The only thing more funny than this woman's "Full Sexy Dance"...
...would be me trying to do it.
I think what makes it so bad is that they left her mic on. I mean, all the huffing and puffing... wow.
God, love her, though, for getting her full sexy dance on.

Our first episode follows Lonnie as he leaves his small-town Texas home for the Big Apple. Oh, the adventures he has! His cousin Chuck-Now-Che shows him the activist in himself, while Fontina Fontaine introduces him to the dark, but scratchable underbelly of her doggy empire.

Toys For Tots
When Kristi D. emailed her address to me for her signed book, she wrote at the bottom...
PS - Since I'm getting something, I'd like to give a little back. Name a charity and I will donate.
Isn't that nice of her?
Since it's Christmas time I suggested Toys for Tots and said I'd donate, too. So, maybe you can give also! Here's a link:

Via HuffPo... How To Talk To Girls" Book To Be Adapted Into Movie For Fox
Twentieth Century Fox has purchased the options to nine-year-old Alec Greven's book, "How to Talk To Girls." THR's Borys Kit reports that the studio will adapt the book, which was published by News Corp. cousin Harper Collins, into a movie:
Fox is ready to take advice from a 9-year-old.
The studio has acquired the film rights to "How to Talk to Girls," a cute 46-page self-help tome written by Alex [sic] Greven, a 9-year-old in the fourth grade.
Greven, who attends school in Castle Rock, Colorado, wrote "Girls" as a handwritten, $3 pamphlet sold at his school book fair; he wrote it after he noticed his peers were having some trouble talking to the ladies, though the book is geared for all ages. Among this advice: Comb your hair and don't wear sweats; control your hyperness and cut down on sugar if necessary; a crush is like a love disease that can drive you mad; it is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry but are like cars that need a lot of oil.
Here he is on Ellen a few months ago:
Craig Ferguson
I'm watching Craig Ferguson. His mother died at the beginning of the month and he dedicated tonight's show to her. At the end, he read a poem that he read at her funeral. It's so sad, but so nice.
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze
and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come to
mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says,
"There, she is gone!"
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight, that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar
as she was when she left my side.
She is just as able to bear her load
of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says,
"There, she is gone!"
there are other eyes watching her coming
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout,
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.
—Henry van Dyke

My Camera
Everyone keeps asking about my camera, so I'm going to tell you about it.
I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT, which is a digital SLR camera (as opposed to a point and shoot.) As far as digital SLRs go, this camera is as entry-level as they come. If you've never owned an SLR camera before and are thinking about getting one, the Digital Rebel is great one to begin with.
The least expensive Digital Rebel is the Canon Digital Rebel XS. You can get it in a kit (meaning it comes with an 18-55mm starter lens) for $460 at Amazon.
The next step up is the Canon Digital Rebel XSi, which retails for $640 at Amazon. (It also comes with a lens.)
After that, there's the 40D, which retails for $840 (body only) at Amazon, and then the 50D, which retails for $1,100 (body only) at Amazon. They go up from there...
When it comes to taking good pictures, the camera lens is more important than the body. So again, if you're new to photography, you'll be fine using a Digital Rebel and the kit lens for a while. As time goes on, however, you'll probably want to upgrade if you like taking pictures as much as I do.
The first lens I bought was the Canon EF-S 10-22mm, a wide-angle zoom lens. It takes amazing pictures. Also, it a higher-quality glass than the kit lens, so everything turns out really sharp. Some of my examples:
The second lens I bought was the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8, a really inexpensive portrait lens that everyone with a Canon should have. I took the picture of me holding the camera above with it, as well as these:
I also took the hotties on the subway and Nora making beignets with it.
So that's really all I have—a basic SLR camera and a couple additional lenses. The next thing I will probably do is upgrade my camera body to a 40D or 50D. My lenses will work on those as well. (Something that's worth paying attention to when you're buying a lens.)
Before I go, look at this cool thing I recently did my 50mm lens:
