"Bunny Lines": The Latest Tool In US Weekly's Arsenal!

Sadie — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:30:00 EDT

"But how can you tell if a star - or your friend! - has been under the needle, not the knife? Look for bunnies" - the latest plastic surgery "tell!" Because you're getting away with undetected surgery on our watch!

Says the New York Post, "These days, cheek and chin implants are blatant, and who wants a natural-looking boob job anymore? Hoist 'em high, sisters." There's no challenge for those of us (?) who apparently make sport of guessing who's had work done and accusing them of it like those undermining friends in the Glade commercials!

But we have a new weapon in our arsenal: bunny lines, "the crinkly wrinkles on both sides of the nose that often appear as a direct result and telltale sign of Botox-related paralysis" and which battle scars are apparently borne by Nicole Kidman, Mickey Rourke and Sly Stallone. Which is good, because otherwise there's no way we'd guess that any of those people had had work done! Apparently the furrows arise because your few non-paralyzed muscles go into overdrive, thus wrinkling where nature never intended. So what's the cure? Well, says one plastic surgeon, "When people find these lines objectionable, Botox is the best way to eradicate them."

Day Without Cats

For many, today is a very dark and fearful day, for today is a day without cats. Urlesque has named September 9th a cat-free zone, opting to shift focus from ever-popular felines to another furry mammal: bunnies. [Time & Urlesque]

The Usagi-to-Cafe in Nagoya, Japan keeps 18 bunnies for customers to play with while they eat. In the video at left, one woman says she's even brought her own rabbit so he can mingle with the "staff bunnies." [Inventor Spot]

Fun fact: chickens are the peacekeepers of the animal world—or at least that's what we assume after watching this video of a pair of chickens that break up a fight between two bunnies. (What, you don't accept universal truths based on viral videos?) Click the image at left to see the video. [Boing Boing]

The Bunny Code

Sadie — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:20:00 EDT

We were psyched when we saw the sinister headline "Once A Playmate Always A Playmate." Like, is there some kind of secret Playboy Mafia, where they have to take things to their grave? Does Hef keep tabs on everyone from some kind of control center in the Playboy Mansion? We wish. Turns out the piece is just about ex-playmates cashing in on their Bunny pasts. Miss February 1986 Jule McCullough does a comedy act called "Funny Bunny" in which she "pulls socks out of her top"; Juliette Rose Fretté, 24, Miss June ’08, landed a book deal for her thesis "Posing for Playboy From a Feminist Perspective." A third was the first one eliminated from Celebrity Apprentice. So, unless the mafia's a lot more boring than we thought, it seems the only thing they've got in common is taking orders from an old man. [Newser]

After This Week, We Never Want To Hear The Words "Manolo" or "Cosmo" Ever Again

Unless you're living in a closet on Mars, you know that the Sex and the City movie premiered today.

Slut Machine live blogged it wearing flip flops and eating some skittles. Suck on that, Louboutin wearers.

The only part of the Sex and the City franchise that we're not sick of is Pat Field and her fabulous, gay, Payless lifestyle.

Tyra Banks revealed her plans for world domination in the New York Times.

TyTy sort of looked like a Bratz doll on that Times Mag cover; Bratz are also involved in world domination schemes

Instead of casting a black actress in the forthcoming movie Stuck, they decided to get Mena Suvari in cornrows. Sigh.

We didn't get cornrows at summer camp. We hated it anyway.

But remember, even in a world where teenage Starbucks-swillers rob girl scouts without remorse, there are still puppies who nurse orphaned baby bunnies, and isn't that a world worth drinking in?

Adorable Dog Adopts Orphaned Baby Bunnies

Tracie — Thu, 29 May 2008 11:00:00 EDT

The best genre of "cute" has to be "animal friends," especially when the animals are of different species. Meet Ellie, a King Charles Spaniel living in the English countryside who was featured on the National Geographic Channel's Dogs With Jobs. Ellie's job is that she's a stay-at-home mom — to bunnies! One day she discovered a litter of baby rabbits whose mother was found dead a few yards away and adopted them as her own. She sleeps with them, faux nurses them, and best of all, snuggles with them. Just watch this clip and try not to die from an overload of warm, fuzzy feelings.

Grandma Rapes Granddaughter's Abuser With A Gourd

Tracie — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:00:00 EDT

Mary Franks is a churchgoing, doting grandma who collects decorative bunny rabbits. She's also a convicted sex offender. About 10 years ago, Mary, and a number of female family members (including her two daughters and sister-in-law) raped a man in the ass with a large cucumber after finding out that he was molesting Mary's then 5-year-old granddaughter. Mary went straight to child services and the police, but was frustrated when there was no follow through (the molester was the granddaughter's stepdad). For their crime, the women were all charged with rape, torture, attempted murder and kidnapping, but were convicted only of rape, and sentenced to jail time; Mary's grandchildren were removed from her home and placed in foster care. Above is a clip from the 2003 documentary about the case called The Cucumber Incident. So are Mary and her family awful rapists or vigilante heroines?

Oldies But Goodies

Jessica — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:45:00 EST

Having trouble getting knocked up? Try some hare drool! According to a recently unearthed 17th century manual called The Ladies Companion, Or The English Midwife, the antidote to a barren womb is to "Take the slime that a hare will have about his mouth when he eateth mallows and drink it in wine...Two hours after lie with your husband and fear not (faith my author) but that you will conceive." Other infertility remedies include mouse-ear, liquorice, catnip, and mugwort, but they all the recipes seem to involve boiling these ingredients in wine or sherry, so maybe these potions are something we can get behind, even if we do have to down some rabbit spit.
