My Next Top Model

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I heart Natasha.

She is a stupid genius! Go, you Russian idiot, Go!
Natasha and Renee are easily my favorite Top Model contenders this season – excuse me, this CYCLE. I love Natasha’s juggernaut of beautiful cluelessness, and Renee’s tragic ferocity has won me over. She’s like a feral cat trapped in a box! If I have [...]

Bill Clinton Practically F*cks a Spin Class On The UWS

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Hillary Clinton is officially pimping out her husband, and he’s jazzed about it. Yesterday the former president visited a spin class on West 72nd Street in NYC to meet with a spin class full of his wife’s campaign contributors. Seriously. A spin class. Each woman in the class had paid $2300 (in campaign contributions) to [...]

Point – Counterpoint: Babies

Point: Babies are stupid

by Eliza Skinner
They’re cute, little, and soft, but babies are dumb as rocks. When was the last time you had any sort of meaningful exchange with a baby? In my experience, any attempt to speak, play, or work with a baby elicits staring, drooling, and at best a weak attempt to [...]

Eliza Skinner is: Shameless

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

I have a new show starting at the UCB Theater. I hope you lovelies check it out, otherwise I’ll have to assume my audience is full of twitching monsters picking their teeth with the bones of babies.
The show is about people you don’t like, but have to love.

Royal Family

Monday, March 12th, 2007

A few summers ago I assisted my father on a film about the founding of Jamestown & Pocahontas. I wrote about it at length here. Anyway, the film is now finished and they have produced some web videos to go along with it. My father cast himself as King James I – and you, obsessively [...]

Job Search ‘07!

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Ok. The fun and games are over. The random voiceover jobs and coaching gigs are not going to pay for my new spring wardrobe, or my rent, anymore. I need a job.
I don’t care if it’s mindless, or stupid, but there are a few things I won’t do. It’s not that I’m too good [...]

Miss Houston

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

It’s the easiest one to pick, but my favorite teacher was my Kindergarten Teacher, Miss Houston. When we had career day, I was the only kid who came to school dressed in my regular clothes. Everyone else was dressed as little artists, and teachers (all girl school.) She asked me why I wasn’t dressed up. [...]

Orville the fucking terrifying duck

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

Today I was looking around on YouTube and stumbled across this:

It is REMARKABLY creepy, on many levels.
If you’d like to learn more about Orville the frightening, lonely and retarded (yet smart enough to speak) duck, here is an article about his creator.
By the way – if you’re ever trying to act like a complete asshole, [...]
