Naomi Wolf, Dirty Socialist and Feminazi, just got herself busted at Occupy Wall Street.

What's a damn shame is Jane Fonda wasn't with her.

10:00 Author Naomi Wolf arrested tonight in NY in Occupy protest with about a dozen others. Photo at left by Mike Shane and here. I was invited to the same Huff Post "GameChangers" event but declined to go. Reports suggest she was inside, came out, saw dozens of protesters, maybe said something to police and was cuffed. Or something like that. As noted below, protesters went there to target Gov. Cuomo and his "millionaires' tax."

10:20 Update on arrest of Naomi Wolf, @RDevro on the scene a: "Protesters gathered at 1st precinct where they believe Naomi Wolf is being held. They briefly sang, 'Give it up for the NYPD.''" @OccupyWallStNYC adds: "not allowing us near 1st Precinct, so we are surrounded by 50 cops on sidewalk and singing classics."

10:30 Gothamist covers Naomi Wolf arrest with how it went down here. She was basically sticking for protesters right to gather there, advising them on megaphones, etc. ... National Lawyers Guild saying Wolf was arrested for standing on the sidewalk in front of the Cuomo event, which she'd just attended.

Running that mouth in high gear instead of engaging her (fierce but tiny) brain.

Naomi Wolf, a "third-wave" feminist, was hyper critical of beautiful women and the men who admire them (the 'patriarchy'). Her rise to fame came in the early '90's...

In the early 1990s, Wolf garnered international fame as a spokesperson of third-wave feminism[6][7] as a result of the success of her first book The Beauty Myth, which became an international bestseller.[8] In the book, she argues that "beauty" as a normative value is entirely socially constructed, and that the patriarchy determines the content of that construction with the goal of reproducing its own hegemony.

Wolf posits the idea of an "iron-maiden," an intrinsically unattainable standard that is then used to punish women physically and psychologically for their failure to achieve and conform to it. Wolf criticized the fashion and beauty industries as exploitative of women

So, in honor of Naomi's arrest, I feel obliged to post a photo of a very beautiful woman. It really pains me to have to do this. But I was saving this for a special occasion, and this definitely qualifies.

Kind of favors Naomi, doesn't she?

And with a book, too. Win, win.   )

Happy LABOR DAY! Bikinis and Union Thugs, oh my!

• Kudos! to Working Girl Ariana Leigh...who never gets a day off.

• Great job, Wisconsin, #WiUnion! Getting ready to celebrate THEIR version of Labor Day!

• The United States Post Office is nearing collapse this winter, without Congressional intervention.

Why, you ask? Well, no one uses stamps very much anymore, that's understandable. But underlying that lack of revenue is the REAL problem: Labor Unions have garroted the USPS's ability to be competitive. The New York Times...

The post office’s problems stem from one hard reality: it is being squeezed on both revenue and costs.

As any computer user knows, the Internet revolution has led to people and businesses sending far less conventional mail.

At the same time, decades of contractual promises made to unionized workers, including no-layoff clauses, are increasing the post office’s costs. Labor represents 80 percent of the agency’s expenses, compared with 53 percent at United Parcel Service and 32 percent at FedEx, its two biggest private competitors. Postal workers also receive more generous health benefits than most other federal employees.

Here's hoping that Congress will allow this monopolized Postal unit to fail, and re-organize without involving Labor Unions. A pipe dream, I know, but Labor Unions have done nothing to save jobs in any industry they infest; instead, their primary reason for existence is to bleed a company dry for everything it can provide, even past the point of the Company's own survival. The Company is forced to bankruptcy or reorganization, or, as we see happening every day, relocation of capital and manufacturing facilities offshore, to protect the shareholders from unions.

Biologically speaking, a parasite is only successful as a viable species if it can feed off but not kill off it's prey. Once the host is dead and gone, the parasite dies as well. Then the cycle repeats: host species re-populate, parasites surge to infect, followed by the host species' population dropping off again, followed by...well, you've seen the charts.

The Unions are parasites on American businesses. Too much capital taken from the host, the host dies; the parasite dies as well.

Let's let the host, the United States Postal Service, die. The parasites will have to take jobs at FedEx or UPS (if they are good enough to qualify), sans the foul Union demands and protections; they will still earn decent wages and benefits, just not excessive enough to kill the host. And they can be FIRED! if they don't perform as expected.

C'mon, leftists, you believe in evolution. Let's allow some nice natural selection to take place here.

Let the weak and dying host go ahead and croak.

Rule 5 Sunday: Victoria Secret's Candice Swanepoel

A beautiful South African model, Candice Swanepoel was recently voted #10 on Forbe's top-earning models list; earning $3M in 2010 - 2011. That's how it's done.

More photos of Candice below the fold...

Robert Stacy McCain's Rule 5 Sunday certainly is a fine way to start a week, isn't it?

The man's a damned genius, for inventing (and for carrying on the implementation of) that Rule.

RSM's Rule 5, last Sunday's edition

Aw, hell, one more!

She has also walked the runways for the world's top designer's including Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce and Gabbanna and Diane Von Furstenberg.

Last year, the stunning blonde has earned herself a spot at number ten on the Forbes World's Top-Earning Models list, with estimated earnings of $3 million over the past 12 months.

She won the coveted role of a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2010, following in the footsteps of international beauties such as Giselle Bundchen and Heidi Klum.

The blonde beauty is currently dating fellow model Hermann Nicoli who she has been with for five years.

She spoken about her ideal night in with her lover which she says would involve 'an evening at home relaxing, watching a movie on the couch and eating a home-cooked meal'.

The devil's in the house...

UPDATE: Linked by RS McCain! Thanks!

Jennifer Lopez and her "Broad Sides"

Someone left a comment on an old photoshop I created way back in 2007. Thought I'd bring it back, 4 years later, to see if it'll get any new hits up here in present time.

Jennifer Lopez has a HUGE derriere. That is all.

Heh. What an exceptional ass Jennifer Lopez is sporting there. You could land a tailhooker on that one, I'll warrant.

Marilyn Monroe in Chicago: Twenty-Six Feet of Statuesque Beauty

Heh. This will make the 'upskirt'-haters cry, won't it?

This iconic pose, never yet duplicated to my satisfaction (I'll give Kate Middleton's yellow dress blowup some credit for trying) might be the most famous upskirt shot in the short history of photography.

(Note: these two images are not the same images you'll find at this linky; they've been enhanced by me using my own post-production techniques, methods that bring out colors and enhance features as to my liking. If you're interested in exactly what I've done here, drop an email.)

Newly-wed bride Anya Nguyen and her bridesmaids look at "Forever Marilyn", a sculpture by Seward Johnson, on July 15, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois. The stainless steel and aluminum sculpture, which stands 26 feet tall and weighs 34,000 pounds, will be on display in Chicago through the spring of 2012. The sculpture was inspired by Marilyn Monroe iconic scene in the 1955 movie "Seven Year Itch". (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Recalls that Marilyn Monroe 'sand sculpture' from about a year ago...

I've had trolls complain about my Rule 5 posts, pointing out that invariably these women might well be much younger than me (Kate Upton, below the fold), or that they might be married to other men (Kate Middleton). One frequent troll even said that he didn't like women in dresses; that he didn't know any women who owned dresses; that he preferred women to wear pants. The little guy is insane, really, and likely has never known a woman (literally or biblically).

A woman who wears a dress immediately becomes classier in my never-to-be humble opinion. If yours doesn't have a dress, buy her one! (Hint: Wal-Mart is not where you want to shop for dresses! Or for women, for that matter!)

h/t The Daily Edit (and for that previously-mentioned troll who hated women in dresses ).

Kate Middleton, below the fold...

Raspberry...

...is the name I gave this young lady, seen here at Cowboy Blob's Weekend Photo and Caption Contest.

Couldn't think of much else I could do with her, until I saw this Twitpic of this twittereer named...Aubrey.

So, here's Aubrey - Rasberry. Or just Ausberry, if you like. After a makeup accident. Looks like she's getting ready for a Halowe'en costume, right here in July, or is maybe confuzzled as to the 'Avatar' colorset.

Hey, wasn't much to work with, little Raspberry. But Aubrey, now, it's my pleasure.

You're welcome.

Rule 5 Presents: Yumi and Yuri, famous people. Somewhere.

Haven't done a 'Rule 5' post in awhile. Browsing the Web Collage led me to photos of Yumi Sugimoto and Yuri Yoshida. These, chosen for their unusual...names (what right-thinking person names a daughter 'Yumi' ?).

If you are one who draws fanciful animes, here's some real thing.

Which one is Yumi, and which one is Yuri? You should know this, you know.

Imogene Thomas, Ryan Giggs and (HARRUMPH!) LORD JUDGE'S GAGGING ORDER

This is something what made me smile. Remember, this is my blog; what makes me smile makes me want to...post.

Hilarity of the Week

Quick synopsis: retired superstar 'footballer' Ryan Giggs, winningest and most famous 'footballer' in Soccer History (if you care about that gay-assed stuff), married with children, chock-full of endorsements (think Tiger Woods without the club) gets a 'secret' 'superinjunction' against 'British newspapers and social media', now! complete with lawsuits, naming Twitter of all parties, to keep his sordid shaggilicious affair with wicked supermodel Imogene Thomas (NOT related to Helen Thomas, obviously) secret, so he can stay married (and keep that endorsement cash flowing).

That sordid affair with Imogene Thomas is mentioned in Ryan Giggs' Wiki page, so there's your 'secret' out the window, Ryan. Everyone on the planet now knows Ryan Giggs shagged Imogene Thomas.

To add even more to the hilarity, "Lord Judge" (seriously!) says it's time to Regulate the Internets...

Earlier Lord Judge – welcoming a juridical report on superinjunctions – said readers placed greater trust in the content of traditional media than those "who peddle lies" on websites.

He urged that ways be found to curtail the "misuse of modern technology", in the same way that those involved with online child pornography were pursued by the police.

"Are you really going to say that someone who has a true claim for protection perfectly well made has to be at the mercy of modern technology?" he asked.

The lawsuit lists the defendants as "Twitter Inc and persons unknown".

The "persons unknown" are described as those "responsible for the publication of information on the Twitter accounts".

I needed a laugh.

And some of that Imogene lass, but I'll settle for the laugh. ;)

New York Post: "Osama bin Wankin'; Whora Bora; Debbie Does Abbottabad"

This is all over the 'net today, but doesn't matter; I wanted it here, with my own post-processing enhancements (multi-layered saturation, high-pass sharpening &c.) in place, of course.

I 'touched' on this just a week ago, anticipating the find of a porn stash in OBL's lair, with a pshop for Cowboy Blob.

See Jeff G's " 9 (potential) porn videos found in bin Laden bunker" for further hilarity, including a contribution from agile_dog: "The men who stare at goatse". So damned close to truth, likely.

Oh, some questions as to the 'source photo' I used last weekend, supplied by Cowboy; it's very decent and deserves a full showing here as well...

There's a story behind this CGI creation, involving a video game I've never head of. Read the comments here for details.

Oh, and You're Welcome~!
