Bromosexuals: gay men gravitating towards masculine drag, getting mistaken for straight (NY Observer):
The clinical name for the bromosexual shift is enantiodromia, a Jungian kind of law of physics: Too much of anything makes its opposite grow in popularity. Hippies become yuppies, private-school alpha brats become slacker trustafarians, housewives become cougars.
Thank goodness for the the Norwegians! A real seed vault is being planned in case of Day After Tomorrow-type apocalypse happens. Species will not be wiped out - the plants will survive. Hooray!
From porn to fashion magazine: the Dutch-duo show how it's done. Butt's owners have branched in Fashion Man and most recently, The Gentlewoman - a ladies' version.

Two things to note here: a) His outfit is rocking! b) His co-stars look like lots of fun and as if they really care that he has a nice time.

How much does Juanita W. Goggins (pictured here in an Associated Press shot in 1974, when she became the first black woman elected to the South Carolina legislature) (who sadly died in low temperatures) look like Dr Bailey (Chandra Wilson) from Grey's Anatomy? The answer = LOADS!
Finally, two music items. Lady Gaga and Beyonce's official music video premiere and Florence and the Machine "DOG DAYS ARE OVER" Music Video from LEGS MEDIA.
