TODAY'S TOPIC: HUGE NUTS
The only other man I've seen with a sack this ginormous has been naked poet Tommy D, who it has been rumored has elephantitis of the nut sack. Rachel Kramer Bussel wrote an article about the recent Naked Comedy Show at The Pit. I'd been invited to go by the producers but I couldn't make it -- thank god! And a note to Rachel and anyone who reads this article about the Naked Comedy Show and Tommy D -- the white "mysterious" fluid -- is it really so mysterious what that was? Do I need to have you over here for a sex-ed fresh up, Rachel?
I wonder if Michael Jackson will purchase his remains?
The sneakers are the best part.
NOTE: His nuts are literally huge, though they have shrunken from how small they had been. I don't know whether to cheer or jeer NY Magazine for blurring Tommy's ding a ling. His nuts are so vast that his penis is almost not visable. It's really a thing of amazement. Tommy D should be an exhibit in a museum. I hope he donates his body to science.

DID YOU KNOW THAT DELFINO IS ON I-TUNES?
aka
MY GOLD SUIT IS GONE!
You can't buy Led Zeppelin on I-tunes, but you can buy Jessica Delfino.
And since I left my signature gold suit in a taxi cab
last Friday night, I could use some cheering up.
I never take taxi cabs - I hate them - I only took one because
I was late and it was cold. Excuses! I always ride my bike. I was
on my way to Galapagos in Brooklyn for the play I was in, "Little Building".
I gave the driver directions, "N. 6th and Berry, please!",
and fell into a hypnotic taxi-relaxi state. When I looked up,
we were at N. 12th. "Hey!" I stammered, busting out of my head trip.
"N. 6th, man!" He turned that fancy Toyota SUV cab right around
and we sat in yuppie traffic for an extra $4. "Do I get a
discount on the ride since you screwed up the address?" I asked.
"Your fault!" he screamed at me in his clunky foreign accented
english. "Fine," I conceded, and handed him the pay.
I gave him a $2.30 tip, not the .30 cent tip that
crossed my mind. I scampered out of the taxi, steamed at the
thoughtlessness of the driver, and as it pulled away,
I had that nagging feeling in my head: "I feel like I'm forgetting something."
Five minutes later, I howled in distress when I
realized what it had been: my signature gold suit!
This awful photo shows me in my glorious signature gold suit. Notice how maniacal my hair looks and how pink my cheeks are? That's because I had just gotten off stage after full-throttle dirty folk rocking an audience at The Anti-Mall in NC, on my "Merry Shitmas" tour.
It had been beside me on two hangers, just back
from the dry cleaner. It's not replaceable. It was a sample
from the line Mille K in Denmark. A gold lame jacked and a
gold lame skirt, each on a separate hanger. I shouldn't have even
been able to own the suit. It was a very expensive ensemble,
that had been given to me as a gift after no one else wanted to
buy it. I mean, who the hell wears a matching gold lame suit? I'd
marveled at the amazing work the dry cleaner had done. It had been
littered with black permanent marker spots when my drunken boyfriend
had absent-mindedly flung a knock-off Sharpie "Sharpei" marker in
my direction. That dry cleaner had removed every single black spot.
I guess those markers aren't so permanent after all.
I called 311, the taxi commission and all that shit, but that suit was
so beautiful, it is certainly gone, gone, gone forever. Some gay man
squeezed his skinny little ass into that gold skirt and
is wearing my suit right now.
On the slim, strange chance that someone found the suit
and is googling lost, gold suit, and comes across this post, I am
offering a cash reward for the suit.
I also lost my digital camera in a taxi three years ago,
never to be seen again.
FUCK TAXIS!
The moral of the story: Never take a taxi. Always ride your bike.

IF WOMEN WERE IN CHARGE, THERE WOULD BE WARS OVER SHOES
One look at those ruby slippers, and you can see why.
These are my favorite shoes in the world. Look at how they sparkle.
I don't know if I'd start a war over them, but I might be tempted by the
devil to do something naughty for them.
The famous ruby red slippers, made famous in "The Wizard Of Oz"
(worn by Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) as she gallivanted to Oz)
are on display at The National Air & Space Museum as part of the
Smithsonian Institute / National History Museum. They are there
along with the scarecrow outfit -- maybe in the hopes it will scare
away any sticky fingered young dirty folk rock song singers.
Try as I did, I couldn't find any similar ruby slippers on Amazon.com.
But I did find a cute inspired knock-off pair of flats.
I also like them in gold.If any philanthropists or wealthy fans are paying attention
to my Amazon wish list, these shoes will inspire good art in me.
If you think red sparkly shoes are too frivilous,
how about a Parker fly guitar instead?

RELATED??
Ever heard of Peter Gault & Amy Rachelle? Here's a song of theirs, called "Cosmic Vagina". I may be related to these people, because I'm from Vagina, too.
When I was a fresh new teen, my mom bought a store in Virginia. I stayed there with her for the summer. It was the worst summer of my life. We had an out door shower, so while we bathed, vultures circled over our heads and spiders watched my nubile young breasts grow. It was also very hot and I had a lot of old, poor suitors. I have always thought that the word "Virginia" is like the word "Vagina". Maybe that is why their bumper stickers say, "Virginia is for lovers." Maybe it was a typo.
Anyway, y'all know how much I like vagina stuff, and how I have a lot of songs about vaginas, so, thanks for sending me vagina links, and keep 'em coming!

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD YOUR SONG ON THE RADIO?
Yesterday, I got a little taste of radio play when my band, HAUNTED PUSSY had a song broadcast on college radio station WNYU, New York University's radio station - 89.1 FM.
THE OFFICIAL SCORE:
FCC: zero. Histrionic fear-metal: one.
Way to go, team ghost-rape!
Clockwise from right: HP's guitar-magician Mr. Brooke Shields, (no relation), Lead histrionics Bilge Byron, Ghost Narrator, Bilge "Magic Poonon" Baron.

Echidne Of The Snakes
According to mythology, Echidna was a half super-hot face-and-torsoed nymph, half hideous-serpent-bodied woman, best known for kicking the asses of the Olympians and then getting her snake-ass handed back to her by Zeus, who sealed her boy toy up in the earth below a mountain, but let her and her kids live, as a "challenge" to (a.k.a. 'fuck with') future heroes. She apparently also had a few kids with Zeus. Haaaaa-aay!
She was immortal and ageless, but she was killed while sleeping by Argus Panopes, the hundred eyed giant. He sounds like he should have been a wrestler. Times were tough back then.
Echidne Of The Snakes is a blogger who recently wrote this article about the newest series of retarded blabbery spewed forth from the lips of William Donohue. She better watch it or he might say something inflammatory about her and bring her site thousands of hits and legions of new fans. Careful, girl!
