Santa, NO!

'An advent calendar of unpleasant Santa antics, with the occasional uplifting/confusing Santa action shot.

Y'know, for kids.'

I wish these were my arms

Great article about blackwork tattoos and more pics here.

Gather 'round the computer screen, kiddies

For a limited time, you can watch PeeWee Herman's Special Christmas Special, originally broadcast in 1988. Ah, the eighties...

Best Christmas cookie I've seen today

This totally adorable gingerbread house perches on the rim of your mug (which is hopefully filled with yummy hot chocolate). The instructions for this little beauty are here.

So your kid wants a pony for Christmas?

How about this instead?

'This gorgeous little unicorn has been custom made using the hide from a still-born little black lamb. She is a ONE OF A KIND!! NO animal was killed for the purpose of this mount! As a lamb, this little one never took a breath, but here she is, beautifully crafted into a mystical, magical REAL UNICORN!'

Today we have music... and porn

Massive Attack's video for the single Paradise Circus features the legendary porn actress Georgina Spelvin, most famous for her starring role in The Devil in Miss Jones (1973), talking about getting into the adult film industry. The interview is mixed with clips from her films. It's worth noting the difference between Golden Age porn and today's version: nobody's body is overexercised or surgically enhanced, the pubic bushes are natural and everybody looks like they're actually enjoying what/who they're doing. So refreshing! (If one can say that about porn.)
