The SHIT - Elton John iPod Nanos

Blue jean baby, LA lady, seemstress for the band...

These sparkly limited-edition Elton John iPod Nanos definitely live up to the flamboyant style of their eponymous inspiration.

Created by Goldgenie, each Starburst iPod Nano is encrusted with laser-embedded 250 color-coordinated Swarovski crystals, and features Sir Elton John’s signature etched into the back of the case.

They’re available in black, blue, green, orange, pink, purple, red, and silver, and only 100 of each color is being made. Each iPod also includes Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits, a 2-CD set of Elton’s most famous tracks.

They’re definitely not cheap, but at least 12.5% of the purchase price from each purchase goes to a good cause, the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Bits and Pieces of Fun

Model Belly Button Less

The beauty in question is Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova.

Its absence was noticed when the 24-year-old graced the catwalk for lingerie giant Victoria Secret.

While most of us have an "outie" or an "innie", Ms Kurkova has a smooth indentation (although sometimes a tummy button is airbrushed onto her photos in post-production).

All Grown Up - Dakoda Fanning

Dakoda Fanning has come along way since I Am Sam. When the movie was released in 2001 Dakoda was a young 7 years old.

Yesterday she arrived in NYC for a Letterman apperance looking like this! She's still not quite 16, but she has surely matured. The girl is smoking hot! Hollywood is going to have a heartbreaker on their hands.

The SHIT but kinda SHIT - Power Spewing

http://barfblog.foodsafety.ksu.edu/

Ok so it's a little gross. But sometimes you need to see stuff like this to make you appreciate the finer things in life.

As the blog description reads this site contains musings about food safety and things that make you barf. It's not for those with a weak stomach - but it's hard to draw your eyes away from it.

Family Loves sees a trend in the making... POWER SPEWING.

As a side note, if you boot like this in FAMILY you are more than likely going to get booted out of the club. Don't say we didn't warn you.

The SHIT - Pimp That Snack

Pimp That Snack

This is one of the coolest sites in the world! And we would know, because we have pretty much visited everything on the World Wide Web, 'researching', trying to find the best stuff to write about in Family Loves.

Just like mini versions, big versions of well known brands and food stuffs are the bomb.

Check it out for yourself: http://www.pimpthatsnack.com/

Here are a two of our favs...

The Ferrero Rocher

Fruit Pastille Lolly

THE SHIT - Coachella

COACHELLA

2008/2009 has seen Australian shores infiltrated with a ton of festivals, even more sideshows, and a plethora of club shows. We have been rocked by the bravest, the brilliant and the best.

Not until looking at a line-up like Coachella have we ever felt jipped...
But then again it is Coachella; Glastonbury's favourite wingman.

For those attending, we hope Wino isn't completely back on the wagon. Where's the fun in seeing the hot mess if she's not throwing punches.

Family Loves Guide to

Drinking

Drinking - it’s Gen Y’s favourite hobby. The drink a person chooses explains a lot about them. The scope of social commentary is as wide as the selection at Family’s Cocktail Bar.

Want to know what the drink in your hand says about you? Read on for all the answers.

Wine

Red: (Women) I’m dreaming of the day I can pile my kids into the minivan after soccer practice.

White: (Men) I’m waiting for my chance to slip a Roofie into your drink.

Beer

Domestic:

(Men) I enjoy watching sports, and don’t expect much out of life.

(Women) I think I’m unpretentious, and confident, so go ahead and treat me like a doormat.

Imported:

(Men) I am statistically more likely to buy a woman a drink.

Vodka

Bloody Mary: I’m alcoholic, who needs to find new and creative ways to work vegetables into my diet.

Cosmopolitan:

(Men) I’m gay.

(Women) I watch Sex in the City reruns.

Red Bull & Vodka: My dealer wouldn’t answer their phone.

Tequila

Straight:

(Women) I’m looking for a party. There’s a good chance I was on Girls Gone Wild.

(Men) Take advantage of me, now’s your chance.

Whiskey/Bourbon

Straight: I’m a veteran cop who just saw my partner shot to death mere days before his retirement. You can leave the bottle, buddy.

On the Rocks:

(Men) I could kick your ass.

(Women) I’m divorced at least twice, me kids don’t visit, I have liver spots, and I reek of cigarettes… come and get me, boys!

Gin

Gin and Juice: This will probably be the only drink I touch all night. I’m a pussy.

Gin and Tonic: I live a fast-paced lifestyle with no time to stuff around. Even my drink of choice can be abbreviated to just two letters.

Martini:

(Women) Please notice me – I’m either a truly classy person or else I wish to play one on TV. (Men) I know how to play the game.

Rum

Rum and Coke: I like drinks that aren’t too complicated, don’t cost much, and taste the same no matter where I order one.

Daiquiri: (Women) I was on vacation once, and I like to pretend I still am.

Piña Colada: I like shitty music… and getting caught in the rain.

Others

Champagne: This drink was free or I’m going to get laid tonight.

Jägermeister: I’m in college, possibly high school.

Brandy: Shortly, we will retire to the drawing room, where I will reveal the identity of the murderer.

Absinthe: I have a death wish.

* All of these apply to bar situations. What you drink in the privacy of your own home is between you and your sponsor.
