Gustav Klimt's portrait of Elisabeth Lederer, that sold for $236.4m (£180m) this week!
It's another snippets post, dear reader:
- Mutilation news: You thought Pete Burns and his lip-fillers allegedly made of embryo foreskins was disgusting? The latest sicko plastic surgery trend is fish sperm extract injections! Ewww...
[click any pic to embiggen]
- Postmodernist extravaganza news: The fabulous Southwark Underground Station [above] - opened in 1999, but with a hugely Art Deco look and feel - has received Grade II-listed status from the government, following advice from Historic England. It deserves it!
- Oops! news: A ferry company had to apologise after children were left “screaming” when a pornographic film was played on one of its ships from France to Sussex.
- Was Deadpool right? news: Canada is allegedly in talks about participation in the Eurovision Song Contest!
- Oh, yes they did! news: Renowned thesp and national treasure Sir Ian "Serena" McKellen and former Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn are both appearing in the panto Wicked Witches (an "updated version" of the Wizard of Oz) at The Pleasance Theatre in Islington! I always said Corbyn was a joke...
- And finally: The very lovely Goldie Hawn blew out 80 candles on her cake yesterday! She is one of the few remaining true stars - and we love her!
And the weather? After the fiercely cold winds earlier this week, now it's pissing-down again. Yuk.
I'm here to tell you, my "male facials" have left my skin silky feeling all these years later. But can't speak to the fish sperm. Stick with what you know I say.
ReplyDeleteAs I said back in September's post, the amount of Bukkake I've been involved in, it's a surprise my face never got pregnant... Jx
DeleteWell, I’ve heard plenty about sperm facials but never FISH sperm! Much easier to get some guy to come on your face, isn’t it? Such a kitschy number for Goldie Hawn. Fell in love seeing her on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In in the late ’60s.
ReplyDeleteIt used to be so much easier to get that when I was younger, Mitch. Sigh.
DeleteI've loved Goldie Hawn since Laugh-In, too! Jx

ReplyDelete"Sock it to me, sock it to me!" Jx
Deletehahaha xxx
DeletePerhaps with Canada in Eurovision we might get a vote or two?
ReplyDeleteNow, if you'll excuse me, I think I need a trip to Southwark...
It would be nice to get a vote or two - the last few years (Sam Ryder excepted) have been dire for the UK at Eurovision.
DeleteSouthwark's tube station is definitely worth the visit! Jx
I want to see Southwark underground as well! Has it been in films?
ReplyDeleteIt appears to have stopped raining for a moment.
Sx
I have no idea about it being used in films, but I imagine it would be ideal.
DeleteSun's out at the moment here! Jx
I went to see Su "without an e" Pollard a couple of weeks ago, she told us she is very keen to represent the UK at Eurovision. My parents had a print of Gustav klimt of Judith? The one that looks like Maureen Lipman.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of Su Pollard at Eurovision makes me shudder.

PS Dame Maureen would be flattered...
Someone desperately wanted a Klimt on their wall.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 1960’s and 1970’s quacks in Switzerland were offering very expensive fountain of youth treatments. It involved injections of placental cells from dead sheep for very vain, age conscience women of wealth. Of course the injections did not work, proof money can make fools of people and charlatans very rich.
And Goldie Hawn is always a delight :)

PS Gawd bless Goldie!
It might be just me but it looks like Klimt painted Lady Mary from Downton Abbey.
ReplyDeleteShe isn't rolling her eyes with disdain... Jx
