When I first heard about this story, I thought it was a joke.  But apparently, it’s real.

Scholars and collectors think that da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa model nude and that there are several versions of a nude portrait floating around.

MSNBC on the above painting: “A note dating to 1845 records that the Cardinal bought ‘the portrait of the Mona Lisa, mistress of Francis I, by Leonardo da Vinci,’ from the Rospigliosis, a rich aristocratic Roman family.”

Girls!  I have to tell you about this!  I read xsparkage today, and she found The Most Amazing Eyeshadow Collection Ever and it is called the Skittles collection from The Mineralista!!  Swatches are available on both sites.  I am super excited to go as Rainbow Brite for Halloween!!  …Perhaps I’ve said too much…



"look at the cheesiness of it"

I found two really obscene Cheetos videos.  The cheesy goodness in these is just outta control!

The first features the Cheetos Pet, which at first glance looks something like a Chia Pet, but upon closer inspection turns out to be much tastier.
The second features Don P., the Cheetos Artist.  I ask, real or not real?  This becomes a very disturbing question if pondered at length.
