Female bodybuilders are the drag queen of of hetero women
(Source: FreeWilliamsburg) Its universally accepted that female bodybuilders, like drag queens, are an interest we are fascinated or repulsed by, depending on the amount of make up and bronzer. This video features older tanned muscle women posing and bumping like they're in on the joke, which makes it more fun to watch. I don't like the song.

Twitter's new retweet | Thumbs down
Tried the new re-tweet feature. Great if you don't desire to add/adjust the content of what you're retweeting, which for me is never the case. When retweeting, I usually change the link, add a new link, add an @ person or shorten the tweet to be more succinct so others can more easily retweet it. So, this tool doesn't work for me. You're not an RSS feed. Don't auto-retweet.

Bike guy
There's a festival going on (I forgot the name) that is doing stuff all around 14 street in NYC. Here's one "event" I happened to walk by. No idea what he was doing, but I liked it.

Specials | Free tacos on the High Line
On October 1, 2009, I was 15 minutes early for the 4pm-8pm presentation of Specials at the High Line underneath The Standard Hotel: I had a 6pm movie to catch at Lincoln Center. So I got my free taco, took some photos, got excited about the polaroids on a ring and began my travel back to the subway and up to Lincoln Center for what turned out to be an awful movie: To Die Like a Man. I wish I would have stayed at the High Line. I was told about "Specials" by Orlando-based performance artist Brian Feldman. They did "Specials" in September, but I missed it that night. I am glad I caught it this time. View the slideshow bigger

She took a risk
UPDATE: They removed the video. It was of Lady Gaga doing a performance at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards aka The VMAs. She ends up with blood on her face hanging by a rope.

I bought this for three bucks in Kissimmee, Florida. I thought it was compact, informative and neat. Its going in the "inspiration" folder.

Glenn Close in our ad
This is an ad I designed for my culture blog, The Daily City, that appeared in the program for the summer play here in Orlando, War of the Worlds. That photo of Glen was taken at Enzian Theatre by our staff photographer Denna Eramo. She's awesome.

Target tosses my salad request
I like writing about larger non-local businesses on The Daily City if I can do it in my own voice and the story is interesting to me. So a few weeks ago I found these salads at the new-ish SoDo Super Target that were almost high-end, but priced cheap. I wrote up a post and emailed Target to see if I could shoot some video inside their store about the salads. They said no. See below.

I promote you on Facebook, you pay me
I am a fan of "W Magazine" on Facebook. (facebook.com/markbaratelli, W Mag on Facebook) Their account posts very infrequently, so when I see a piece they post, I go check it out. Today I liked the subject they posted about so much, I shared it on my Facebook Feed.
I should get paid for that.
I deserve a cent or a half-cent or some kind of online credit towards something. Maybe Facebook sets this up for "W Magazine." If I, a user of Facebook, re-post an advertiser's content, I should get paid. And if I am a good user (aka I only post stuff I like and I think my friends would like) then I should get paid more.
