You’re not likely to see this in Ottawa any time soon. I wonder what it would feel like to have Homer Simpson painted on your ass.

The Great Big Mama Thornton and company jamming with harmonicas in 1965. John Lee Hooker can be forgiven for being a weak link, as he is known more for the guitar.

Garbage Girls is a project of the photographer Maya Fuhr for Vice that shows messy girls in their messy bedrooms.

Do people this photogenic actually exist IRL? Hahah.

Twenty year old me would have found this really cool. Now that I’m a father and a real adult, my first reaction is still “really cool”, but my second is ”Great, now that you’re famous, clean up your fucking room - I’m not your maid and I’m not hiring one.”

MONTREAL — A crimson tide engulfed a patch of Montreal Saturday at the city’s first-ever gathering of the redheads.

The event was organized on Facebook by a ginger-headed Montrealer who wanted to foster a greater sense of community among those who shared her hair colour.

It attracted hundreds of enthusiastic participants from all over the province, ranging in age from toddlers to seniors.

Let’s face it, when you see a lot of hipsters walking around these days, you know they secretly owe a sartorial debt of gratitude to Matt Damon in “The Talented Mr. Ripley”.

NBA center Jason Collins has announced himself as the first ever openly gay male athlete actively playing in a professional U.S. sports league — news that is receiving much fanfare, but also some criticism from observers who say this isn’t quite precedent setting.

“I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation,” wrote the 12-year-league veteran in a Sports Illustrated article published online Monday morning.

“I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, ‘I’m different.’ If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand.”
