so I feel with you - after I've stopped laughing about your comments :)

Alicia looks hot in that dress - not that she doesn't look hot in anything else she wears...

I was kinda perplexed as well to hear about the concert, I thought it would be a ceremony and speeches and that that would be it. but I guess people who make the world a better place want to be entertained sometimes as well. and they probably deserved performances by melissa, annie and alicia

How i always love love LOVE your posts, they are my fav :D. And you did it again, i totally get what your saying! And "Booty bump for peace y'all" that has to be one of the funniest lines EVER!! Now to just figure out what the whole point of the concert is.......

I think the concert is to promote Peace as a sexy commodity. I mean, let's face it. Peace just isn't sexy - and sex sells! now, add in some Alicia Keys bootay while playing a piano - Peace suddenly becomes more and more appealing.  

The people who are actually working toward and promoting the peace - the Al Gore's, the Kofi Annan's ... would *you* do them? I mean, you know, if we were straight, or they were women ... but no, not really (in either case). So send in Kylie Minogue, with Uma for eye-candy dessert, and voila! Suddenly the average Joe is going to stand up and listen! and think, "wow ... Peace must be cool."

The Annie Lennox's and the Melissa Etheridge's are their for depth and meaning ... you know, to give the "message" some "validity" ... which in this instance is really just fluff and contextual window dressing for (what is it, kids?) the sex.

Am I right, or am I right?

 

I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in
I hope, and I pray, for a Hester to win just one more "A"

At least it's more entertaining then the "other" Nobel prize dinner in Stockholm that they broadcast live here in Sweden. I'll take Kylie and Alicia in hot dresses over watching a room full of old people in gowns and tuxedos eat any day!

Hey if world peace means getting several hot a talented women into one place at the same time...I reallly dont mind :)

And just in passing...I'm really loving Kylie at the moment...luv her new song!

"Oh my god I love your bins, they're so random"

Kylie = HOT

She looks amazing!

I want my own little Kylie! That would be awesome...

Totally appropriate I think, for the Nobel Peace Concert:

and btw, I hardly recognize KT Tunstall. I can't stand the way she's been glossied out and gone all "feminine" since making it big. I liked her in her down to earth style before.

 

I wonder who they had perform at the Ig Nobel awards (it was in October at Harvard). I haven't paid that much attention to what they've been doing at the Iggies since 2003 when that dude won in the biology category for documenting homosexual necrophilia in mallards. That just seemed unbeatable to me, hence the waning of my interest.

In my mind french fries are a vehicle for salt. Now stick with me here. I know it's late and bone crushing cold has permeated my brain. But using that semi-logic, peace is a vehicle for cool women. Makes sense to me.

Because no stars, no viewers. That's basically why..
Don't get me wrong, i love music, and i want world peace for sure. But it's sad that a subject as the Nobel peace prize (and world hunger and aids and saving the planet) needs to be promoted by celebrities.
Like they're saying, 'you probably wouldn't care otherwise'. And worst of all, they're probably right...

 

 

 

I just have to say, that in my mind there is nothing natural about chocolate and peanut butter.

I would go as far as to say that the combination is very very unnatural, if not just plain WRONG. 

I really like the flow of your blog. I totally enjoyed it.

Wow, I think I really like much peace now. =)
