I'm sort of torn on this whole Klum as Kali deal. The Hindu part of me initially was unimpressed, but the part of me that is disenfranchised with religion thinks people need to calm down.

This same reaction happened to an artist who also did up a Kali costume that was strikingly similar to Klum's a year or so ago, down to the coloration and everything.

Is this two different books, or a reprint of the original? I want to give your book for a xmas present. I don't suppose anyone sells it in the US yet?

Thanks!

Aw! No, there's just one book--the "CUT!" thing is the paperback version of the original book, I have no idea what the deal with the title change was. The content should be exactly the same. And sadly, no distribution the U.S. yet.

I've seen a few episodes of "Pushing Daisies." I haven't yet reached a verdict. (I mean, I definitely LIKE it, but I'm not yet sure if I can LOVE it.)

But I agree that it's visually stunning. It has some of the best network t.v. photography since "The X Files."

How 007 Barely Avoided a Paul Haggis-Sired 'Bond Baby'

Thank GOD that idea was shot down. What, is Hollywood so completely out of ideas that they now have to resort to bad fanfiction?

Those costumes were... uninspired, I mean, you can't really make a costume per se out of something someone would wear to look like everyone else. Except for bruised Bella, complete with feathers in her hair! The rape imagery of that will never fade from my scarred brain.

Oh God! What is it with the Russell Brand fans?? They're everywhere! And now they want to put him in one of my favourite movie franchises??

Can I just say a great big huge "DO NOT WANT!" to that? Seriously Disney what is wrong with you?

Also someone actually has a petition going for him to be the next Doctor.

HELL NO.

We...enjoy his work and want to see him in other projects like most fans? *shrug*

I'm behind the PotC thing. He hasn't got a shot in hell of being the Doctor and I wouldn't want him to be, but it's an amusing thought nevertheless.

I have to admit that Heidi Klum's costume is amazing. That woman has serious cajones to actually paint herself blue. I'm all for respecting other religions, but Hindus have to remember that not everyone thinks their gods and goddesses are more than mythology, unfortunately. I think I'd be more concerned if she was *actually* a hindu.
