Don't you wish...
So I missed out on seeing the nude cyclists on Saturday. Yeah you heard me. About 100 men and women completely in the buff cycled down one of the busiest streets in Toronto, for the World Naked Bike Ride, which is "a celebration of cycling, a protest against car culture, a comment on pollution, or just to express some exhibitionist tendencies."
Aren't you glad the photo was G-rated?? ;)
Because I'm tasteful (ha!), here's another:
Have to say it sounds damn uncomfortable! A friend of mine was outside the ROM when they went by and she said she'd never seen so many piercings in weird places! She said there were only a few women and some had sheepskin on the seats - that's a good idea!

My sister Renée is just about home after her trip to Paris for a figure skating competition, after being detained at the airport in Paris and searched after being accused of stealing another woman's earrings! She missed her flight, though luckily didn't lose too much money, and took an Emirates flight through Dubai and Singapore to get back.
The woman found her earrings.
Isn't that crazy? And scary. Poor Nee. Just glad she's okay and didn't get formally arrested or anything! Though apparently she has to complain because they keep these kinds of things on file in France. Would probably come up if she tried to go to the US too! Who knows.
Now she has to be home quarantined for a week because of the swine flu. It's funny, I heard it's quite severe in Canada and yet everyone's stopped talking about it pretty much - I guess because it hasn't touched our lives. It's just interesting to hear the measures Australia has gone to.

Apparently a few women experience orgasms while giving birth. Shame they can't bottle that.

We watched New in Town on the weekend. We wanted to watch something fun but there's bugger all out, so we settled for a movie we could make fun of. Harry Connick Jr. looks so much better with a beard! It's set in one of those northern states, which is it, Minnesota? that borders Canada, and it was hilarious because that accent that they make fun of Canadians for having, they had too! Thickly put on, though.
Oh and it was filmed in Winnipeg. Seems like most American movies are filmed somewhere in Canada.
Pretty bad movie, but we did have fun taking the piss out of it.
