If you like these ol' dancers here's what you get when you search for Al Minns and Leon James on YouTube (you can find more) - some with the great original jazz music and some with more or less good mixes with modern music.

Music: Birgit Lystager, part II

A couple of years ago I recommended an out-of-print album rip with singer Birgit Lystager - "a Danish cross between Astrud Gilberto and Karen Carpenter with really artily written and composed pop songs...".

That album is of course no longer available - however - Ponytone let's us listen to a number of Birgit Lystager songs from the years 1967-1983. Let's go.

Photo: 29 Nude Pictures of Jane Birkin

29 Nude Pictures of Jane Birkin at the new Bedazzled! spin-off blog Bedazzled Blue. Need I say the photos are nice but NSFW?? I'm so sorry but that blog is no longer active. I don't want to link to a porn site but finding nudes of the gorgeous Jane Birkin is not difficult. Just keep searching, or stay for a while on this blog.








The picture to the left has sadly enough been cropped ;)

Awards: Bibi is nominated in the '08 Bloggies






As I understand it there are quite a lot of Weblog Awards held and probably The Bloggies are one of the biggest. I'm not sure. Anyway, it is time for The 8th Annual Weblog Awards - the 2008 Bloggies. I don't really read a lot of blogs so I don't really care. However, I just had to vote for my favorite Bibi's Box which is nominated in the Best Latin American Weblog section. If I didn't vote Bibi would hate me and stick needles in her voodoo doll. Maybe you had better vote too?!
