Blonde-Redhead Muslim Woman Sues Bar Over (Conservative) Red Dress

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 21:41:00 GMT

It took everything in our being not to make Fata Lemes our Crush of the Week. She is without a doubt a perfect female specimen: reddish-blond hair, beautiful, European, classy, and unwavering in her convictions.

Of course, we refrained from insulting her in this fashion because her existence came to our attention because she is suing a Mayfair, U.K. establishment for making her way a rather conservative piece of attire, which she claims insults her religion and amounts to sexual harassment. Oh, and it didn't help that the customers regularly propositioned her with money-for-sex offers, an arrangement which the management may have been in on...

Here's the dress ~~the Love Of Our Lives~~ Ms. Lemes refused to wear:

Hardly revealing... unless, of course, you're a religious person, as Ms. Lemes certainly is. Lemes is a Muslim and, oddly enough, the owners saw no warning signs ahead in hiring such a conservative person for their admittedly "upscale Hooters" joint. Now they're about to be out 20,000 pounds plus lawyer's fees, assuming Lemes wins her lawsuit against them.

She chose a loose-fitting black shirt and trousers but said that on her second shift she was approached by two customers who told her they were looking for 'a blonde Scandinavian or Swedish girl for one or more nights'.
She said: 'It was obvious that they thought that I was Scandinavian. I politely refused the offer.

'I was offended by that offer. I considered the company must be indicating to guests that the bar was the type of bar where they could make sexual offers to staff.' [We didn't realize there were bars where customers didn't make passes at staff members, but okay...]

A few days later she was ordered to wear the red dress. [Daily Mail]

New Gemma Arterton Sex Scene Steams Us Up For Bond 22

Brian Fairbanks — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:41:00 GMT

Gemma Arterton may not be the sexiest but she is inarguably the cutest Bond Girl ever cast. We were already dying to see Bond 22 (aka "Quantum of Solace"-- ugh, come on, what is it, directed by George Lucas?) without her involvement and now, with her casting and the following screencaps and sex scene clip from her latest film, we're positively foaming at the mouth...

Exclusive full-length version of the scene below. If that's down for any reason, you can watch another, lower-quality version here.

Above is a screenshot from the minute-long sex fest. Here's Gemma in bed with that dude from the BBC version of The Office, who is the luckiest nebbish alive:

The hell with that... back to the sex scene.

Scanner Highs And Lows: Michael Phelps Rules The Blog

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 21:55:00 GMT

We held onto the Olympics for dear life, we'll admit, but after this last look back at the week's highlights, it may be time to say adios...

...until next week, when more nude Olympians are sure to grace us with their leaked online photos... or maybe Republicans are caught with strippers...

HIGHS:

...since Democrats don't seem to enjoy them.

We have to hand it to John McCain for making it an historic election now, no matter who wins.

Enough about McCain, here's to a true hero: Michael Phelps, who is now spending his days giving kids swimming lessons, apparently.

Matthew McConaughey's mom is kind of a sexual hero, in a way. Really.

We're proud to have had a transgender Crush of the Week, although we're pretty sure she won't go out with us no matter how much we kiss her ass.

Eva Longoria Circa A Few Years Ago is kind of our runner-up Crush of the Week.

LOWS:

This post would've been called Last of the Nude Olympians... if they were actually Olympians.

Hopefully, Olympians won't have to stoop to making straight-to-DVD sex movies. Blurry sex tapes will do just fine, thanks.

If you were wondering why we enjoy photos of women athletes who have bodies like rocks (of Gibraltar), a reminder of a possible alternative.

So we've established Ms. Marsh is not among the sexy people... are you?

Seriously, we do wish Mulder luck in rehab, despite what you may think.

This guy is world's worst liar.

Something we can all argue about civilly: this show may or may not be terrible.

Speaking of lying, somebody lied to us when they said Toy Story was animated, damn it.

Girl Crush of the Day: Dolly Parton

Emily Farris — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:36:00 GMT

We have always loved Dolly Parton. It might be because she seems to not give a fuck what other people think. There are so, so many reasons to love her, but here are just a few...

1) "Islands in the Stream," her duet with Kenny Rogers

2) "Jolene"

3) "Nine to Five"

4) The fact that she takes pride in who she is even though she is fully aware of the fact that it may be perceived as trashy (she has said she modeled her look after the town floozy)

5) The fact that she wants to launch a make-up line for other women who want to take pride in their trashiness

Girl Crush of the Day: Chrissie Hynde

Emily Farris — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:49:00 GMT

(Are we allowed to do that? Well, we're doing it anyway.)

And no, it's not because she's wearing a PETA shirt; everybody knows we refuse to sleep with vegetarians.*

Being an aging female rocker can't be easy [blegh, sic], but Chrissie Hynde is pulling it off. "I'm just trudging along, you know. I wash every day, I've got my own teeth, and I don't dye my hair. I must be doing something right, as I've only canceled two shows in 30 years: once when the doctor said I would have a miscarriage, and once when he told me my eardrums would explode if I did the gig," the Pretenders star, 56, tells Britain's Guardian.

Chrissie, we want to be just like you when we grow up.
