Lulu performing "The Boat That I Row" on Beat Club, introducing what would soon become The Shirley Partridge Look.  I'd love to wear crushed velvet with lace ruffle trim too.  But that's just me.

I thought that was Jerry Seinfeld's pirate shirt.

But the hair is vintage Dusty Springfield, no?

Mark, this is especially for you, since you're the most trivia-curious person I know (and that really is a compliment from me), but all of you may dig this: The blog of Ken Jennings, the all-time Jeopardy champ.  He's quite an engaging guy, actually.  And he's selling a giant foam head with his likeness.

For a devout Mormon.

Wait... the dog from Frazier died????  Now THAT's news, dammit!  Why is his blog the only place I've seen that?

Tim Goodman has already written extensively about how godawful most of the Emmy nominations are, but -- in a cool surprise -- they nominated the South Park ep about Scientology for Best Animated Program:

Straights in P-Town complain about being "oppressed":

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2006/07/26/national/a114741D30.DTL

This reminded me of the piece the Daily Show did last week about a straight couple with 2 kids who bought a house in the Castro and were shocked -- shocked, I tell ya! -- to see men holding hands.

I'd never heard of the Compton's Cafeteria Riot -- the SF precursor to the Stonewall Riot by three years -- until this weekend:

I was unaware of it until just recently. Saw a docu earlier this year on KQED.

"The Man From C.A.M.P.": The folks at WFMU give us "I'd Rather Fight Than Swish" and many, many more.
