#NATIONALPUPPYDAY: PUPPIES ARE THE CUTEST, BUT WHAT'S THE CUTEST BREED OF PUP...?

The Brussels Griffon. Hands down. All puppies are cute but take a look at this breed which I am in love with. The world knows it from the movie, As Good As It Gets, where Verdell nearly steals the movie from Jack Nicholson. And I hear that George Lucas had the breed when making Star Wars, so Chewbacca as well as the Ewoks were modeled on their cute faces which were originally bred to have human-ish features. Yes, I am partial to them as I have shared one VERY cute guy with my ex for the past 11 years. The last pic is Lamonte at 8 weeks and on his 11th birthday this January. I know. That FACE. Happy Puppy Day!

IS TARGET REALLY SELLING "STAR WARS" DILDOS?

For Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Disney’s marketing team must have really looked at every sort of merch out possible. There were Star Wars oranges, makeup –even CROCS! 

Well, a woman in Indiana was shopping at Target when she came across what looked just like Star Wars dildos. They are SUPPOSED to be pool toys. She joked about it on Facebookand her post was picked up all over and Target had to release a statement telling everyone what they were really looking at it:

“Occasionally, we carry merchandise that some guests may find objectionable, as was your experience. We never want to offend anyone and have shared this with our Merchandise team for review.”

OK. But if you decide to make real ones for the next film, might I suggest starting with Adam Driver. The Kylo Ren-do!

GET DOWN WITH DISCO "STAR WARS" + OTHER GALACTIC FUNK!

Haven't had quite enough Star Wars lately? Are you making dinner or cleaning the house? Maybe wrapping presents or decorating the tree? (Probably at work.) Anyway, who needs traditional Christmas music? (OK, throw in some Mariah…) But why not try out Meco’s disco hit, Star Wars. It’s billed as THE most successful instrumental single ever. I remember it from my youth. Do you? Listen.

STORMTROOPERS ARE EVERWHERE IN JORGE PEREZ HIGUERA'S PHOTOS

Star Wars really is EVERYWHERE lately. I like SOME fan art but some of it really transcends the fan part and is really Art with a capitol "A". Case in point, Jorge Perez Higuera, photo series The Other Side. Higuera is a photographer that has spent a fair amount of time staging everyday scenes with masses of Stormtroopers. His take on the series;

“The Other Side represents the routine of diverse individuals in order to manifest the importance of daily routine by decontextualizing a fictional character and showing its adaptation to our world.”

That’s how you know it “Art”, and not just funny pictures, kids. Seriously, I love these. For more of Higuera’s work go here.

HOT GUYS HOLDING BB8

I’m seeing the movie this afternoon, but even without knowing the plot, I can tell the scale is off with some of these pics. Like it matters. Any excuse to see HOT GUYS plus ________ (fill in the blank.) This Tumblr is called… guess what? HOT GUYS HOLDING BB8. Do I need to tell you their names? Do you care?

IF STAR WARS COLLIDED WITH THE REAL WORLD

These "collisions" are very subtle, so you have to look kinda closely. My fave is Darth Vader on a bus... (click photo to see gallery)
