Lady Gaga, like her predecessor Madonna (to whom she pays homage — or is that rips off? — in her latest video), also owes a great deal to the gays. The latest Gaga epic, “Alejandro,” opens on the image of a strapping young officer asleep at his desk wearing fishnet stockings and black pumps, with an AK-47 at arm’s length. The next scene cuts to a fleet of shirtless men in black spanx (though they clearly have no need for them), sporting black bowl cuts, marching in black boots — perhaps realizing conservatives’ nightmare when DADT is repealed? But men in heels and carrying assault rifles aren’t a contradictory image in the context of queer sexuality, fetish and kink. So exactly how queer is Lady Gaga’s new music video? Oh, let us count the ways …CONTINUED.

U.S. Census Bureau: Mother’s Day – May 13, 2012 “The driving force behind Mother’s Day was Anna Jarvis, who organized observances in Grafton, W.Va., and Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. As the annual celebration became popular around the country, Jarvis asked members of Congress to set aside a day to honor mothers. She finally succeeded in 1914, when Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.”

There were 10 million singles mothers living with children younger than 18 in 2011, up from 3.4 million in 1970. – Provided by U.S. Census Bureau

Video on Mother’s Day origins…

A beautifully composed Mother’s Day video shows the origins of this special day. The inspiring four-minute video below features caring mothers from around the world talking about the importance of Mother’s Day and its origins.

To explore the origins of Mother’s Day, we travel back 101 years in time to 1908, where we meet Anna Jarvis, a woman who strangely enough never married nor had children. In a very meaningful way, Mother’s Day was her child.

Midnight Was Movie Hour, Nap Time in New York Air Tower
By Alan Levin

When midnight rolled around and flight traffic thinned out, air-traffic controllers guiding planes in the busiest U.S. corridor whipped out laptops to watch movies, play games or gamble online.

Controllers on break inflated air mattresses and napped on the floor. Some left before their shifts were over. They cursed at managers, refused to train new controllers, and flouted rules requiring them to pass on weather advisories to pilots.

Stacy McCain’s National Offend A Feminist Week rolls on…

Indeed, Miss Mansfield did know and understand the proper role she should be playing away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

After diligent searching through the scarier corners of my mind, I discovered an illustrated pamphlet that she helped prepare as a learning tool to be used by young women to instruct them on the way to take care of their hard-working men over the course of a typical day.  This manual was in tough shape when I found it in a hermetically-sealed mason jar on Funk & Wagnells porch [if you get that reference, you're old], but, through painstaking effort, I have restored it and converted it into HTML format, paying very special and close attention to the pictures included.

Herewith, a brief primer from Miss Jayne Mansfield on…

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MAN

It is very important girls that you awaken before your man does.  And you must give yourself plenty of time to shower, shave if necessary, and put on just enough make-up so you’re presentable to your man.  Make sure you have his orange juice ready for him when he gets up, so that he can enjoy a nice, refreshing libation to start off his day, and be waiting to hand it to him, along with his robe, as he gets out of bed…

Notice that I’m going to greet my man in a very simple outfit that is very ‘Girl-Next-Door’-ish — men like that and they find women in flannel sexy.  But, remember, do put on some make-up, as there is nothing worse than having your man see you without it.

As he washes-up, start making him his favorite breakfast and whistle a happy tune to help him ease into his day…
