Swifty Deeds' Swan Song at the Crack Fox. Swifty (pictured; no moustache) is going off to clown college in California, so a roast was organized to send him off in style (and raise some money for the trip). The main instigator of this event being Mimi Le Yu (pictured; moustache), his lovely girlfriend.
Well, she was his lovely girlfriend at the start of the evening. As of the last act, she was his fiancee. HOLY SHIT THEY TOTALLY GOT ENGAGED ON STAGE. She proposed with an elaborate act involving several other performers, glitter, big red fake noses, and a candy ring. It was super romantic and sweet. Everyone cried. I would've cried if I hadn't been in photographer mode and immune to emotions other than rage at poor lighting and people getting in the way of my shot.

Taylor gave all the media plenty of time to captures the images they needed and wanted.

It's only been fairly recently i've actually used both the Lamley Group and Swiftys Garage diecast websites and so the whole Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt phenomenan is pretty new to me. Living in the U.K. we don't tend to be high on Mattels priority for anything other than Mainline stuff. I've never ever searched for a Treasure Hunt model though some fellow Flikr friends have spotted the odd one in my collection.
Thanks to our discount stores importing U.S. stock over here, in theory finding a Treasure Hunt should be a bit easier. Imagine my surprise this week at finding this 1976 Chevrolet Corvette Greenwood in my local Poundland right at the front of a peg. I can't say its one of my favourite Hot Wheels castings and I shamefully admit I wouldn't have picked it off the pegs if it hadn't had the Treasure Hunt treatment ie. much better wheels!
Mint and boxed.

My first in the series of collages that imagined Mad Men characters lives into the 1970s! Naturally, the fashions got worse and worse! -- and I created this Before we knew that Joan was pregnant with Roger's baby!
Joan’s Rollercoaster
Joan’s life has been a wild ride since ’65. She secretly decided to keep Roger’s baby and conveniently took Harry’s offer to be his chief of public relations, managerial assistant and script reader when he had to move to L.A. only two weeks after her deception. Harry was cool with her pregnancy and promised not to tell. Joan was all set to tell Greg about the baby as soon as he was to come home on leave that Christmas, but alas, just before he came home, Greg sustained severe head injuries and amnesia from shrapnel when a bomb went off at his Vietnamese M*A*S*H unit at China Beach. Unfortunately, the only surgeon available to operate on him was an inept, aging surgeon (a Major Frank Burns), and within hours, a mistake made by Burns developed into an inner ear infection that spread to his brain, causing a brief coma and then death. Joan was devastated, but determined to be the best mother for her baby, and gave birth to little Brian Harris on May 16, 1966. She hired a Nanny and worked all the harder for SCDP West. But working full time, sustaining a ‘happy face’ in the wake of the tragedy was too much for her, she had to get away from advertising, and she asked Harry to let her go. Harry was reluctant but understood, and for the next 2 years she found joy in her son, moved in with her old roommate Carol in New Mexico, and took a job as a waitress at Al’s Diner, making enough to live on between tips and Greg’s pension. One afternoon, famous Hollywood agent Swifty Lazar was stuck in New Mexico when his limo popped a tire to Vegas. Joan’s sassy comments to the customers, and her (still) knock-out looks at 36 won him over completely, and she agreed to be his client; provided Carol could move with her as her nanny/assistant. Carol was happy to follow Joan anywhere. Swifty took her to lots of parties to get her noticed. The jobs, though small, were starting to trickle in. She became the most famous Wonder Woman impersonator at the first Comic-Con in 1970, then a Dolly Parton impersonator in Nashville, where Roger caught her act one night. He admitted he loved her and was wrong to let her go, she told him about Brian, and that he was welcome to visit, but only as a friend. Roger was both surprised and relieved at this, since he still didn’t want responsibility for the boy. Joan sang “I’ll always love you”, but reminded him that that train had passed, and he let her go. Swifty got more jobs for her. She and Carol both got to perform in a Pasadena Playhouse Production of “The Sound of Music”, where she scored rave reviews. Producer Cubby Broccoli was in the audience one night and insisted that she be in his next James bond picture; both Joan and Swifty were delighted, and before long , Joan was off to London to be Jill St. John’s stand–in in “Diamonds are Forever” with Sean Connery. Connery took quite the shine to Ms. Holloway, (she took back her old name for the stage) and before long, she found herself preggers with Connery’s love child. Sean, always the gentleman, offered marriage, but Joan said she’d be happy with a trust fund for the child, who turned out to be another boy, named James Sean Holloway. Now a mother of two, Joan realized that her acting career wasn’t going to go farther than being a sex symbol, and since she didn’t want to end up like Marilyn Monroe, she opted out of her contract, and contacted Harry about SCDP West. Harry was overjoyed to hear from her, for without Joan, SCDP West had collapsed without her expert management, losing contracts left and right, it needed a steady hand. Harry knew that Joan was good idea. Joan agreed to come back, but only if he passed all the reins over to her, and SCDP West was reborn as HOLLOWAY MEDIA AND COPY, Joan got it all, loving sons, (who looked exactly like Ronnie Howard and Billy Mumy) and a million dollar company that succeeds to this day! She set up Carol with Joyce too and they’re very happy, and Joan still has Mister’s Connery and Sterling on her speed dial if needed.

Jimbotfuzz tagged me. Now I'm tagging Minty, Anado Groove, Swifty, and Morris.
1. I am a writer of surrealist poesie and progressive polemics, and I edit my own webzine.
2. I usually need to pee.
3. I really do enjoy stroking my nipples.
4. I teach high school ESOL and English.
5. I speak Spanish fluently, but I never practice, so it's a bit rusty.
6. I have lived in London, England; Sevilla and Granada, Spain; Austin, Seguin, and San Marcos, Texas; Greensboro, North Carolina; and Atlanta, Georgia.
7. My obsession with visual art has its genesis in my youth, when my parents took us to museums and ruins all over Europe and parts of Mexico.
8. I have two pussies that I enjoy massaging on regular basis.
9. I would like to inhabit music. My musical tastes are freakishly eclectic. I enjoy with EQUAL intensity: Metallica, George Strait, Skinny Puppy, Tejano music, Chopin, Cab Calloway, Fado, Lyle Lovett, Joy Division, Buddhist chants, Public Enemy, marching bands, Ravel, campy musical numbers, and that one song by that one boyband.
10. Of course, I feel cosmically melded with a little ol' band called The Cure.
11. With age, all things coalesce. The older I get, the brasher, quirkier, more hedonistic, more passionate, more compassionate, more egocentric, more altruistic, more paradoxical, more politically radical, more mercurial, more loving, more cerebral, more spiritual, more sensual, more erotically charged, more chaotic, more timid, more fierce, more sensitive, more passive, more aggressive, I become. I fucking love my 40s and I believe in taking life by the nipple tips and never letting go.
12. Other jobs/vocations I have considered besides teaching and writing: interior decorator, guitar player, drummer, librarian, paralegal, social worker, Buddhist nun, painter, museum curator, actress, literary agent. Oh, and I worked in marketing, PR, and techinical writing and publishing before becoming a teacher.
13. I like men a whole WHOLE lot. But I love my boyfriend most of all. He's French and fantastic in every fucking way possible. Except when he's moody and cynical. Which is pretty much always. And I still love him even then, because he's funny as FUCK.
14. If I were to be a literary scholar (which I won't because I'm too lazy), I'd focus on French symbolism and surrealism, or Latin American magical realism.
15. I cherish with all my heart and soul the friends I have made through The Cure.
16. Artichokes and red wine make me very horny.
