Linda Bergkvist and her cat Azrael have a website full of New Age-y kind o’ stuff, but I’ll forgive them because it’s really well-designed and together they come up with pictures like this.

“Mignon”, by William Bouguereau (1825-1905).

Fred Ross, the huffing and puffing iron lung of the Art Renewal Centre, insists that (a) abstract art is not abstract and defintely not art, and (b) Michelangelo and Ross’ main go-to guy William Bouguereau were great abstract artists. He shall explain in his own words, excerpted from his voluptuous website.

“Mignon”, above, by the way, was no mere filet. She was owned by Andy Warhol until his death. And Dali had a Bouguereau in his collection too. No studies have been done, to my knowledge, on possible links between owning a Bouguereau and dying. See the rest.

You are in my power! No, really, you are. Bark like a dog! Come on, just once?

My dinner with Carlos (Castaneda) … (Not really the title.)

Cameras, huh? I’m lucky to get my kids standing still long enough for a blur-free snapshot. Alessandro Bavari manages, through various recitations of studio alchemy, to come up with images that would give Heironymous Bosch the shakes. Above, “Four green lizards going to suck milk from a young mother”, as if you didn’t guess that much. Go see more at the Italian photographer’s website. There’s another picture to see. See the rest.

AnagramGenius.com, which sells its anagram-generator software but will let you test-drive it for a month for free and only bug you nicely about paying, is where the world found out that if you switch the letters of “Lady Diana Spencer” around, you get “Say! Landed a prince!” Well, we all know how that ended up, so we can only offer our best wishes to Margaret “That great charmer” Thatcher and Tony “Tory in Lab” Blair.
Wait, “Tory in Lab”? Yes, and there must be something psychic in it, because if to anagramise “Prime Minister Tony Blair” you get “I’m Britain’s Tory peril, men!”
Saddam Hussein is “UN’s said he’s mad”. Camilla Parker Bowles is (blush) “I’m Palace balls worker”.
And Dali House the Blog becomes “To high-souled able”. That’s us.
