A Glimpse Into the Future














The first thought that comes to mind is what we'll look like thousands of years into the future. The images of our ancestors reveal the evolution of our physical being, from our bristly beginnings that would have Chewbacca green with envy, to our current epilating culture that shuns our hairy past. Now, will we shed most of our protective hair, leaving us with just a trace of downy strands like a newborn?  Or will we still have a foothold into our genetic past, the body still covered with a dense layer of hair that would make Robin Williams say, "Damn, that's furry." Will we have enough hair so it can be arranged  into an array of styles that reflect the times, perhaps a cosmic comb over?


What will it be? Something like these two blokes who've retained their hirsute past, or a smooth   Now, with these guys eyebrows, I'm thinking a little too heavy on the volumizer.

Holy Pigmentation, Batman
















The axiom that truth is stranger than fiction is certainly applicable when considering the case of Patricia Krentcil (left) who was recently charged with child endangerment after allegedly taking her 5-year-old tanning which resulted in burns. Her leathery face, bronzed to the likeness of a museum exhibit, immediately prompted the image of Magda, the neighbor from "There's Something About Mary."  I thought that character was too extreme to hold any currency in the real world, but she actually pales in comparison to Ms. Krentcil whose affinity for the tanning booth borders on a personality disorder. I'm guessing she logs like 100 hours a week under those lights. Running around looking like a minstrel singer is puzzling to say the least. Maybe she believes it's just a healthy glow, but her need to keep subjecting her skin to that harsh, damaging light reflects something amiss, a genetic mutation impeding common sense. I've seen corpses with better skin. Wouldn't you think someone at the tanning place would have cut her off, like a drunk at a bar who's had too many? Seriously, even the cast from Jersey Shore are saying WTF.
