Last work day at Nansensgade

So, as the title suggests, Allan had his last work day at the old shop today, and i doubt that another tattoo will ever be made at that address.
At least i'm hoping that won't happen!
I've been packing most of the day and while it's a little weird to look at the bare walls and think "i painted that line" or take down a bunch of shelves i put up, i am not really feeling sentimental at all.
This has been a long time coming, particularly if you count the years we've been dreaming about moving, and we're so ready to start our new lives at the new shop.
Which is still not finished, but let's not get into that!

I wonder how we ever managed to fit this much crap into our tiny little shop?
Slowly getting there...
Bye bye

Moving day is this saturday, i hope it goes smoothly.

Ps, This is our 100th post on the shop blog, hurray for that!

I'll be back soon!!!!!

Coming back in March. My apologies. I don't want to let blogs lapse, but I was busy with a new book. Will be back soon with several interviews and great celebrity charity news!

OH YVETTE...

Saturday afternoon at my grandparents house, circa 1985, big old black and white TV, H. G. Wells' The Time Machine was on.....and there she was, in all her glorious beauty, my first crush, Yvette Mimieux or Weena, as I remember her.
Now I wish that 'the machine' existed, I would go back in time and steal you from Rod Taylor's arms.

Prince William (for the millionth time)

Just last month Prince William did a photo shoot for Hello! magazine in England. Here's the cover shot:





Hmmm, there's an awful lot of hair on top of his head. Wonder who it belongs to. Because it certainly does not all belong to William:

Jon Cryer




Thanks to reader JFRK for this tip. Jon Cryer is supposed one man of the Two and a Half Men. When I've had the misfortune of catching this show on tv I've often wondered to myself how they calculated two and a half men because Jon Cryer's character is half a man at best. That plus the kid and Charlie Sheen just cannot equal Two and a Half Men. Unless their definition of "men" is a bit more lax than mine.

One thing is for sure, a real man wouldn't hide behind a toupee. Here is Jon Cryer in a recent episode of Two and a Half Men (air date January 11, 2010):





And here he is February 1, 2010





And another picture sans toupee:





That's what happens when you do seven seasons of a show with Charlie Sheen.


THE LOST ART OF THE FILM "INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS" BENEFIT


Travis Barker at The Fast Life ( Video by ChinkyeyedLA)

Oh hi there!

So, it's been a while, huh?
Sorry about that, some of us are a bit sick, and we're all a bit preoccupied these days.

Today me and Allan went by the new shop to see how everything is progressing.
It's... going... it's happening... stuff is being done, that's for sure.
But i still can't believe we have to move in a few weeks!

The floor that looked like this the last time i was there, is now... gone
Maybe we should keep it like this, or turn it into a moat or something?
Toilet is gone too, but at least they bought us a new one
Debris
Samples
I approve of this!
This is apparently a giraffe?
These creepy little things were lying around the shop... matches the dream-catcher left by the previous tenants, i guess

The painters started painting today (no, that's not as obvious as it sounds, there was lots of work for them to do before they could even start painting!) so hopefully things are gonna start looking good soon.
More updates next week!

Prince!

Ladies and gentlemen for your consideration, I present to you the artist known now as Prince, former known as Prince and formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince.


Here are some photos of Prince leaving the Dorchester Hotel on his way to a North London recording studio four years ago (2/13/06). You decide if he is actually balding, just has damaged hair due to extensions, dying and other hair damage, or if he still has a full head of hair:

I found these on a Prince message board (source above) and one of the follow-up comments really cracked me up. The person wrote "Why is he acting like he really has to duck to get into that car?" So true! (and hilarious)

More Rob Schneider!

Thanks to reader E.K. for finding these pictures of Rob Schneider without his toupee:








Chris Daughtry of Daughtry

Usually this former American Idol contestant and lead singer of his band Daughtry has a completely shaved head. We all knew why he shaves his head, even if he didn't want to admit it. But just yesterday he took this picture with Carrie Underwood, showing his true hair line. And guess what? He's still looking pretty good. See Chris, all those years of hiding the truth were wasted.





Richard Hatch

Richard Hatch is a celebrity unlike any other celebrity I have profiled here. He became famous as the $1,000,000 grand prize winner of the first installment of the hit reality show, Survivor back in 2000. He went from parading around discussing his Survivor victory and hosting a $300k+ radio show host gig after Survivor to serving a prison sentence for tax evasion and spouting conspiracy

Matt Tiabbi

Thanks to reader Dave H. for this one. Matt Tiabbi is a columnist at Rolling Stone. He is best known for his coverage of the 2004 US presidential election, and for his former editorial positions at newspapers the eXile, the New York Press, and the Beast. You may have seen Taibbi on Real Time with Bill Maher. Most recently, Tiabbi has attracted attention for his criticism of Goldman Sachs, whom he accuses of helping engineer "every major market manipulation since the Great Depression."

Accusing Goldman Sachs of such things is one way of getting attention. Another is denying that your hair is falling out and trying to hide it in the most ridiculous ways possible:








Matt: you are a good looking guy without hair. So let what little you have go.
