Rule 5 Sunday: Camille Paglia Approved!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Some weeks, I have to really struggle to come up with an appropriate appetizer for Rule 5 Sunday. Other weeks, ideas just fall into my lap – and so it was this week. I was reading an interview with Camille Paglia in the Free Beacon, and inevitably, they asked her about […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Crash Test Girl

— compiled by Wombat-socho Fans of the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters show are well acquainted with Kari Byron, easily the most attractive member of the show’s “B Team”. The rest of us probably have only heard of the show because it had Kari in it. At any rate, she’s got a book out now, Crash Test […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Bikini Barrel Racing?

— compiled by Wombat-socho Apparently this is a thing, or was for part of a season on A&E a few years ago. Rodeo Girls was a reality show that purported to show the lives of four barrel riders on the pro rodeo circuit, two experienced riders and two novices. One of the pros was Marvel […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Tammie Jo Shults

This week, Ninety Miles From Tyranny has […]

Good on her. More suitable […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Lieutenant Dish

— compiled by Wombat-socho Growing up as an Air force brat, I’ve always been fond of women in uniform, and Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H had plenty of those – Sally Kellerman as chief nurse “Hot Lips” Houlihan, Tamara Horrocks as Capt. “Knocko” McCarthy, but most of all, JoAnn Pflug as Lieutenant Maria “Dish” Schneider, who saves […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Nikki Nicole

— compiled by Wombat-socho One of the ways social media has changed things is that models no longer have to blow a lot of money on having photos taken for portfolios, which they then have to lug around to agencies. Now they can post the pics online, which means that not only can agents more […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Gal Gadot

— compiled by Wombat-socho So earlier this week physicist Stephen hawking died, and Israeli actress/model Gal Gadot tweeted a sympathetic tweet which said in part, “Now you’re free of any physical constraints.” This of course triggered a bunch of dimwitted “disability activists” who dragged her for being an “ableist”. To her credit, Ms. Gadot didn’t […]
