Top 10 Hottest Celeb Tattoos: #2 Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes "Memorial" Yes, indeed. Lisa Lopes appears on the UC again in only a matter of days. I don't know how Brittany and I both connected the same brain waves, but no matter what, she's is the #2 spot on the Hottest Celeb Tattoos countdown for "Patton's" Cross and Heart. It is an emotional and tragic ink piece, and just the symbol of it reveals the sadness. Furthermore, it is furthered into tragedy because of Left Eye is now no longer with us either. The Memorial tattoo is of course one of both personal value, and also a major way to show respect for someone you love. It is just a reminder for both you and all the world that the one you love is not so far away after all.  Questions for You: Who will be #1? 

Priscilla Crockett is one "self taught" artist. Her story is a little bit of an unique one: "When I was in high school I wanted to take art classes & my parents made me drop it for Spanish," she explained to the UC via email. "I left town that day, ended up in Oregon & raised three kids there. Now the youngest is 14. A few months ago I decided it's time I live my own authentic life, so I sold everything I owned and moved to NYC to make my art career happen. ..Sink or swim and I don't intend to sink!" A big move, a bold move, but a needed move.   "I have so many different styles and techniques and I attribute that to the absence of professional training." she goes on. "I have been told that organized art schools would have narrowed my creativity & essentially 'ruined' me. My motto is "Imagine outside the box!"    I am getting lazy, so Ima let Ms. Crockett do the talking from now on: "So, wha...

SARAH PALIN'S ALASKA by Henrik Ibsen Sarah: Hi y'all! Welcome to the 50 th state! Alaaaaaaska , which I have called home since I crawled up here from somewhere in the American Northwest and which has been the property of the United States since we bought it from the Ruskies for a Big Mac. * Powerpoint presentation of Alaska ensues* Sarah: I'm Sarah Palin and I should be vice president! Look at my fleece coat! I bought this at LL Bean with some of your tax money! Then I bought a Big Mac, but it was made of wolves. ho ho ho Sarah: Let's take a look at my house! Come on! *leads around her mansion, which apparently overlooks Moscow* Sarah: *pointing at a water bed* And that's where the magic happens. Or Trig, in my case. ho ho ho! *Todd drives up on a snowmobile* Todd: Hey baby, I just got back from seal hunting and reading the constitution. Sarah: I love that LL Bean fleece you're wearing. Todd: Thanks. *they make out (imagine THIS )* Sarah: Well, see here f...

First of all, let's get this out of the way, because I know every single person who sees this is going to want to hear it: Now to the gold mine. Apparently, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes has a solo album that was released on Artista Records for sale in other countries and illegal download in the U.S. Seriously, the album was not released in the U.S. I'm listening to it right now. Here are some choyce cuts: If you want to hear her rapping like DMX, do a search for "I Belive in Me." All of this is from before she was murdered by the KGB. Secondly, you may not have realized that Chilli is a goddess. I have nothing to add about T-Boz right now, but if you stick around for the rest of my life, I might reference her in some context at some point, if only implicitly as part of a collective noun like "TLC," or "all girls." P.S.S. My "JAMS" post is on the side. Don't read it, but listen to the jams.
