Coffee Shop Belted Wool Coat COUTURE IN THE CITY (read full article)

Bust out your vintage Burberry everyone…plaid is hot like a toaster! Tartan looks are popping ...

This article in variety suggests that not only is breaking in hard to do, but that to do it you need, among several other things, a champion. I’ve heard this term used before and yes, I know it doesn’t necessarily mean an agent. Still, it puzzles me.

What am I looking for? (cut Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For a Hero) Surely not a knight in shimmering armor and fire in his eyes, atop a lofty steed, and waving my screenplay at the end of his lance?

Are we talking about a professional screenwriter willing to pause in his busy career to promote mine? A janitor willing to sneak my scripts into the reading material basket next to Steven Spielberg’s toilet? Somebody who straps road flares to his chest until an auto parts mogul agrees to buy my brake pads?

The effort and the skill with which you show
How well inspiring are your gifts of grace
Displayed for all the truth of what I know:
“There lies a noble heart, mind, soul and face.”
With skill and courtesy you took the field
Prepared for challenge from the very best.
With honor well contended, win or yield
You shared chivalric glory with the rest.
The real challenge lay not with the foe
But in the hazards brought by thy own tests.
“Surpass yourself” is guidance writ in gold.
Its victory brings prize of answered quests.
My Champion, how well you fought for me.
Now must I strive for worth, to worthy be.

Perhaps I’ll hold off on the champion thing until, as the poem suggests, I know that I am worthy.

We Need More April Scott

April Scott, a new source of fuel, and Laughing Yoga lessons. These are all things we desperately need more of. In that order. We’ll be getting a dose of April in the upcoming Dukes of Hazzard prequel movie, but I don't think that will be enough. No, we need more pictures like these of the adorable April and her magnificent breasts. God love her for wanting to share them with the world. Although, you would ...

Britney Spears Divorce Present… Breasts?

Britney Spears seems to have this comeback thingy of hers down to a simple 3-step plan:

Step 1: Drop excess body weight.
Step 2: Drop excess dead weight otherwise known as K-Fed.
Step 3: Get breast implants.

Yep, it looks like Britney's bought herself a couple of brand new divorce presents, and she's been showing them off like crazy lately. Now before you go running to tell all your little friends that Britney's breasts are fake just because Hollywood Tuna ...

The Kristin Cavallari Show

Laguna Beach babe Kristin Cavallari is back at doing what she does best, showing off her legs at premieres. Actually, other than appearing on Laguna Beach, showing off her legs at events is all she really does. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Quite the opposite actually.

Here's our favourite "Leg Girl" at the Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny premiere. I've also added a bonus pick of another body part Kristin has started to show off as well. I ...

Is Tara Reid Making A Comeback?

I had to do a double take when I first saw these pictures of Tara Reid at "The Fountain" premiere because for once she's looking pretty damn good. Now maybe my eyes are deceiving me but it appears that Tara's blood alcohol content is well below the legal limit. That or she's become totally immune to booze that we can't tell anymore. In any case, this makeover will definitely turn some heads and perhaps now people will focus ...

Britney Spears Porn Video Up For Highest Bidder?

Britney Spears may have a sex video floating around and many are speculating that soon to be ex-hubby Kevin Federline is willing to sell it. One report is claiming that the Kevin Federline has been touting the four-hour tape for sale and has already been offered and the report claims that Fed-Ex has been offered nearly $50 million for the marathon video.

I can understand why now more than ever, Britney Spears would resort to wearing ...

Paris Hilton Shows Ass!

You know it's a slow gossip day when Paris Hilton's ass makes its way onto Hollywood Tuna. I know it's not breaking news but for this one time, let's pretend it is (because hey, pretending is fun right?). With that said, spread the word folks! This is a World Wide Exclusive: Paris Hilton is wearing panties!

El Palmar: Restaurant Review

www.flickr.com

I just finished writing an article about chocolate. Having a house filled with chocolate to sample can really improve your disposition. But there is another cuisine that has this effect on me and I don’t know of any science to explain the phenomenon. It’s Mexican food.

I long for, savor, and even dream about Mexican food. I can’t tell you why. I just do. Finding a place that serves great Mexican food is like finding a slice of heaven. I just want to go back again and again and again. That’s why I head to the opposite end of town to Pastores. And that’s why, when I find myself in Marin, I go to El Palmar.

El Palmar is nothing exciting to look at, it’s all about the food. As the take out menu from the restaurant proclaims “The real Mexican food in Marin County”. There is also a sister restaurant of the same name in Novato. The patrons are almost all Latino and so are the staff. Blink and you might feel like you are somewhere across the border. The prices are cheap and the menu is fairly large, much larger than the average taqueria. There are Mexican breakfast specialties like machaca, huevos rancheros and chilaquiles, then there are tacos and burritos, platters with grilled chicken, fajitas and steak, no fewer than six different kinds of soups which seem popular on a Sunday afternoon and there are antojitos and even a selection of seafood.

On Sunday when I was there last, someone had ordered the whole fried snapper and it looked great. It is about the most expensive thing on the menu and costs $9.99. Many of the seafood preparations like mojo de ajo (cooked with garlic) and the Campechana (shrimp and oysters) remind me of my last trip to the Yucatan. While I’d love to try them, I don’t know if I will ever be able order anything other than the antojitos.They taste like Mexico to me. I love the sopes, a chewy tender and yet crispy thick masa cake topped with creamy refried pinto beans, tomatoes, lettuce, crumbly cheese, and chunks of chicken, or any other topping you want. Gordito comes from the word gordo which means “fat”. Like a fat stuffed sope, it has a roof on top of another layer of crisp crunchy masa like a fried tortilla. Anyone who has been to Mexico knows, huarache means sandal, and this whopping footprint sized antojitos is more than enough for a meal and costs only $6.

Order at the window and take a number. You’ll get a peak at what’s going on in the kitchen at the same time. A big basket of freshly made tortilla chips and a bar with fresh homemade salsas will keep your occupied until your order arrives and then, dig in! Mexican food nirvana awaits you.
