Doggie Death Row

This is so random and I never knew there was such a thing, but with a dog of my own that I have had for about four months now, I seem to always bump into doggie news. So this is my new discovery and its pretty straight to the point.

An Lhasa Apso dog from Seattle, Washington, was on doggie death row for 8 years and 190 days. After that extremely long amount of time of being on doggie death row for two biting incidents, the dog, whose name is Word, was transferred to Pigs Peace Sanctuary, Washington, USA.

It sounds like it was a huge waste of time. Plus I doubt that the dog spent those 8 years and 190 days miserable so what was his punishment? In the end he lived, he was just sent somewhere else, oddly placed on land with pigs.

Vanity

We all like to look good, right? Nice clothes, nice hair, neat appearance, an so on-in our own way. But I am sure that we all agree that there are extremes. Most of us dont have the money to get a rhinoplasty or any kind of implant or it could be because we are not that vain. Its okay to want to look good but when is it enough and how far would you go? Well for Angela Bismarchi, she is just getting started.

At her 42nd operation, and at only 36 years of age, Angela shows no signs of stopping. She is so close to beating the record of 52-year-old American Cindy Jackson who currently holds the record for having the most plastic surgery operations, 47 of them!

Let me tell you a little about Angela Bismarchi. She is a Brazilian model who had her first operation after giving birth to her first child at age 21. From there she says that she loved the results and became so fasinated with plastic surgery that her last two husbands were plastic surgeons who operated on her. Now, I am not one to judge because it is her body afterall, but I am sure that her lifestyle has to be effecting her daughter in some negative ways. She has a mother who is obsessed with the way she looks and quotes saying "I always was vain." Her daughter is just going to want to do the same things and might always feel as if she is not fine the way she looks. She might feel that she has to keep making 'improvements'.

Shoes

I'm sure most of you have heard this line:

You can never have too many shoes. Right!?

But this person took that line very literally. I'll admit, I'm a girl and I love shoes too and I am sure that if I did not have people around me, especially my mother, telling me that enough is enough this record would be mine. This lady, I have given her the title of shoe lady, but her real name is Darlene Flynn, and while she may not have only collected shoes that are able to be worn but she owns other types of shoe related items. Most of them are figurine shoes-shoes that can't be worn by her own two feet.

51 year old Flynn says "I don't know why it had to be shoes, I just love them and it kind of got out of control." Darlene Flynn now owns over 7,765 pieces of shoe memorabilia and she lines them up against the wall in her house in a cabinet type thing.

I thought that that was a pretty cool collection to have and share with the rest of you!

Going and going...

Most women want their dream wedding growing up. From the moment little girls watch Cinderella they want the princess wedding, their prince charming, and of course their one of a kind wedding gown. Well a woman by the name of Andreas Evstratiou from Paphos, Cyprus had just that on February 18, 2007, her wedding day!

Her wedding dress train measured 4468 feet and 5.94 inches. She now holds the record for the longest wedding dress train. That is as long as a house or a small brick building. Im guessing on this but she probably had to have lots of people helping her to not get her train stuck or torn somewhere. I am also guessing that she took the train off for her reception so she could have some real fun.

My opinion-dress trains should NOT be that long!
