Up here in Canada, we just couldn’t wait another weekend to start the summer, it’s our traditional Victoria Day on Monday May 21st (I like to pretend it’s all about me, and even shoot fireworks!) This weekend is also known colloquially as May 2-4. I’m sure you can guess what that means to Ontario cottage country. I’ll try not to make the headlines while I’m up there

Recently I had the pleasure of reading an unsolicited article by Tim Knight for the HuffingtonPost regarding Naked News. I have to admit, it’s probably the most spot on article written to date. There are a couple of remarks I’d like to make however, before you chase the link though.
First: we are not out of work actors waiting for our big break – this is a fantastic job and we are right where we want to be. Yes, we’re just that good
Second: The reference to the Time quote, (even though Tim could not find it on the net), did say “best int’l coverage this side of the BBC, the naked part is gravy”. It’s true. I was there. In fact, I just checked the comments under the article and have to say thanks to loyal fan Threk for providing this link for proof!

. . . . from last night’s interview, here’s Eila with Nat and Marie just before the live show began. Victoria

I love their tank tops, too funny! For a hilarious tour of the net, let these ladies be your sherpa. http://natandmarie.tumblr.com/ Eila and I had a great time on their show Wed. May 16th. That’s the last day Eila is 23! Happy Birthday Eila!

Eila and Victoria as cewebrities . . . .
It’s happening Wednesday May 16th at 9:30 pm eastern standard time (that’s tonight, so don’t make plans!). Eila Adams and I will be guesting on the super fun web show “Nat and Marie” who are a chatty, fun pair who discuss everything current on the net. You can interact with the hosts via twitter, skype etc etc so we certainly hope to have you there watching! If you happen to miss it, don’t worry Naked News has you covered, we’ll have one of our own camera men capturing the whole thing for later viewing on NN (we’ll see if Eila can get Nat to at least remove her sweater

Hi everybody, Now I know this is old news to you dedicated viewers, but I was on vacation last week and missed the return of a FAVORITE colleague, Erica Stevens. By the way, I have many favorites from the past 12 years at Naked News, and I have been missing all of them, I can admit that to you now. So, Erica and I are in the facebook edition of News in Brief today, as well as a little back and forth in News off the Top. Watch for that in the archives May 15th if you don’t get to it right away.

Cheers and Fireworks my friends! She’s BACK baaaaaaaby! (she brings out my impish side)

Hey remember back in March we had a journalist in from TheGrid Toronto? Stephen Baldwin did a great job and I even landed the cover. Sort of fun timing, that photo shoot was done the day before my birthday in April. Turned out to be a much larger article than I expected. Strange about the hair, but I have to admit it’s, uh, eye catching!

TheGRIDTO Naked News, Just the Facts Maam

It’s Rachelle’s Birthday March 14th everybody! Drop by our facebook fan page and wish our beauty well! We also had a journalist in from TheGridTO who was quite taken with our lovely brunette, so that’s the pic – I’ll post the link when that article comes out soon.

Really. Why? why do you make it so hard for me to defend you? Pundits today, more than any other time, know their job is to entertain. Say ANYTHING but don’t be boring. So this law translates to, really? anything? yep. In fact the easiest way to entertain or engage is to infuriate someone, or a lot of someones. The sad part is how well this works, is it because we are all so collectively frustrated that we need this outlet? someone else to say outrageous, stupid things to incite our anger without paying a price for it?

In case you actually missed it – Rush Limbaugh graces my keyboard because he recently referred to a woman as a slut etc. in regards to the subject of female birth control being paid for by insurance. (Look it up – he’s losing advertisers and Peter Gabriel) His apology, although rare, was probably designed to keep the heat going as he does not withdraw the spirit of the attitude. Ok. It’s been decades since this debate was settled and guess what? Women aren’t going to give up birth control – and men don’t want them to. Sure, maybe there will be more jobs for men, but the consequences are having to work TWO of them to support the endlessly growing brood! Bad idea.

This leads me, of course, to Rick Santorum. His lawyer wife dropped her career to home school their children, presumably there are lots of them because of an aversion to birth control. Now I am not knocking an individual choice like that, but as an example? come on, how many of us can afford such an outdated luxury? Yes LUXURY! Yet another candidate completely out of touch with the average day to day reality. I assume most of them are wealthy, and out of touch with the rest of us, but some fake it better which, at least, shows an awareness it might be important.

So there. Rant over – and I was quite restrained! Let me know your thoughts on Rick Santorum – is he just enjoying his turn at being popular before Mitt Romney takes the final republican stage? Or does he have viable qualifications I just can’t see right now?

I am waiting with breathless anticipation to see just exactly what the Iranians plan to say in their upcoming announcement regarding their nuclear technology. This may be unpopular, but I don’t think they have any nukes. Tar and feather me later if you will, but I think the hawks are getting a bit too eager to engage in another conflict and need to just settle down for a bit. Getting all worked up over WMDs that do not exist cost rather badly last time didn’t it? I guess time will tell. What’s your bet? Victoria
