good bye windy - an obituary


Windemere Linnaeus Damion Marshall Rahman; July 08, 2007; Diamond Bar, CA

Windemere Linnaeus Damion Marshall Rahman (Windy) was adopted by Lo Ling from the kind people at PetsMart sometime before Winter Break. He had good times in his sexy bowl with his bowlmate Rio, but was soon faced with the tragedy of her death. His strength pulled him and me through this difficult time. He was a good fish, enduring long and strenuous and bumpy car rides back home, surviving very low water levels. He never complained, not even when I put him on a diet. Windy provided inspiration and love to Lo and Ashley, and especially loved his Godmother Maral and his godsiblings (what were their names again Maral??) who have also passed.

Royal Flush-ing took place today at 7:44 pm, 4 minutes after Windy's death.

BREAKING NEWS! Gwen has adopted new Harajuku Slave: EVE

A while back, platinum rap artist Eve came out with her new video and her new song, "Tambourine".

Exciting.

Due to the recent trend in female artists redesigning their look and sound (Nelly Furtado, Fergie, Gwen Stefani, Joss Stone, etc..), it was to be expected that "Tambourine" would be Eve's similar second debut.

But nobody expected her to come out looking like


Gwen Stefani.


Sure, they collaborate well together in my opinion (Rich Girl, Let Me Blow Ya Mind, etc...), but

One completely morphing into the other was totally uncalled for.

What am I talking about?

Alright well let me tell you-

--i can do better.

Let me show you.


_______________________


Here's presenting

"Tambourine."


0:01



the change is painfully apparent from second one of the new video. the platinum artist has gone... platinum. in the head.

like gwen.



alright so when hilary duff went brunette we didn't start calling her mandy moore. so no biggie right?

well let's just take a look at the cut, yes?


here's a clip from Gwen Stefani's first video release off her newest album:


hmm..


not too suspicious right? I mean Rihanna copied Jenny McCarthy's awkard tiltbobthing but no one said she was exactly morphing into her.

Well let's just continue -


back to "Tambourine"...


just a couple seconds later and we are now... three seconds into the video

and in enters...





you got it. eve's own harajuku slaves.





just in case you didn't know about Gwen's Harajuku slaves-- here they are.




now things are starting to get freaky...

after bearing about eight seconds of new harajuku madness we are presented with...


eve - tambourine


oh look- eve has her own akon now too. very reminiscent of the sweet escape.





anyway

by now the beat of the "Tambourine" has caught me and i'm enjoying the music pretty well. the video continues, complete with close up head shots of eve's new do, harajuku's dancing, and "akon" ..akonning,

and then eve appears sitting on a bed in a very pink room with her very happy harajukus.




wait.


this is strangely reminiscent of something...


oh

i remember now






so basically we are being presented with the pink version of the sweet escape. not bad. great song. interesting video... moving on.



next up we have eve sitting in a meticulously trimmed public garden.





where have we seen THIS before...?


oh of course. another GWEN STEFANI video...






well
after this brief interlude to a mimicry of yet another one of miss gwen's music videos, we are graciously returned to "The Sweet Escape: Pink Version by Eve", as we watch two of Eve's Harajuku slaves help her dress.





oh. just like when two of gwen stefani's harajuku slaves helped herrr get dressed in "The Sweet Escape: Gold Version by Gwen" you ask?
yes. exactly!






wow. this IS the sweet escape revisited you might be thinking, in concordance with my thoughts. and if you're not. there's more.


"Tambourine" continues and here we have eve riding in a car with her akon:






Gwen Stefani riding in a car with Akon:




ooh-
someone on eve's production team: "oh can we get a shot in the car of eve in the foreground and him in the back?"





"...you know, just like Gwen."





yeah.




oh i'm not done.


because then eve appears wearing what strongly resembles...





animal print.


you know,

just like gwen




or just like gwen





or you know





just like gwen.



oh WAIT WAIT

wait.


like who?





gwen.



case closed.
