I’m Impressed

Posted on August 12, 2012

McKayla Maroney…she’s got a sense of humor Poking fun of the whole “Not Impressed” meme. She should do more of these photos. The real thing. That Tumblr account is cute, but some of the photoshopping is dodgy.There’s more drama on the real gymnastics team than in that Disney TV show, Make It Or Break It. I wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t some reality show featuring McKayla already in development.

Random Acts of Dodgy Found an Irish running shirt. I run, it’s that breathable wicky shite, so I shall get it. So there.

Colleen Green It’s pretty locked up that the next interview on The Dodgy will be singer/musician Colleen Green. I can’t tell you enough what a bag of good that is. She is one interesting rocker chick. And she writes a comic book to boot! She’s playing Empty Bottle here in Chicago on Sept. 18. Staying on the subject of indie music, I came across The Lounge Ax “Defense & Relocation” CD.  Back from when the city of Chicago shit on…

Chinese Sun Masks

Chinese sun masks

It’s so feckin’ hot, my Chinese sisters

At first glance I thought this was a group of Lucha libre Mexican wrestlers taking a dip. But these ladies are wearing the nylon mask thingys to protect them from the rays of the sun. I didn’t know it got that hot in China. Will those catch on in blistering Chicago? We’ll be on the lookout.
