Barbie, San Diego Edition

Barbie, San Diego Edition

Warning: Totally Tasteless Humor to Follow.  There are several versions of this going around the web. I received the first from a friend.  (Thanks, Lisa!) I’ve gathered other editions from several websites to compile all of these together. (I know – all terrible stereotypes, but this should offend everyone equally, and wouldn’t it be funny if…)
Mattel recently announced the release of limited-edition Barbie Dolls for the Greater San Diego market:

It’s another busy weekend around San Diego, and it seems like most of it’s going on in Balboa Park!  In addition to the usual attractions (SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, LegoLand, Balboa Park, Old Town, the beach), here’s a sampling of what you’ll find around San Diego county this weekend:

Burlesque Meets Art Class in San Diego

On Saturday, July 28, artist and burlesque dancer, Molly Crabapple, will bring Dr. Sketchy’s to the Bluefoot Bar & Lounge. What is Dr. Sketchy’s? It’s a wild and wacky anti-art class where you can come and draw a glamorous burlesque performer, while competing in kooky drawing contests and drinking.
This party started in New York in 2005, and has become a movement, traveling to Hollywood, London, Tokyo, Rome and Melbourne! It comes to San Diego, coinciding with Comic-Con International. See the photo blog of some of the previous Dr. Sketchy’s sessions.
The model for this San Diego event will be the beautiful artist Zoetica Ebb, …read more

San Diego Has a New Comic to Watch

Did you see Last Comic Standing on TV last night? One of San Diego’s own has made it into the first semi-finals in Hollywood!
Dante did impressions of Jack Nicholson, Gilbert Gottfried, Christopher Lloyd, and Robert De Niro, and HE KILLED! The audience gave him a standing ovation, and he won the Capital One Audience Favorite, which entitles him to $1000 and a no-hassle pass to the next round.
If you missed it, you can watch this episode online at NBC. Now San Diego has another hometown hero to cheer for.
