RIP Flattus Maximus
Yes, GWAR guitarist Flattus Maximus (also known as Cory Smoot) has left the planet. When not Christmas Caroling with his heavy metal bandmates, Flattus was one of the most respected musicians ever to wear latex Triceratops epaulets, and his loss will be felt by many, particularly those who’ve always been after his job.
It’s amazing what some people will do to get out of playing Edmonton.

“You take the blue pill — the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill — you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
What? No, I’m not ‘supposed to be Morpheus.’ I’m trying to sell you ecstasy.”
Just when you thought making fun of hipsters was dead, it springs back to life like the unstoppable killer in a slasher flick, only with less interpersonal engagement. Hours of fun for the whole family, starting with your family right here at the Manolosphere. We’ve scoured the far reaches of that week-old blog to bring you the finest in Caption Contest entertainment, so sharpen your claws and get to work in the comments:
What Price Fame?
He Put a Ring on It
Congratulations to Manolosphere favorite the Duchess of Alba and her boytoy, Whatsisname. It was a lovely ceremony by all accounts, and a lovely dress (with requisite detailing on the back, because of course the guests are staring at the back of the dress for most of the ceremony).
Also lovely: the undoubtably soon-to-be-made romcom, starring Vincent Cassel and Jocelyn Wildenstein.
Miss Universe spreads out
Apparently, they’re taking the pageant name literally now. Here is Miss Venezuela in her National Costume…apparently Wales is now a part of Venezuela? This photo was snapped just before the now-infamous altercation with emcee Harry Potter.
A Man With a Vision. Which Includes Kittehs, Apparently.
I watched this video wanting to not like this man, but he is too cute not to like.
