so wrong...

this is absolutely terrible.
but must be viewed if only for mr. bowie's fantastically wretched hair extensions and very tight pants.
which, by the way, leave nothing to the imagination.

what we're listening to...

we're needing this one right about now...

what we're listening to...

it's not a new one, but this one has been on repeat all weekend at the studio...

and the video is SUPER DUPER cheesy!!!!
enjoy ~
a.

sadness...

such a shame.

'glee' star cory monteith was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in his vancouver hotel room saturday.
he was 31 years old.
an autopsy is scheduled for monday.
monteith was plucked from relative obscurity in 2009 to play finn hudson on the hit fox show, and soon became a fan favorite.
he entered rehab in march of this year for substance abuse. 
he has always been very candid about his drug problems, admitting in a 2011 'parade' interview that as a teen he was "doing anything and everything, as much as possible." At 19, he entered rehab for the first time.
our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

something to remember him by...

RIP.
