Signing the canvas

Do you remember doing finger paintings when you were a kid ?
Squeezing the paint from the tube all over your hands and then spreading it all over the canvas.

Di Peel has replaced traditional brushes, not with her hands, but with her breasts.

Di says breast painting came about after a chance discovery on the internet.
"There was a woman doing breast paintings and her boobs where quite small. I emailed the article to a friend and then my friend said well if you think you can do any better you should have a go. So I did," says Di.

The bubbly artist told ABC North West's Sian Gard, there is a big market for breast painting."I think there is, I sold my first painting for $10, my second for $26 and now I have a consignment of ten paintings at $89 each"

So, what kind of pictures do Di and her breasts produce? "They're more like abstract flowers," says Di.

"I sign every picture with my nipple" says Di.

George Foreman has no fingerprints!!

Former heavyweight boxer George Foreman was held by security for 4 hours at the Miami International Airport today.
Security would not allow Foreman, who had been doing promotion in Japan, back into the country as he could not provide the fingerprints required by federal law for entry. An accident over 15 years ago while using drain cleaner resulted in chemical burns to both his hands, and the loss of most of his fingerprints.

All For Believing

ARIA


ARIA have released the highest selling albums in Australia for 2005 and it's no real surprise that Missy Higgins' debut album The Sound Of White is number one.

But I gotta say its very dissapointing to see theres only three Aussies in the Top 20.

You can see the whole list
here. The Australian artists are in a slightly bolder font.

Also, while I was there I noticed that this wanker has had the No. 1 single for three straight weeks!!!!
