"Ashley Dupre had a "magic" you-know-what." Pray tell what was that? A key chain, cell phone? What?

Those whiskers look precarious. Like "Joker Pencil Magic Trick" precarious.

Ashley Dupree has a magic carpet. Too bad it isn't Stainmaster.

Silly Bronx resident, we all know that Staten Island is the most neglected borough.

"former SI Borough President James Molinari's" - Guy Molinari was the former SI congressman and BP. James Molinaro is the current BP.

As I looked at the most recent ad posted by American Apparel on the upper left corner, I will never buy anything that supports the look of being a total ass hole.

If I rub Ashley Dupree's magic you know what, do I get three wishes?

Unless your three wishes are contract crabs, the clap, and hep B simultaneously...probably not.

Oooh, I wish I could have a little replica of that cat statue. And I'm a dog lover.

^ It looks like a Botero. Maybe MoMA can hook you up: they sell replicas.
