The Cougars Are Coming!

Of course there is a Miss Cougar America competition, and of course it's being held at Greenhouse Nightclub. Cougars will invade the city on April 29th for the Third Annual National Cougar Convention... hide your young!

According to the press release, "cougars from throughout America are invited to compete for the title... Cubs (younger men) in attendance will decide who wins the contest." The Keynote Speaker at the Convention, Rich Gosse (who is allegedly an authority on finding a romantic partner), says, "Age discrimination is perhaps the most pervasive prejudice in American Society. Older women, in particular, are victimized by our youth-obsessed society. They are regarded as ‘non-sexy’. Supposedly every American male is only attracted to nubile 20 year olds found in the centerfolds of men’s magazines." (We're looking at you Ebersole Gaines!)

Anyone 35 or older can compete... but isn't that entering Cheetah territory?

Putting the 'fun' back in 'funbags'. You go, Susan!

Too bad, those of you who have nothing to say but pre-adolescent snide remarks about a beautiful woman who doesn't depend on plastic to appear as some impossible version of Barbie.
Go back to 7th Grade and live where you belong.

They are starting to hang down to her knees. Get a bra.

You usually see that after grandma dropped her full glass of bourbon on the porch.

A friend dragged me into that place a few weeks ago. The pictures from when it opened like cool, but it's a total shithole now. Just another shitty LA bar that got lost on the way to New Jersey.

Gah, would someone please tell Susan Sarandon to put a shirt on?

Or a burka.

Wow.

That is IMO what a real woman is supposed to look like! However, I suspect that when (or) if a conversation started, it would be a whole other ball game.
