1. Ahhh, dogs. They are always happy to see us, want us to rub their bellies, and sometimes like to make us feel wanted by ... humping on our legs. ( This isn't unlike some "friendlier" patrons at sundry bars and clubs. ) Anyway, canine lovers ( and I mean that in the platonic sense ) might want to hop on over to the Harry Barker site ( www.harrybarker.com ) . You can pant over different items to wear or even select an oil painting that resembles Rover ( or Tito or Anna Nicole ) . Feel free to get a bathrobe for your doggie or even buy a hemp bag ... and "enjoy" the contents. ( Just kidding, of course' ) .
2. If you think you are the epitome of fitness ... or if you like to ogle perfect physical specimens' take a gander at the website StrengthNet ( www.strengthnet.com ) . Everywhere you see gorgeous men! You can read the biographies of the principals ( and, boy, are they hot! ) . You can buy fitness videos ( and, boy, are the models hot! ) . Lastly, you can read biographies of the models ( and, boy ... well, you get the message ) . Soon, you'll be able to hire these models ... and I definitely have plans for several of them.
3. On the flip side, Game Face ( www.gamefaceonline.org ) profiles female athletes and posits the question of what a female athlete looks like. The book and exhibition ( which, unfortunately, is currently only going up and down the East Coast ) that tackle this subject include such players as basketball's Nikki McCray, bodybuilding's Mary Elfer, and tennis ace Serena Williams. ( And who doesn't remember soccer's Brandi Chastain stripping off her shirt in exultation after the U.S. beat China? )
