LA Ink: Is Kat Kidding?

So I haven’t written any posts for about 8 weeks now, but Kat has been plenty busy. I wrote months ago that Pixie was fired! Yeah, yeah, I’m no Nostradamus (he was the chap that predicted a lot bad stuff would happen to Earth) but that was like saying Rosie O’Donnell is going to skip a meal: That was harsh, I take that back. Alright, so Pixie got Kim’s ire and paid with it with her job. Pixie deserved to get fired or forced to quit! She was lazy and then tried to portray herself as the victim, please. Orbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! What the February! Are you kidding me? One minute you are dining with Kat’s dad and asking approval for his daughter’s hand in marriage and the next your packing your bags and moving into your Malibu home. Frankly Orbi, I don’t think it was your fault. Kat is an absolute mess and there is no way that she could hold a serious relationship together with everything that she has going on. Heck she tires me out and I only get an hour a week, I couldn’t imagine more than that with Kat. Hang in there Orby, the girl must dig those thick goggles you wear: The better to see you with Kat! Finally, Musink happened. Seemed like a big success. If you went, let me know what you thought of this Tattoo/Music festival. Seemed like a good idea. Until next time!

LA Ink: Skate or Die

So Kat, you like the whole skate, vibe thing. Well, now you got a skate ramp in your freakin shop: Way to go Kat! O.K. will get back to Kat and the ramp. For now, let’s move on to the frog tattoo. If you have ever read what I have written, I usually like what most people have to put on their bodies, because it’s their choice and I respect that. However, the tattoo of PEABODY, excuse me pee-buh-dee as she stated, is a symbol of strength for her. What ever floats your boat. Hey, Hanna was a bit bitter tonight, but I didn’t blame her. I liked the idea of the skateboard ramp, but if Kat wants to have a truly respected tattoo shop, her tattoo artists have to be happy and heck, be able to concentrate! Anyways, your a true professional Hanna, just lighten up a tad. Part two of the fireman’s tribute to 911 tattoo by Corey turned out awesome. The sucker looked awesome. The red, white and blue flag popped on the mostly black and white tattoo. What’s nice, is that those of us who call America home, will never forget about September eleventh and the courageous women and men that both died that day and helped people survive. Good show tonight. Until next time.

LA Ink: Peeing in the Ocean!

You gotta love this story! So after many, many years, Kat’s boyfriend Orbi (Roy Orbison’s son) decides to pay tribute and get a tattoo of his brother and father when they were kids. So Orbi, his older brother Roy and Roy Sr. (DAD) get to the beach and it’s so crowded that they had to wait to get a spot on the beach. A spot finally opens up and Roy Jr. says that he has to go pee. Roy Sr. says to his son, ” when I was smaller I used to walk into the ocean and pee in the water.” So, Roy Jr. heads off to the water, and in ankle deep water, he drops his drawers, starts peeing and turns around and says, “HEY DAD IS THIS HOW YOU USED TO DO IT?” Funny stuff. Also on this episode, Pixie and Kim go speed dating. Kim wasn’t into it and stated that she wanted and needed something more organic: Go figure. All Pixie could talk about to her dates is that she wanted to get a tattoo on her breasts. I don’t think anyone really cares! I thought the best tattoo of the night was one that did not get finished and that was the fire fighter’s memorial to 911. I can’t wait to see how it turns out, because Corey is an amazing artist. Until next week!

The Biggest Loser: Let’s Play Two

Walking on an escalator and going nowhere, not my idea of fun: That stuff looked terrible. Burn baby burn! I thought Bernie “Berndana” was a wimp. He could have hung in a bit longer and helped Brittany out. The net result was a win for the newly formed blue team. However, the highlight of the night was to see Jillian and Bob go at it in competition. Bob won the competition, but Jillian gave him a run for his money at first. Bob was just too long and and a bit stronger. It was cool to see the trainers go at it. On to the temptation: Drink as much soda as you want, find a star at the bottom of the cup and choose another player form the other team and their weight does not count in the next weigh in. The temptation was a flop, no takers! So they are off and working out with their new trainers on the new black and blue teams. The work , they work and work some more and then Paul goes and gains 3 pounds. The kung-foo master should been voted off for just sillyness. A 3 pound gain folks, what the hell? Well, in the end Jenn was voted off and it was a good choice overall. I think the show was actually slowing her down, because she was all about the gameplay. Proof positive though, she went home at looked great. Way to go Jenn, you didn’t need the show! By the how ’bout Trent and the yoga. That dude looked good doing that. This big guy is limber and Bob is right. He has all the makings of winning this thing.Until next week.

The Apprentice: Girls, Girls, Girls?

I’m not sure why the Donald keeps this girls team together. It’s clearly obvious that the dynamic is not right. I say it every week, but can we get rid of Omarosa? Is anyone else out there sick of here? Good gravy, she does nothing for this team except to play the role of, “I am a business woman and i know how things work”, Bull@#$%. Ivanka said it right, Mary Lou must stay in order for this team to have any kind of chance. In the end Mary Lou brought in Carol Alt and Jenny Finch to the boardroom, but Jenny had no chance. She was destined to leave from the get go. She has awesome qualities and they were just to good for the business world where you have to lie, cheat and steal sometimes: It’s shameless. God Bless Jenny, go win another Gold medal! So the guys win yet again. I thought the task was fairly uneventful. There were isolated bits of humor for sure. I loved when Trace was trying to speak with the foreigners and they couldn’t understand a word he was saying, hell, neither can I sometimes. This Peirs guy is the Omarosa of the guys team. He gets under everyone’s skin, which leads to meaningless, yet funny barbs between he and Baldwin. Peirs needs to stay around, at least until Omarosa leaves.

LA ink: Kat Kan’t Remember

On tonight’s show, you gotta have faith. The first tattoo for a WWE wrestler was quite subdued. She got faith written across her left wrist, kool. One of the coolest stories was that of a former couple, now a couple again, who were brought back together by the horrible tsunami in Indonesia. It turns out that Tammy was buried, injured and eventually found in the hospital. Who walks in? Her old boyfriend , Marco who feels that having friends and family close should always come first, cause without them, what do you have. What’s not to like about this guy. O.K., so onto Kat. Kat, newsflash, you drink too much you will get drunk and you might not remember stuff. So, Orby, Kat’s boyfriend gets upset and goes home to Malibu. No biggie though, time to make up, so how do we make up? Oh, of course, take a bath together and stop drinking forever! I see how it works. I really thought it was awesome to see the tattoo artists actually painting some art. I think that’s cool. It’s cool because you get to see them in a different light. They are already so talented and then to put something on canvas when they are so used to drawing on skin,it’s impressive. Finally, Kim was so nervous to tattoo an artist who documents and paints actual tattoo artists. But she drew a wicked skull on his thigh, wow! Until next week.

Biggest Loser Couples: Kung Foo Fighting

You have woken a sleeping giant. Yeah, I’m talking about Paul. Where did this guy come from? Paul and Kate, sour at being chosen a threat and forced to compete against the rest of the groups at this weeks weigh in. It was Paul and Kate against the world! It was hilarious to see a portly Paul move his fists of furry. God bless ‘em. If it wasn’t enough that Paul had his Bruce Lee maneuvers were in high gear, NBC had some comical sound effects that were choreographed to speeding fists and gongs, to name a few. I will say this, Paul was focused. He took over the challenge single handily, were he raced across a long bean, grabbed 11 out of 12 batons before the other teams had a chance to grab six. This man was possessed. The prize for the challenge was letters from home, which Paul and Kate asked to fore go and allow the rest of the teams to get letters form their loved ones. Even they were playing the game, I thought it was a generous gesture. How about Mark from the black team, spouting off, saying that if the other teams don’t do their best to lose weight so they could ultimately beat Kate and Paul, they would pay! Who is he? As if he has any power. While I agree that that Mark and Jay are a very strong team, there are way to many couples left to-be able to control who ever you want. This dude is a bit arrogant. In the end, lost enough weight to stay above the yellow line which gave them the right to send whoever they wanted, home! Their choice……..Bette Sue and Ali. I thought it was a good choice. The pink team thought it was unfair, when just days ago, they were voting for the yellow team to leave the campus. pay back is a *&$%^! Until Next Week.

The Amazing Race: TK and Rachel…Winner, Winner, Winner!

TK and Rachel are the winners of the latest Amazing Race! Congratulations to all the contestants. It’s always neat to see all the contestants at the finish line which brings back instant memories of a very cool show. Who’s your daddy? and Christina were so close. It would have been o.k. if they had won it, but I’m just equally happy about the winners, Tk and Rachel. TK said it at the end, and that is that he was able to run the race without compromising his relationship with Rachel. I agree! This show was tight. They all caught up to each other at the ice climb, where Christina and her dad were in the lead, however, Christina struggled up the ice. Regardless, they got off the ice first, with a small lead and were able to get in the helicopter and get to the next challenge before anyone else. Again, everyone caught up and it was anyone’s race. The challenge was a test of their memories and they were to place an item on a large scale that had to do with various stops during the race. There was a wide variety of items. In fact, Christina had finished first with only one item wrong, she was that close! In the end, Rachel figured it out as Christina panicked. And the rest is history. Another great season. I thought that ice climb was great and the views, phenomenal! I will definitely be visiting Alaska: WOW! Until next time.

American Idol: Two nights of Interesting Singers

Well, were off and running and the Idol machine is in full gear. Here are a few of the highlights. The most memorable singing or shall I say voicees coming from within, has to be the Birdman, Renaldo Lapuz! He came in and had an ode to Simon that will always be remembered. It has to be ranked up there with William Hungs, She Bangs. The singing sensation from the Phillipines belted out a song in honor of Simon that had all the judges, Paula and Randy, dancing through about, what seemed like endless versions of an original composition called, ” We Are All Brothers.” So amny funy things, so little time. See Ya next week with more content, can’t wait to get to the real Idol!

LA Ink: Pixie Fired!

This weeks episode floated around the assumption that Pixie would be fired from the shop. C’mon, Kat is all purrrrr and no bite. While, Kat is learning to be a boss, she is no Donald Trump, “your fired.” Anyways, so went the show as it dragged Kat to see her life coach to get support and advice as to what to do with Pixie, in the end, NOTHING HAPPENED! Oh well. Hey how about those portrait tattoos. Portraits are my favorites, because they always have a true to life story behind them that involves human beings, which makes them extremely personal. The first person brought in a picture of her grandma, sitting in the woods, holding a gun on her honeymoon. I thought that was really cool and different. The other portrait was again of a grandma in her diva days. It was a beautiful picture of a woman growing up in Tijuana. Kat really did her thing on this one. Similarly, Corey knocked his portrait with style. These tattoo artist are awesome! The most bizarre scenario was the hair stylist that has a new hair product line and wanted to get his insignia, a “B”, on his neck. Look, put tattoos wherever you want, but dude, a “B”?????? I don’t see the owner of Suave parading around with a big, old “S” on his forehead pimping his product. I’m all for owning your own business and following your dreams, but mix in a dose clarity. See your vision, don’t be your vision. I guess, if the product line doesn’t work out, the “B” can stand for BUTTHEAD! Until Next time. And oh yeah, Hanna’s back.
