Nail Salon Stereotypes
I was looking up Platino pedicure chairs for a friend and found something amusing: the spatech website includes documentation (installation instructions, specs, etc.) on equipment and for this chair, they have non-English versions. The languages the documentation comes in? Korean and Vietnamese.
While nail salons are stereotyped as being owned and run by Korean and Vietnamese people, but there’s always some truth to a stereotype. For example, I am related to people who own and run a dry cleaners, a nail salon and a liquor store. My parents even owned a grocery store back in the day.

Hot female artists
If I could pick a celebrity body to have, it would have to be Rihanna’s after watching her performances from the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. (I also really like her as an artist.) I stopped watching this annoying awards show and MTV in general a long time ago (what ever happened to the music part of Music Television?), but my TiVo picked the rerun up because Russell Brand hosted. He’s hilarious and here’s Rihanna’s performance of “Disturbia” for the show’s opening:
Second, Christina Aguilera’s performance was also hot, especially the remixed “Genie in a Bottle:”
And finally, more Rihanna, this time with T.I., performing “Live your Life” (follow T.I.’s performance “Whatever You Like,” starts at 2:16: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtESW0q2YMY. (Apparently, this performance’s embedding was disabled by request and MTV took down all copies of it on their site. Weird. Don’t know why.)

Scherzo (+ free “classical” music)
One of my favorite pieces from my old repertoire. Trying to get back into the practice rooms to get back into shape. A short clip, performed by Olga Steeb:
Found this version/performance on the album “Retrospective: The USC Thornton School of Music” on iTunes. The whole album is free!
Also good for free “classical” music: the Internet Archive’s Free Downloads of Open Source Audio. Like this performance of Clair de Lune (Debussy).
