Mr Winkle and Perfection Knowles.

Bosom friends!

Eventually a cold front has arrived here in Miami too.

I cannot believe it myself...50 degrees and even lower by this evening.
Now I don't expect penguins to migrate to Florida any time soon but it is nice to enjoy the sunshine without the ever present armpit sweat stain.

Speaking of icy cold matters Vanilla Ice is in some hot water.

The 47-year-old former rapper, whose real name is Robert Matthew VanWinkle, was arrested and charged with burglary and grand theft on Wednesday for allegedly stealing numerous items such as bicycles, a pool heater, a couch and a mattress from a foreclosed home.

First of all I have to congratulate Mr Vanilla for his real last name. Just deliciously goofy. It sounds like one of those third rated gangster nicknames from a Dick Tracy comic.

According to the Lantana Police Department, he was renovating a house in Palm Beach County and saw a foreclosed home across the street. Police say he then entered the foreclosed home and took the items.
VanWinkle has already voluntarily met with detectives to give a sworn statement, and police say he has been very cooperative.
No rapper attitude was displayed by Mr Winkle.

Vanilla Winkle (VW...how funny) currently has a successful reality television series called The Vanilla Ice Project, in which he renovates and flips houses in Florida. Season four is set to air on March 8.

Perhaps he just needed to remain within budget so I he thought "what the hell" and went and took some accent pieces from the foreclosed property to make his "flip" look more polished.
There is no harm in being thrifty.
Seriously though...from rapping to flipping.
Ice, ice baby.

On the other hand we have Queen B Beyonce herself having a bit of trouble with some un-retouched pictures from a L'Oreal campaign she shoot a while ago.
Big whoop.
Once again I am speechless.
Not even Queen B has porcelain flawless skin.
I just fell off my rainbow cloud.
My unicorn will have to start seeing a psychotherapist pronto.

Before.

Before.

After.

Once and for all:

EVERY SINGLE PICTURE WE SEE HAS BEEN EDITED.

As the ad states :  "The proof is in the mirror". Precisely my point. Trust a mirror not a glossy magazine picture.

Let's move on, shall we?
To all Beyonce's fans (they were not happy when those pics surfaced) I would like to say the following:

"Your queen is perfect. We all accept that as an intrinsic fact of life. Nevertheless I would like to remind you that there are way more pressing matters to get our nickers in a twist for."

Cool as Vanilla ice, OK?

Ciao for now.
