When was the last time you saw a help wanted ad that specified--for no reason, I might add--gender?:

Knowledge of html/css, photoshop, or mychabad.org’s site control (website management) system a plus.

My sweetie and I enjoyed the Chabad telethon yesterday (after watching super-goy Gene Tierney in "Laura" with his friends John and Martha), sofa-dancing along with the rabbis every time they updated the tote board. Good training for next week's muscular dystrophy telethon. H likes to tune in at least as long as it takes Jerry Lewis to rip into his staff. "The record is eighteen minutes into the show," he said.

It's a phone...and a camera! What year is it, 2005? Anyhoo, two photos from Borough Park, Brooklyn.
When the big one drops, all I have to do is hop on the R train, transfer to the D at 36th Street and take it to 55th Street, then walk half a block east, where possibly the last fallout shelter in America is. I should have checked their stock of bottled water.
The top picture illustrates how the artist at Nissen photography will tailor each pose to the individual occasion.
