Georgia Straight Watch: Madona Sex Machine

It's been a long time coming. But the Georgia Straight Watch is back, not so much by popular demand, but because I picked up a copy, and we're blogging again. So here's your, kind of late, current issue, top 5 things that are so very right and/or wrong about this weeks edition:

5. The whole cover is about Madonna. Lets not go there, even if Sex Machine was a trolling for readers headline, because it's all there on page 61. "On a completely superficial level, there's the fact that Ritchie's soon-to-be-ex-wife—improbably, and against all known laws of nature—is hotter at 50 than she was in her 20s, and only partly because she no longer dresses like something Keith Richards's cat dragged in." Are you serious? Have you not seen this Madonna?

4. On the other hand, we can appreciate Madonna when interpreted by designers with a soft spot for the 1980s and penchant for modeling themselves like Christina Culver does.

3. This week's Love Lounge personal, the appropriately names, "Awkwardtouch". Is it that he is a gun owner? That he paints small figurines? Or is it that he dreams of living "...in the mountains away from civilization with my sweet heart. Hunting your own food, living in a cottage... i think it'd be cozy and relaxing." I can see where the name came from. C-R-E-E-P-Y.

2. The commentary on Work Less Party candidate Betty Krawczyk being overlooked for a mayoral debate is pretty funny. Spending ink on writing about why an 80-year candidate for a joke party like this is like a SNL skit. It's awesome, she's like the female John McCain only not like Republican. It's absurd. And crazy. Although I actually find her more credible than Marc Emery. Follow up question: does the Georgia Straight have like a Grandma thing going on this week? Edgy. Bonus: The comments on this feature Emery and me actually agreeing with Bill Tieleman which was, er, awkward.

1. Still the best thing. The Goethe. Nice to see a long story on Golden Mile Cellars, now Road 13 Vineyards. Looks like a nice re-brand and my friend Daniel will approve of their all screw top philosophy. Who doesn't.
