Alright, I thought I had already wrote about this idea, but I couldn’t find it in the post archive, so here it is.  If it sounds familiar tell me, cuz I could have sworn I sent this out before, and if so maybe I’m missing some old posts.  Anyway, here’s the junxt.  Originally the idea was that celebrities would be mandated to make themselves available for dates with ‘regular’ people.  Some kind of government agency would handle the celebrity registration and their booking.  Then any joe/jane-schmo could apply for a once in a life time celebrity consolation date.  The date could only be redeemed in times of dire romantic despair and joe/jane’s case would have be evaluated, of course.  However, once approved, the date could be used for any purpose deemed appropriate by joe/jane-schmo.  If they wanted to finagle a commitment from a lover, make an ex jealous, or they just need a little confidence boast.  Or maybe they desperately need to fulfill some titillating fantasy that has plagued them for years, whatever, s’all good.  Imagine, you just got dumped by some stuck up bitch who left you for some dirty ass Williamsburg kid.  Now imagine showing up at Verb Cafe with Angelina Jolie as your ex is standing there in line gaping at you.  You grab Angelina’s ass and pull her onto the counter, spilling over-priced coffee all over your ex’s new boy toy and start fervently making out with Angelina right there.  As shes nibbling on your ear, Angelina looks over at your ex, still standing there staring and says “What the fuck are you looking at, bitch!”  Could also make a great reality TV show, think about it.

The Bird and the Bee are an indie pop/electronica duo from Los Angeles, CA comprised of Inara George on vocals and Greg Kurstin doing the producing, engineering and mixing as well as providing almost all instrumentation.  Greg and Inara met a few years ago. Discovered a common love of jazz standards…nerded out for a couple of hours playing every song they knew…and then wrote and recorded a record together.  They released one 4 track EP entitled “Again and Again”, which includes a remix of “F*cking Boyfriend” by Peaches. In January 2007 they released their first full length album “The Bird and The Bee”.  In October 2007, it was reported in Rolling Stone that Inara had sex with 10 men at once while laying vocal tracks for this release (<– that came from thier last.fm page, notice they said “laying” vocal tracks instead of recording. god I am dumb somtimes).  If you dig these tracks, and you can get past the whole sex with 10 dudes thing, you should check out some of Inara’s solo stuff (http://www.myspace.com/inarageorge).
