Fashion Week is for whores preacher says
Sep 9th
Those old enough to remember , the reverend Fred Felps visited Boulder twice in the 1990s with is band of fire breathing daughters.
Boulder Channel 1 was there to video at the corner of Baseline and Broadway. 3000 gay protestester nearly kill the preacher and his family. It took Boulder and Denver Swat to keep that from happening. Oh the fun. But Felps won’t be in Boulder this week end. He’ll be in NY where he is loved…… by the fashion industry.
Westboro Baptist to Protest Fashion Week, Thank GodFor once in their miserable lives, the grizzled wackos of Kansas’ Westboro Baptist Church (we’ve them to thank for “God Hates Fags”) are doing something we almost half agree with. Namely, they’re protestingNew York Fashion Week.
OK, OK, so saying things like this is terrible:You’re going to teach the women, especially the young women of this country, to doll themselves up … All you are doing is teaching girls to be proud whores!
But then just before that, church mouthpiece Steve Drain said this: “The whole thing is vanity!” And he is not wrong about that!
Then he goes on to say “the whole idea [of the] fashion industry is to make women look as whorish as possible and men look as effeminate at possible” and that is clearly awful and he should stop saying that. But t
hen he says “Put some jeans on and fear God. Forget about all this fashion nonsense,” and it kinda makes sense? M
aybe not the fear God part, but just putting on some damn jeans and forgetting about this fashion nonsense — Fashion Wee
k in particular being a grimly shallow and shitty and chichi enterprise — kind of sounds like a good idea? Sure fashion is fun, but good heavens you’d think these preening swans were curing cancer the way they strut around all haughty and better than all us Joe-John Stinkpots down here in the muck. It’s too much!
All I’m saying is don’t be that surprised if you find me at Lincoln Center sometime this weekend calling Marc Jacobs a painted whore. It’s just something I might do.

Boulder County Fire Ban: see details
Sep 2nd
Sheriff Pelle orders outdoor fire ban
Thursday, September 01, 2011
Contact: Jay Stalnacker, Fire Management Officer (303) 441-3642
Sheriff Joe Pelle has enacted a fire ban, which restricts open burning and prohibits the discharge of any and all fireworks and model rockets in the unincorporated mountain areas of Boulder County.
This includes all unincorporated areas west of U.S. 36 (North Foothills Highway), and west of Highway 93 (South Foothills Highway) as well as Rabbit Mountain Open Space (see map).
During the fire ban, open burning is permitted only under the following circumstances:
-
Fire contained within liquid or gas fuel stoves
-
Camp fires in U.S. Forest Service improved/maintained campgrounds that are currently open to the public*(see separate news release from the U.S. Forest Service)
-
Charcoal grill fires on private property
Charcoal grills at county open space shelters on mountain properties are also closed during this ban. This includes, but is not limited to, Rabbit Mountain, Heil Valley Ranch, Hall Ranch, Betasso Preserve, and Walker Ranch.
The ban will remain in effect until the hazardous fire conditions subside. Anyone found in violation of the ban may be convicted of a Class 2 petty offense and may be subject to a $500 fine. Higher fines may be imposed for subsequent offenses.
Fire ban rationale
The Boulder County foothills have continued to dry out after months of moderate moisture. Currently, Boulder County has a high fire danger rating, as determined by the National Weather Service National Fire Danger rating System. This is due to a combination of dry fuels, hot and dry weather and an increase in regional wildland fire activity.
It is anticipated that with the continued late summer and early fall drying season and the expected beginning of the Chinook winds, Boulder County will continue to have a high fire danger rating.
State statutes authorize counties to impose fire restrictions when the threat of wildfire has been determined by credible and quantifiable data, to be “high.” The Sheriff’s Office relies upon data from the U.S. Forest Service, the National Weather Service, and local experience with fire conditions to make this determination.
*Note: as of Sep. 2, fire restrictions are also in place on portions of National Forest System lands in Boulder and Larimer Counties in support of the fire ban by Boulder County. (Read the news release from the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland)
