what is flagrance?

Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess.

Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it!

"So you Wanna be a Boxer?"

This is a clip from the 1976 movie Bugsy Malone. Its a good movie with an entire cast all aged below 17. There is a early performance from Jodie Fosters, she even sings her own song: "My name is Talula". Appearances from Dexter Fletcher (as babyface) and Scott Baio as Bugsy Malone (Baio used to be Charles in "Charles in Charge"). Anyway, this movie spawned an unholy amount of school plays, who knows, perhaps you were in one.

This is one of my favourite songs from the movie, its called
"So you Wanna be a Boxer?" ZING! (you'll understand once you see it)

Harmless Male Chauvinism


These are some clips from "Harry Enfiled and Chums". Theres not much to say about them so just watch and enjoy pushing back womens rights about fifty years. :D

This is my favourite clip. It's longer, but definitley worth it.
"Spunky chaps with their hats at jaunty angles." priceless!

"I am above the law!"




There has been a recent surge in celebrity misdemeanors and flagrant crime this summer. It's getting out of hand, and I just can't handle it. Celebrity crime has been going on for god knows how long now, but Im going to start with the more recent cases because they are starting a trend.

Paris Hilton probably got the ball rolling by her recent stint in jail, and I already know what you tiny mind is thinking, well before it explodes I have to tell you to Stop! Yes she got caught and sent to jail for her string of crimes, but she was somehow able to only serve 3 days of her 45 day prison sentence and was then released. That has to be the most ridiculous judicial system in the world. Thank god there was public uproar and she was thrown back in jail. However, she bypassed the law again by only spending 22 days in jail. What a joke!

"Sort your life out" case number two would be Lindsey Lohan. What a train wreck of a person. Being an alcoholic before shes allowed to legally drink is quite an accomplishment. She is constantly being stung by her cocaine habit, and alcoholic antics (all before her 21st birthday and continuing after it too). This summer she has been arrested twice, first for crashing her car and then fleeing the scene (leaving a "usable amount of cocaine" in the car) and then for harrassing her former assistant by chasing after her under the influence of alcohol, needless to say, Lindsay was caught, and upon searching her, they found cocaine in her pockets, her brilliant reply was "these aren't my pants".
Hilarious as that reply was, it will probably get her off a jail sentance in court. Celebrities are getting special treatment from the law these days. Turning up to films sets hungover/sick fom drink and getting away with it is just another little quirk of celebrity status, we all want this power, and so, some of us emulate it (to our detriment of course).

"Sort you life out" case number three, Nicole Richie faces a jail sentance for driving down the highway the wrong way while under the influence of drugs. However, Richie is now pregnant and is publicly "turning her life around in the right direction", these are both viable get out of jail free cards for celebrities.

The list of "SYLO" cases goes on, but the most worrying thing is that these people are looked up to by tons (probably fat kids) of fans. Its not only actors who fuck up in this way, Models like Kate Moss set just as bad examples. Her polar opposite would be Gisele Bundchen, Gisele is an absolute professional when it comes to her job, even if she did do cocaine, she manages to keep her personal life out of the tabloids, and not by being extra careful, but just by not being a complete REMO (check that word up in the slang dictionary if you want the details). The crimes commited by these celebrities are not lighthearted, "ordinary" people would not get the incredibly lax treatment stowed upon these "stars".



And so, Gisele does her job like a professional, Hopefully Allessandra Ambrosio will follow in her footsteps. Similarly, I hope that new actors and actressess like Shia laBoeuf and Megan Fox dont follow in the mongoloid steps of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Somehow, I think that they will have more sense and provide better role models for people to look up to and the Flagrant lawbreakers will be dinosaurs of the past. I didn't need to put in these photos of Gisele and Ambrosio, but who cares.

Flagrant Fox



Well, its been a while old chum, havent really updated the site in ages, so I thought that I might as well write down some of my more recent brain farts. I went to see Transformers recently and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't particularly like Pearl Harbour (directed by Michael Bay), and when Matt Stone and Trey Parker put it into perspective for me, then I Really didn't like the movie. "The End of an Act" song gets it right by saying that Michael Bay had missed the whole point of Pearl harbour by making the first 3 quarters of it a useless romance involving Ben Affleck.

Anyway, the same is not to be said of the new Transformers movies directed by Michael Bay. I think he did a great job. His first right move was casting Megan Fox as the heroine of the movie. Don't be fooled, this post isnt about how much I like Transformers or even the redemption of Michael Bay, it's about Megan Fox.

What a breath of fresh air, she's the new girl in hollywood who gets to star in my wildest fantasies. However, I really really hope that she doesnt turn out like most of the other overexposed girls in hollywood. They end up being Lindsay Lohan duplicates who think they are above the law (see the post above this one). From what I hear, Foxes are supposed to be cunning and clever, and if that tells me anything, then Megan will hopefully work hard and be a professional actress as opposed to a professional waste of life like the others.

Heres a clip from the Movie. She mostly talks jibberish in this clip, but dont let that get you down, what she's really saying can be read by her incredible body language.... with an incredible body as the translator.
