It became crucial to find out how the lead poisoning was getting into the man's body, and Dr. Bhalla, at the time working at San Francisco General Hospital, enlisted an investigator from the San Francisco Department of Public Health to figure it out.
Then there was the rumored comradery between Prejean and Sarah Palin. And then news broke that the Miss California pageant paid for Prejean's breast augmentation. And then a Web site posted nude photos of a woman they say is Prejean, which led pageant officials to explore whether or not Prejean had violated her contract, enabling them to strip her of her title. (Parsing the reasoning of an organization that pays for breast implants but wags their fingers over topless photos is a separate conversation.)
Well, things may be looking up for Prejean as the inevitable offer of a well-compensated porn debut has been made. Vivid Entertainment has offered Prejean one million dollars to star in an adult movie. The porn industry is such that it hardly requires promotion of any kind, but offering a scanalized woman a porn gig for an eye-popping amount of money that will inevitably be turned down is a surefire (and free) way to drum up some publicity.
Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Preceding next month's Air Guitar Championships at San Francisco's Independent will be the "Air Sex" showdown -- meaning all we need are some folks pantomiming the shooting up of heroin or toking a bong and we'll have Air Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll.
What, you may ask is "Air Sex?" Well -- and we're not going to make a Paris Hilton joke here, we promise -- it appears to be folks comically re-enacting sex with invisible partners in front of a quasi-inebriated crowd ... and hilarity ensues. The traveling circus is the offshoot of monthly contests held at the Alamo Cinema Drafthouse, a Parkway-esque cinema, bar, and, it would seem, place to re-enact sex with invisible partners in Austin, Texas (the video above features, among other entrants to last year's championship, a Sarah Palin look-alike and what appears to be a man in a wolf suit; the stars at night are big and bright -- deep in the heart of Texas!).
