Skinheads From Maine

After a bunch of dummies in Maine (Buzzfeed superfan Joy Engel notwithstanding) voted against gay marriage yesterday, this clip from The Dana Carvey Show (featuring Carvey and Stephen Colbert) has been gaining popularity. Between lobsters, Stephen King, and that awesome scene from Maine-set In The Bedroom , we were really big fans of the state.

MisShapes’ Leigh Lezark: The Gawker Interview

Superstar MisShapes DJ and lovably icy ingénue Leigh Lezark may be the Anna Wintour of the downtown scenester set. Does that mean we can’t be friends? When I heard Leigh Lezark was hosting a party at the Tribeca Grand Hotel to hype her new Dossier magazine cover, I thought it would be a great opportunity to help rehab her frosty image.

The Victim of the Fox News Central Park Road-Rager Speaks!

The cyclist who says he was dragged around Central Park by a Fox News writer , who won’t face any charges in the incident, tells us neither cops or prosecutors tried very hard to investigate the incident. Speaking to Gawker today, Dooda says, “I’m shocked that there’s not anything illegal about what he did.” Dooda was allegedly dragged for four city blocks on the hood of Fox Newser Don Broderick ‘s car—which had New York Press license plates, owing to his status as a Fox News employee—two months ago after the two got into a traffic altercation.

Scientology’s Creepy New Uniforms

Want to work in one of Scientology‘s fresh new “Ideal Org” churches? Then get ready to put on your 20-piece uniform, mandatory for all cult staff. Planetary humanity is not going to be perfected by slobs, after all.

These uniforms are manufactured by some sort of magical logistics pipeline called a “conveyor belt” for the “Ideal Org,” a purportedly superior new type of church, according to International Scientology News. The uniform is intended to unite staff on “six continents” and help them look the part of “emissaries of a new civilization.”

The outfits were done by Richard Tyler, the Los Angeles-based designer to the stars and sometime Project Runway judge who fell on hard times in December 2005 after falling off a ladder at his South Pasadena home. They’d look at home in an Ian Shrager hotel, save perhaps for the capes. A tipster tells us all “Ideal Org” staff members must wear them; presumably this means the cult’s comical goons must finally give up their cheesy action-movie attire.
