Beatles Photo of the Week: Happy New Year, Sort Of!
LIZ: One Sunday night a few months ago I was walking down Ventura Boulevard and some frame store had this photo displayed in the window. So I took a picture of the picture, and then I emailed Laura and said "Isn't this the most?" and she said yeah and now we think about that photo all the time. This pic's from the same shoot and in some ways it's just as good, the number-one way being that Paul is so terribly horribly handsome. It must have been so groovy for Linda Eastman to be all, "I'm a damn crackerjack Beatles photographer, and my boyfriend is The Most Beautiful Boyfriend In All The Land!" I'm really happy for her, and only three percent jealous. Bully for you, Lovely Linda.
Anyway, when you Google "Beatles New Year," this is one of the first image results; no clue why. I'm also in the dark as to what's going on with Paul's scarf-y tie-y thing, but I wholeheartedly give it three thumbs-up, in a George + John kind of way. And I'm equally confused by what's happening with John's pants, but I basically never want to talk about John's pants as long as I live, so please don't ever make me. Happy new year!
LJ: Today is the second day of the decade, and I am listening to "Besame Mucho" on an iTunes playlist named "My Thai Beatles," which is the most important Beatles playlist I've ever made. One of my big goals for this decade is to open up a chain of Beatles-themed Thai restaurants called "My Thai Beatles" with Elizabeth Barker, but that's neither here nor there, though, by 2017, I "imagine" it'll be just about everywhere. The coolest thing about it being 2010 is that 2010 marks the ten-year anniversary of my falling madly in love with the Beatles, which is strange, because being madly in love with the Beatles still feels very new to me, which I guess is how I know this love is true.
The second-coolest thing about it being 2010 is that on the second day of 2010 (today), I went to the Holy Grail of liquor stores, where I found "something" I thought was lost to me forever: four-packs of mini-bottles of Spumante Bambino, which is fizzy white wine that tastes like grape juice, only it gets you drunk, in a very special way. I just drank one, and I've never felt so goddamned awesome "in my life." The third-coolest thing about it being 2010 is that now I'm the John Lennon of 2010, and, being the John Lennon of 2010, "I'm down" to talk about filthy, controversial shit, like John Lennon's pants in this week's Beatles Photo of the Week. Basically, it looks like there's a sack of bagpipes hanging in front of John Lennon's junk. So there you go, World. A sack of bagpipes hanging in front of John Lennon's junk. Happy Goo Year!!!

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."

Coconut Spumante would be so delicious. I want to be meet the person who'd be Coconut Spumante if they were a drink.
In other news, I forgot to rank their hotnesses! John looks facially beautiful, Paul looks like Adrian Grenier, Ringo is rocking his "tot gopher" thing, and George looks less hot than usual. Kind of "dad"-esque
