Hey, Jocelyn Kirsch is in the news again, and Philly.com has it on the front page. Whee! This time, it’s the Inquirer who has the goods: Apparently, prosecutors will seek a revocation of her bail, sending her to jail.
Kirsch, 22, the sometimes-violet-eyed beauty who captivated an international audience once tantalizing photos of her on vacation hit the Internet, had been scheduled to plead guilty this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia.
But last night, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said that the plea hearing would be rescheduled and that a detention hearing would be held instead.
“The government will move to detain her,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Louis D. Lappen, who declined to elaborate last night about the underlying reason for the detention request.
There’s also a poll asking how long Kirsch should go to jail for; “More than 15 years” is currently leading.

Okay, I haven’t posted a puppy photo in a while, unless you count yesterday, and I don’t. There is absolutely nothing in the world going on today unless you care about Pakistan. Not only do I not really care about that story, it doesn’t really fit on this blog so I get to ignore it. Hooray!

NBC 10 reported yesterday that a Victoria’s Secret in the Cumberland Mall was robbed! Of 50 pairs of panties! And it’s the second robbery this year!
Yes, an everyday mall robbery made the news because feminine undergarments were taken, and NBC 10 could interview random people in the mall.
Shoppers here have their own theories about why someone would steal all that underwear, NBC 10’s Ted Greenberg reported.
“They sell them on the street. People who need them can get them,” Hunter said.
“Someone has a fetish, maybe,” suggested Castro.
“I think it’s crazy, you know,” said Davis. “Get a job. Buy the stuff you need. Don’t steal it. Everybody else suffers in the long run because the prices go up.”
Shit. Fetish-crazed panty stealers are going to sell Victoria’s Secret merchandise on the street and we’ll have to pay more for it later on!

Here’s a story about a dude who makes those memorial shirts at The Gallery. No, really: Here’s a story about a dude who makes those memorial shirts at The Gallery.
“A lot of the kids who come in to get shirts are under 21,” said Sam Do, 21, another attendant at Personalized Tees in the Gallery. “We put together collages of different moments and that seems to spark memories of better days. A lot of times they start to cry.”
It takes less than 15 minutes for images to go from picture frame to garment. Typically the cost is $15. Do takes a picture, places it on a scanner and the image pops on to his computer screen in seconds. From there he gets customers to write the tribute they want. He chooses the fonts and style and approves it before printing out an iron-on transfer.
The transfer is centered on the shirt or other garment and put into a hot press, all crammed into his kiosk. Moments later he pulls a shirt hot off the press, finished and ready to go.
Do said they almost always are able to satisfy customers. Almost.
“One guy wanted me to print a shirt dissing (disrespecting) a dead guy and I wouldn’t do it, Do said. “I refused to do it. It was something negative to someone who died.”
It’s good to know there are some people left with morals in the world. So what if they’re t-shirt cart workers?
