The search for a missing college student has turned into a homicide investigation after her body was apparently found. One thing I have noticed over the last 24 hours is that the main stream media is starting to refer to Emily Sander/Zoey Zane as an ‘Internet Porn Performer’ rather than a ‘Porn Star’ (or poan stah depending on who you are talking to ). That’s probably a good thing a tiny bit closer to the truth. The truth is that she had done some photographs on the Internet to make money. Nothing I would even consider porn except in the most prudish manner. Nekked pictures are nothing to get all hot and bothered over, at least in this sense.

All police are saying is that the preliminary physical description of the body found Thursday about 50 miles east of El Dorado matches that of Emily Sander who was seen leaving a bar there a week ago with a man who stayed in a hotel room where police apparently found large quantities of blood. An autopsy was scheduled for yesterday but I have as yet to hear the final results from that.

They also won’t give any details about the state of the body or how it was found. El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren said that the cause of death was not yet known.

The case itself has drawn very wide attention after it was revealed that she appeared on several different web sites under the name Zoey Zane. Most of the pictures just show her scantily clad or fondling herself. Hell, what’s wrong with fondling yourself. If I could do it and get paid for it, I might have a new career myself, but hopefully not as a dead person.

I digress. Emily Sander’s boyfriend, who is 20, said that Sander moved in with him when she was 17. He helped her finish high school and she encouraged him in college. They broke up just two months ago after she started doing the nude photos.

Emily wanted to choreograph music videos and the Internet thing was just to gain a bit of exposure and make some extra money.

All of our condolences go out to the Sander family as they have to deal with this tragedy.

So have you read about Gillian Gibbons yet? She is a teacher in Sudan at a private school popular with wealthy Sudanese and expatriates and for a school project in which she was teaching about animals and their habits she had a stuffed bear which she asked the students to name. The decided on Mohammed, most likely in honor of their prophet. The Sudanese government and it’s shitheel citizens don’t agree however and some of them even want her executed. WTF? Execute her because her class named a stuffed bear Mohammed?

Leaflets distributed earlier this week by Muslim groups condemned Gibbons as being an infidel and accused her of polluting their children’s mentality by her actions. I guess had she been teaching them how to make bomb vests they would have given her a medal…

One of the things we discussed in our five hour meeting on Thursday evening (can’t get enough of those!) was Christmas decorations in the stores. I am going to have to make sure that my managers follow our instructions over the next couple of weeks and pull down anything that isn’t appropriate. With the fact that our kitchens are right out there in the open we have to be very careful as to what gets hung up. No lighting strung from weird places, no garland, etc…They are allowed to put window clings on the globe lights but NOT on the windows, and a small tree is acceptable. I already know one of the managers has gone out and spent $60 on a tree that’s taking up way too much room in her store. I am interested in seeing if they make her take it out.

I figured we could get a table top tree for each of my stores and put it on the utility cart out by the jukebox and just put a larger skirt or tablecloth on it to cover the cart. That way it’s not in the way and not likely for anyone to trip over and hurt themselves.
