The woman starring in this little number is named Brenda Dickson. She was on the Young and the Restless in the 80s and was fired in 1988. I have no idea who she is or why she's famous now, but this little video compelled me to blog for the first time in a while. It confuses me because it says it's a trailer for her 2009 home review, but clearly it was filmed in the 80s. You may ask yourself how I deduced this. Besides the most awesome outfits ever, this is what she looks like now in a non-photoshopped image from daytime Emmys recently:
Gavin Hyatt, 30, explained that the lump forced its way out after lying inside his abdomen since he was born.
Medics said the 4cm growth was a parasitic twin that died in the womb early in their mother's pregnancy.
Mr Hyatt, a former firefighter, from Witney, Oxfordshire, said: "Four hospital doctors had previously examined me and were all puzzled by the lump.
"Some thought it was a cyst, others an in-grown hair.
"Then one said it could be my undeveloped identical twin that I absorbed at a very early stage. I feel absolutely fine now but it has not sunk in yet that I could have had a twin brother. I have him in a jar at home and I call him little Gav. I haven't told many people. I feel like a bit of a freak."
Mr Hyatt, who has four children with his wife Kate, spent a week in and out of hospital after making an emergency appointment with the GP.
An operation at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital was cancelled at the last minute and he went home. But later he felt a stabbing pain near his belly button. Lifting his shirt, he saw he was bleeding as the lump pushed through the skin. At that point he drove himself to his local surgery.
His GP Dr Joe Santos, told The Sun: "It was like something from Alien. I didn't believe Gavin when he said something was coming out of his belly button until I saw him."
Um, I think if I kept my twin that purged itself from my body I probably wouldn't keep it in a jar on a shelf. Or maybe I would and get it a little tophat and cane. Or I'd bury my mini-freak and have a little rite of some sort. Either way, this guy definitely qualifies as a freak. Sorry dude. He is. This doesn't happen to normal people.
Really thinking about it, the twin travelled for 30 freaking years to reach the surface! That is a boring life. I wonder if it felt all the emotions of the guy. Lived the man's life with him. Loved the same loves. There to pick him up when he fell down.
I'm getting carried away.
