A group that bills itself as the Marin Breastfeeding Coalition has started an unusual campaign in Marin County to get women to breastfeed their babies. In the next coming weeks, life-sized cardboard cutouts of woman breastfeeding will be put up across the North Bay, with cutouts of the making their debut this week at The Village shopping center in Corte Madera. (To check out images of the ads, go here and here.)

Sigh.

Snapped up by Octoferret, this bit of amber graffiti is also a spooky optical illusion!

Oh my.

Oh my. (Warning: audience participation will occur!) Starts at 7:30 p.m. at The Marsh; $10-15.

Last week's winner, the San Jose Metro. Alas! They haven't updated their site for this week yet, and we didn't manage to snag a hard copy of the paper, so they'll have to forfeit in the Weekly of the Week contest for the week.

About 24 hours after we posted about how the diesel lines were hidden from NextMuni's view, guess what happened? Muni blinked; someone flipped a switch; and now 32 additional lines have been added to the official site. You're welcome. Don't say we never did nothing for you.

-- Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers: Not only does this "Basie-esque" outfit perform lush jazz and blues tunes, but the chanteuse is pretty funny in between songs. Check them out tonight at 7 p.m. at the Top of the Mark, InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, One Nob Hill, (999 California); $10.

Self-consciously located on the none-to-glamorous Howard Street strip between Seventh and Eights Streets, yet close enough to downtown and its blue-glass splendor, Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters opened up yesterday (complete with a Breasts Not Bombs melee [NSFW]) for those of you who want to volunteer, get a "Hillary 4 Prez" poster or five, or gawk.

Spring is when we get busy here in the Ist-A-Verse. Very busy. But, after staying bundled-up indoors all winter, it's nice for us to be out, about, and collecting things to write about for you. Here's a glimpse at what's been keeping your favorite citybloggers busily away from home and out of bed.

Love, valor, compassion. We always wish our new year's resolutions were more altruistic, but year after year, our desire to look better "and sexier" tops the list . On January 1st we usually pledge to streamline our wardrobe, work out like a maniac and go on a possibly life threatening diet. So to start 2007 in style we decided to get rid of all of these resolutions in one fell swoop: a 5 minute 10 lbs slimming strategy, guaranteed to spice up our sex lives and please our inner diva, AKA a corset.

A complaint was filed against the San Mateo's Coroner office recently alleging inappropiate behavior and sexual harassment. That's in the coroner's office. The report claims that the San Mateo County Coroner, Robert Foucrault made jokes about one's orientation and engaged in sexual banter. The complaint also mentions as leading to the unhealthy environment "a life-sized skeleton decoration with breasts" and a "figurine of a naked woman draped with a veil on a birthday cake." Oh, and we can't forget about the alleged mooning. How could you forget about an alleged mooning? It's just like an episode of the "The Office" except in a mortuary and not a paper company.

They came in peace, they asked to be taken to our leader -- and it looks like our leader is online casino GoldenPalace.com.

Our friends down at LAist beat us to the punch with the emerging news on kinda crappy Bay Area artist Thomas Kinkade.

Oh, how we adore the Primitive Screwheads. Our first experience with them was at the final (sob) performance of their most glorious Evil Dead: Live, in which the guerilla (to wit: they rehearse in whatever unoccupied classrooms they can find at a local college, their props all seem to come from Mythbusters:The Home Version, and we're not really clear on their adherence to copyright law) theatre company brilliantly deconstructed the classic Sam Raimi trilogy as well as a host of other pop-culturalisms, spraying blood and body parts all the while.

SFist was recently contacted by local artist Alyssa Morgan, who had an interesting story to tell -- apparently, she had been contracted to provide art for the grand opening of John Colins, a new bar in SOMA. Throughout the creation process a member of the bar's ownership team viewed the art, but once delivered to the bar the art remained for only one evening.

Investigators have discovered that the fire that killed a fire captain in Los Gatos was caused by either a burning candle or incense stick used to celebrate Chinese New Year. The homeowners had been using the room as a prayer shrine, despite having previously been warned not to use the room at all after a previous fire had started in that same spot. The fire melted through a power line on the roof of the house, which then fell into a puddle of water, electrocuting the firefighter. Two female employees of Woodside's nonprofit Gorilla Foundation have sued the group and its president for sexual harassment. The employees claim that the president, Penny Patterson, informed them that Koko the signing gorilla, who is cared for by the Foundation, has a "nipple fetish" and pressured them on numerous occasions to take off their shirts and show Koko their breasts. Patterson is reported to have said to Koko, "Koko, you see my nipples all the time. You are probably bored with my nipples. You need to see new nipples. I will turn my back so Kendra can show you her nipples." In sign language. Patterson also allegedly informed the women that displaying their breasts to Koko was a "normal component to developing a personal bond with the gorilla." Koko should go on the Howard Stern show!

Postcards From Buster is about Buster's adventures travelling to real places and meeting real people. And no, we don't think it's because he should have made a left at Albuquerque, it's because he's trying to show all the kiddies out there all the different types of people and religions out there. Let's see Pokemon try and do that!

It's no big surprise when we here at SFist announce that craigslist has changed all of our lives in some way. Heck, it's even one of our interview questions: "I have found/sold/bought the following on craigslist:".
