Are you watching? Of course you are! And now that we’re into the top 10, I’ll hazard offering commentary. On last night’s show: Ramiele Malubay — 1987’s “Alone” by Heart Pitchy. Bland. Screechy. She was outsung by the backup singers and she has no stage presence. Her excuse is that her voice “went bye-bye.” She’s [...]

The Whine Sisters wish you a very happy Easter!  His Majesty and I will spend the day with family, watching assorted little ones hunt for Easter eggs and assorted bigger ones hunt for the wine glass that they set down for just a minute.  We’ll eat too much, laugh a lot and generally have a [...]

It’s the end of the birthday song (Happy birthday to you… and many more *jazz fingers*) and apparently it’s my new pseudonym. I believe I mentioned that I was asked to do a story for this Vampire collection of short stories to be published in the UK and here, available August 4? The editor sent [...]

It was a lovely birthday.  Hubot gave me a tank of gas….and a beautiful celtic charm bracelet.  I had a glass of wine, settled back and received the phone calls and e-cards from family and friends like I was queen, which, come to think of it, I am around here.  Self-annointed, but queen all the [...]

Hubot and I have noticed that there are very few houses in our neighborhood that recycle.  On St. Patrick’s Day, which has associated with it the image of the lovely green hills of Ireland, I thought it important to remind us all to be sure and be less wasteful and to preserve our green earth.  [...]

Okay, I don’t have to go into a long rant about why someone like this guy would feel the need for a high-dollar prostitute–or a low-dollar one for that matter.  Especially one who was going after prostitution rings like he was some virtuous knight.  We can all look at this loser and think ICK!  What [...]

There’s a race in Amsterdam that’s drawing worldwide attention. It’s called the Stiletto Run. Women race 380 yards in a minimum of three and a half inch heels for the honor of claiming victory, and the $15,000 prize. I freely admit that I am not woman enough to compete. I can walk in heels, on [...]

That’s what the email I got today from a stranger said, that the Whine Sisters’ blog had a lack of substance.  I pondered his email for a while, tempted to write back something pithy, like “What, you thought a blog written by three women who call themselves THE WHINE SISTERS would have profound insights into [...]

Did you know there was such a day? March 3, today’s the day. Grab a book and start reading. Of course, I recommend the Whine Sisters finest. Check the sidebar for some great recommendations. It’s also a great day to preorder some new books. I’m not sure I mentioned that I was invited to contribute [...]

Whiners to the rescue! I expressed some confusion over what to wear for jury duty. I ended up in basic black and my forest green parka (because it was two degrees, and it was cold enough in the jury room to keep it on- fashion be darned). But VB was looking out for me, and [...]
