This Week in Fashion

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Rihanna stars in the Prison Break spinoff, Escape from Romper Room. Thank goodness she only broke both ankles in her daring bust out of the nursery. Selma Blair found a formal onesie, Fembot Tuxedo Style, for the premiere of her movie, Hellboy II. But she scores bonus points for having great hair. Keri Hilton, an [...]

But Can They Sing

by Kathleen Givens

< I was thinking about significant things today, like Sherri’s post last week (scroll down) about Celebrity Families and their contributions to our society.  Which led me to remembering some other celebrity families, like the Osmond Family and The Partridge Family.  They’re all pretty much the same, aren’t they? Wholesome and loving (some even videotape [...]

We’ll Miss You, George

by Kathleen Givens

The following is an email being sent around the web.  I have no idea if George Carlin wrote this, but it sure sounds like him.  Be sure to read all the way to end for a typical George Carlin touch.  We’ll miss you, George! *********************** A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time [...]

Celebrity Families

by Sherri Browning Erwin
wink

That could kindly disappear.  If we could vote to send one celebrity family into permanent obscurity, which would it be? My nominations: 5. The Lohans. Sure, Lindsay can act, but do we need to see the whole family? In a reality show? (Living Lohan- featuring mom and the younger two siblings trying to ride Lindsay’s [...]

My Achy Breaky Hair

by Sherri Browning Erwin

It’s not easy being Billy Ray. Especially now that his teen daughter has eclipsed him. One of us watches that Country Star Idol show (guess who- good money goes on the Texan) and happened to mention Billy Ray, which reminded me of the idea to have a Billy Ray Hair Retrospective. Apparently, facial hair in [...]

It’s Not Easy Being Blonde

by Sherri Browning Erwin

My favorite blonde joke? A dark-haired man in a bar had a few and began to tell his buddy a blonde joke. The woman seated near him, a blonde, overheard and interrupted. “Excuse me, sir. Before you go any further, let me point out that the bartender is blond. The bouncer is blond. The big [...]

Its Not Easy Being Green

by Julia London

And Kath, Sherri and I are about as green as it gets when it comes to behind the scenes machinations of this blog.  We have been having trouble getting into our site and uploading things for the last few weeks, and our posting has slowed down a little because of it.  We are working on [...]

WOO-HOO!  I have a new website!

by Julia London
grin

After weeks of working out the bugs and trying new things and then having to let them go, I finally have a new website.  This one has an integrated message board (if you registered on the old one, you’ll have to re-register on this one), and JuliaTube, which I think is going to be a [...]

Right On, Maude!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Funny parody of Sex and the City. It will take five minutes of your time, but you might get some laughs out of it. If you don’t have five minutes, it’s worth the first few seconds just to see Bea Arthur as Carrie Bradshaw. Inspired! Share this:

Happy Father’s Day!

by Kathleen Givens

Here’s to all the great fathers out there, who do it right, who take care of their families and make the world a better place.  Here’s to His Majesty and Mr. Right and Hubot, who make it look easy.  My dad has been gone for 15 years, but I think of him often.  He was [...]

Tell Me Something Good

by Kathleen Givens
image

I mean it!  Tim Russet’s gone, there’s tragedy in Iowa, gas prices are still rising, there’s no money in the borrowing pipeline, the war is still raging, and I cannot even have a slice of tomato on my sandwich!  I’ve had it. Tell me something good.  Anything.  I’ll go first.  Last night’s sunset was gorgeous.  [...]

Which One Is It?

by Kathleen Givens

A recent survey found that 25% of the adults in New York City has herpes, an easily transmitted STD.  Let’s see, one out of four.  Sexually active adults.  Hmmm.  Can you think of four people who might fit that description?  Me either.  Oh, wait.  Maybe this group.  So which one is it? Share this:

What Am I Missing?

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

Let’s start by saying there’s a lot I don’t understand. I’m blonde! (Okay, I don’t get why that makes me any less intelligent, but I like to use it as an excuse on occasion). But here are five things that I do not get: 1) Hummers. They’re not exactly designed for personal comfort or for [...]

Where Are They?

by Julia London

The Whine Sisters have been kind of quiet lately.  Anyone know where they are?  Sometimes life intervenes…well, all the time, life intervenes….but maybe its time we all checked in and gave a whiny shout out to each other. Okay, I’m here, back in the saddle.  I had a ton of appointments last week, had family [...]

Play a Game, Feed a Child

by Sherri Browning Erwin

My son just emerged from his quarters– as seventeen-year-olds are wont to do from time to time, usually when they’re hungry– to tell me to check out a website: http://www.freerice.com. It’s a fun word game to test your mad skills with vocabulary, sponsored by the UN. The more you guess correctly, the more grains of [...]

Bad Moon Rising

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

I confess that I’ve never mooned anyone. I’m too reserved to flash my behind. And a good thing, because one never knows what could go wrong. A new AP report from the Netherlands says that three young men were running through the Utrecht streets with their pants down, having a joke, when one of the [...]

Happy Birthday, VB!!

by Julia London

She hasn’t lost a bit of that big prairie charm.  She looks as good or better than she did back in the day (although i do have a great picture of her in pigtails that I routinely hold up as ransom to bend to my demands).  She’s still the same girly I’ve known a million [...]

What’s Your Perfect Dog?  Well, What’s Your Sign?

by Kathleen Givens

At last, a way for you to pick the perfect dog!  The National Pet Month organization in the UK has done some investigation about that nation’s pet buying trends.  According to their study, some astrolgoical signs consistently choose some breeds.  The most popular dog in the UK is the Labrador.  Labradors, it turns out, are [...]
