Applause to Julia London! Highland Scandal is a New York Times, USAToday, and Borders bestseller. I probably missed a few lists in there, Publisher’s Weekly? But whatever. We get it. Julia London strikes again, and she’s a big deal! Congratulations, Julia! Now go get your copy, or what will you talk about while all your [...]

Swine Flu.  I have it—do you?

by Julia London

I am a hypochondriac.  Every little weird ache or pain is a symptom of something much larger.  I have diagnosed myself with traveling brain tumors, adrenal gland failure, and yes, even bi-polar disorder.  So it’s only natural when a new villain comes to town, I start exhibiting symptoms.  It really should be no joking matter, [...]

Summer Skin: Time to Go Bare!

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

I mean, to bare your faces. Time to go for less makeup. What did you think I meant? The Whine Sisters aren’t big on showing skin (except for Julia London, when she wears her overall shorts). I have super-sensitive skin. In fact, I’ve been covered in a rash for weeks, allergic to my laundry detergent. [...]

Monday Mornings

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

Time to get cracking! It’s so hard to get back on track after a week of vacation. Last week, the kids had spring break so we all took time to play. And sleep late. And eat badly. And skip the gym. Now it’s Monday morning and we’re all having trouble getting back on track around [...]

Tribute: Bea Arthur

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

Sad news on a Saturday! I just heard that Bea Arthur has passed away at age 86 from cancer complications. I doubt she appreciated whiners, but the Whine Sisters sure appreciated Bea– especially after her Sex and the City parody. What a sense of humor! What a loss. Condolences to friends, family, and fans of [...]

While Sherri is Away…

by Julia London

I don’t want her to think that we’ve done nothing but talk about ME and MY BOOK which just went on sale YESTERDAY.  I’ve been keeping up with all the celebrity news!  I didn’t know if I should go with Lindsey Lohan, Miss California’s answer to gay marriage, or this…Michael Jackson in a bizarre outfit, [...]

Welcoming Bobama

by Kathleen Givens
image

At last, the wait is over!  Bo has arrived in the White House.  Yawn.  I love dogs.  I really do.  But honestly, I do not want to hear another word about the dog decision that two little girls made.  For Pete’s sake, people, lay off these folks.  Yes, Obama said they would choose a rescue [...]

Correspondence: The Lost Art

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

No one writes letters anymore. We have email, text messages, telephone, all conveniences in this age of instant gratification. People have even taken to shortening two and three letter words! That’s how ridiculously fast we want to communicate. I won’t do it. I’m a slow texter because I insist on taking my time and getting [...]

Rabbit Tales

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

I had a lovely Easter brunch with family, and now I’m stuffed after attacking the food (here I am, pictured in action).  I was at the carving station waiting for a slice of baked ham when I overheard a conversation from a nearby table. The people at the table were very upset that the restaurant [...]

That’s right, KC’s birthday falls on Easter this year.  This calls for Bunny Cake! I hope you have a fantastic and very happy birthday, KC. Easter. Used to be one of my favorite holidays. Bunnies were involved, and that food of the gods, jelly beans- and chocolate, and marshmallow peeps. What could be better? I [...]

Sometimes It Just Has to Be Said

by Kathleen Givens
image

Yes, I know Easter is supposed to be a time of reflection and joy, but some people just beg for this kind of comment.  I think Miley’s cover shot is a perfect example of a deserving someone.  Her hair looks horrible!  Lady Gaga (aka Lady Gag Me) is another excellent candidate, but I would so [...]

Glamour-ous and Idol Thoughts

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

While other magazines, gossip rags, movies, and TV shows are celebrating the mature woman and calling 40 the new 20, Glamour is putting 16-year-olds on the cover. Fantastic. Newsflash for Glamour: there’s nothing glam about being sixteen. I know sixteen. My daughter is sixteen. Glamour and sixteen don’t go together. I want to read about [...]
