Happy Halloween

Admitted!

I have health insurance! Yee haw!

It's Got the Booty Flava!

Found Magazine made a stop in my town this weekend and provided me an evening of bliss. I love piecing together the mysteries of old photos and scribble notes. Without any context, they are often hilarious and a bit squirmy... just as the one pictured.

My Favorite Gibb

I'm all into Andy Gibb today. I don't know what made me think about him.

He was 70's Bop cute, made a couple albums, did a shitload of coke, dated Victoria Principal, was on Punky Brewster and then he died.

I would bet that if I had famous older siblings in my field that I always had to compete against for love, attention and respect, that seeing myself in a purple satin jumpsuit singing "I Just Wanna Be (Your Everything)" on Solid Gold would drive me to drugs. In fact, only cocaine could help me make sense of that. I wouldn't believe a word anyone said I were sober.

I'd make an Amy Winehouse comment here but she would paddle across the Atlantic with a needle in her arm to kick my ass for comparing her to Andy Gibb.

I So Heart Flight of the Conchords

My introduction to Flight of the Conchords was making a snack at a friend's house a few months ago and hearing "OhGawd! You gotta see this!!!!" I walked into "Inner City Pressure"and was mesmerized. I watched the first 5 episodes, but I've run out of excuses to go to my cable dealer's house so I guess I have to wait until DVD.

I don't care if I'm aboard a crowded hipster bandwagon. I felt tired and way too impatient for my weekend to start this morning, so I watched "Tell Me Why" and all grouchiness and malaise instantly left my body. I hum "Business Time" when I'm getting dressed for a date. I tell people to be "Ab-So-Lute-ly outrageous" à la Bowie from the Ashes to Ashes video.

I love me some Bret and Jermaine.

Critical Efforts

Whee! Susie Bright posted my Honest Random Porn Review of Xana and Dax: When Opposites Attract!

Ugh, I think I am allergic to make-up. I developed this nagging eye infection after I tried my best Anouk Aimee look this weekend. Oh well, I got a cute picture out of it. That might be worth it.
