What I don't want...

I do NOT want to be a "Red Hat Lady"! No offense to those wonderful women who are a part of that organization. And to be honest I really did like the poem that inspired them:

The Red Hat Society takes its name from the opening lines of the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph, which starts:

“When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me.”

But here's the deal - I liked the poem because it was about NOT conforming...not being like everyone else. And now with all the "Red Hat" clubs and gimmicks and kitsch...everyone IS conforming and like everyone else.

So I do NOT want to be a red hat lady.

Correction

Okay I have a correction and story: Once upon a time my husband took me to a concert...a week early. Yes we had a great selection of seating which was good especially because I was eight months pregnant at the time and it was the middle of the summer!!! And to avoid parking problems we had taken the bus - all in all a comfortable rewarding experience - NOT!

Now on to why that is a relevant story today - when my husband started inquiring with our friends about the Spamalot tickets he told everyone it was on March 7th...then found out it was the 14th...NOW reality sets in - the show is actually March 21st. (Yes I went to the venue's website to make sure this time!) So NEXT week on Friday we will be attending Spamalot!

Bravo SNL - You're Fierce!

Okay, I have to admit - I've been addicted to Bravo reality for the past couple of years - Top Chef, Top Design,and my fav Project Runway. Last season's Project Runway was the ultimate for me...I'm not usually a reality fan but for some reason I love Bravo - (this season's left a lot to be desired - picked the winner right away, was pretty obvious.) I loved Project Runway so much that we drove around NYC looking for Parson's design school - and imagine how happy I was to walk past the window at Macy's and there was Jeffrey's collection from the finale of Project Runway! (I know - pathetic but I loved it!)



So I came across this clip from SNL this morning and laughed out loud watching it - if you have seen Project Runway you will totally understand this. Bravo SNL!

Blah blah blah

I know I haven't posted for a while - not much really new. Work is work, everyone is overworked and underpaid. (Well almost everyone - there are a few that are the other way around).

A couple of weeks ago Jeff and I were talking about Playboy of all things. That is one of the things I love so much about my husband - in our marriage we talk about all sorts of things, including Playboy. I have never seen anything wrong with "adult" magazines, or any other "adult" media. What adults do is their business... but back to the Playboy conversation. I have always loved the little Femlin character on the Jokes page (the back side of the centerfold for those of you who never made it past the center!) With just a few lines the artist managed to create a character who was a sexy, mischievous little scamp. Turns out Jeff always loved her too so we decided to start collecting Femlin items. It actually amazed me how many items there were available - so we've already got quite a start on our collection. Including a book signed by the artist celebrating her 50 years. I believe she looks pretty good for a gal who's over 50!



On Friday night we will be going to see Spamalot - based on Monty Python's Holy Grail. We saw this play last year when it came to Tampa and really enjoyed it - so much so that we thought several of our friends would enjoy it too. We were very happy to see that it was coming back to the area. We will be attending with many of those friends - unfortunately some friends are unable to make it but it should be a great time. I grew up watching Monty Python with my Dad (an activity my Mom wasn't exactly fond of!) so needless to say I can't wait until Friday to see this again!



Dingo: You must spank her well, and after you are done with her, you may deal with her as you like... and then... spank me.
All: And me. And me too. And me.
Dingo: Yes. Yes, you must give us all a good spanking.
Dingo: And after the spanking, the oral sex.
Galahad: Well, I could stay a bit longer...
