So modern day society says that women have to be a size 0 to be pretty. A size 6 is the new 2 and size 10 is plus size.
WHAT? Are we forgetting that the largest sex symbol of all time was a size 16? Marilyn Monroe — still held up as the epitome of beauty, style, elegance, and grace! So what I mean to say is that the leading sex symbol of all time if measured by today’s standards would be modeling for Layne Bryant instead of Playboy. Unreal. I don’t know how many times in the music and theater industry I have been told, “Lose a few pounds and you will be fantastic.”
“You will be fantastic if you lose a few pounds.”
Voice is fantastic — lose another 20 pounds and you will be golden.”
“We will cast you tomorrow if you lose 10 pounds.” Read More | Comments

AGGHH R.I.P. Guiding light. After 72 years and 20,000 episodes CBS has pulled one of the most historical shows in television. For those of you who don’t know it started in 1937 as a 15 minute radio segment on NBC and went to television on CBS in 1952. It leaves behind a legacy of over 5 dozen Emmy awards(Why it didn’t with this year I can’t know) but in any case as I was watching the last episode it really made me feel as though someone had been buried. Now I know that most people would say that soap operas are dull, unrealistic and stupid, my husband the first time he visited America and I was watching one had to start throwing things at the television screaming at an actress to stop whining and kill herself already, Read More | Comments -

No CommentsMALIBU FAMILY WINERY
Posted in: Events, General Musing, Music
OK, so first off Pleased Birthday to my excellent friend Mike Drolet.We went to Malibu wines for his b day party last night and I soooooooo recommend it. Its a bit hard to find and I was hating him a small as we were on the 101 from orange county for having his b day on a Friday but once you get on that Mullholland road all the stresses of LA life melt away and you are surrounded by trees and peace. It’s just a gorgeous drive and you get there and its this gorgeous open grassy area with tables and chairs and they have wine tasting and you bring your own food and buy a bottle of wine for around 20 dollars and you have a whole night. It would cost you about 20 bucks a drink if you went out anywhere else in LA. Read More | Comments

No CommentsWell I made it through the rain or storm…
…I should say my Barry Manilow concert in Rancho Cucamonga last friday and I reckon we have booked some casinos. One of them is next to a prison apparently so you have to go through security to get in. I was wondering if they let the prisoners out to gamble. Probably do being as though they get acupuncture and cable.
Speaking of casino’s, Gavin and I found a fantastic one in Warner Springs, it was hilarious, super small and had a $4.95 prime rib special. Of course we went there on my birthday and the restaurant was already closed so we wound up eating cold hot dogs and nachos with chemical cheese at the bar, pleased birthday to me! At least the nice lady at the bar carded us and couldn’t believe we were as ancient as we are.
Warner springs was awesome though, Gavin found pics of my grandfather when he was ten years ancient hunting in Warner Springs, he had a rifle in one hand, a handful of rabbits in the other and a big smile on his face. Crazy right? I guess we followed in his footsteps because Gavin ran over flopsy by accident. He really didn’t mean to, I mean this is the guy who had two spiders in a jar and one ate the other one before he could set them free so he set the other one free telling him to reckon about what he had done. He is kinda buddist that way. So we thought we blew out a tire and when Gavin got back in the car he had a kinda pale look on his face Read More | Comments
