I’m putting my blog timeline out of whack with this post but I have to share this fabulousness with the world.  Tuesday’s trip back to Boulder was a tough one. First, to prepare for the snowstorm that was hitting Denver (and because they wouldn’t fit in my carry-on and I refuse to pay baggage fees) I was in Atlanta’s 85 degree heat wearing wool socks and a winter fleece. Next, I arrived at the airport just as the tornadoes were pummeling Texas so all air traffic was thrown into a tailspin and flights out of Atlanta were rescheduled with crazy long delays. Lastly, and others clearly agreed so don’t go thinking I’m the bitch here, there was a rather large number of shitty little kids and their screaming mothers waiting to board the flight. Needless to say the vibe at the airport was punchy.

So about 20 min into our two hour delay, Vanilla Kanye Ice shows up wearing his double hats with a pair of sunglasses ’round back and walking with a swag designed to make his Oh-limpic chain swing from pit to pit…oh it gets better!

In Honor Of International Women’s Day

Seldom do I let the language of idiots get to me (a change in recent years) but Rush’s latest comments followed by the GOP’s “That’s not how I would have said it” response has me flabbergasted by my fellowman. I’ve been trying to sum up my thoughts with regards to this happening a week prior to International Women’s Day but Jon Stewart beat me to the punch.

How To Be A Motion Picture Director

"How To Be A Motion Picture Director" an interview with Marshall Neilan in the July, 1925 Issue of Photo Play, photo via Spectacular Attractions

Imagine trying to wrangle the person Marshall Neilan is describing and you have 18+ years of my life.  I’m not going to lie, this is seriously a fun person to be around but at the same time trying to get the work done pretty much BLOWS!

The Diva of all Divas, Whitney Houston Dies At The Age Of 48

Americana, Chris is rolling his eyes, Friends, Sisters, Things I love

Whitney HoustonFor those of us who grew up blasting cassettes of Whitney’s love pop while stalking high school crushes in the old family station wagon, this is a very sad day.

As the original counselor of Girl Power, Whitney inspired us to love ourselves… and to wear white tank-tops with acid-wash jeans in an effort to attract the attention of crushes.  She was an amazing singer but what I most appreciate about Whitney is the fact that she looked hot using dance moves white girls could perfect. The “Jump and Clap” and “The Stop.. Now Walk The Other Way” were game changers that gave those of us without rhythm a little something to show off at the high school dances.

In honor of the Diva of all Divas, a living room dance party just for you!

Rest in peace, Whitney Houston… you were truly the greatest!!!
