ZOMG, you just brought back such a vivid memory… I used to spend weeks at a time at my cousins’ house in rural Illinois, and they had a set of shitty plastic Dukes of Hazzard binoculars; we used to hang off the big metal swingset and look through the binocs and be all “YOU GUYS, IT’S BO AND LUKE COMING TO SAVE US!” And my cousin Sandy and I would end up in fistfights over who got to be saved by the cute one (I don’t remember anymore who we thought was the cute one).

HA! That would be the best name for a band. Also, I think my brother had that pillowcase, but I know for sure he did NOT have the washing mitt. That’s just wrong!

Oh, I just saw an episode of The Graham Norton Show (a rerun, I’m pretty sure) where he had Bo, Luke, and Daisy (only with, you know, real names) on talking about the show and life after the show, etc. He had some superfans (apparently it was just as popular in Europe. Who knew?) on and a couple of them showed off their collections of stuff. (One of them had this guitar, still in the packaging.) Apparently, not only did they put “Daisy Duke’s heaving bosoms” on guitars they were also on a pillowcase and a “washing mitt.” So, Daisy was on a washcloth that goes over your hand like a glove. Yeah, you see where I’m going with this.
Also, when I start a band, I’m calling it Daisy Duke’s Heaving Bosoms.

Oh girl, I cannot believe they didn’t go buck wild with this challenge. Hell, half of Chris March’s designs last season would have been better suited for this episode than half the stuff these designers put out. Why they didn’t go balls to the wall with this one is beyond me.
Also, how awesome was it when Ru Paul put Keith in his place? He is so getting on my nerves.
I can’t believe I have to go back on Monday!

Re: Keith and Kenley’s drag queen designs, who on earth is so uncreative that in their heads, drag queen = Cruella DeVille? I have used a sewing machine exactly one time in my life, but if someone gave me this task, I’d be THA-RILLED. I’d pull out every yard of iridescent Dupioni silk I could get my hands on and go to TOWN.
vegan. teacher. opinionated. loves books, shoes, hanson, ‘the amazing race’, the 80s, ‘waiting for guffman’, mid-afternoon naps, musicals and breakfast cereal. four cats. one redhead. hi.
I don’t think I can say it enough. I love Ikea. With the exception of about three things, our entire house is has been furnished by the good company of Sweden. Some of my favorite new purchases include this lamp and these chairs. In red, of course.
I bought this book: Beginning CSS Web Development: From Novice to Professional by Simon Collison with a gift card over the summer. It’s fantastic! I am a complete novice with this sort of thing, but I’m learning quickly thanks to this book. Thanks to Collison, I’ll never forget to top center my background image again.
If you like playing with color and color palettes, you’ll love this site - Colour Lovers. I’m playing with a blog redesign right now and it’s the perfect place to create a palette. Fun!
My friend Chel’s Gus and Stuff website and blog. “It’s all about being creative.”
Watch Penn Jillette share his thoughts on topics from Garth Brooks to atheism to freedom fighting princesses. Excellent stuff, here.
I finally got around to watching Dreamgirls yesterday. Ooooooooh my goodness. Jennifer Hudson totally deserved that Oscar. Brilliant.
I am particularly addicted to You Are What You Eat at the moment. I’m especially fascinated by the whole kebab thing.
Snowed In is my favorite Christmas CD. It’s Hanson. Enough said.
Dear American Idol,
I hate you.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Also, I must agree.
See, this? Is why McCartney resisted surrendering the rights to his songbook to AI for so long. I think his bitter divorce struggle must have clouded his judgment.
and hate is such a strong word.
I can’t believe they let it happen two weeks in a row…
