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.
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.

About Me
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 nephew is three. He’s hilarious. The one and only thing that would make my brother and sister-in-law better parents is if they taught him to speak strictly in a British accent. (Because is there anything better than a kid who talks with a British accent? No. There isn’t.)
My brother is teaching my nephew the important things in life, though, like how to quote television shows. Currently the focus is on one of our favorites, Extras. “Are you havin’ a laugh?” and “Yumma yumma yumma” are now a regular part of the kid’s vernacular. But like all three year olds, Alex participates in parroting quotes only when he wants to parrot quotes. This was the email I received from my brother yesterday:
JIM: Are you havin’ a laugh? ARE YOU HAVIN’ A LAUGH?
ALEX: NO DAAAAAAAAAADDY! I’m not having a laugh. I don’t have to have a laugh.
Is it true that your cats “meow” with a British accent?
