Michael Jackson, THIS IS IT

Well, growing up in the 70’s made this Girly Girl a huge Jackson fan and being the disco Queen that I was, Michael Jackson surely was a favorite!  I am a vocalist so I was always singing and dancing to his many hits.  I think I still have a couple of cassettes around!

I watched, well listened to this link for This Is It and I was blown away.  The voice sounds like the Michael from 15-20 years ago….so much so that I had to listen.  It is almost like he never left.

I know some of you have controversial views about MJ, but I really like his music and have for a very long time.  America has truly lost a very important and talented piece of our musical history.  Rest in peace Michael Jackson and my God bless your children!

And in ABC’s The Bachelor news, well all I can say is YES, YES and another YES!  I thought Jillian was a fool for sending Jake Pavelka

The Bachelor, Jake Pavelka

 home but I suppose it all turned out well for her and Ed.  I liked Jake from the first moment I layed eyes on him…..oops…… I mean saw him in the introductions, fresh from the first limo ride.  This Girly Girl sure appreciates a fine young man who is respecful, gentlemanly and a little bit of eye candy!  I am now glad that Jillian didn’t pick him because I ….WE will get to look at him for many more episodes of the Bachelor.

 

To my beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, single daughter, Gabrielle Howard….did you ever contact ABC like I told you to?

And it  looks like this coming January in Saginaw, Michigan will display temperatures a little warmer than normal.  Talk about melting some snow!!  Al Gore has it all wrong, this global warming is all due to the airing of  The Bachelor during the peak winter months!  But then again, how in the world would he know!  Are all my Girly Girls going to watch with me?

I found this on the internet and had to pass it along….ENJOY!

A Pasadena, Texas, woman outdid the rabbit scene in Fatal Attraction by stealing her ex’s pet goldfish, frying them up in a pan, and eating them.

Murderer!

The fight that led up to the non-vegetarian revengefest was apparently over some jewelry that the unnamed man had once given the anonymous fish murderess, and had then taken back. After unsuccessfully confronting her ex, the woman went to his apartment, took the goldfish and brought them home for the most furious fish fry in the history of the world.

By the time the police made it to her place, she had already eaten three of the goldfish, which left four tiny fried fish carcasses sitting on her plate.  She couldn’t have been very hungry, though, after the huge plate of crazy she ate for breakfast.

I am so pleased to tell you about my piece for this issue of the Fashion Plate for the Review Magazine.  It is titled Pigskin and Paper Roses and is a piece about Homecoming. 

The Fashion Plate

Thanks to our models Fawn and Drake for taking part in the photo shoot and my gifted and talented husband David for the magnificent photos.  We even made the front cover and they are saying that all of the photos from  the shoot may end up on their website!  Let me tell all you Girly Girls, that is exciting!  Also a big thanks to Robert for this incredible opportunity!  Check out the Review Magazine and the special insert of the Fashion Plate available at different locations in Saginaw and around Saginaw County.  Get them before they are gone!

So is it me or does watching Jillian Harris pick Wes every week get on your nerves also?!

Jillian Harris

Now I will be the first to admit that having all those men at my disposal would have seemed like a fantasy come true (back in my dating days).  And yes, I am addicted to the Bachelor and Bachelorette on ABC and have been since the first show.  This is the first season, however that I always end up actually shouting at my screen at every rose ceremony when I think she will finally see Wes for who he really is and send him packing.

And then I sit and wonder…..do they edit the show this way?  I am sure that has a lot to do with it, but I think that Jillian really likes this guy and that is why she keeps him around.  I reflect on my dating days and remember when I would go to Clay Walker concerts with my friends.  It seemed when I returned home that evening, I would dream about how some handsome country crooner plucked me out of the audience and sang a song to me and we fell in love and lived happily ever after.  No wonder I never wanted to get up in the morning!!  And then there were the BAD guys that I dated thinking that would be fun and it always ended up being a nightmare.  Bad guys are always a bad choice.  Hopefully Jillian will figure out soon that Wes is only there for shameless self promotion.  That is all fine, Wes, unless you stand the chance to break someones heart.  In that case, you become a piece of brown smelly stuff stuck to the bottom of your cowboy boot!

So Jillian, learn from this Girly Girl…….go for the good guys.  As much as I love a country musician, dump that two-timin’ Wes and stick with the Kiptyn’s of the world.

Ever the old fashioned romantic!  Debra

So metallics are back in the news.  Just take a peek at this recent picture of Girly Girl Jennifer Aniston

Metallic dress

rockin’ the red carpet at the 2009 Women in Film Awards.

Why are we enamored with Metallics?  Take a walk back in time and see how metallic fabrics were used……mostly to signify royalty!  They were the only ones who could afford them, after all.  That is what makes metallics so popular; you feel like a million bucks in them!!  Once reserved for the higher echelon of society; thanks to textile mills, now many can look glamorous for smaller amounts of money.

SO don’t be shy…go get something metallic and show the world you are not afraid to look beautiful!

God Bless Joe the Plumber from Holland Ohio who inadvertently became a national spokesman for all of us Girly Girls and all of America when he simply asked a question of Sinister Osama….oops, I mean Senator Obama.

Little did Joe, or Samuel J. Wurzelbacher (his given name), know that he would end up the victim of the media and their attempts to smear him.  They are sifting through his background, declaring he is not a real plumber and that he is some sort of bad person because he is divorced and owes taxes?!  WHAT?  That is what happens to many middle class Americans who get divorced….they go through rough times financially.  Who doesn’t know that?  Should he just have taken a page from Bill Ayers and bombed his ex into giving him everything so he could walk away financially set?!

Poor Joe, he just wanted the truth from a person who claims to have all of our best interests at heart and instead he has become a victim of those who are attempting to squash him in the name of Democracy.  Is this the “CHANGE HE NEEDS” from Obama and his Cronies?  I doubt it?

We need to support Joe and the others like him who are putting the truth ahead of personal gain.  We need true heros in this day and age.  If I had the extra money right now, I would send it to him to help pay his taxes.  Keep up the good work, Joe.  Love ya, man!!

As a mother, this issue sickens me.  I have had very few occasions to deal with someone like Casey Anthony, but the few times I did I was astounded.  Pathological liars are truly ugly people.  The pain they inflict on the people around them is astounding.  I would think that once you have dug yourself into a hole so deep, you would want a way out after realizing that your current plan isn’t working.  Instead they create distractions through rage or other poor behavior so they can cover their indiscretions.

Caylee Anthonyjust needs to be laid to rest properly and her mother needs justice served.  I don’t know about my Girly Girls out there but sometimes if I let myself think too much about what may have happened to this poor little defenseless child at her mother’s hands, I get so upset in the pit of my gut.  Crimes against children should be dealt with severely and maybe that would help deter them.

I must also say that I am glad that it seems that the investigators dotted every I and crossed every T in this case so as to make it stick.  May justice be served for this little girl.

Poor old bloke!  Hugh Hefner is sad about loosing ONE of his girlfriends.  Some how I find it hard to feel sorry for him.  I have no doubt that he will bounce back quickly and somewhere deep inside I have to wonder if it is just a ploy to help with faltering ratings?  What is your thought?

Seems to me that he survives in an industry where I find it hard to believe that emotions play a bigger role than upward mobility; and I mean that both literally and as a pun!!  Although I would think the only upward mobility he sees without the help of Viagra is lining his bank accounts!!

So Holly Madison gets smart!!  National news?!!  Wow, they must be backing off of Sarah?!!
