Fannypacks to the rescue!

Hector breathed a sigh of relief when he realized the passersby had not noticed his moobs.

Hindsight is 20/20 part 3

This was always my favorite pic of these two. Just look at these adorable jean-clad kids in the 90s. Two rising mega-stars riding the wave of fame in matching white-trash couture. Both off to their first rodeo. Stars in their virgin eyes and love in their not-so-virgin loins. To think but a year later she'd hook up with their mutual choreographer, they'd have a dance battle in a club to mend fences and then both write songs about each other (Cry Me a River, What Goes Around and the surprisingly beautiful Everytime - which she has co-writing credit on) Then, he'd sail off for sunnier shores, leaving a trail of hundred dollars bills behind him and she'd become a barefoot mother of two. If only, Britney'd known what her choreographer/back-up dancer screwing would bring her....

Doesn't stop me from dancin my ass off to her music though! Siiiggghhh.....

It's my An-ni-vers-a-ry! (Said like Oprah givin' away cars!)

So in even more celebration than I've already had (Rich has been treating me as if I'm Veruca Salt pre-her 'bad golden egg' drop to hell), I give you Mike Meyers in all his Scottish awesomeness from one of my fave's of ALL TIME (I say that a lot huh?) "So I Married an Axe Murderer"

And just for good measure...how can I not....she stole my heart and my cat...

6-27-09

"Hi! I'm Rich, I'm insanely talented, cool and smart!" - Alissa doing a "Rich" voice

To celebrate: Here is our wedding video!!! :

Gone but not forgotten

you were so bubbly

Sammi Davis and Beetlegeuse!

or shall I say 'Beetlejuice' was Tim Burton's follow up to his freshman film 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure'.
This film's story, special effects, and whimsy (yeah I said it) are why I felt the need to break out into song during many a family dinner. And Alissa Dean blog alum 'Perv-Job Mcgee' Jeffrey Jones (Mr. Rooney) was in it. Along with a host of other way less pervy and much more talented folk. Below please enjoy the inspiration for my many table top antics as a child (and..erm..older child/teen/adult).....

OMG! and in my googling I actually found that Tim Burton originally wanted none other than Sammi Davis Jr. to play the title role! Check out this video of him at 6:

Great non sequitor Alissa! I never need to see that again!

Anyway, Sammi as the B would've been awesomely weird but alas, we were blessed with the insanely genius and quiiiiite underutilized Michael Keaton. Where the heck is Mr. Mom these days anyway...?

I took the liberty of ironing your homework...

So at first glance, the lesbian boy above is the dude who played Louise Miller's annoying younger brother in the fantastical '89 TV film "Teen Witch". What you may not know is that he is the half brother of lunatic on wheels/Lost Boy Jason Patric.


and speaking of "The Lost Boys" whatever happened to this dude? Alex Winter much?

OK, I digress...so, I looked up the dude who played Louise's brother and lo and behold I found out, not only is he half related to a Lost Boy, but he went to Yale, was a prima ballerina, was in Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation video, has won many literary fellowships and his mom was in playboy once! And he's Jewish!
And here we only thought he existed during Halloween re-runs.... Good for you "Joshua John Miller". Good fuh yew!
