Smells come and go, pants last forever.
hello..my 12 followers....I am drunk from the new dudes who live up in the front house. They are quite cool and offered my hubby and I free drinks (that they learned to make at The Abbey) and free jeans! I am now wearing my new size 26's though I swear this is not my size. Rich got jean-sweatpants.....not as cool. They kinda remind me of these pants on the right.....Though I never had my own pair of Skidz outright- I did get Skidz hand-me-downs from our next door neighbors when I was 12. I guess my point is- neighbors like to hook me up with pants/slacks/pantaloons/things to cover my bottom....thanks to the new dude-neighbors, I also now smell like a mix of 'Coolwater' and 'Drakar Noir'. All in all..it was totally worth it. Smells come and go, pants last forever. Goodnight skanx...xoxo

Fluffity Puffity Marshalades! or I HEART Homestar Runner!



So, whence I first moved out to Los Angeles I somehow stumbled across one of the most fantastic websites around: HomeStar Runner. For the very few of you who have yet to discover this brilliant Flash animated cartoon site, give yourself an hour or two, especially to play the old school Atari-inspired games! The site is chock full of super random, fun, home-grown humor with references to pop culture of the 70s 80s and 90s. I highly recommend checking out the TEEN GIRL SQUAD series as it is SCREAMING Adult Swim TV....
Enjoy!

Howard the Duck goes Into the Woods??




Okokok! My 13 year old musical theatre nerd is singing a 'Howard the Duck' / 'Into The Woods' medley of awesomeness!!! Do you know WHY? I just discovered that the person who voiced 'Howard the Duck' was none other than......CHIP ZIEN.....The original baker from 'Into The Woods'!!....by Stephen Sondheim?...ya know, one of the most awesome musicals to grace the Broadway stage (despite it's Act 2 flaws?)....umm....it was on PBS ALL the time in the 90s? Bernadette Peters was the witch? No? Falsettoland! You saw THAT, right?! No, never? Ok,ok..whatever...so you don't like musicals and anamorphic ducks...you can at least appreciate my enthusiasm, right? No? Ok, ya know what?! Screw you with you're blank stare!....it's verrry exciting. You just don't get it. Pshh! You and your "other interests"...No, no... go ahead....get in your car! LEAVE! I'll be here..alone...singing the theme song from one of the best box office bombs of the 80s....and one of the best musicals of the 90s.
Phew! THAT GUY. Drama!
So, for those of you who aren't into musicals but ARE into comics...'Howard the Duck' actually stemmed from a pretty racy comic book from the 70s and was actually the cause of the first highly publicized 'creators rights' case in American comics when the creator clashed with publishers over creative content and got the boot. The movie took liberties with the plot and story lines. The one things that sticks with me the most from my childhood viewings of this film, were the overt sexual undertones.....which as a child confused the crap outta me...it was kinda gross cause the duck also didn't seem to have a penis. Do ducks have penises?And why would Lea Thompson go for a duck? Clearly she was miffed at her bad break up with Cappie from 'Lucas' and decided to go for a whole 'nother species. Charlie Sheen will do that to you.. But alas...I've digressed.

Hindsight is 20/20 part 2 aka '9 times'

"Gummy Bear?"OMG! My genius childhood friend Adam Blau just read Hindsight is 20/20 part 1 and totally referenced Jeffrey Jones aka Mr. Rooney aka the bad guy in Howard the Duck aka a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER!
Crazy shiz is, I used to see this dude ALL THE TIME, walking around the Upper West Side of NYC. "I've seen Mr. Rooney niiiiiiine times, this month!" "Graaace!" "With you're bad back you shouldn't be throwing anyone!" Oh the stupid things I wanted to yell as he walked past.
Honestly, there is probably nothing I could have said, had I had freeze frame power back in 1986 to stop this perv from breaking the law and being he lowest form of creepy. I KNEW there was something off about the way he looked at that girl who offered him gummy bears during the end credits....he wanted her to be a boy!
