Retro Saturday – Eighties Female Singers

I had a wonderful conversation on Facebook the other day. A FB friend of mine mentioned that her radio station had asked the question : Lisa Lisa (and Cult Jam) vs. Klymaxx. That started a thread of conversation that sent me digging through my piles of old cassettes. Now, I do love Lisa Lisa, so much so that I have two albums on CASSETTE, as you can see to your left. But Klymaxx was an all-girl group with the fierce Bernadette Cooper at the helm. They did the very sexy and strut-worthy “Meeting in the Ladies Room”, the know-I-got-it “The Men All Pause” and the heartfelt “I Miss You” just make me want to flip my asymmetrical hairdo and get down. Let’s not forget our friend, introduced to us by Prince, Sheila E. An accomplished drummer, she brought her vocals to Erotic City, The Glamorous Life and A Love Bizarre. … Continued

Football Friday – Wide Receivers

After I watched a few football games with my husband, I decided that I wasn’t going to solely depend on his knowledge and seek out some information on my own. Plus, asking a ton of questions during the game can cause you to miss a lot of action. So, for my readers who love the game, but don’t quite get it, Fridays are the day for you. It’ll be short, it’ll be sweet and hopefully it’ll help you understand and enjoy the game better. Yes, we love the spandex and the occasional flash of flat abdomen (I’m looking at you Eric Decker), but knowledge will continue to be power. Let’s get started. Wide receivers Short and simple – these are the players that run downfield, away from the quarterback and catch “the long ball”. That’s my definition. From about.com Definition: An offensive player who lines up on or near the line

May the Fourth Be with You

Say NO to May the 4th? What propaganda is this? The movie Star Wars, released May 25, 1977, opened up a whole new world for many children (and adults ) across the nation. Here it was, on the big screen, basically a space opera/fairy-tale complete with a princess. The storyline was easy to follow, simple as black and white, down to Leia’s pure white princess outfit contrasting with Darth Vader’s pure black one. Add the deep voice and ominous timbre of James Earl Jones with that respiration, and you’ve got yourself a villian. It didn’t hurt that the actor, David Prowse (yes, I knew that w/out looking it up) was 6’6″ and Carrie Fisher was only 5’1″. And how about Peter Cushing? I mean, if he were only second in charge, imagine how bad Darth Vader was? While I’m not the biggest fan of the “first” three movies, I

Tell A Story Day

I happened to do a bit of Internet-questing and found a list of crazy, wacky holidays. We all know about Black Month, Women’s History Month and Arbor Day, but what about National Zucchini Bread Day, Kindergarten Day and….Garlic Day? These holidays are the best because there’s something for everyone. Today, April 27th, is “Tell a Story Day”. As an author, this is right up my alley. And so, I shall tell a story. It’s a short one, and it has been seen before, but there’s no story like an old story, I always say. Grandma Elsie’s Typewriter It was hidden in the back corner of the storage facility, one of those “dollar for the first month and we’ll rip you off thereafter” places where she had stored Grandmother’s furniture after they’d sold the house. There weren’t many of her things left and they were taking this time to

A Peek into Cosplay

This is a guest post by Kymberlyn Reed, whom I had the pleasure to meet on a fiction website. We got acquainted on Facebook, and I dare say, anyone who is a fan of Calvin and Hobbes is alright with me. Please, enjoy reading her experience in cosplay and leave a comment. Have questions? Leave a comment! My Life in Cosplay – The Beginning My first experiences with the idea of cosplay happened a year after Star Wars (A New Hope) came out (yes, I am that old). I remember how life-altering that film was for me, a little girl who loathed the weak, simpering “heroines” of Disney films and which populated a great deal of he books I had the misfortune to have read. The moment Princess Leia literally exploded on screen, sassing up Darth Vader without flinching and pretty much rescuing the very guys who were supposed to be rescuing her, I

Pets and their Celebrities

“The more I know about people, the better I like my dog.” — Mark Twain I’m feeing pet-like this Saturday. My old road dog passed away in January, and the family was dithering about getting a new dog. But, we went down to the Humane Society (which I call the pound) and picked out a loverly nice purebred (imagine that) pitbull. She’s as sweet as sugar and so cute to boot. The new dog got me thinking about famous people and their pets. What do they look like? A quick web search brought me to the following shots. Enjoy, I’m going to play with the new dog! Hover over the slide with your mouse and the celebrities name will appear at the bottom. Sorry it’s not as clear as I’d like it to be!! [slideshow_deploy id=’1581′]
