Come on Judy, let's put on a show!

The new school year is right around the corner, so it's not too early to start planning for the drama club's big production.  You want something that's challenging for the young actors and accessible for the audience.  Why rely on those hoary old chestnuts like "Our Town" and "Guys and Dolls" when you can put on a show with modern appeal.

Amazon makes it easy with these handy lists that will help you stage Pulp Fiction, Boogie Nights, or Scarface.

Timex Men's Easy Reader Brown Leather Watch: 

"Get the scary kid to nail the awkward pauses and minute of Christoper Walken's epic monologue."

Tubbs Costume (Miami Vice):

"I don't treat you gently ... That's right: I'm Brock Landers. So I'm gonna be nice and I'm gonna ask you one more time ... 

Where the fuck is Ringo?"

Bratz Large Baybz Spa/Bathtub:

"Yell at your trophy wife from the tub while watching a bird show on TV. 

'Money, money, money, money, money; that's all I ever hear in this house.  Manny, look at the pelican fly. Come on, pelican!' "

Tip o'the hat to T. Thanks T!

Closing the book on another beach week

We had an unprecedented sunset last night on the sound. Usually there's a cloud cover right on the water that obscures the sun, but not this night.

It's not a stretch to say that in 8 years, this was the best trip ever.  Although it goes into the books with an asterix, for dear friends no longer with us.  We missed you Rita and Heather.

You know, the good old days

When Las Vegas was still flashy, tacky, and everything your mother warned you about.

And this will be released in an adult size when?

PediSedate is a medical device consisting of a colorful, toy-like headset that connects to a game component such as the Nintendo Game Boy system or a portable CD player. Once the child places it on his or her head and swings the snorkel down from its resting place atop the head, PediSedate transparently monitors respiratory function and distributes nitrous oxide, an anesthetic gas. The child comfortably becomes sedated while playing with a Nintendo Game Boy system or listening to music.

Valentine's is but a week away, and Yahoo!Music would like to help you set the mood.  Or help you not set the wrong mood by playing one of these individually wrapped slices of goodness.

The Cheesiest Love Songs EVER! - Yahoo!Music: 

I mostly agree agree with list - you've got the usual offenders ... Lionel Ritchie, Air Supply, Extreme.

But Kenny Roger's 'Lady'?  Aww hell to the no!  You best step off the Gambler, yo.

You can't live in this, either

Several months ago I started subscribing to Vogue. I was thinking that maybe I was at a point in my life where I needed to refine my look a little.  

Its a fun flip-through.  And I view it more as a source of inspiration and translation than actual aspiration.

Because I do not aspire to ever own a hand bag that costs 10 grand.  A bag like the Calle by Loewe. 

The hell?  Now, this is a gorgeous bag.  No question.  But I guarantee you that I can find a bag that looks exactly like this one from a vendor in front of a metro station, and pay less than 50 bucks for it.

Who in gods name would pay 10 thousand dollars for a purse?

Oh.  right.  Well, that's okay.  It is Posh after all.
