Hi, there. It’s been forever. We’re in a whole new year. Happy to be back with y’all. No excuses regarding my absence, dear reader. Life. But we’re back… So, I haven’t shared a random memory with you in a while. (See past memories here and here.) The purpose was to share them during my morning …
All the Things.
So, by now, I’m sure you’ve heard the details of the “bombshell” interview that Oprah Winfrey conducted with Harry and Meghan a few weeks ago. (If you’re a woman and a person of color, not much that you heard was surprising.) But believe me, despite not being largely surprised by how Meghan was treated, I …
A Stoop Wedding.
So, this pandemic and the resulting quarantine has proved, over and over again, that necessity truly is the mother of invention. I’ve seen people find creative ways to continue living and doing: roll-by parties (especially for 2020 graduates), young folks creating sanitized ways to hug their family and loved ones, so on. And one favorite …
Mr. Pitt…Has an Oscar.
So the Academy Awards were last night, and although I had no intention of watching (zero interest, despite my decades-long devotion to the Oscars; we'll discuss all of that in another post), I had to, if only to hear my favorite being nominated for a Best Supporting Actor award. He won previously for producing 12 …
On Harry & Meghan.
If you're living on this side of Earth, you've heard that Harry and Meghan have decided to significantly change their status with the royal family. (I won't link to any articles because, whew chile, the bias.) In other words, H&M want to step back from being senior members of the royal family, become financially independent, …
Blogtober #15: Best Fall News Ever.
Guess which two announced this chilly autumn morning that they're having a baby? I'll wait. Yes: Megs and Harry are pregnant! Fun fact: your resident fan of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had guessed a month ago, while admiring Meghan's lovely pleated skirts and intriguing style choices of coats and ruffles, that perhaps there …
things i currently need #11
Shall we? I want all of her clothes. Each. And. Every. One. Classy. Feminine. Elegant. Modern. Yes, Meghan. Yesssss Are y'all familiar with Chip and Joanna Gaines? I'm sure your mother has also gently forced you to watch back-to-back episodes of Fixer Upper on HGTV when she knows that you're positively allergic to anything having …
because it’s Wednesday.
Old Bae. Bond. That Scottish accent. Indiana Jones' Dad. You've loved Sean Connery all your life, haven't you? Me, too. Here's to aging gracefully, Dr. Jones.
because it’s Wednesday.
This is certainly unprecedented. We greet Wednesday with not just one person, but five of them. (Well, still one, but we'll talk about that in a second.) Let me tell you how I discovered New Edition. Back in the 80s, the kids in school would sing, over and over again, "sunny days..." But they would …
because it’s Wednesday.
Why relegate candy to your sweet tooth? Shall we not have candy for the eye, too? This is Superman. I know, I know: you thought Superman wasn't real you thought Superman was Christopher Reeve. And he is, no doubt. But this is the new Superman. And I mean...Wednesdays were made for that face. They just …
