My vote goes to "hard of hearing" from that Spinal Tap concert on the Air Force base :)
LOL! That statement and the fact that it's the 30th anniversary of ST, compelled me watch that movie this evening! Plus, it was $1.99 on TimeWarner. It's even funnier after all of this time.
I'll say this, Rena Sofer is good at giving off the crazy vibes. Quinn was practically radioactive with insanity as Hope pretended to be an assertive woman with her.
The reaction shots of a jealous Charlie were comedy gold. Nice to see some smiling faces on this show!
Hope is about as menacing as a toothless chihuahua. I dare say that Quinn is starting to catch up to Sheila Carter. Mama Quinn is going to shred precious princess like newspaper.
I'm going to piss some people off, but I'm not liking John Forrester too well. He comes across as a smarmy, snake-oil-salesman type. I was particularly irritated when he intimated to Eric that Pam should realize that he's a married man and not flirt with him. EXCUSE ME???? Pot meet kettle.
BTW, why doesn't he speak with an Aussie accent, but his daughter does? At least they threw a nod to Maggie.

Was Bill's hair more unnaturally black than usual today ? It was almost Ron Moss black.
You mean Kiwi #947?

I have to echo everybody's sentiments about how COOL this site is! I feel relaxed when I post and not that I have to sweat blood and tears over every word as not to offend somebody or risk getting kicked off.
A few comments about this week's events:
Hasn't Brooke gone through an "epiphany" several times in the past? I know that she did after Hope was born and also after the Boink-Berry debacle. Let's see how long this one lasts...
If Katie had taken a child CPR class, then why did she stand there screaming hysterically for Bill to "make him breathe" and for Brooke to call 911? I'm surprised she didn't keel over with cardiac arrest! Good grief, woman. Calm down. If I were Bill, I'd be looking sideways and wondering if Katie is capable of being alone with anything that breathes. Watch the plants and hopefully there won't be any little Fidos in Will's future.
Is Fred Willard's background in live theatre? I wondered because he surely can project his voice. I thought it was either poor sound management or he's hard of hearing. I'm all for a Charlie/Pam/John triangle. That would certainly be more interesting then the junior varsity league.
It's touching that Ivy has been confiding in her father about Sad Waffles. About what, exactly?
Loved Hope telling Quinn, "Huff, puff and I'll blow your house down." Yeah, right.
Lastly, as I watch the older episodes, I've noticed (and appreciated) the dearth of montages and flashbacks. Yes, there were a few, but not the daily saturation like we're getting. Makes me lament how much this show has headed down hill.

Cafe Russe has an even more colorful history. (I wish I could find the clip.) Anyway, during a time when Eric was married to Brooke (or trying hard to keep her from divorcing him), he surprised her by buying a restaurant for her. Cafe Russe was one of her favorite restaurants in Paris, so Eric convinced the owner to pack up and relocate to L.A. The was the way to introduce Robert Clary to the show. R.C.made cameos as the proprietor of Cafe Russe. I'd forgotten about that.

It also reminds me of those old "sandwich board" advertising gimmicks. Just mark if up with the daily special and send her out on the streets. Perfect idea for Kim!

Piano keyboard meets window blinds.
I guess the benefit to this ensemble is that you'd never have to be overly concerned about wrinkles...

He's baaaack and whatever that thing Kim is wearing is, she looks huge in it. And the beige shoes again..
It finally dawned on me where Kim got the nude/beige colored shoe idea. Kate Middleton. I've seen and read in magazines that the Duchess has a favorite pair of nude pumps. (I forgot who the designer is.) The differences are that Kate's are classic pumps, (granted they have a fairly high heel), but they are closed-toe, her feet aren't spilling out of them and it doesn't look like she needs a machete to have them cut off of her.
-
Good Lord! Please don't tell me that at the end of today's show, they were dropping hints that Brooke now has resurfaced feelings for Eric.
Even more confounding -- is Katie having second thoughts about Bill?
I thought Donna looked absolutely gorgeous today. I loved that green dress and the way her hair was styled.

Yeah. I didn't mean to call Nancy out on her size. She does, indeed, wear unflattering clothes. Something just looked very different about her. It seems like her hair is longer and a little bit lighter. I kinda like her oversized acid green glasses! ITA that she can totally cook and encourages the viewers to cook from scratch and use fresh ingredients. I'd rather make something of Nancy's than Ree's.

OOooooohhh.... Queasy-bo, that DOES NOT sound like a good time!
Bottom line: Unless Giada is showing us a recipe for her immediate family or for kids, I don't really care whether Jade likes it or not. YMMV...

I mean really, put some fucking clothes on!
She looks like a streetwalker. Joan would make mincemeat of her and the idiot she's with .
I think North is beyond being saved by Joan. I'm thinking more like CPS.
-
Most fathers wouldn't let their older teenaged/young adult daughters out of the house dressed the way North is. Well, I'm speaking about average, normal, rational fathers.

Hi! Ridge has three older kids from his marriages to Taylor. There were two girls (first identical twins, then retconned to fraternal) Phoebe and Steffy. I'm sure you've seen, heard and read references to Steffy, who was married to Liam and in another triangle with Hope and him.
Steffy's sister, Phoebe, was killed off several years ago in a car accident.
The third child, the oldest, is Thomas. He used to be a regular on the show, so now they have him (as well as Steffy) shipped off to Paris.

Caught today's show. I wasn't sure how the menu was supposed to emulate dim sum. From my perspective, it was just a badly matched trio of appetizers.
Giada sure was excited about the stiff peaks of her whipped egg whites. She described them as "icebergs." How was that "bread pudding?" The bread didn't have enough time to absorb the liquid (a bit of almond milk and Nutella.)
I still couldn't get over her sheer glee at concocting "little portions." I call bull on that they were "Jade-inspired." I think that those are "Giada-approved" portion sizes and she's make her kid be the scapegoat for her preference of serving parsimonious portions. OR, she has completely missed her calling and should specialize in child menus.

How clever! North's dress matches Kim's stockings .. and in black. My first reaction was "illegitimate baby of one of the whores in Madame's brothel."
(Disclaimer: I realize that the poor kid has no say in what her parents dress her in.)

I swear that Nancy was having an orgasm today over that prime rib. I fully expected her to pick up that rack of bones with her greasy paws and start gnawing on it.
The mint brownies looked pretty good.
That's about all I can say about the show...

I wonder if I pissed off the woman that runs it? I don't know why I would have, I don't roll that way. I posted under the name Biki.
I don't know what's going on. I checked to see if the site is still live and it is and looks like it gets plenty of traffic. I emailed the site admin a SECOND time, so hopefully, I can get an answer. Weird. Could anybody else who subscribes to Marlborowoman.com help us? Thanks.
Did Ree explain why she cut the icky canned biscuits into quarters? Those did not look good at all.
The salad didn't look too bad, but I'd leave out the jalapenos. I felt like Ree gushed too much over that creamy citrus dressing. At least it wasn't loaded with mayo. How did they prepare the oranges? I heard Ree tell Betsy to "chop them up." I would have loved to have seen one of them attempt to supreme an orange. (I shouldn't laugh because I can't do that myself.)
I think I would have used a slightly thinner glaze over that cake as to not obscure the pretty design of the cake pan. That reminds me of when Aunt Sandy used to go into great detail to make something to look pretty then crap it up with too much icing, dressing, etc.
I am going to the "Small Talk" thread to solicit any reaction to the first episode of "Simply Laura" that aired to today on TCC.

I was looking forward to the Marlboro Woman recap also. I have no idea why, but I was not approved to join!
Same thing happened to me when I tried to sign up.

Who writes this drivel? (yahoo article) When I read it, I was hoping it was being sarcastic, but then again..

The outfits speak for themselves. What really caught my eye was the vacant expressions...
Geez. I threw out a pair of old yoga pants yesterday that looked like what Kanye is wearing. I probably could have gotten lots of money off eBay.. /facepalm

What brand of bottled water was Bobby swigging, adding to the trash heap in the backseat of the Benz?
Best scene: Anne asking Sue Ellen to pour her a big glass of bourbon.
This was so dull and disappointing that I'm debating whether or not to watch the second part.

I'm getting fed up with this "incapacitated Ridge" nonsense. If he has enough cognition and coordination to guide Caroline's hand, then why can't he sketch for himself? Seeing those two up close and personal was pervish at best as well as skeevy, punctuated by those longing adoring looks she was giving him. I hope this isn't going anywhere, but it looks like something is heading down the pike. Yuck...
Ha! Brooke giving advice to Hope about divorce. Like she can talk...

Was it the nanny's day off? Who brings a baby to a fashion show?
Followed with, "Who dresses a baby like that to take to a fashion show?"
