I'm in a good mood so this reminded me of: The officer said "You're staggering." I said "Well, thank you. You're quite handsome yourself." We just laughed and laughed. I need bail money. LOL. Carry on.

I sorta feel bad for Donnie, that he wasn't invited. There was a wistful undercurrent that surfaced sometimes, like he was the nerdy brother who saw her first but she went for the macho brother instead. If that makes sense.

Milli Vanilli. Ouch! I hear ya, but it IS the first wedding there (according to the VF article). {{{sigh}}}

Can you imagine the horror on their faces if someone had the testicular heft to say that to them?

He was busy. He was holed up in his trailer, memorizing his lines for the first movie.

Hey thanks, oakville, but it was Woodman who tendered the wedding morsel. But I do like how my timeline about paying off Susan tied in with Woodman's scoop and the Nantucket article from XOQueens. Viewed from a distance it's clear that there's a slow, slow train comin' and that everybody's gonna have to serve somebody.

She doesn't go to clubs to be wild, she doesn't even dance. She goes to clubs looking wild because of how she dresses, she goes there knowing people will gawk (which she interprets as compliments/admiration). She's gonna have a tough time w/ menopause: "My doctor had to stick his entire arm in me and scrape out my old hormones with his fingernails."

She gets blowback because she is entitled and obnoxious. Tori Spelling, ditto. The public is much more open-minded and forgiving when someone presents as a fairly decent individual. Reap, sow.

Maybe not president, but he will run for office. They wanted secrecy and privacy but invited Emily Jane Fox. And she didn't change her (professional) name during her marriage to Jim Hoffer and they had two children together. Hmmph.

And, if you must do it, wipe underneath your eye from outer corner to inner corner. Which goes against current or future wrinkles instead of reinforcing or encouraging them. Over time, over many years, those motions add up, LOL. A Q-tip will glom onto that one teeny tiny spot of smudge w/o disturbing the rest of the perfection you created. Gently swirling the tip keeps providing a clean surface to use because smears ... gah. (I rarely wear makeup now Because I'm Retired And I Don't Give A Shit, but those old habits are still in my brain).

I see a few grapes on her plate. The guy on Khloe's right, has maybe pie w/ whipped cream/ice cream and it looks like he tossed his napkin down on his plate, on top of his food. My cats looked happier about their holiday nums than this crew does. But Khloe is beaming. Camera! Yay!

Then 20K monthly for 2 years ---> January 2020. So in about 14 more months he can "afford" to marry Mika. LOL

Hoo boy. Understatement. What are they up to now? Always with the ploys and maneuvers ...

Uh oh. I wonder if he had to sleep on the couch last night.

Frequent MJ guest Michael Hayden, 73, retired USAF 4-star General and former NSA and CIA Director has suffered a stroke and is in hospital.

Wearing ball caps at a formal holiday dinner table. Klassy.

I've heard the term, of course, but didn't know what it was. So I looked it up, wowzer, and will be joining the brawl. Step off. (I get riled fairly easily during the holiday eating season).

I hope Grandma Kris guards against a freak show for the itty bitties since they're all lower than the hem of her mini skirt when they're on the floor, which they often are at those ages. And the view from the back if she even barely leans forward to deliver a coochie coo doesn't bear contemplation. Childproof that shit!

I think it's a combination of a phone camera seeing her differently than a TV camera, the pose and angle being much different than how we usually see her, and her dark clothing against the dark chair making her outline difficult to distinguish (although following the stripes helps). And the new Ds. Or DDs. Because on the show, each of those girls is much, much wider than before. The stark white chyron sits directly under her bust line and highlights it, especially against the new dark and somber wardrobe. The monitor that showed up a few weeks ago, low and just to her right, where she checks her image makes sense now. Mika Kardashian, LOL. Compare Mika/chyron and guests/chyron. I guess I won't be seeing my favorite eggplant sheath dress with raspberry cardigan anymore. She looked awesome in her jewel tone outfits but the girls don't fit in those now. Never seen a photo of Joey's dad but he looks a lot like his mom. They have a similar expression, and the eyes maybe? I wonder if he wore his glasses so she could more easily recognize him, given her dementia? If so, what a good son he is. He looks fairly lean/rangy. (End of Captain Shallow's report. Meow).

I sent it to Mediaite.

Saw it last week and thought "Hoo boy, someone's overdue for a trim." Saw it again a few days later, figured OK, her stylist is out of town. Saw it this morning and realized it's intentional. But she's on my shit list now so I care less than I would have a year ago.

She's like Sally Yates. They radiate competence. Linear thinking, economy of words, effective imagery. When they finish I realize that I'm leaning forward, like a dweeb.

IA re the scarf, muted colors. Elegant Sarah is one of those damn dusters so, yes, the yellow is a top or a dress. I saw lots of belted dusters. Belted dusters. Ow. My. Eyes.

I hear ya. We can self-educate these days if we have time to read and and use the internet - we are so blessed! I get so involved I forget to throw kids off my lawn. I'm probably biased about Mariah because her personality and attitude remind me so much of someone I know who (with her hubby) joined the Peace Corps (3 months training and 2 years serving) after earning a Masters. Following a lengthy job search she finally entered the work force in a meaningful way in her mid 30s, landed as an adjunct prof and after just a few years realizes she is stuck because of cost-cutting in academia - adjuncts and assistants are where it's at. Her course load depends on minimum enrollment so huge variations there, no office, no input, no benefits, not eligible for tenure/SS/pension. And she acts like she was ambushed by all of that, or like she should be the exception. I mean, c'mon! Hubby is a little older, has PhD, is an assistant prof, on the tenure track, a little better off but, even so, after 20 years of marriage they can't even think about buying a home or having kids. Considering where she expected to be at this point, big effort has not turned out to be a big advantage. And now she has decided to pursue a doctorate! So I won't be surprised if Mariah takes a similar path, craving the cocoon and delaying the inevitable while time marches on and standards and possibilities change (and the loans add up, and add up some more).

But, best of all are chickpeas - I wonder if she's tried those?
