Pop Rocks
I may not agree with her jean washing (or lack thereof) philosophy, but the WB is certainly no model-made pop tart. She is a fine musician and a great singer with zero attitude and, apparently, a nice stockpile of extra laundry detergent. Jackpot!— April 15, 2009 10:16 a.m.
Should Call Him Khem
SDaniels and lallaw: I'm sorry for the lag in replying. The Reader doesn't seem to have a comment notification system in place. Thank you both so much for your warm, articulate (and discerning) comments. I'm heartened to know that my blog entry, in spite of my over-enthusiastic use of hyphens, appealed to you. I can't speak for the editors, but I suppose maybe my piece wasn't neighborhood or city-centric enough within the contest guidelines. Regardless, I won some money, which was nice for my wallet, and now get to bask in your praise, which is even nicer for my raging vanity. Thanks again!— April 14, 2009 9:23 a.m.
Should Call Him Khem
Thanks, shizzyfinn! Your comment made my morning. I'm glad you enjoyed it, even with what I realize now is an overabundance of hyphens. I mean, holy crap.— March 2, 2009 9:30 a.m.
