I only mark the hours that shine.

I am quite a fan of the HBO miniseries, Grey Gardens. My friend, Nikki, got me further obsessed with the Beale's by recommending that I watch the original documentaries upon which the miniseries was based. Edie and Lil' Edie are such characters. It is easy to become fascinated by their lives. Well, now, Lil' Edie's nephew is publishing a diary that Edie wrote when she was 11 (circa 1929). Evidently, Lil' Edie's token fashion sense began at an early age--the cover photo shows her in her dance shoes and head wrap, even at a young age. Can't wait to read this!

Three Men and a Bride?

Evidently, there is a new "Three Men" movie in the works (see MTV). IMDB says the movie will probably be released in 2012. This is quite exciting! Three Men and a Baby and Three Men and a Little Lady we two of my favorite movies when I was young. Steve Guttenberg, Tom Selleck, and Ted Danson--what a great trio!!! Question is: Who will play grown-up Mary? I think these could maybe fit the role--Emma Watson, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Mandy Moore, or Rachel McAdams. What do you think?

Crocs Save Lives, now?

It is no secret. I think Crocs are hideous. Yes, I suppose they are comfortable. But, they fall off my feet when I walk, and it looks like I am wearing curved flippers. Well, maybe I should reconsider. Evidently, Crocs saved a boy's life in the UK (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7798661/Boy-saved-by-Croc-shoes-after-electric-shock.html). Three year-old Harley Sutton-Dormer (obvs a Brit with that bloody awful name) was in a swimming pool changing room when he picked up a faulty hair-dryer that sent a bolt of electricity through his entire body. The Crocs stopped the electricity from passing through the ground and saved him from serious injury and maybe even his life. God bless those little plastic shoes!
