“Instead of bowling, Janie decided to entertain the on-lookers with her Irish Jig across the lanes.”

 

Perhaps inspired by Alice, I have made plans to go BOWLING on a date night with my husband and another couple. I have never really officially bowled before. Oh I have put on the shoes, ordered a beer and even picked out a ball. But I just sorta hovered around and kept letting other people take my turn. But for some reason I have this URGE to bowl this weekend. Now where is my red and white checked skirt for the night? Gosh I hope it isn’t at the dry cleaners with my aprons and party dresses.

UPDATE: Concourse Bowl in Anaheim? They wanted $40 an hour per lane with a 2 hour/ 2 lane minimum. So that is $160 bucks to go bowling! And the reservation girl actually thought she was helping the situation by saying ‘but shoe rental is included’ (which are all of $2.00 according to their site) So I called Lucky Strike in Orange. And I called and I called. NO ANSWER at all. So I twittered them. I emailed them. And now I am waiting. And while I am waiting I called good ol’Yorba Linda Bowl. No fancy sound system or neon lights and the decor at Yorba Linda Bowl is pretty much in a time warp from 1978 but guess what? They answered my call on the FIRST ring and while they don’t take lane reservations…they did tell me it is all of $5.00 a game. So Concourse Bowl? You are officially on my INSANE list. And yes, I have a list.

The classics. As I see it.

Okay the suspense is killing me.
Can anyone please tell me WHAT the top secret Christmas-tree shaped project is??? What could it be?
One of Marie’s dolls? How about plans for another creepy brother-sister talk show come back?
Maybe it is the book of Mormon as told by Father Osmond.

AlbumTalk: Blame it on Cuba.

In an attempt to distance themselves from their Uncle Castro back in Cuba, the sisters added the ‘De-‘ to their last name when they came to America.
The helmet hair and bushy eyebrow trend can only be considered  passive revenge for the whole Bay of Pigs thing.
We retaliated with The Jonas Brothers.

My good fortune. Or not.

I am one of those stupid people who actually open up their mass produced fortune cookie after Chinese food with the hope that it will contain actual wisdom passed down to me from Buddha himself. In my HEAD I know they are just made up stupidness printed at a factory in San Francisco, but part [...]

His off season…

You may recall I saw Santa recently at a car show, and last week I ran into him in Newport.
I wasn’t sure at first it was him, but the front of his shirt said ‘North Pole’ and the back?
Well, as you can see…I am certain it was HIM.

So I was thinking now that I have become a minister, I might want to start becoming other stuff too. You know just for a killer business card.

My Crabby Fun

Yesterday we had another great time meeting friends at Joes Crab Shack in Newport Beach. (Remember our first visit?) That is my friend Dan showing off this King Crab leg to the table, with the killer Newport Bay view behind. I love this place because your food comes in a bucket, they have endless paper [...]

AdTalk: What a waste

 

 
 
Such a shame since he seemed so perfect when he asked her out. Tall, dark and handsome-plus a great VP position in the Marketing department.
But now, half way through the evening- all she could think about was getting her hands on a Diet Coke.
Next time she will know to ask before the date; ‘Pepsi [...]

AdTalk: Heavy Regrets

 Very rarely I come across an ad that is just funny all on its own. This one really doesn’t need my help at all.

Nothing says ‘alien’ like a guy on his knees with swim fins, a beanie with elastic and a nice red belt.
This is from the low effort budget department of the ad firm [...]

“The Bible lasts a long time”

Now go read your bible and “find out where music is coming from”.

If My Little Ponies took over the world. It could happen.

See I only have boys. So I never had to experience the hell joy of having a toy box full of pastel colored miniature equine. So in my empathy for that experience- I give you this video. Fav part? VERY end. “Giddy-Up”

See you at Glamour Girls!

 
 I have taken my fair share of family portraits in my photography career. And I have always worked hard to make sure they look natural and comfortable. Well, as natural and comfortable as you can look standing 2 inches from your family and smiling. But recenlty I was sent a link (by several of you [...]

AdTalk: I’ve got my eye on you.

 
Greg found this advice to be far more effective than yelling just ‘YO! HO!’ to the ladies during happy hour.
And when he added the eye patch, things really got interesting.

I think I will call mine ‘Bitchy Blogger’.

Yup. You are reading the photo correctly. This is a ‘dippin sauce’ (which I really have no idea what the heck that is…) and the name is Drunkin Priest. Okay so is this suppossed to be FUNNY?  I can just see the ya-hoos sitting in their kitchen:

Mr. Literal strikes again….

 

"Hey Honey! I just thought of the next big thing! HAND SOAP. Only they will actually be HANDS…. Get it?"

Whoa. This is off the creep-o-meter scale for me. Especially since I expect them to come out with a HAND towel any day now. And I hear a FOOT board is in the works.

AdTalk: All wrapped up.

It was Jill’s mad Saran Wrap skills that drove Mike Reynold’s crazy.
He came to the church picnic early just to watch her in action.
This made Jill glad, even though she thought Mike was a little clingy.
They have been married for 20 years now, and still know how to keep it fresh.

AdTalk: Insomniac Fashion

AdTalk: The Philosophy of Bitchy

 
Alexandria was philosophical about her modeling.
So when the creative director, Mr. Smissen asked her to try something different with her hands she replied:
“When you find the perfect pose, you stick with it darling!”
And for her, the perfect pose included her ‘one-hand-showing-only’ rule and a slight look of disgust towards the camera. But when Mr. Smissen [...]

AdTalk: Her Destiny

"See Honey! Part of being a real woman is allowing your body image insecurities to force you into a life of total deprivation and lack of self worth. Resulting in deep rooted eating disorders which are only slightly alleviated by a constant regiment of retail therapy to seek out matching outfits for the entire family. [...]

I’m Sorry.
I’m sorry I am so perfect.
Come to think of it…I am actually not sorry.
If you can’t deal with my perfectness- then you have a problem.
And you should apologize to me.

I accept.
Don’t let it happen again.
And I hope you don’t make a pattern of this kind of behavior.

Basically Charlie was a play-a.
He was always messing with the ladies. When he showed up to Sally Ann’s birthday bash in his killer blue suit he knew the girls would be all over him. Even his good buddy Morgan told him he was looking pretty ’slick’  in his new blue ensemble. So when [...]

Yummy. It’s a ‘girl on a stick’ popsicle!

The newly remodeled school was so politically correct and evolved it even had a bathroom for Ileene, the one legged girl in the 3rd grade. After all, everyone should feel like they fit in. The braille on the sign says "if you have two legs you are not permitted to enter. Take your two [...]

How it started…sorta.

Have you ever wondered what Marcy (um, that is me- your host) was like as a child? Have you ever wondered where the origins of AdTalk, AlbumTalk and A Model Story come from? Well, lets just say this short video reminded me so much of myself and my childhood I had to share it with [...]
