Happy Lilwayneday

Happy 29th birthday to Lil Wayne. Look out. Almost time for your dirty thirties, Weezy. It's tough to imagine you getting even dirtier, however. Ovaries don't seem to stand much of a chance with you around as it is, sir. If your twenties are any indication of your potential for dirtiness, then all the young ladies will be dropping like flies in the coming decade. Have mercy on them, Wayne. And wear a condom, for crying out loud. You're knocking up errbody all over the globe. Give some other guys a chance, will ya'? Happy birthday.

Important Addition

I almost f**ked up big-time... It's Bryan Ferry's 66th birthday today. Olivia Newton-John be damned! 

I would kick myself for a full year if I failed to create a post for Bryan today. He's a fabü fave. 

Better late in the day today than tomorrow, Bryan. Love you, man. Thanks for being so g.d. suave. You are the epitome of posh fabulousness and all things graceful. 

Sheesh. Lots of cursing in this post. Far from appropriate for a Bryan Ferry tribute. Deal with it, dahling.

Happy Olivianewtonjohnday

Like most women (and some men, several of whom I associate with), I wanted to be Olivia Newton-John when I was a girl. I lied to all the kids on the playground at my new elementary school and told them I was Sandy from Australia. My accent was atrocious. I was soon found out, however. Curses! 

Happy 63rd birthday, Olivia. You're still quite fabulous, dahling.

Happy Pedroalmodovarday

Happy 62nd birthday to bad-ass director, producer and screenwriter, Pedro Almodovar.

Just think, Pedro: You're the same age and zodiac sign as The Boss, but you're a thousand times cooler. There's a birthday gift for ya', sir.

I'm sorry, Boss fans. I know you loathe me. We just don't gel, Bruce and I. There's nothing that can be done about it.

P.S. I quit.

If Bruce Springsteen Is The Boss, Then I Quit!

Oh, Bruce. I've tried to love you. I know nearly everybody else on the damn planet loves you, but I just don't think it's gonna work out between us. I'm sorry. No... please... don't cry...

It's OK, Brucie. Shhhh... now, there... it's OK... shhhh. Huuuush lil' bebby, don' say a worrrd. Come on, now. It'll be alright, sweetie.  Here's a tissue.

Now let me see a smile. C'mon, you can do it. Who's got a smile for me?

There we go! There's a smile! Attaboy! Way to go, Bruce! 

Yeah, yeah... that's Bon Jovi... whatever. Same difference. These all-American, ballad-loving Jersey rockers are all the same to me: BORRRRINGG!

Happy 62nd birthday, Bruce. Stop crying. 

R.I.P., Clarence Clemons!

Triple-Fab Birthday

Not one... not two... but THREE of my icons have birthdays today. Joy to the world! Let's admire them, shall we? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF1aUGGuhYY

Johnette Napolitano: 54

Nick Cave: 54

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5cbNcoVkBM&feature=related

And, last but certainly not least, Joan Jett is 53.

I love you, Joan. You are one of the reasons I am who I am. You were there for me when I was a geeky, unpopular kid in small town Indiana, dreaming of more. I didn't have many friends to play with, but I had you in my gargantuan headphones. I obsessed over your pics and thought: If this chick can love rock 'n' roll and wear leather pants, damn it, so can I. To this very day, I still love rock 'n' roll and I still wear leather pants. Immense thanks and happy birthday, seksi betch. You positively rule.

Murray Birthday

Bill Murray is 61 today. He's so fabulous that I simply must post not one, but TWO videos. Wooooo! You see, I couldn't choose between my two fave Bill Murray songs. Thus, I give you both. Please enjoy. Happy birthday, Bill. I would slap the hell out of you, sir.

Barry Birthday

It's Barry White's 67th birthday. Now I'm all misty-eyed. Man, I love Barry White. Please tell me you do, too. If you don't, it's probably best that you don't tell me. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to pull my glove from my handbag and slap you soundly with it. Viva Barry!

Happy Colonelsandersday

Colonel Harland Sanders: 121. Go, Colonel. 

When I was a wee schoolgirl, the whole class laughed at me during a group reading exercise because I pronounced colonel 'cole-O-nell.' I was also shamed for repeatedly mispronouncing corps as 'corpse.' 

The soldier quickly moved up the ranks, ultimately becoming a cole-O-nell in the Army Corpse. 

Sheesh. It's a f**king wonder I ever passed third grade. 

About the pic up there. It's a placard (ema) typically used at Shinto shrines. People write their prayers on the back and leave them at the shrine for the gods to answer. This ema was hanging from the ceiling at a Japanese KFC.

Who prays to Cole-O-nell Sanders? Seriously. He's dead, which technically makes him a Shinto god, but still... c'mon.

I deem this ema both the most ridiculous AND fabulous thing of the day.
