I do this all the time, pick things that will be fashionable eventually. The sneakers are really spectacular, I have to admit.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361775888847203043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34364708.post-59211655107247939232008-03-17T13:29:00.000-07:002008-03-17T13:29:00.000-07:00MJ - what if I not only got the reference but reme...MJ - what if I not only got the reference but remember seeing the movies?

My personal favorite occured in 1992. The 20-year-old casting director asked me, "How would you describe yourself?" I replied, "I'm the Margaret Dumont of the 90s." The casting director said, "Who's that?" For any of you having a senior moment, she was the society lady in all the Marx Brothers movies...<BR/>Aloha,<BR/>Martha JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34364708.post-36513629431867997972008-03-17T11:16:00.000-07:002008-03-17T11:16:00.000-07:00Hmmm ditto, I was having a really bad day (hangove...Hmmm ditto, I was having a really bad day (hangover from a really bad weekend) and this has helped.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957439866764235491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34364708.post-75351507648991630882008-03-17T08:46:00.000-07:002008-03-17T08:46:00.000-07:00michael, I usually post anytime after 11 pm and I ...michael, I usually post anytime after 11 pm and I just put another time and day on them.
