Dolly Parton

Because she knows she's not dumb, and not blonde.

Because she seems like the nicest person with the best attitude ever about everything.

Because children's literacy is important to her and she gives books to kids.

Because she's an excellent song writere (uhm, Jolene anyone)

Because she'd probably be an excellent dinner guest, and I would love to have a beer with her and just shoot the shit.

Because I don't care what kind of work she's had done to herself, Dolly is fucking HOT!

skoobys

I love it because it is so close to the Egyptian Theatre and lately I've been seeing a lot of movies and am always in need a delicious quick bite to eat, and skoobys has the best hot dogs, the most rock attitude and when I went in they asked what they should call me, I said, "You may call me fabulous."

And when my food is ready they say "Fabulous! Your food is ready."

I heart them and their kick-ass coolness.

Ronald Colman

Have you seen him A Tale of Two Cities?

Perhaps in Shangri-la?

He is handsome and oh what a voice.

Go Netflix him now!

My Daily Bread

I like the fact that I can make fluffy french toast or a healthy sandwich by reaching into one bag.

I'd like to think that it's true love between the slices of wheat and white.

I'd like to think of me and my guy as an "unlikely twosome".

The perfect slice are the swirly half slices in the middle of the loaf!

Go Trader Joe's!

Griffith Park Observatory

It reopens May 14th 2006

I'll probably get married here. By the sun dial.

Probably I'll wear a comet on top of my head.

And then my guests will look through the telescope up at the stars and planets.

Cape Cod

I walked on snow covered dunes and was confused by the sun.

I ate pizza and wore boots and my steps crunched in the snow.

The Ocean is in the East

Gene Wilder

Do I need to sing the praises of Gene Wilder? Doesn't his resume as a genius say enough?

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
The Producers
The Frisco Kid

and he just did the voice of the Mock Turtle.

Did I ever tell you that I could marry a man that knows the Mock Turtle Song or The Walrus and The Carpenter by heart?

I think yes. Yes. I say.

Do we love him? Oh yes.

Charles Dickens

Because he wrote A Christmas Carol. Because he was a master of the written word. Because he has a whole feeling of a time and a city named after him. Because he's important. Because I bet he'd be nice enough to invite you over for dinner and shop talk.

Star Trek: The Original Series

who can really choose who to love most amongst the cast of Star Trek: The Original Series?

Oh sure, Captain Kirk has his charms, and we've all been there done that.

Mr. Spock, sexy steel eyed, emotionless, logical. You might be the gal (or guy) to make him crack a smile.

Uhura, oh, Uhura, with those short skirts and that lovely smile. She can "communicate" with me anytime.

"Bones", well, that might mean more than one thing, if you know what I mean...

And Sulu, let's not forget Sulu. Remember the one with him and the epee!

Let's just say we have a crush on all 420 crew members of the Starship Enterprise. I swear I won't call you a slut.

First Crush!

This weeks crush, HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, comes in the form of a tortured Chinese love story. Beautifully shot, sublime acting by actors who are, all three, tres easy on the eyes.

There's everything a gal could desire: sword play, love, war.

I keep hoping that in one of these movies, they're all going to live happily ever after, but, well, a gal can't have everything.

as an added bonus, as I entered the cineramadome to fall in love with this movie, I saw Viggo Mortensen, who is always crushworthy and certainly would have been on the crush list if I were keeping tabs then.
