ByeBye

Anyways - maybe the POST invited her over, and they ate their head editor. I know, Ms Franklin is a she, but she is a 'they' as she could probably be split up and count as a group of people. Or something.

ByeBye

Sorry I had to go there.

So sweet.

I saw Aretha perform last weekend. Over several Jumbotrons. If that woman considers herself a sex symbol, get her and Kristie Alley together immediately, it would be a great variety hour.

I saw that Gladys-less Pips clip when i was a kid and i've never heard the song since without wishing that Gladys would just sit out a verse or two b/c those Pips kill it without her...

There's something very charming about her having one of another body part falling out while she's flashing that smile over her right shoulder. Does she have a left profile, BTW? I've never seen one in a photo.

:(:(:(

She suffers from occasional bouts of awful taste and should just stop pretending she's sex-symbol-hot--it was disconcerting even back in '01. But I like Mariah. (Being gaHEIGH has nothing to do with it, I swear.) The Mimi album could kill people, it's so rad.
