Tammy Faye Quotables

Tammy Faye Baker On Dieting...

"I don't eat salad. That's where I'm different from the California folks. I like meat, potatoes and gravy, that's the kind of girl I am….And dessert. Never miss dessert. Sometimes I get my dessert first, you know, to keep my priorities straight and make sure I can eat it. 'Cause if you save it to last sometimes you don't order it and that's- that's a sin."

"I've been living off cookies for a day and a half now. But there's cake somewhere here, and I want some."

[VC: I totally know what she means. TOTALLY.]

ELECTION HELPFULS...

Here is a link to help us remember 2000 as the 2004 election approaches... You have probably already seen it, but it is worth viewing more than once...

GRAND THEFT AMERICA

What the fuck is wrong with people?

In 1993, Richard Linklater directed a brilliant movie called Dazed and Confused.

It was not only just a great movie, but starred Matthew McConaughey, Wiley Wiggins, Parker Posey, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovavich, and the lovely Joey Lauren Adams.

Anyway, these three ya-hoos - Bobby Wooderson, Andy Slater and Richard "Pink" Floyd - are suing Universal Studios because the main characters in the movie were based on them.

Okay. Fine.

But, boys? Wasn't that 11 years ago?

Oh, yeah. It was.

Get this:

"We had fun in high school, but there is nothing true about that movie. Yet, I am having to deal with it all the time," said Floyd, who works at a car dealership in Huntsville, Texas, where the men went to high school.

or...

The men said the negative characterizations in the film have made their lives miserable and caused their neighbors to think poorly of them.

Oh for the love of everything holy. I might venture to say that these men need some cash and couldn't come up with anything better than this. I can't even believe for a moment that this movie has torn their lives apart. I can't believe their neighbors think poorly of them based on this film. I felt it might have something to do with the car on the blocks in their yard, or the fact that they stay up way past 2 A. M. on weeknights, sitting in their hot tubs surrounded only by a chain-link fence, getting drunk and feeling up their buddies' wives - and yacking at the top of their lungs. Or the fact that their seven year old receives absolutely NO supervision after school, and has, more than once, set someone else's property on fire. That might have something to do with it. I know these boys, even though I don't know them. They were my neighbors, my classmates, my boys while I was growing up. UGH.

I mean, really, who DIDN'T use illegal drugs, smoke cigarettes, and get drunk and frisky in high school - especially their senior year??? Maybe Penelope Barrett - but that is an entirely different story for a different time.

I found this on the 'internets'.

The Donald Nude. Finally.

It appears that avante garde pop artist and former New York Downtowner, Albert Crudo, is at it again. According to the NYPost - he has painted a full frontal nude of Donald Trump entitled, "The Fondald: My Tower Is Bigger Than Your Tower," and it is hanging in vegetarian restaurant Bliss in Williamsburg.

Two reasons for me not to eat there.
No meat.
Donald's meat.

Read the story here .

See Albert's work here . I especially like his work with Barbie "The Life and Death of America's Plastic Princess ".

Who wants 'em?

Ginger probably has some, too, but she is too sleepy to post.

PHONE CALL

I promised Ginger that my obsession with club kid killer Michael Alig would not take over this blog.

If you will look to the left, you will notice that "This is not Ginger's Blog". You will also notice that she has not contributed.

So, until Ginger contributes (it only takes a moment, Ginger, really), I will continue to ensure you are able to read WOW Report's Phone Call from a Felon each week.

And really, who wouldn't want to? She won't admit it, but she checks it weekly, too.

DEATH BY BLOCKS

In my formative years, I was obsessed with LEGOs - you know, those fabulous little blocks that you could piece together to build castles and tanks - or if you were me, little tiny Broadway sets(complete with dressing rooms, and REAL lights!).

Broadway sets are one thing, this is quite another.

In fact, I am a little scared.

Excuse me.

I May Have Been Born Just Plain White Trash

But Fancy was the name ... of my clothing line for Dillard's.

Reba McEntire, Country Western Singer and Actress (she apparently has a television sit-com, and I remember a stint as Annie Oakley on Broadway after Bernadette Peters left Annie Get Your Gun...) recently announced that she will be launching a women's clothing line for a chain of stores we have down south called Dillard's.

This is one of those things that I am just dying to see.

I am sure she will have some sporty casualwear, maybe something progressive, yet conservative for the office, and, hopefully, some fancy, sparkly evening wear any Little Rock prom princess or drag queen might be able to sqeeze into and take a stroll through the town square. Or wear, inappropriately, to an afternoon wedding.

I CANNOT WAIT.

We LOVE Rome...

Apparently, in Italy, you can make love in the men's room (or ladies', depending) in a bar, as long as the door is shut.

A Swiss couple was accused of committing obscene acts after the owner of a bar in the northern Italian town of Como caught them having sex in the lavatory, Ansa news agency reported.
State prosecutors demanded a six-month prison term for the un-named male defendant and a five-month term for his partner.

[VC: That seems a bit harsh, doesn't it?]

This may not appeal to many of you, but having recently "known of" a "couple" that tip-toed away from their party to try just that, I have to agree with the Italian court and the Honorable Judge Luciano Storaci, who threw out the case.

However, he fined the Swiss man 200 euros ($246) for breaking the lock on the lavatory after he was caught with his trousers down.
"If the barman had given me time to get dressed then nothing would have happened," Ansa quoted the Swiss woman as saying. (Thanks to Yahoo)
