It's About Fashion

I’m a blues jeans kinda gal, but for two weekends every January, it’s all about fashion!

Bridal fashion that is.

No, I don’t get married every year. (I’m not Elizabeth Taylor or Zsa Zsa Gabor) Every year I am the commentator for the big Bridal Show in Madison and in Milwaukee.

 

I’ve been doing this for almost 20 years and look forward to it every year.  I get to work with the same models from Chicago, the same DJ from Milwaukee and Pat and Larry Brady from Joy Publications.  Over the years, I’ve come to know a lot about the world of weddings and the gowns are always so beautiful that they make me want to get married all again. It does crack me up though, working with models and others in the world of fashion because I am the least fashion forward person I know. Now, if it were fashion BACKWARD, my tie dye wardrobe would work! But I DO get to get dressed up a little for the show. One day I wore my velvet top with the shiny butterflies, and the next day, my red velvet top. Since I’m only seen from the waist up (like the TV people) I DO wear black jeans.

So one weekend down, and one weekend in Milwaukee to go! Can’t wait.

World's Worst iPod: Torn Between Two Lovers by Mary MacGregor
Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Kitty used to be a Goth--almost
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture. I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons. 1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels. 2) I used to...

World's Worst iPod: Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...

World's Worst iPod: It's a Miracle by Barry Manilow
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
