"...from Christ the Redeemer to the nuns, including the elf. Thank you, baby."
You guys, this band called Kuinka (formerly Rabbit Wilde) will be at
Brighton Music Hall (formerly Harpers Ferry) on Saturday night. I,
Michelle DiPoala (formerly Lexi Kahn), might go.

thought I made it clear about the cake balls.

I just said a sentence that ended with...

Good Boy Kitty
This morning I was out on the porch having my coffee. Next door, Lili was also out on her porch having her coffee, and I saw her big gray cat saunter over and sit next to her. Lili patted his head and stroked him between his good boy ears, and good boy kitty rubbed his good boy head against her. Such a lovely, soothing and sweet sight to see on an otherwise fraught summer morning in the city; what a good boy kitty.
I don't know that gray ca…
Louie
I've always been enchanted by the idea of a Frog Prince. Louie is the second creation in a new family of dolls that I'm calling Royal Street, built on a baby onesie just like Geoffrey (whose tummy and belly button ring you can see in the background here). Louie is made from neckties mostly, head and hands from a soft white baby blanket I found at the thrift store and used like a bolt of fabric. Geoffry's also made of the same fabric…
Geoffrey Boy
Don't you love the way big birds strut around? I'm making some little birds too, of course, the kind that look like if they come alive, they'd hop about like chirpy little city birds. But when you look at a guy like Geoffrey here...well, when you're this proud a bird, one simply does not hop . Geoffrey Boy's got a strut . He is the first creation in a new family of dolls that I'm calling Royal Street.
I'm a Blogger On My Mother's Side? My Baby Book
We do not have your typical mother-daughter relationship, JoAnna and I, to say the least. If I tell most people even one thing about my mom, they think I must be making her up. Like my weird and awesome imaginary friend. But she's real! What we lack in tradition, we certainly make up for in...well I don't have a word for it yet. Take today's realization, okay? You guys will get a kick out of this. This is bananaballz. And this could…

Admiral Jackson: Let's All Take A Beat
About these allegations against Admiral Jackson. This is a puzzling story. I smell a rat. Something is off about this whole thing. First of all, these salacious stories about Admiral Jackson's history of excessive drinking and rage-fueled abusive rants are just rumors, at this point. That's the word missing from this national gossip train. I'm disappointed and pissed at the media furor that's treating this like it is all fact. May…
Peak Gen X...Blossom & Luke & Duckie & ME THIS TIME?!
This is an incredibly romantic moment, and you're ruining it for me!
He is such an ape
Here's what landed in my email nine minutes ago (5:30pm EST). Yes I'm on
the devil's email list, and I also tune in to the Hairdo McTrumpbutt
shows on Fox sometimes, because never turn your back on these people.
Think he's havin' a bad day? #MAGAMOTHERFUCKERS
Necco or Necc-no?
Being
a New England girl at heart, these damn things are the most divisive
thing, by and large, in my local network. Everybody either loves them or
hates them with the heat of a...well...something really hot...and everybody is sure the
other guys are frikkin' nuts. So deeply and forever divided a group of people! Second only to that part of
Connecticut that's like half Yankee / half Red Sox fans. (Note: I am
pro-Yankee, anti-Necco …
You Don't Know Rosie (Who Is Rosie the Riveter?)
Rosie
the Riveter, and the perpetuated myth about who she was and what she
stands for, is an example of "collective misconception," the
phenomena known as the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect is a societal phenomenon where a group of people repeat a
false thing so many times, others pick it up and keep repeating it, and then eventually the false thing "becomes true." It is kind of
terrifying when you think about it.
