[GateandGarden]

Here's my latest. I love everything about this stuff (at least the body wash in this particular scent) and prefer it to the finer ones at the mall and such. :laugh: :nod:

[Neal]

Same here. That includes my obsession with 80's synth bands, Wonder Woman and Buffy The Vampire Slayer... :woohoo:

Nope, not everyone. Just those of us with good taste... ;)

[GardenStateGirlie]

I thought everyone liked 80's synth music? :shrug: I know I do...

I know a few people who are big haters but the 80's definitely rock my iPod. Other than Janet (if she has an iPod), i'm probably the only person with Frida's I Know There's Something Going On on hers :laugh:

I'm currently in the process of watching both seasons of Twin Peaks and then maybe I'll finish it all off with Blue Velvet.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Wasn't she on Kirstie Alley's new show and she shagged the KA's wannabe actor assistant :laugh:

[dissention]

STRANGE STRANGE STRANGE - the breathing guy :eek:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090756/

And the funny thing is that Dennis Hopper once proclaimed "I AM FRANK BOOTH."

What a ****ing weirdo he is. :laugh:

[strandinthewind]

Now, we can and should throw paint on him :laugh: :laugh:

Are you a detective or a pervert :laugh:

Nah, that was Blossom.

"WHOA!"

It is sooo good. :nod:

- You wanta go for a ride?
- No thanks.
- No thanks. What does that mean?
- I don't want to go.
- Go where?
- On a ride.
- A ride? Hell, that's a good idea. Okay, let's go. Hey, let's go!
:laugh: :thumbsup:

[dissention]

Against All Odds- Phil Collins
All of Duran Duran
Hayden Christensen's gay looking pictures
Trama: Life in the E.R.
Dog the Bounty Hunter- top that for bad, bitches


I don't feel guilty for loving ALL of those things. :woohoo:

[CreepingDeath]

****, hon. You win. :laugh: I've been watching the newly added channel NASA TV for like, 48 hours but that? is nothing compared to Bounty Hunter. What in the hell is that about anyway??

I honestly don't know. The show is a total train wreck. My friends and I mostly get a kick out of making fun of him, and his wife's ENORMOUS boobs. Have you seen those things? She could probably knock someone out with them. :eek:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Nah, that was Blossom.

"WHOA!"

:laugh:

We have to call her Blossom cuz her real name is a bitch to try to spell.

[dissention]

It is sooo good. :nod:

:laugh: :thumbsup:

:laugh:

Have you seen Wild At Heart? That one is *almost* as good as Blue Velvet. I love Diane Ladd in it. David Lynch is fabulous as long as you steer clear of Mulholland Drive. You'd probably like Twin Peaks, too.

[dissention]

:laugh:

Mayim Someweird**** is her name, I think.

[amber]

Right now my guilty pleasure is being suprised at everyone else's, and smirking, yes, just a little.... :laugh: Although, most of them I don't see why people feel guilty.

[strandinthewind]

. . . as you steer clear of Mulholland Drive . . . .

THAT was one head trip of a movie - I bet even he had no clue :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

I like Paris Hilton.

[ryan8472]

:laugh:

No, not yet. I was planning on borrowing Mulholland Drive from my friend, whats wrong with it?

BTW, I think I should make this my new sig. ~ Shut up! It's Daddy, you ****head! Where's my bourbon? :laugh:

[strandinthewind]

I like Paris Hilton.


so do I and I am not going to say that out loud

[dissention]

THAT was one head trip of a movie - I bet even he had no clue :laugh:

We had a huge thread about it a few weeks back and Sparky and I thought he was too Dada-esque with that **** movie. :laugh: It was bad, but one helluva fun trainwreck to watch. Up until Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Herring hopped into bed together, then it got baaaaaaad. Ann Miller's face was worth admission alone, though. :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

so do I and I am not going to say that out loud

:lol: :xoxo: I was up north with my Mom and something about "SheWhoShallNotBeNamed" came on TV and my Mom said, "I'm a fan." and I said, "I was just going to say that!"

[NaiveMelody23]

Steel Magnolias.

I really have this tihng for old southern women talking about things.

[amber]

I like Paris Hilton.
You win. Hands down.

[strandinthewind]

. . . Ann Miller's face was worth admission alone, though. :laugh:


Bless her heart - I LOVED her!!!!!

[dissention]

No, not yet. I was planning on borrowing Mulholland Drive from my friend, whats wrong with it?

1. No plot.
2. Poor pacing.
3. Horrific third act.
4. Ann Miller's plastic surgery.
5. An hour too long.
6. It's obvious that it's a re-edited television pilot.
7. Pretentious beyond belief.

And too many other things to count. :laugh: But it is entertaining.

Well, what do they have to say about you rolling of your floor in McDonough, Ga in a pink boa singing to madonna :laugh:

I remember it - then we had that pale imitation known as "Vanilla Sky" - which was okay enough I guess.

:laugh: You should!

Ooh, Peter Gallagher is in it, I love him. Add The OC to my guilty pleasures list.

[dissention]

I remember it - then we had that pale imitation known as "Vanilla Sky" - which was okay enough I guess.

Actually, Vanilla Sky was a remake of the Spanish movie Open Your Eyes. And the original was fabulous. Vanilla Sky...not so much.

And did you hear Brooke Shields go ape**** at Toothy Cruise?! :lol:

[GateandGarden]

You win. Hands down.I agree! :eek:

[estranged4life]

some of my recent guilty pleasures:

Root Beer Float Ice Cream

Peanut Butter & Fudge Ice Cream

Heavy Metal music (Always been/always will be a metalhead...Just unable to headbang due to my health)

Panasonic DMR-E55 DVD-R recorder (I love this sucker!)

and if I could go a &$*&^$%@#! day without a headache that would be my #1 guilty pleasure

[NaiveMelody23]

Well, what do they have to say about you rolling of your floor in McDonough, Ga in a pink boa singing to madonna :laugh:

- :sorry: - Couldn't resist :wavey:

I'm not sure, let me go to Dollywood and ask one of them :laugh: And, rolling on the floor with Madonnas: Immaculate Collection is perfectly fine

[amber]

I agree! :eek:
I know, but that made me think of a guilty pleasure I had - when in Vegas, I could not stop watching on VH1 (cause I don't get VH1 at home) the fabulous life of Paris Hilton, and then, the fabulous life of Nicole Ritchie. :shocked: Luckily, Mariel was there to help me make fun of it. Nevertheless, I could not turn it. Could not. That's a guilty pleasure, those trashtastic shows about famous people, like, if I had cable, I would never not watch E! True Hollywood Story.... :distress:

[CreepingDeath]

Heavy Metal music (Always been/always will be a metalhead..


Same here. I don't feel guilty about that one though.

However, I do feel guilty for liking that 80's song Dead Man's Party. And Madonna's video Take A Bow. And the Young Guns II soundtrack. And BSB's I Want It That Way.

I think that's enough from me. :o

[mondaymornin1]

. That's a guilty pleasure, those trashtastic shows about famous people, like, if I had cable, I would never not watch E! True Hollywood Story.... :distress:

I do have cable, and whenever I mess up and put the channel on E, I'm done being productive for the rest of the day! Those shows and pretty much any type of reality show will hold my attention for awhile :o

Umm, other guilty pleasures...trash novels, Disney cartoons, Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough, Taco Bell, and suntanning--in the actual sun, not a tanning bed, while reading aforementioned trash novels!

[SuzeQuze]

Fleetwood Mac is my guilty pleasure.

Yeah, was thinking The Ledge qualifies too as well as Stevie. :D

Check. Me, too. Okay, they're not that trashy of novels, they're just not that good. Fantasy, mystery...
never, never, put on E!.... :laugh:

Sorry, I hope I didn't offend you on your birthday! :xoxo: I just don't like that one.

I've never actually watched it but the commercials always make me laugh. I'm like, is this guy for real??!? :shocked:

Sometimes I'm amused by them and other times I get mad that talentless people have so much money. The ones with Britney are hard to take.

[dudden22]

I know, I got hooked on a Surreal Life Marathon one weekend. Mini Me from Austin Powers got drunk, was riding around on his scooter naked and peed on the weight bench. It was heaven. :laugh:

She looks like a man and she is crazy as hell. The last one I saw was date night and Mini Me was getting spanked in the bondage room.

[SuzeQuze]

She looks like a man and she is crazy as hell. The last one I saw was date night and Mini Me was getting spanked in the bondage room.

And she sounds like a man! I haven't seen that episode with Mini Me. Watching Chris Knight (aka Peter Brady) get drunk with chicks (sometimes even naked) on TV was a high point! :lol:

next week will be the 4th anniversary of me joining this crazed community :rolleyes:

Man, Doesnt seem like 4 years already :shrug:

We are kinda crazed huh? My join date says '03 but I really didn't start spending much time here until last fall. Congrats on your 4 years!

[CelticGypsy]

Cotton candy, even though I am over 45 :woohoo: :cool:
The Bee Gees music :woohoo: :cool:
Dressing like Stevie Nicks on Halloween and I am proud of this :angel: :cool:
Bugging my hubby so much and making him feel guilty that he will drive 20 hrs to go see Stevie Nicks with me in Las Vegas. Oh wait, that is my happiest moment :lol: :cool: ;)

[dissention]

Nicole is better.

:xoxo:

I love Nicole Richie. LOVE her.

[dissention]

trash novels

Jacqueline Susann is my ultimate guilty pleasure. Nothing beats Valley of the Dolls and, my personal favorite, Once Is Not Enough. Drug addicts, incest, murder, orgies, affairs, kinky sex, and UFOs. Love those books.

[amber]

Do you read them, now? I read them all in High School. They were great. I loved superimposing the characters of "Valley of the Dolls" onto what I knew about old movie stars....

[NaiveMelody23]

Dude. That album RULES. I don't care what ANYONE says. "Aquarium." Is. Awesome.

I'm gonna go listen to it now. :woohoo:

I <3 you, your my hero. If you were here i would hug you. I love that album and I even think their second album Aquarius was amazing. My bubble pop and swedish pop fantasys have never stopped

[dissention]

Do you read them, now? I read them all in High School. They were great. I loved superimposing the characters of "Valley of the Dolls" onto what I knew about old movie stars....

I haul them out every summer. :nod: A couple of years ago, they published the sequel to Dolls that Susann had written a treatment for before she died and it was fab. Not as good as the original, but still devilishly entertaining.

I LOVE her - and I love to sing with martini in hand and on my piano:

Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride

When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name

When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry

Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound

When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am

Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?
__________________________________________________________

In fact, I love her so much, I even like the Bette Midler/Nathan Lane mess caled "Isn't She Great" if for nothing more than Bette as JS barging into the warehouse where her books are being loaded on trucks with cakes and shrieking something about the Teamsters being the most well hung men in America :laugh:

and do not get me started on Stockard Channing as Florence "Flo" Maybelle :eek: SC is great and that was a power role - but OY the script.

hmmm, that's quite the good plan. I should re do those, hopefully I will still have the stomach for them...I'm much less "angsty star" now, then I was then, though...now I'm more "solve the mystery" and "which other worlds exist?" :laugh: Actually, though, i don't think I've read all hers, so... :nod:

[catinthedark]

I love this thread...

When asked a few months ago at a party what my guilty pleasure was... I said Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Hands down. :laugh:

Others:

"Big Brother" - every season I say I won't watch. Every season - addiction city!

"Back in... '80, '81, '82, '83..." You get the idea.

What Not to Wear

"The Bodyguard"

Angels - Jessica Simpson

Kelly Clarkson - tell me you don't bounce up and down when "Since You Been Gone" comes on!

One or two (or many) songs by Celine Dion (sorry, she's like a hometown girl to me. I've met her mom...)

Marshmallow Cookies (You know the ones? Cookie on the bottom, marshmallow glob, covered in chocolate? Perfection in a cookie)

[strandinthewind]

ooooohhhh, Strand. Oh, oh. Ooooohhhhh!!!! :laugh: And don't get ME started on Stockard in anything. It's my new "must see!". :nod:


Now that you have met me, can't you see me on a piano with a LARGE matini a cig and belting out that song :eek: :laugh:

Now that you have met me, can't you see me on a piano with a LARGE matini a cig and belting out that song :eek: :laugh:
No, dude, it's beyond that. I actually can see you accosting some random girl in Caesars who happens to be playing a piano, and then, while she is flustered and trying to get away because she, god forbid, doesn't know the chords to Sara, taking OVAH the piano, with the martini and cig, and belting out any damn thing you please!!! Who loves it? ME!!!! :laugh: :xoxo: And again, I have to point out, Belting is an understatement!!!! :cool: But now, I'm kicking myself, why, oh why, didn't we bust out Queen of Hearts? :distress:

When she says "TEAMSTERS" in that deep voice, I lose it. :laugh: And I laugh hysterically when she yells at that bloody tree in Central Park. Such a bad movie, but definitely a guilty pleasure. I LOVE when Midler and Hyde Pierce are editing Dolls and they have a discussion over "his dingle blew in the breeze."

Stockard was a hoot.

"This is your Aunt Mabel and I brought farm fresh eggs. Heil Hitler!"

"If a man ever bought that for me, not only would I have sex with him, but I would ENJOY IT!"

That movie is a gay mans wet dream.

I LOVE her - and I love to sing with martini in hand and on my piano:

Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride

When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name

When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry

Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound

When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am

Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?

Fech. I prefer...

I'LL PLANT MY OWN TREE AND I'LL MAKE IT GROOOOOOOOOOOW!

No, dude, it's beyond that. I actually can see you accosting some random girl in Caesars who happens to be playing a piano, and then, while she is flustered and trying to get away because she, god forbid, doesn't know the chords to Sara, taking OVAH the piano, with the martini and cig, and belting out any damn thing you please!!! Who loves it? ME!!!! :laugh: :xoxo: And again, I have to point out, Belting is an understatement!!!! :cool: But now, I'm kicking myself, why, oh why, didn't we bust out Queen of Hearts? :distress:


She soooooooo ran away from us -- you'd have thought her hair was on fire. And who the hell was she anway. She was all gussied up in that sort of velvet number and she is upstairs in this random area playing that piano with, I think, sheet music. Poor thing - but the sum of us with me at the helm must have scared the bejesus out of her :laugh: Didn't we follow her on the escalator too :eek:

I believe we (you guys) did...but you were not the sole scarifer, I believe GDW had her hand squawley in that! :laugh: I think she worked there, and was just randomly messing around on the piano....poor thing. She was obviously not adequately prepared for the magnificence that is the Strand, let alone the all of us. :cool: She's just lucky I don't play the piani!
:lol: :laugh:
Now that I'm remembering that, it was hella funny!!! :lol: Omigod, then on the escalator, right after, there was your ear searing rendition of...something...New York, New York? I was just mesmerized that anyone's singing voice could be so loud..I thought I had a belt on me...oh, no... :laugh: :eek: :xoxo:

You sure don't need a mic. You, Lupone, and Bette. 'nuff said. And you beat them!!!! :laugh: High kicks? oohhh, strand...ooooooohhhhhhhh!!!! Why, oh why, were we all robbed of your presence on the broadway stage? Too much singy, not enough acty? I can only begin to surmise.... :distress: :xoxo:
