What Would You Sacrifice for Your Marriage?

What would you sacrifice for your marriage? Sacrificial love is obviously on my mind since Saturday and on Mick’s too, since he was the one came up with the idea for this blog. Saturday in Australia and New Zealand was a day when we remember the sacrifice made by many during war time where men sacrificed their lives that their wives and families might live in peace. There have been other examples where men have been hailed as heroes after saving their wife. Last year in a blizzard, a man sacrificed his life in for his wife and friend. That’s … Continue reading →

Farrah Fawcett Back in Hospital and Michelle Obama Back on TV–Maybe

Farrah Fawcett is facing yet another setback in her long battle against cancer. According to reports, the 62-year-old former “Charlie’s Angels” star is back in a Los Angeles hospital. Several papers are reporting that the actress was admitted Thursday with complications associated with cancer. The TV star was first diagnosed with the insidious disease in 2006 and has undergone chemotherapy and aggressive experimental treatments in the years since. Fawcett received good news when her cancer went into remission several months after her initial diagnosis, but the disease returned in 2007 leading the beauty to seek alternative treatments in Germany. Fawcett’s … Continue reading →

Barack and Michelle Obama Visit England

The Obamas have landed – in England that is. Our first family visited their Royal family and Barack gave the Queen quite a gift – a loaded iPod. That’s right; our hip president gave the 82 year old British monarch an iPod, but not just any iPod. He loaded it with videos of her 2007 visit to the U.S. and Broadway songs. There were 40 show songs on iPod including tunes from “West Side Story,” “My Fair Lady,” “South Pacific,” “The King and I,” and “Oklahoma.” Barack also gave the Queen a songbook for “The King and I,” signed by … Continue reading →

In Pursuit of Michelle Obama’s Arms

They’re everywhere! First Lady Michelle Obama has bared her toned biceps, triceps and shoulders at several Inaugural Balls, on the covers of Vogue and People, at her husband’s first televised address to Congress and in her official White House photograph. The 5-foot-11-fitness buff’s arms are the talk of gyms from coast-to-coast. Trainers claim female clients are begging them to create fitness regimes so they too can sport arms of steel like Obama’s. The 45-year-old mother of two obviously watches what she eats and works out, but even if you were to duplicate the first lady’s exercise routine to the letter, … Continue reading →

What is the World Coming To? Obama Girl Dolls Making Headlines Again

Remember those controversial Sasha and Malia Obama dolls that have been the subject of way too many of my blogs? Well, apparently, people don’t want to bid aloha to them just yet. In fact, here’s some news that shouldn’t surprise anyone: The Obama girl look-alikes are HOT, HOT, HOT! You saw that coming, right? A couple of months ago the foot-tall dolls, which were marketed as part of the TyGirlz Collection, were introduced to the world. Sweet Sasha sported a pink dress and green leggings with her hair in braids. Meanwhile, Marvelous Malia donned a ponytail, green long t-shirt and … Continue reading →

Aloha to Obama Girl Dolls

Mom-in-Chief Michelle Obama spoke and Beanie Babies maker Ty finally listened. The toy maker just renamed the dolls that bear an uncanny resemblance to First Daughters Malia and Sasha Obama. Last month First Lady Michelle Obama went public saying that she felt it was “inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes.” But, at the time, Ty reps maintained that the dolls were not exact replicas of the Obama girls and had no plans to pull them from shelves. Now, in the spirit of compromise (or threats from loyal customers), Ty has decided to change the dolls’ names. The … Continue reading →

First Mom Speaks Out about Obama Girl Dolls

Michelle Obama thinks her two daughters are dolls, but she doesn’t want the rest of the world to see them that way. In one of her first official moves, President Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle went public denouncing a popular toy maker for marketing dolls with the same names as her children, Malia and Sasha. Not only do the dolls share the same names as the young Obama offspring, but they also look remarkably similar to the first daughters as well. (See for yourself by clicking here.) The resemblance didn’t sit well with the new first lady, who took a swing … Continue reading →

Straightening hair sure has its privileges… especially if the locks you are working on belong to the nation’s newest first lady. Michelle Obama has guaranteed her hairstylist a place in history, in addition to helping him land a development deal to star in a new reality show. Johnny Wright… remember the name.
