Pistachio-Chocolate

My favorite place for frozen yogurt is this little hole in the wall on Avenue A in NYC. Its usually served to you by this nice fellah in the photo and you can get pistachio-chocolate SWIRL.

Heavenly.

Brunch. Eat it.

Fun Betty

Today I noticed a new product in Bed, Bath & Beyond: Betty - a hair coloring product for your....

pubes!

There is an assortment of colors for all different shades of "hair down there": black, brown, auburn, blonde and (my personal favorite) hot pink! I suppose now that the trend of getting Brazilian waxes is coming under some criticism companies are trying to give woman a new way to get creative with their bush. (See this month's Glamour Magazine, p. 237; also remember Amy Poehler addressing Britney's clam on SNL: "There was a time when a lady garden was as big as a slice of New York pizza. Then it turned into an upside down John Waters mustache!")?

If only this product had been around years ago - maybe Samantha on Sex and the City and other woman experiencing grey hair down there wouldn't have had such tramatic "Ronald McDonald" experiences. Unless, of course, that was the look they were going for.

The Bird

Have you ever noticed that sometimes, in springtime, the evergreen trees seem to be flipping you the bird. I find it very offensive and give the finger right back.

When Franny met Sally

No, that's not Meg Ryan's little sister on the left there, that's me, Francine. Of course you wouldn't recognize me since that's the back of my bleach-blonde head but this is the only picture I have of me working with her in Austin, TX in 2004. Here we are at the Las Manitas diner on Congress Ave with the late, great Ann Richards.

I'm not sure what I miss the most from Austin: Meg, Ann, the music or migas...

Blue, Lime-Straw Face Baby

This is my friend's pregnant belly. I hope the baby comes out looking exactly like this.

Sticky Scouring Pads

I took great pride today in making one woman laugh out loud at Trader Joe's. I stuck these bright-colored nylon scouring pads to my sweater to see if anyone would notice. Of course, most people were frantically rushing around with their heads down so that they could finish their shopping before the lunchtime rush came in. I finally realized that I looked kind of crazy and no one was even paying attention anyways so I took it off. Right as I did this one woman noticed me and burst out laughing!

Mission accomplished.
