Yes. I was just about to make this same comment! It looks just like Cover girl to my eyes :-)

It was ostensibly much less horrible in many ways, then. I like the seatback screens. 

They remind me of the models in Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More” video in those checkerboard outfits and tall hairdos.

I loved Kate Bush when I was young - by the time I was older, she seemed hopelessly earnest and soooooooo corny. Now that I’m older still, I’m coming back around to her. 

There’s a (former) child actress named Parker Posey too, which is the kind of trivia I can really only use in a thread like this. (the indie film actress is Parker Christian Posey, and the former child actress is Parker McKenna Posey.) 

I watched a few minutes of it (I can’t stand Jenny McCarthy and that was my limit) and wondered why Ken Jeong gave up medicine for foolishness like this. I guess he thought he’d be getting a higher grade of foolishness. He probably is paid more for this than any job I’ve ever had, so. 

Damn!

Kylie has displayed an uncanny look to her face (as have Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston, two who are lauded for their beauty and skin quality) over time. Cost of doing business, I suppose.

This was pre-smartphone, so I could not entertain myself that way. I didn’t know I could bring a book, so I walked into one of…

I was just there, funny enough. 

It’s still on PBS. 

Yup. That’s when my family met him, when he was sixteen or so. 

Raimi always looks like he hasn’t slept in a very long time. 

Clearly :-)

One of my fb friends is obsessed with Mayor Pete and posts about him several times a day. I can’t get into it.

omg that Nick Cave story. Which isn’t really a Nick Cave story, but totally is at the same time. I once saw Nick Cave change his shirt in the middle of a vintage shop in Royal Oak, Michigan. That was fun.
