For the record… June 21, 2009

Chloe has been eating Puppy Pops LONG before the First Dog ever thought about it…. I’ve never intended to get political on this blog, I just hope the Presidential visit to my beloved Dairy Godmother doesn’t result in longer lines!

“Don’t let these false eyelashes lead you to believe that I’m as shallow as I look ’cause I run true and deep”                                                                                                                                                                          -Dolly Parton, “Backwoods Barbie” History shows that when our country is in a crisis, financial or otherwise, lipstick sales increase.   The small luxury of splurging on something glossy and glam appears to appease [...]
