Just because...

TOO FAB NOT TO POST!!!!!

A little late, but still....

Halloween '09 still deserves documentation! Although not as exciting as I had hoped (last minute cancellation... drat!) the 'rents had a grand old time as we once again paraded the streets of West Hollywood to merge with those just as enthusiastic about dressing up as we were. My father reprized his legendary role as "Scary"King while I opted for the much more sensual Jessica Rabbit. My mother. the maverick, went as some sort of ghoul-witch that, despite some doubt, turned out very eerie. It was a fun night with some great sights and even a special TV spot for my all-too-willing father! So let's take down the pumpkins and retire the Jack-O-Lantern; Thanksgiving is coming up fast and we need to strategize and prepare in every way possible!

It's Official: The Twins are Rockers!

On the road again, the twins took Cleveland by storm, where all that is rock and roll comes together: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and yet another fabulous Bruce Concert. Other crazed fans converged as well--a concert and a retrospective at the HOF...what real fan could pass it up! And as expected, Hall of Famers took one look at the twins, and immediately inducted them...unfortunately their resumes were a bit light for a dedicated exhibit space. Let's review 2 key credentials: the subject matter expertise in all that is Bruce Springsteen, and the uncontested courage and willingness to break into song and dance regardless of location and quality of the song (as long as it's got a good beat and easy to dance to...). Although the D and D argued their case...the only case they left with was a small plastic guitar case with a t shirt, a couple of buttons, a lunch bag, and unlimited admission for the next 12 months. Fabulous photo includes Vancouver twin favorite Mo who joined in the festivities. Tramps like us...baby we were born to run!

Halloween + Almost Full Moon = Ali Babba and the Cowboy

This Halloween equation perfectly sums up a monster mish/mash celebration at Do's. Bonfire, pizza, and kettle corn (sorry lil' D, we didn't save you any...kind of a debacle if you know what I mean!); add in fabulous neighbors, miscellaneous board members and a 2 year old monkey with a banana in her pocket who thought the party was in her honor (and honestly, it kind of turned out to be)--well that basically encapsulates Halloween 2009. Great fun and a narrow escape from diving head first into a vortex of pizza and artichoke dip (phew!), basically another grand recipe for top rated twinflix entertainment. Wish you could have been there Daphne!

Hamilton Homecoming 2009!!!

Sorry this debrief is so late, but little D has been too preoccupied with Halloween to notice much else. However, a pre-Halloween event that should definitely not be overlooked was the Homecoming dance attended by me and my BFFF Serena! All dressed up with somewhere to go, we ruled the school as we danced all night, from 8 to midnight, a display that would have made Di and Do weep with pride. It was all a blast, from the hair-and-makeup prep show to the dance to the post boogie-down In-N-Out run (fun fact: most In-N-Outs are open until midnight or later). Would have having a date made the night more fun? Of course not! It was just a girls night out with great results. So thanks to Serena for coming along! I hope this will not be out last!

Ricahrd Simmons Adventure- Part 2

Ok, so maybe the second installment of what seems to be an ongoing series was not as successful as the first time around. Richard was much more hands-on (which is not something to be appreciated when sweating that much)and about 1/2 the class was taught by the other teachers. It's one thing to be working out with a slightly frail 60-70 something year old man. It's quite another to have his much-fitter-than-thou trainers up there. Still, it was all in good fun and Richard played tons of records while threatening to lock us in and play Anne Frank. Besides, after the painful procedures of sit-ups and choriographed aerobics, there was a delicious Pavillions lunch and a trip to TX in store for Do. So how was the return to Richard Simmonsville? Not bad, although now we have better expectations of what a regular class is like.

The Richard Simmons Adventure!!!!

Thanks must be paid to the twins' super-diva BFF Victoria for coming up with such a fabulous birthday idea!!! True, it was not the twins' birthday, nor mine, but we felt like it was as we spent one amazing hour (or so) doing aerobics with the incredible Richard Simmons! The party arrived to the studio that morning in (of course) our best 80s wear and Richard was just thrilled to bits! He took special notice of Di and Do (dressed exacly alike), so they may have been Richard's favorites, to the jealousy of everyone else. As a special treat, Richard played all 80s music during our workout and there were even beauty queen tears in our eyes when Bruce's "Dancing in the Dark" came on. Plus, at the end of the class, even though all of Victoria's guests (and there were at least 40) were sweaty hot messes, Richard took a bunch of pictures with us, both in a group and individual. These picture are just so FAB that of course we had to post all three along with the review, and Richard even gave twin elite follower Roger a run for his money! But we must thank Victoria for inviting all three of us to her super amazing birthday party!!!! We hope she had a great one because we know we did!
