MAINE: The way life should be...

...or at least that's what the highway welcome sign told me.

The way life should be, hmmm. Gas at $4.00 a gallon? Terrible national credit? Mortgage crises? Aahh, the life! Well it's the life when you don't have to worry about all of that and you can retreat to a four-acre multi-million dollar compound in beautiful Kennebunkport, ME!
















While on vacation with a friend and her family in Ogunquit they just raved about the beautiful Bush vacation spot (shown above) and said we just had to visit. As we drove through the windy stonewalled beach front properties owned by such billionaires as the creator of E-Harmony, out in the distance appeared Bush Land. On its own peninsula it was secluded, lavish and exceedingly gorgeous. Once you get past the security hut, the secret service and several people zipping around on Segways you come upon three, maybe four smaller mini-mansions before the big presidential castle. Obvi us peasants were not allowed to even approach the first security checkpoint but especially not on this day when they were preparing for the man himself.

There were large white event tents being set up along the water (as seen in the sweet paparazzi-esque photo I took) because the Pres is on his way tomorrow (Thursday)! "Junior's coming!", shouted the older absurdly loaded neighbors. Who knows what kind of wonderful adventures B.W. has planned for his vaca? I do know that the gas to get him all the way up here will be insane, the houses being built around will have cost unfathomable prices, and he will be just kickin' back doing nothing important just where America expects him.

Oh, she's just being Miley

After that less than mature youtube video rumble between Miley and those other Disney girls it seems like Billy's baby didn't mean to break any hearts. Although it sounds like a clever cop-out instead of a genuine apology, at least its an attempt for peace...right?

Why can't we all just get along, make a Disney Channel movie together, date different boy band members and bask in our super popular mega-star glory?

Jon and Kate Plus 8...plus me!

Jon x Kate = Maddie + Cara + Alexis + Hannah +
Aaden + Collin + Leah + Joel...+ Me!



No, I'm not the ninth adorable baby Asian addition to this (mostly) happy household but I am in fact invited into their too crowded house on a daily basis to join in the chaos and so are you!

Jon and Kate started filling their rooms with camera crews shortly after the sextuplets were born. Now almost three years later, TLC still make up the 9th, 10th...16th members of the Gosselin home. Natural stars from the overpopulated womb, these babies knew how to fill the lens with puppy dog eyes and and tiny cherubic smiles. It all began with a couple of documentaries on raising multiples and the insanity that ensues until America (and I mean like the whole country) fell head over tiny baby croc heels in love with this adorable litter.

They are now a weekly sensation every Monday night on TLC and rerun at a minimum of 4-6 times per day. No it's not just soccer moms who sit home and take notes from Kate's never ending list of advice (both for raising 8 kids and for cleaning). Dads like to watch it because they root for Jon in every seemingly frivolous battle royal about marker usage and proper dusting techniques, kids enjoy watching other wee ones playing the same games-- even the famous 8 like watching themselves according to mom and dad.

Everyone has their favorite baby-- the majority seem to vote for the sweet specked Aaden while others love the itty bitty bubbly Leah. Whether you like the show for its teaching purposes or if you just love "aldergators" and marital spats Jon and Kate Plus 8 is for anyone with a heart or a soft spot for precious little Asian punims. We've watched them grow, heard them yelp, celebrated birthdays and "special days", learned how to use the potty and pulled at Jon and Kate's last straw and heart strings all from the comfort of our homes...where we will also be able to enjoy from afar the later years of Jon and Kate Plus 8 Teens!

Why I love POP

Oft refferred to as the new Mileys, Selena Gomez (the new Disney Channel starlet) and Demi Lovato (whoever she is) started up a youtube channel of their own--only to rival the infamous Miley and Mandy show. Apparently this happened a little while back but sadly my youtube stalking has lacked as of late so hear it is now...


VS.



Personally, I adore this little tiff between disgustingly rich pop teen princesses. Sure, this kind of petty drama took place in high school but was it anywhere near as interesting? NO. Here's why:

  1. It wasn't aired on youtube

  2. The boyfriend being stolen was not a Jonas Brother

  3. It didn't involve Miley freakin' Cyrus (not her actual middle name)

Watch the vids if you can stomach them (I'd turn the volume down due to the pitch of a 15 yr. old girl's voice) and pick your side. I know mine.

ps. Your make-up is waaayy too dark Miss Lovato
