Happy Christmas in July!

Carole Lombard is the official gift-bringer for this bonus Christmas celebration for those who just can't trim trees and hang stockings with care just once a year! (And if you don't mysteriously find presents somewhere in your house, it's because you didn't put up a tree or leave a Yellow Parrot cocktail and cherry tarts for her to enjoy.)

Musical Monday with Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez

Today it's Selena Gomez's birthday. She's now spent some 25 years in the public eye--first as a child actress for PBS and Disney, then as a pop star and owner of her own business. She continues to act on both the small and big screens, having successfully made the transition from child star to adult actress.

Here Gomez is, with other 20-something performers from about ten years ago, performing in the video for her song "Kill 'Em With Kindness".


Kill Em With Kindness (2016)
Starring: Selena Gomez
Director: Emil Nava
Rating: Seven of Ten Stars

Times are changing

For the past few decades, trolls have increasingly been moving from their traditional lairs below bridges and into basements and coffee shops with free WiFi so they can go online. Meanwhile, there are empty spaces left under bridges and ballerinas and other dancers have been leaping at the chance to fill those voids.



But are they going to be successful in the role of bridge trolls?

Time flies...

Exactly ten years ago, we posted some photos of Brittnay Jo Sprinkle. At the time, she was an up-and-coming model. She appears to have chosen a different career path, but we're going to observe the tenth anniversary of that post with a few more pictures of Sprinkle from back then.
