In other TV news, has anyone else been plagued by those Idaho Potatoes commercials? I seldom watch daytime TV but I was sick so today was an exception. Anyway, there are these crazy commercials stressing the health benefits of Idaho potatoes ("not just any potatoes!") with this really raspy-voiced lady who pronounces Idaho like "eye-ho" and it drove me nuts (it could also be my cold). She also claims that "exercise and a diet with potatoes" help you to stay trim, which is true in some contexts but it nonetheless made me laugh because I can totally see somebody going to a grocery store, looking at potatoes, and remembering, "oh yeah, potatoes help you lose weight!" #tyrafaketoenails
I worked at a tanning salon in high school (ooooh the stories) and knew a couple girls that came in who had acrylics on their toenails, but never as long and gaudy as that. I'm not sure the reasoning behind it, as I was always too weirded out to ask. #tyrafaketoenails
Whoa. That Sandals commercial's version of "I've Had The Time Of My Life" sounds like the Kidz Bop version. Except, sung by adults who should know better. #tyrafaketoenails
@GirlFailer: This was during the campaign, and she was in Iowa trying to get some votes (From the HBO documentary "By the People"). I think she is interrupting him/poking fun when he won't commit. #tyrafaketoenails
This is pretty embarrassing, but I have had an acrylic tip on my toe. My cleats were too tight when I played lacrosse, and after a long game, I lost my big toe-nail. I was super self conscious about it, so I went to the nail salon and those nice ladies fixed me up with a new talon. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thanks Ty-Ty. #tyrafaketoenails
RE: Hailey Glassman's clip: I've never heard someone refer to another individual as "this woman" without saying something offensive afterward. It's like starting an online comment with "Um." It always presages some kind of contemptuous remark. The "No offense, Kate," was gravy. #chazbonoentertainmenttonight
That grandma is STYLIN'. I bet loves it when her granddaughter takes her for a ladies day of TJ Maxx and $20 mani/pedis! Love. #chazbonoentertainmenttonight
C'mon, Babs, everyone knows a vampire isn't going to turn you if they don't like you. They kill the ones they don't like. They turn the ones they do. #chazbonoentertainmenttonight
@Spike49: She never actually says she's a vampire, at least not in the above clip. She says she's "Fangtasia" (?) and hangs out in the bar on True Blood. Furthermore, she did an interview with someone who didn't like her, and then that person bit her, and now she's goth. I know, it makes no sense. (I'm still trying to figure out who Whoopi's dressed as. My best guess is Founding Father Vampire.)
One of my best friends is 90. I met her in an art class, and last year she invited six members of the class to spend a week with her in Mexico. We all had our plane tickets bought within 24 hours, 8 months ahead of time, and when the day came, nobody's plans had had to change. The seven of us had the most amazing time. She's so full of joy and love and fun, and makes a terrific instigator for amazing adventures. I'll have to ask her if she's game for an all-male revue for the big 100. #chazbonoentertainmenttonight
@nwhepcat: That is ridiculously awesome. I love hearing stories about intergenerational friendships without the whiff of obligation. #chazbonoentertainmenttonight
Awwwww my great-grandma lived to be 100 but she definitely wasn't that cool. Her last 8 years or so she would only eat fiddle-faddle, diet pepsi, two parts of neopolatin ice cream (god forbid we buy her plain strawberry or plain chocolate) and correctol. She also wouldn't let my 12 year old self run around in the sprinklers even when it was 100 degrees, because she thought I'd get a head cold. I still miss her to pieces though.
@KittyKittyCat: Yes it is awesome that Juanita's granddaughter loves having her around, especially since Juanita had to live through the deaths of ALL of her children, which must be one of life's worst experiences. They seem to be having loads of fun together.

What I have gathered from this: being goth is like having rabies. #chazbonoentertainmenttonight
