summer in december
Many of us have been restless souls since the presidential campaign. We passionately campaigned for Obama or McCain or Clinton but are now left without focus or direction.
I’ve been waiting for another call to action. But nothing has quite stirred me.
Now there’s word that my Manhattan gals Victory, Nico and Wendy are in trouble.
“Lipstick Jungle” is breathlessly close to cancellation. Apparently, only the viewers can save it now.
Well… it’s not exactly like picking the next leader of the free world but heck, tv is cool too.
And I am the girl who helped save Party of Five. My 1994 glory days. Don’t think I can’t re-energize the troops and resurrect my letter writing campaign. I can set up a phone bank for “Lipstick Jungle” in under an hour. Don’t threaten me, peacock network.
Contributing mama Erin Butler has already signed the petition and sent in her lipstick.
I signed the petition but so far I’m not parting with any tubes of Laura Mercier. We’re in a deep recession, ladies. I have my limits. But then again, can you really put a price on these abs?
By the way, am I the only one who has watched AND actually really enjoyed “Flirting With Forty?” You know, that sort of dumb Heather Locklear/ Kirby Lifetime movie.
Don’t judge me. You know there isn’t a lot on TV right now.
Meanwhile, guess who is flirting with two?
Yes, my baby girl Summer.
I love you baby girl.
And please don’t think that just because I rambled on about “Lipstick Jungle” and some guy’s abs and some stupid lifetime movie, that I don’t love you beyond words.
Because I always save the best for last. Happy Birthday my little Summer. XO

I was going to watch “Flirting with Forty”, but I think my husband put a lock on the Lifetime channel to protect my already fragile emotional state. Too bad.

Happy Birthday to Summer!!!
Hope her 2′s aren’t too terrible (for you)!

Happy birthday Summer! I have basic cable, so all I watched this weekend was Tallega Nights and Ron Burgundy on TBS–very funny. No, really, both were good.

Awww, Happy Birthday Summer!!! Sweet pictures.
Also I personally would like to thank you for keeping Party of Five on the air. Now can you bring it back? I haven’t been the same since.

Happy Birthday Summer!
Oh she is so adorable and look at that cake- wow! I imagine you whipped that up in your spare time!?? :-}
And there is no limits to my dedication to Kirbys abs…lipstick, blush, my whole makeup case…I will surrender it all for his body…oh I mean the great storylines :-}

Happy Birthday big girl! Does being named Summer keep you so warm you get to wear tank tops year round? Woke up to negative 12 degrees this morning…Yikes!
[Reply]
Happy Birthday pretty girl!! I love the growling/chomping/whatever picture. She’s a doll.
[Reply]
Happy Birthday Summer! I love the pictures. She is just so precious.
[Reply]
All the love and care you and Rick (and rest of family) give to Summer, shows in her beautiful face and shining eyes. She’s really squeezable…Maybe I’ll get to meet her in person this visit to NYC.

Awww, happy birthday Summer!
[Reply]
Just seeing those names Victory, Nico and whatever they call Brookey, makes me wonder if this started out as a romantic pornamedy.
[Reply]
When Summer is older, she will appreciate all you are doing for Lipstick Jungle. Birthdays come and go, but those abs…need to stay.
But, was it you who brought back 90210? Because, if so, dude, you forgot Dylan. And what is 90210 without Dylan??
[Reply]
Happy Birthday Summer! She is such an adorable sweetheart!!

Help save it!

Happy B-Day Summer!

Isn’t Heather Locklear flirting with 50? Summer is adorable, great photos!
[Reply]
Happy Birthday Summer!! Time flies huh? Love the pics!
[Reply]
Two things about Heather Locklear…couldn’t they have given her better hair for the movie? And fortheloveofgod, she has to stop getting lip injections.
Happy Birthday Summer! She’s so, so cute.
[Reply]
Happy Birthday Summer!
I’ll admit it here, only because you went first. I DVR’d Flirting with Fourty, and I kinda liked it:P There, I said it;)
[Reply]
She’s such a little sweetie…Happy Belated, Summer!
[Reply]
Happy Birthday Summer!! What great pictures! I liked the book Lipstick Jungle but have not gotten to see the show – I guess I missed my chance. Great post!
