Sip. Sup. Shop. Style.

Bless her heart - she's no Champagne Lady!
OH MY JUDICE...
Incidentally - this program is why I learned to play the organ (a Thomas organ - just like Bob Ralston on the Welk Show) - which brought me to my tenure as mall organist at White Folks Mall in Springfield, IL.

Lol, I saw this on the tube the other night. How did I miss her tiny little, baby doll hands? Mesmerized by the forehead, I guess.
This sketch, as well as a recent Hall and Oates parody on SNL, makes me wonder the demographics of SNL. Would anyone under 40 get how odd and dorky The Lawrence Welk Show seemed to kids who saw their parents watch it in, what, the late 60s-early 70s? Would 20somethings even know who Hall and Oates were/are?
Since I was wee I've been obsessed and immersed in the consumer world - from retail (at Marshall Field's, Williams-Sonoma and Barneys New York) to communications (at public relations agencies, big and small, as well as thrice as an independent consultant and in-house for the world's largest natural and organic grocery retailer).
I'm also wicked obsessed with and immersed in pop culture. I eat. I shop. I drink... I watch too much TV, drink Diet Coke, think $300 jeans are absurd - but will pay $5 for my coffee drink experience [go figure], can't schmooze but can chat up a storm and occasionally make you laugh.
For some reason people seek my style (fashion and home) advice. For some reason I LOVE giving it [apple...tree...thanks Mom].
I'm growing slightly weary of the desert, but am happy to have left the deep South and ready to share my warped ramblings about the world. As it says - we're going to sip, sup, shop, and take a look at style together. Along the way - I'll take a look at the communications world as well since it's a big part of my life.
