Pilates Part Deux

Posted by on Mar 20, 2006 in dish | 0 comments Pilates class again tonight, step one in the “Build a Better mimi” program. Whole different ballgame than the first class I took, which was all on the mat. This time, we get giant rubber balls, stands, stretchy cords. Fun, but I bet I have trouble climbing stairs on Wednesday. By Thursday, when I go to yoga class, I may no longer hinge properly. C’est la vie. All in the name of...

The Bed List/The Dinner List

Posted by on Mar 17, 2006 in dish | 0 comments BED LIST: DAVID STRATHAIRNThere. I’ve said it. I know he’s older, and I don’t care. He’s interesting. He has a face you can study. He’s smarter than hell (who else could pull off Edward R. Murrow and make it convincing? And get an Oscar nod, hello?). My David Strathairn “thing” probably kicked off more than a decade ago when I was watching The Firm. He...

He’s definitely a new-agey...

Posted by on Mar 10, 2006 in dish | 0 comments BED LIST: RUSSELL CROWEI unabashedly admit that I am wild about Russell Crowe, even if he does fly off the handle and throw diva fits and telephones. Australian. Talented. Sexy as all get out. Plus, who can resist a man who can utter a line like “On my signal, unleash hell” and not sound utterly ridiculous? Or who named his first rock band 30 Odd Foot of Grunts and his second The...

Oscar, How I Love Thee

Posted by on Mar 5, 2006 in dish | 0 comments Confession: I am an Oscar slut. As in, I love watching the Oscars. Love the suspense, love the catty comments over the dresses, love tearing up at the “In Memoriam,” love the whole overblown spectacle.And I really loved Jon Stewart as host. He can crack me up with a lifted brow, so imagine how easy I am at a good joke. Case in point: “Bjork was trying on her Oscar dress, and...

The Bed List/The Dinner List

Posted by on Mar 3, 2006 in dish | 0 comments BED LIST: TERRENCE DASHON HOWARDI have to admit that the first time I saw Terrence Dashon Howard, in The Best Man, I didn’t pay much attention to him. Who could blame me, with Taye Diggs and Morris Chestnut taking up screen time? Since then, though, TDH has grown on me. As in, Hustle and Flow some of that my way, won’t you? Those eyes…yum. That gorgeous skin…wow. Give us...
