Valentine's Day Mini-Mix: Goes Out to Whitney Houston

This post is dedicated to Whitney Houston:

What says more about Valentine’s Day than this song?

Lady Gaga: Paparazzi

I become a bigger Lady Gaga fan more and more every day. This song “Paparazzi” earns a spot for the attractive and also attractively dark lyrics such as “I’m your biggest fan/ I’ll follow you until you love me.” So fun. So Good.


Although, I confess I am not as crazy about the super length full version of the music video…only because there are so many moments without music, and that makes me think about Michael Jackson. “Black and White anyone?”

On that note…

There is one song from Jackson that has to weasel its way into the Valentine’s mix, and that is none other than this one below.

Michael Jackson: They Don’t Care About Us

Not crazy about the video, but the title sounds so true on Valentine’s Day. “They Don’t Care About Us.” Emo-tastic much?

To Conclude:
Because one must conclude with at least one number that is not something downputting, there is no other song to represent Valentine’s Day than “Sentimental Generation” by Tokito Ami.


This is a song not about Romance, and it is not about being dramatic. Instead, it focuses on the unity of a generation and the unity of the youth spirit. It is lively, upbeat, and positive. It is also less cheesy than spreading the message of “We are one.” However, it is a reminder that you are not alone.

QATFYG:
Do you miss Whitney?
Such a powerful voice. Such a great talent.

    of course I'll miss Whitney! I mean I wasn't really a huge fan, but let's face it: if you were alive in the early 90s, you kind of had to be a fan by default. really talented woman.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
