Mom is going to see Fifty Shades the Musical

Posted on by

It happened on Mother’s Day.

“I’m going to see Fifty Shades!” Mom announced with great excitement while she, my father and I had lunch at Pellegrino’s.

“What…I mean…movie isn’t made…bad…blergh…” I stammered in response.

Dad might have thrown down his napkin in disgust at this point. He doesn’t know exactly what Fifty Shades entails; only that he’s disgusted.

Almost simultaneously, Dad and I both blurted “let’s talk about something else.”

I gave my attention to the antipasto.

When I got home, I googled. I realized that my mom and her friends are going to see “Fifty Shades the Musical” at the Scranton Cultural Center. Honestly, I forgot it existed.

Starting tomorrow night, I’ll be avoiding Mom’s calls for three days. At least.

I don’t want to talk about Fifty, Mom!

My mother told me it’s OK to refresh your lipstick in public.

But no more than that. Everything else – mascara, concealer, eyeliner – should be saved for the restroom.

I winced each time the subway jostled this lady while she had pointy things by her eyes.

Things I don’t understand: Alexa Chung

Posted on by

I don’t have much, if any, tolerance for these famous-for-being-famous types. Kardashians, Jersey Shore folks, no. I don’t watch their shows and never have.

So who is this Alexa Chung person certain media outlets keep forcing my way?

Quotes like these from a recent New York Magazine feature leave me with one word echoing in my head: insufferable

“I play guitar a bit. I’m trying to learn drums—I feel like I can play violin. I’ve never tried, but I just feel like I can”

Further:

She has no stylist and makes it a point to wear outfits more than once. “That’s what you do in real life,” she says with a shrug.

I guess I’m stuck with her for a while: Alexa has a book coming out in September. I’ll pass.
