Someone offered me a complimentary ticket for this evening's performance. I declined. The Real Housewives of New York is airing and I have two episodes of DYNASTY on my dvr that must be watched.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Heck Adam, Eve, Cain, and effin' Abel. I heard about it, but didn't believe it. Some gal leaves The Carousel and you folks go on for nine pages about it. Damn. You people really are fans. Nothing ceases to amaze me in this world.

Ummmm, just do a Google search and you will see one or two Elle Woods who are not similar in body shape to Reese Witherspoon or Laura Bell Bundy or Kristin Ch
