Now why didn't you think of that?
Most who know me know I love love LOVE the internet, not for all the communities and porn and embarrassing antics of our esteemed President, though those things are nice, too.
Instead, I love the internet for its ability to serve up answers to almost any question... "Who sang that 'domo arigato' song?" "Is Karaoke Fever out on DVD yet?" "What is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?"
So, imagine my surprise when I tried to find the ever-so-clever lyrics to The Brini Maxwell Show theme song... and found them nowhere! No I am not lucky enough to have digital cable and therefore the Style Network, on which Brini's show airs, but a friend at work has been offering up his VHS copies of the show he taped from his very own state-of-the-art system. Thanks Malcolm!
If you've never seen Brini (rhymes with "weenie"), she's a NYC drag queen-cum-1960s girl-about-town who started her own fabulous "better living through Bridge Loaf" show on cable access back in 1998. Her talents didn't stay hidden for long, and she's now landed a place for her show on Style, and has gained many fans while still maintaining her cult status as the Doyenne of Domestic Science... of the Eisenhower thru Nixon eras.
So, here's my contribution to the wealth of Truly Important Stuff on the Internet, and a tip of my Tom Collins to my new favorite Homemaking Heroine, Miss Brini Maxwell!
---
Put down the iron
and pick up a drink.
Leave your pans at the neighbor's;
the kids in the sink...
It's Briiiiini!
The Brini Maxwell Show.
Make sure you
don't squeeze a lemon,
and don't bake a bean
'til the name Brini Maxwell
appears on your screen!
It's Briiiiini!
And look at Brini go!
You'll see her painting or knitting,
then off to a fitting
or the swellest of cabarets.
And at her chic soirees,
lift your pinkie and martini.
Brava Diva Brini!
World-weary husbands
and half-hearted wives
bless the day Brini Maxwell
came into their lives!
She's Brini!
Briiiiiiiiiiiiini!
The Brini Maxwell...
...Show!

Now why didn't you think of that? *bing!*

Gap Check Trifecta
Today, quite inadvertantly (which is the only legitimate method, by the way), I achieved the much sought-after Gap Check Trifecta, meaning I am wearing articles of clothing from each member of the Holy Trinity of Cheap Clothing, BnR, Das Gap, and Olde Navie. Peep dis, friends, Romans and countrymen:
· Half-zip grey/orange sweater by 'nana 'public.
· "Army" type grey (formerly black) jeans by Guh-hap
· XS Heather Grey Pocket Tee and Men's low tube sox by Notorious O.N.
My life is so awesome. It's my wardrobe that needs help.
