Middle aged Latina to Latino boy, eating: Happy birthday! Look at you, surrounded by all these women on your birthday. You are going to be so nice when you grow up. You have five sisters. All the men in your family are grown up, and you got stuck with all the girls. So you're going to be so nice to girls when you get older. Right?

Wendy Williams new talk show premieres Monday [Jul 13 2009 / 7:13am]

Radio host Williams begins national TV talk show this week

She's baaack.

Wendy Williams is back on daytime television for good — or as long as the ratings gods will allow, anyway. Her hourlong talk show, "The Wendy Williams Show," debuts Monday on Fox stations across the country, airing live in this area at 10 a.m. on Fox Channel 5.

For this girl who grew up in Ocean Township and has been a fixture on the radio scene for more than 20 years, the national television spotlight is a long time coming.

"It feels good to be here. My life will never be the same. But I'm ready for this," she said with quiet sincerity. "It really is amazing, and this is a dream come true. I'm not going to blow it. I'm ready."

Then, with the arch, wink-wink side of her persona that is never far away, she drawls, "I've even been working out to maintain the ow factor."

For those unfamiliar with Wendy-speak, that's ow, spoken with a drag queenesque purr. It's the same drawl used for Williams' trademark greeting (and signifier of questionable sexuality): "How you doin'?"

Get used to hearing it a lot along with other Williams signatures, such as the sly "Alriiight?" — preferably said with a certain arch to the eyebrow.

The talk show, which had a six-week test run last summer on Fox in four major markets (New York, Detroit, Dallas, Los Angeles), isn't Williams' first foray into television. She had a brief run with a self-produced show that aired on VH1 in 2006.

But this show, which she is co-producing with industry heavyweight Debmar-Mercury, is clearly the big time — and Williams knows it.

I'm Susan, 17, and from Texas.
After a long, dust filled day I managed to whip my room up.
I'm a disgusting excuse for a human being. :D


Obi Wan welcomes you ^_~ )

Question: If I were to repaint my room a light purple, would I need to use primer? Or could I just slap it on the green?

new room, no closet. [Jul 12 2009 / 7:59pm]

[elishaelegance]
i'm moving into the upstairs media room in my house, which is prettyyyyy big. the only problem is that i won't have a closet. :/
of course i can just get a three drawer chest and buy a bin to throw my shoes in. but i was wondering if anyone had any creative ideas on what i could do.
i was thinking about having a bar placed on my wall because i prefer to hang up my shirts, but i'm not sure if i'd like that because it'd seem out of place.

thanks! :)
