St Patrick's Day!!

Lisa Niemi - That Had To Be Hard!

While I think it is fabulous that Patrick Swayze's character, Johnnie Castle from Dirty Dancing, has been honoured with a model at Madame Tussauds - I do think this photo of his wife, Lisa, posing with it is more than a little disturbing.  More for her than us actually.  That has to be a weird arse feeling posing with the life-like replica of her dead husband!
What do you think - I know that I definitely would be lining up to pose with Johnnie but then I wasn't married to the man for 34 years.

 

P.S.  It's a great likeness but does anyone else see the resemblance to Jerry O'Connell?

Cool Rider.

Did You Know?

DIRTY DANCING - In the scene where Johnny and Baby are practicing dancing, and she keeps laughing when he runs his arm down hers, it was not part of the scene, she was actually laughing and his frustration was genuine. They left it because it was effective. Her falling over in this scene was unplanned too.

oh Dean Youngblood.......

Rob, Keanu, Patrick.......

saturday is fantasy day - the letter P

Nice Guys

K and I had a discussion about bad boys today - you can imagine how that conversation went... lots of 'ooow I love bad boys' blah blah blah.
From there we moved on to discussing how in reality there are very few genuinely 'good guys'.  By this we mean men who we are pretty positive don't do the dirty on their wives or girlfriends - ever.  We could think of a lot who probably are 'good guys' but we could only come up with 4 living and one dead, truly good guys, who we had no doubts about what so ever. 
Here they are...

Hugh Jackman

(married to Deborah Lee Furness whom he openly adores.  She is older than he is but it makes no difference to Hugh)

Matt Damon

(Married to Lucia, with his 4th child on the way - this couple is rock solid and cute as pie)

Zac Efron

(What other 21 year old is still dating the same girl he was at 16?  Not many in Hollywood, with the opportunities this boy has had.)

Guy Pearce

(Another lovely man who is still adoring his high school sweetheart - His marriage to Kate is one to envy)

Patrick Swayze

(Patrick and his best friend Lisa met when she was 15 and were married for 34 years - now that is inspirational)

So thank you to these stellar men who honour their wives and girlfriends and give us all hope that their breed will grow!

The sad side of this story is that we could only come up with this many - if you have anyone else you feel should go on this list please let us know.

                                                       

i'm too sad......

PATRICK SWAYZE RIP

Lip-Synching in the 80's

This is one of my all time favourite scenes in a movie and it fits perfectly with k's Top 10 this week. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey singing to Mickey and Sylvia in Dirty Dancing.

Watching this makes me sad too as the wonderful and talented Mr Swayze is not doing too well and I'm afraid we won't have him for much longer.
