The Price is Right

Well the time has come...Bob Barker from the Price is Right has retired the other night after 35 years. I don't think there is one person in this world who hasn't watched the Price Is Right at some point in their life. In high school I definitely spent a Sunday or 2 watching Bob Barker introduce Plinko, Buy or Sell, Hi Lo, Range Game, and the list goes on!! What I will remember most is that not only was this show timeless in all senses, but that my Papa enjoyed this show, and I was able to sit with him and have the same appreciation and excitement when someone spinned the wheel and landed on $1!! Thanks for the 35 years! So tonight I joined the girls (Amanda and Ashleigh) from The Society at Roots on Bloor to listen to guru Lainey Gossip. It was a very interesting evening, there must have been over 150 guests there (members) and somehow we were all connected...I ran into some people I haven't seen in forever. Good times. Most of you who know me might disagree, but I am not really obsessed with celebrity gossip. I don't need to know the ins and outs of their lives...now before you say "ya right", let me explain. I am a huge fan of the gossip mags, People, Life&Style, Intouch, etc, but what keeps me buying these mags is I love to find out what celebs are wearing. Seriously!! I cant remember that last time I actually read an article, it's purely for the pictures! Hence the reason People Style Watch is my favourite!! Ok enough with that...Lainey is a super funny chick though and I will always go to events where she is speaking. Ps. Paris got out of Jail because of Herpes, and Suri Cruise isn't Tom's baby. Just an fyi to those of you who do enjoy the dish.

Ps. So for some reason I keep buying clothes with stripes...tends to be black and white, but tonight i wore a grey and white striped jersey dress. I just noticed it today when I looked in my closet and noticed stripes screaming back. Hmmph?

I will add pictures of the event later...it's getting too late tonight to download.

You had me laughing as I was reading this post. Without fail, first thing Thursday morning I am at the corner store (the only one that has the magazines out before noon) picking up the latest Life & Style, US Weekly and People Style Watch. These are my absolute favourites and I too try to convince everyone it's not for the gossip... I am actually somewhat ashamed to be supporting the cause... but I just love to see what everyone is wearing! Glad to see there's someone else out there like me!
