Dynomite!
I made an important decision just now – one that will impact all of 2008, and potentially beyond. Last year, I chose Ann Margret as my personal sponsor and guide for 2007 because of her sexy grooviness and devil-may-care attitude. I love Ann for everything she did for me, but 2008 is a new year and that calls for a new sponsor.
Tonight, as I was sitting on my couch eating dried apricots, I had somewhat of an epiphany. This will be the year of Ja’net. Yes, I’ve selected Ja’net Dubois, or more specifically, her character Willona from Good Times, to guide me through 2008.
I seriously want her exact outfit here, including the hat:
Top 5 Reasons You Should Love Willona:
a. She’s funny *and* foxy.
b. She’s sassy. She doesn’t take lip from anybody, especially not Bookman, the superintendent.
c. She’s got a big heart, like when she takes in Penny (Hey! Isn’t that Janet Jackson?) from her abusive home.
d. No one looks finer in a jumpsuit.
e. She co-wrote and sang the theme song to The Jeffersons. Well, Ja’net did, not Willona.
And that is why Willona Woods is my 2008 sponsor. I see good times in my future. Good times, indeed.

If the networks started showing 70s sitcoms again, I would totally watch every night. Same with the 80s, right up until that eye-herpe Alf tackled the airwaves with his puppet-tronic sass.

Are you going to be wearing a jump suit to TequilaCon?
Because THAT would be dyno-MITE.

This is WONDERFUL!! Damn, I need a sponsor and guide. Off to watch TVLand.
So far, all that comes to mind is “Granny” from The Beverly Hillbillies. I LOOOOOVE that woman!

Dude, I know how to make that hat, you need a crochet hook, some yarn and some cut up plastic.
I’m serious, dude. I am all over the 70’s crafts.

Awesome! I need to find my sponsor and guide…all I can think of right now is Kelly Taylor from 90210 and I’m not so sure I want her guiding me…though she does date cute guys, so that’d be an improvement.

sir: there’s a station here called MeTV (i think?) that shows all the old sitcoms from the 70’s and 80’s. it’s my fave.
miss britt: if i can find one that makes me look that foxy, absolutely!
nanna: granny clampett was a total spitfire! excellent sponsor!
tracy lynn: don’t tease me… can you crochet me that pantsuit as well?
pants: give it some time – you don’t want to rush into your sponsor selection.

*sigh* Those hats only look good on curls. So. Not. Fair.

Do you channel her through a ouija board or how does she guide you?

shari: you think so? you looked awfully cute in the fedora… maybe you could pull this off as well!
churlita: she’s still alive, so i don’t think we can reach her through the ouija yet. whenever i face difficult life decisions, i just ask myself WWWD: what would willona do?
