| December 15, 2007 - What Would Jesus Do? |
| Dear Friends, unless you live on another planet, you're well aware that public displays of religiosity are all the rage; particularly if you want to be elected President of the United States. And you can't turn around without being faced with the question "What Would Jesus Do?" or "WWJD?", as it's sometimes abbreviated. Well, JOHNNYLEEN has his own personal mantra that has succeeded in keeping his life fantabulous even in the face of adversity. It's "WWJCD?"....."What Would Joan Crawford Do?" I can assure you that if you apply that question in your daily life, you'll see things in an entirely different perspective! Yea, verily. Speaking of parties, which we weren't, I went to a fantabulous Indian engagement party over Thanksgiving weekend. What a great time! They had so much food that I thought the appetizers were the main course and therefore filled up on them to the point that I couldn't eat again later. Liquor flowed like the Ganges when rippled by the many arms of Siva. There was dancing and performances; even a live band flown in directly from Bombay for the occasion! I can't wait to go to the wedding. I've been told to expect an invitation. It will be in London in May so I'll get to do my trip then that I had hoped to do over Thanksgiving. Yea, verily. I think I mentioned in an earlier entry that I had been going to a boot camp. That ended at the end of October and I've been seeing the personal trainer privately twice a week since then. The routine is absolutely exhausting! First I walk a half mile to the gym, then I do the treadmill for about 30 minutes, then he puts me through my paces for an hour, then I take the train home, and then I walk almost a mile to my apartment! I'm so tired at that point that I end up sleeping 10 hours during the night; something Joan Crawford probably never did, but I need to, so there. We meet every Tuesday and Thursday, and then over the weekend I do my own little routine in the gym in my apartment building. It's so difficult being me! And I really need to get back into doing my Pilates and yoga; there's just so much to do. Unfortunately, while I do ask myself what Joan Crawford would do, I don't have an army of maids and butlers to manage everything for me as she did, so I have to manage as best I can while keeping my closets free of wire hangers. Yea, verily. So don't you think Britney Spears looks much better with a little weight on her? Everyone was, "Oh, Britney, like, you know, like, you know, you're so like fat, you know" after the MTV awards show, but I frankly thought she looked better than she ever has. I mean, she looked like a real woman rather than an anorexic scarecrow. And what about that Amy Winehouse, or "Whinehouse" as I call her? Actually, I like her music, but that's one troubled serving wench if there ever was one. Have you seen her video "Tears Dry on Their Own"? In it her hair looks like a giant octopus on top of her head! I'm surprised she's able to survive a night without it strangling her in her sleep! But, as I told my mother the other day, I don't suppose she's that much different from Judy Garland; she just doesn't have a big studio to tidy her up constantly. And what about Liza Minelli collapsing in Sweden and then rushing back to New York as though they don't have doctors in Sweden? Yea, verily. Well, I must rush off now and throw Old Dutch cleanser around my bathroom while screaming at the top of my lungs, a la Joan. Next entry Previous entry Go to diary entries Go back home |
