i must admit, i'm not such a tv watcher. but over the years, i have had a few spurts of tv - ing - fun! they heyday for my tv watching was really when i was in my preteens. there were a variety of great 1960's and 70's reruns on in that era, that were right up my alley!
and so...
my first tv crush was was born...

tv crush #1: the professor from *gilligan's island.* (played by Russell Johnson)
i loved the professor's good-guy charm, thoughtful approach to problem-solving, and understated wit .... i thought he was so cute! ahh...

....................


fast forward to the mid-80's ... tv crush #2.... *sigh* ... remington steele (pierce brosnan) ... to be honest.. i don't think i ever really saw this show about a former conman turned detectivey guy, as a youngin'.
( surely i wouldn't have been allowed! it still seems so wonderfully racy!)

but i do recall a glorious full-sized poster of remington steele that my very cool babysitter had up in her bedroom... and i was hooked! everytime i would be @ her place, i would just stare and stare... is it wrong to have a crush on a poster? i could just tell from that photo..
he was so dashing, so debonair, so clever and with such spy - ly intelligence! that's tv crush #2. ( dre 
cross my heart & jingle all agreed!)

well... we've all come a long way from professors stranded on islands and dashing private investigators... so we're down to tv crush #3.... late @ night if i'm cutting fabrics or ironing orders, i love tuning in to see the very wonderful george stroumboulopoulos - woowee- i've certainly got a crush here! sadly, if you're not in canada... you might not know enough about the wonderful george! he's a phenomenal host. he's gregarious, witty and has such fun intelligence to him... and he happens to interview some of my favourite advocates, humanitarians, politicians and writers.  but shh... just don't tell mr.rikrak : cause hey - this crush in on a REAL actual person! .... *sigh*: tv crush #3

holey moley.

beach party dates are cute. :)

i asked.

you answered.

who would you bring?

there's a wee bit of a chill in the air today ,but i think our cute dates will keep us warm!

here are a few photos from our beach party!

.................

alright.

if i must, 

i'm willing to share george clooney with you nicies. 

seems like his beach party dance-card might be filled with: me , monique & kathy & kristi, and a few other fans! 

*sigh*

can i have him first for building-our-sand-castle-dream-house on the shore?

.................

 here's a fun pic of two of your dates together at the beach:

pamwares brought ed norton 

& miss freckles looks darling beside ralph fiennes.

.................

 alex keller swooned over tom cruise ("circa top gun!") flying in for the day... 

.................

and though she was allowed to bring THREE dates, marci girl said all she needed was the one and only hugh jackman! {wouldn't he be such a fun bonfire-hour singer! *sigh*!} 

.................

kristi & lori will have to duke it out for bradley cooper's lovely smile!

 .................

and PHEW!... once javier bardem showed up at the beach,

i didn't need to share george clooney with vadjutka! :)

 .................

seems like lauren + alex will be playin' in the waves with  

josh holloway.

  .................

 seems as though lori & luv2have are both smitten (bitten?!) with robert pattison and johnny depp...

great beach party minds do think alike!

   .................

looks like fellow canadian ryan reynolds will be there playing beachball with itchin' stitchin' & others!

   .................

and oh-so-wisely, miss freckles brought along daniel craig, too, "just in case there's any trouble!" - love it!

..........

so there you have it... some of our fun beach party dates.

don't forget to check out what everyone wore, too!

have a great summery day, nicies!

....................................

good golly!
isn't escaping to another world in a book just the loveliest thing?!
of course i was fascinated to hear which book characters all of you lovelies out there longed to be in our younger years!

what a fabulous cast of characters we have at our slumber parties! we'd make for a most entertaining bunch of young ladies, wouldn't you agree? { and based on some of our faves, get in a heap of mischief, too! }

....................................

the most popular response was certainly lovelies longing to be laura from the little house on the prairie books. seems like those pioneer adventures (and pigtail braids!) had janet, rox, ilena & candied fabrics enamoured!


....................................

another fave was the jane austen protagonist elizabeth bennet. and that dreamy mr.darcy would be yours: vadjutka, artmind & freckles!

....................................

a favourite i had forgotten about was pepper sprout designs & denny's fave: that precocious pippi longstocking. (more great pigtails, too!)

....................................




harriet the spy was karamae's fave. i always love a good sleuth, too, karamae!

....................................

and just to make sure our slumber party mysteries had enough sleuths, jessica & little gray pixel longed to be nancy drew. *sigh* me too, nicies. me too!
...................................

leslie dreamed of being one of those wonderful adventurers from swiss family robinson
(oh to live in a tree house!)

...................................

and wendi wished to be abandoned on an island ... alone! like the character in Island of the Blue Dolphin. how adventurous!

...................................

archaeology-loving plushroom soup adored her dad's vintage hardcover happy Hollister books, complete with wormholes! love it!ster

...................................

and marian dreamt of being in a kaye gibbons book.
...................................

elan vital anthology wished to be one of those fabulous bohemian elves from the elf quest series

...................................

and another long time fave was the spirited anne shirley from anne of green gables. oh ness & elliven - isn't she fabulous? and then you could have gilbert blythe all to your selves!

*swoon*

...................................

see you tomorrow, cuties (for the start of 7 days/7eco giveaways!)

thanks to all the rest of you who left fabulous answers, too!
and to all the anne shirley's, laura ingalls wilder's, nancy drew's and elizabeth bennett's out there - thanks for making reading such a fabulous adventure!
