If you want to capture someone’s attention……whisper?
(Frankly, I think bullhorns work pretty well…..)

So, we have the ‘Horse Whisperer‘– an acclaimed book by Nicolas Evans and a follow up film release in 1998 both directed and starred in by Robert Redford.

Next–we have the dog whisperer…..Cesar Millan. Mr. Millan is a Mexican born American who taught himself the art of communicating effectively with dogs—inspiring a wide fan base of clients as well as viewers of his reality series: ‘The Dog Whisperer.’

……And now,
well.
Okay, I don’t text and drive. Sometimes I zone out at the red light and think—”gee, I wonder if I would really have to work out for two hours if I drank a Medium Wendy’s Frosty” (which, of course, I did—-drink it, not exercise…..sigh).
and Voila.

I had to search the contents of my LV Noe for my camera to freeze this moment of advertising—- (and girlfriends, you know how much junk you can pack in that drawstring tote…..)

I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Somehow I don’t see Bob Redford directing any of the bathroom scenes for Sundance.
My guess is that Cesar is pretty busy, too.

Wow–84 years of Hostess Brands.

(Good news for my Pancreas and Hips)

I guess the reality of the company’s Labor (and Bakery Delivery) woes didn’t register with me until I hit the Hostess Thrift Bakery.

The shelves were Bare. They were selling off pallets of ‘donettes’—those small chocolate coated or powdered rings that take four years to digest (just eat the cellophane package, too…..it really doesn’t matter).

Not a Twinkie, Cupcake (unless we count the ‘orange’ variety…..and I’m not) or loaf of white ENRICHED bread in sight. Oh yeah, there were some Zinger’s (Dolly Madison Bakery acquired by the former Baking Giant but marketed under their original name)—but, that’s not the same.

Not that that stopped me from buying them………….(what’s next? Little Debbie?)

The strike against Hostess Brands led by its labor union in November crippled the Brand leading to its demise.

Down the Drain–Of course, on November 29 a federal bankruptcy judge finalized the liquidation of Hostess with a provision for a 1.75 MILLION bonus to be dispersed to basically 19 company Executives with the provision of managing the Company’s wind down.

Hopefully those well compensated ‘Ding Dongs’ are more skilled at that task than they have demonstrated with their combined business and labor acumen.

Of note: Greg Rayburn-CEO–did rule out a bonus for himself. I’m not too worried.

1.75 Million represents a LOT of cream filling. Ho Ho indeed.

Okay, so I prefer to shell out for Chanel rather than my secret addiction to Ho Hos.

Without revealing my prehistoric past, I will admit that I purchased Twinkies (while in my mother’s womb, of course) in the late ’60’s for 12 Cents a pack.

Brad and Angelina ENGAGED!

Well, they (”brangelina”…don’t you just love that trend, merging names…yawn…started with Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s Union back when that never manifested) are finally making it “legal”….as if everyone wondered. I mean, one would think that all those kids alone would drive home that commitment point, but it’s probably nice for their families….

Speculation be damned, it’s OFFICIAL. Brad (who has tried his hand at designing just about everything by now) designed the ring with the year long collaboration of Beverly Hills jeweler Robert Procop–who we’ve never heard of, but we’re thankful it isn’t Loree Rodkin……Anyway, Somehow, I don’t think Harry Winston needs to close up shop just yet.

Apparently the couple had insisted that they wouldn’t marry unless ALL couples could marry harkening to the gay rights issues that they support publicly.

Jolie, 36 & Brad, 48 met while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in 2005. They have six children—three adopted and three biologically conceived together. Frankly, it would be a bit of an imaginative stretch to see them juggling this act if they did separate ways.

Stay tuned for more of what will surely become a media circus.

Needless to say, they have that ring bearer/flower girl thing in the bag.
