I'm friends with her father, and last year I went to see her as Roxie in _Chicago_. She was fabulous! And then I got to go backstage and hang out with her and get a picture and autograph. She's such a sweet lady.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797119770533435005.post-24519270847057684522008-08-22T14:49:00.000-04:002008-08-22T14:49:00.000-04:00Thank you for not posting a picture of Bebe Rebozo...Thank you for not posting a picture of Bebe Rebozo!Norrin2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08556797281238202366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797119770533435005.post-9905113931429530262008-08-22T12:05:00.000-04:002008-08-22T12:05:00.000-04:00VIER/DESERET was a tough cross, but my zen sense f...VIER/DESERET was a tough cross, but my zen sense felt like it was an R, as I'm sure I've seen VIER before. Top half of the puzzle was a breeze. Slowest area for me was in California. Even with THE PRU and SEARCH ME in place, it just wasn't GRIPPY enough.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to all my wonderful guest hosts; see you all on Monday.Pete Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00915253628212019131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797119770533435005.post-44907272620055841572008-08-22T10:26:00.000-04:002008-08-22T10:26:00.000-04:00those three, along with baden baden, have formed t...those three, along with <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baden-Baden" REL="nofollow">baden baden</A>, have formed the theme of at least two crosswords in the cruciverb database. those are the only common ones (i'm assuming you don't count shenanigans like "new york, new york" or "singapore, singapore"), but <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Australian_repeated_town_names" REL="nofollow">check out australia</A>.<BR/><BR/>i liked this puzzle a lot, and i would have done it much quicker if i had ever heard of YVETTEMIMIEUX. also, if i hadn't absolutely blanked on NICOLE kidman's first name. she's actually the closest thing i have to a favorite actress, and yet i simply could not remember her name (!) until i had four crossings. i kept thinking, "you know, that blonde australian actress... she was married to tom cruise..." argh.Joonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825085755390339668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797119770533435005.post-5397040278036666012008-08-22T09:34:00.000-04:002008-08-22T09:34:00.000-04:00"And Deseret's 102 electoral votes go to the Senat..."And Deseret's 102 electoral votes go to the Senator from Deseret ...
