Looks like somebody stole her probation report file.

I also heard she has been suspected of shoplifting in the past.  Sounds like our Lizzie.  I wonder if they sent the bills to her father.

Keep Winona free at least until we can go shopping together.  I need a pair of them $80 socks.

Makes you kind of wonder if Winona didn't lift it herself maybe?  $80 dollar socks?  I didn't even know there was such a thing?  Those free Winona shirts are big again, heres a link to purchase one if you think she is innocent or shouldn't do time in jail.  Oh, and check out the picture, Winona wearing a 'free Winona' shirt!

The Court TV site has a little fun spot called "Shopping with Winona". You click the icon for an article of apparrel and you get to see what Winona was "buying".

How come the lady on the shirt looks like Jackie Kennedy?

And that reminds me...where in the world is Kimberly?

Hey Kimberly!
Can you sign in with an update as to your safety after parts of Tennessee were ravaged by those storms?
Let us know how you are...?  And what's going on?

Maybe you have no power?

God/dess, I hope thats all it is!  Kimberly, come back!

Hey y'all! I just looked in here!

I remember those storms too! I caught the flu that
night, it was a Sunday, I think.......


I'm sorry I never said I was still alive, for the past
couple of months I have been totally scatterbrained &
I haven't been doing much serious stuff online, just
cruising mostly.

Hi Kimberly, welcome back.

Thought you had gone up to the guest chamber to put on some new shams. We were just about to send Addie and Bridget up to fetch you.

Good to see you!
We're lucky you wandered in...better late (NOVEMBER??!!) than you know what..

Welcome Back, Ya-Ya sister!



We were waiting up for you! 

Which one is me?!

Is that our "Dear Bridget" in the middle?
Wasn't she in the Ya-Ya movie?

Whichever one you want to be!  Yes, thats our 'Bridget' or Fionula.  Heres a much more flattering picture of her.  I guess if you want to pick Sandra Bullock out of this grouping, to be you, you can.    I'd probably be closer to Bridget when I hit that age.

I always thought Fionula was just so beautiful, and when I
think of Bridget that is what she looks like. I'd rather
look like her than Sandra Bullock, has Sandra been tested
as Bridget yet?

She might be our Emma, I think she could pull her off!  Darken her hair, pull it back in those wings and voila, Emmer. 

Oh God/Dess!
I cannot picture subduing that natural vitality, and comedic sense that Sandra Bullock has, stuffing it into our shadowy Emmer.
A better Bridget, I believe.
But I happen to be agreeing with Kimberly today...

There aren't very many actresses to choose from,
Emma seems impossible to cast, she has to be someone
over 40, but nobody looks their age anymore. Maybe
Susan Sarandon as Emma? She can be mousy & plain
looking sometimes........

Oooo, I think I have someone for our Emma!  Mary Steenbergen! 

That is an excellent choice! She gets my vote, she looks
very old-fashioned & Emma-ish in that far right pic, doesn't
she? I never would have thought of her myself.

Yes, Mary S. is right for Emma!

BUT, do we have to also hire Ted Danson?

If so, he can be Dr. Bowen.

Oh, hadn't thought about him....hmmm.  If we have to have him, maybe he could play one of the officers?

So, so far, Kate Winslet as Lizzie
Mary Steenbergen as Emma
And possibly Sandra Bullock as Bridget.  Who else do we want? 

Mary Steenbergen=Emma. Excellant! (Please not Ted Danson Kat!) How about Charles Dance? Bryan Brown?

I agree no Ted Danson, he is to hammy, did he ever do anything
besides Cheers? Is Jack Lemmon still alive? I think he would
be (or would have been) a good choice for Andrew.

Alas, Jack Lemmon is no longer with us.  But does that mean he couldn't play Andrew?  After all, Andrew is dead too!  (I don't see Jack Lemmon as Andrew anyway.  If death is no barrier to casting, how 'bout George C. Scott?)

Ooo, I think George C. Scott would have made a fine Andrew!  Too bad he is gone.  I think I have our Abby, Kathy Bates!!! 



What do you think? 

Susan, you are very good at this! Too bad we don't have
a prize to give you for it!

  Well, that sounds like one vote for Kathy.  Anyone else?  Boy, the more I see pictures of these actors the more I want to see our dream Lizzie movie made, it would be fantastic!  *sigh*

My dream team would be:
Lizzie-Lucille Ball
Andrew-Buddy Ebsen
Abby-Totie Feilds
Emma-Lily Tomlin
Bridget-Donna Douglas ("Gollllly!")
Knowlton-Jackie Gleason
Jennings-Foster Brookes
Nance-Charo

Thanks, Kash!  I had to go change my skirt, I slopped coffee on it I was laughing so hard, Charo sent me over the edge!   
If you can get the Del Rubio tiplets to do the music for your film, its in the can!  BTW, read your I Love Lizzie series, do you ever write plays and have them acted out on stage?  Theres a whole underground art scene that would benefit from your work, its so creative! 

Hey lets put on a show! I'd love to do one where she goes to the drug store looking for prussic-who could play Bence? Billy DeWolfe? (the actor who would always have his back to the customer when he played a store clerk, then turn around real fast going, "YYEEEEEESSS??" With the big space between his teeth, remember him on the old tv shows?

fORGOT to ask-who be de del Rubio Triplets?

I remember who they be, the Del Rubio triplets are three sisters
"of a certain age" who wear skimpy outfits & sing, kind of like Madonna,
except there are three.

Unfortunately, there is only one left.   Heres a pic of them, Kash.



from this site:

There is also this site where you can download a MP3 of their cover of Devo's song, Whip It.

http://www.delrubio.com/

You'll be a fan yet! 

Susan, is that you?!

They appeared once or twice on "Married With Children".  They did a song and dance act if I remember right.

Did they do *Polka* on Johnny Carson?

No, Kimberly, our Susan's picture is in her profile, is delightful, and I think she looks like Anne Frank--a nourished, Italian & well-rested Anne Frank...


      Anne Frank

Speaking of "Married With Children".
The next-door neighbor girl was played by Amanda Bearse.
She is local and went to high school with Stefani.
Back then they were involved in State Thespian Competition, and Stef won "Best Actress In The State (of Florida)", and a trophy, winning over Ms. Bearce.
Who then went on to N.Y. and friends with Sandra Bernhardt...the rest is history, which you may or may not know...

Whoo!  And to think I got miffed when somebody said I looked like Katherine Helmond!  I should have said, "Thanks."

Girl, you need a beating!  Is that me?   Kats right, I probably resemble Anne Frank more than this woman who used up her all her blush in one fell stroke! 

Apparently the Del Rubio Triplets have been around since the 1950s, they are just too fun.

I had no idea the Stef was such an accomplished actress, Kat?!  Cool! 

Yes, that's 2 degree's of separation between Stef and Madonna.
YIKES!

Oh man! I think I started something! Susan, you know
perfectly well everybody knows you are adorable, I was
just trying to be a brat, I'm good at it too!

I think she looks like Michelle Pfeiffer or Calista Flockhart,
is that all right with you Susan?

Who?  Me?  Or Anne Frank?  I know you were just teasing, but, my goodness, I didn't want rumors running rampant that that was me in those photos!  I never use that much blush! 

I mean you of course! And how about Anthony Hopkins
as Andrew? I think his mouth/jaw is Andrew-ish,
I thought Jack Lemmon had a Andrew-looking mouth/jaw
also. I think George C. Scott was to powerfull looking to be
the pussy-whipped Andy.........**Should I edit that?**

How about Meryl Streep as our Miss Alice Russell?

My screen doesn't recognize "geocities" pictures.
I tried duplicating your pic, but no dice...
...get annoying small box with red x in it.

Here's Kate Winslet as Lizzie and Streep as Alice. 

Hysterical Harry, I love it! (thanks for the del Rubio info)

APPLAUSE...APPLAUSE!!!!
Author!!!

BTW:  Great Stuff.
Can You Put Your Name On There?

D'you suppose Alice ever looked that happy in her life?  (Although, now that I think about it, she did look fairly content in that picture that was taken in the senior-citizens' home.)

  Harry, those are wonderful!  We've got to start picking some male stars for the guys in our film, any ideas? 

Featuring George C. Scott as Andrew J. Borden.  Coming soon to a theater near you!

Of course he will be in a non speaking part.

Oh well! He does look like him! I wonder how dead he
is? Think maybe they have his noggin froze somewhere?
That is what we need!

Oh my goodness!  Thanks, Harry!  George would have been great for the part look-wise.  Wonder if he could have gotten down that yankee accent?  I know this is a stretch, but, what about Mel Brooks for Uncle John Morse? 


Oh, there was a newspaper drawing of John Morse from during the trial, don't know where to find it, but, picture Mel with that beard.
