Barbie, Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras, Turning 50 and Jon Bon Jovi
My gal Barbie and I are both turning 50 this year and so isn’t it perfect that stopping in at the Blue Nile the other night we stumbled across Cree’s beautiful designs and there waiting for me in all her glory was my Mardi Gras costume – Barbie in a red queen gown with a ruby tiara and a scepter on a hat. Now how perfect is that I might ask you? T bought it for me as my Mardi Gras costume and now she will have to be Ken – and it looks like she wants the Jon Bon Jovi gay looking Ken to emulate.
Speaking of which, my birthday itself falls on Jazz Fest and guess who is playing on my birthday – you got it – Jon Bon Jovi himself – the prince of hot! But more interestingly to this woman is the fact that another woman is playing Jazz Fest this year who I will be standing in the front row for and that is Emmylou Harris herself – the one, the only.
So get out the hats and balloons – it’s the 40th anniversary of Jazz Fest, the 50th birthday of Rachel and Barbie, and the days of wine and roses are just getting started.
