Birthday: Mary Tyler Moore

by Chexy on December 29, 2011

Happy 75th Birthday to Mary Tyler Moore, seen here at a Broadway opening in September.

Mary has been a champion of diabetes, and has worked closely with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. As many of you know, my imaginary daughter Amy has juvenile diabetes.

Won’t you make a donation in Mary’s honor? Thanks!

Busy Betty Boosts Bible

by Chexy on November 16, 2011

Busy Betty! With not a moment’s rest since her return from Australia, Betty Deuce has been popping up all over the place. I can’t imagine when she finds time to do her laundry.

This is Betty leaving Westminster Abbey this morning after a service marking the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. I believe those queens behind her are dishing her hat, a modified sombrero with some unfortunate ribbons.

Betty is making her cranky face. She’s not in the mood. Or maybe Phil (behind her) is being annoying for a change.

She’s wearing her favorite pin, the Jardine Star.
