Shopping with a Seven Year Old
 My daughter. Beautiful, but about as calm as a your average robo-hampster.
Nice coat, you say? Yeah, grandparents are good for that sort of thing. Bona-fide “Hannah Montana” merchandise, the coat signifies Sam’s enthusiastic endorsement of a fictional persona adopted by a real manufactured celebrity who is herself the offspring of a manufactured country “star”. |

Miley and her alter-ego, the only slightly less real Hannah. |
The 90% synthetic pop-country singer Billy-Ray Cirus. |

Friday Night at the Pops Country
Was that Billy Ray Hillbilly that had that Chris Gaines alter-ego?
And what the balls is up with pop tarts stars having alter-egos in the first place?? You’re not Batman, for fuck’s sake! You are a pop star, singing rubbish ‘music’ at people who honestly should know better. When you start taking on supervillains, then you can get yourself a alter-ego.
she’s gorgeous, sugar! merry christmas/happy new year to you and yours! xoxo
Chris Gaines… no that would be a much more famous country star Garth Brooks who broke an old ladies heart in the Midwest town of Sioux City, Iowa. We will call her Christina; Christina donated all over her Garth Brooks memorabilia to the local good will. Years of posters, coffee mugs and even a signed picture all were gone from the elderly ladies house. She said it best in her own words….”He left country, I didn’t leave him”
Onto brighter things, Joe it looks like your doing a great job raising your daughter or at least your wife is… hehe, and grandparents are doing what they do best. Piss their kids off!
Have a Happy Holiday season Joe
Merry Xmas Safe-T-inspector
DC: As Troy said, Garth started as a popular country singer and then had an urge to do some pop-rock. Instead of just doing it as Garth he developed an elaborate, ridiculous persona which seemed a bit Prince-ish. The resulting music was negligible and boring at best and hacky crap at worst. It didn’t go well for the persona, as I believe it opened a line of failed theme restaurants co-owned by Bruno nee-Bruce Willis and Sasha Fierce.
Billy Ray Cirus was a one-hit-wonder with his “Achey Breaky Heart” song in the early nineties. Don’t know what he’s up to now, but I think he might’ve been on a reality show not too long ago.
His daughter, Miley, started her career as an actress playing the part of Hannah Montana and, as her young fans grew up enough to know the difference between a character and an actress, she started doing things without the blonde wig. She now tours WITH HERSELF.
Savannah:Thanks! I hope your holidays are going well, too!
Troy: You sound suspiciously knowledgable in all things Garth. Hmm…. As for the grandparents: it sucks in many ways that my girls have no first cousins. In other ways its handy, as we have no shortage of volunteer childcare workers.
Loved that quip about Montana. How sad but true SafeT. Hope you’re not freezing yer arse off too much up there in sunny Michigan.
AH, well, somedays its cold, somedays its not so cold. You’ll need to consult the internets to learn how it is on this fine blustery day.
