Okay – Kate Gosselin, Gene Rayburn, and Metallica have nothing in common other than being included in this edition of Pass the Bubbly. That’s what we’re calling these link posts from now on. So if you know of any funny people who need some bubbly links, let me know.
- Wendi Aarons totally agrees with me on the whole Kate Gosselin hair thing. And she’s having six more kids to get hotter. Plus, she has a new website and we love her so please check her out here: http://wendiaarons.com/.
- I just found Citizen of the Month. In this post he ponders the ever evolving etiquette of meeting in public.
- Boob, Injuries, and Dr. Pepper has me terrified of summer vacation already.
- Anyone who admits to a crush on Gene Rayburn deserves our attention.
- YesButNotYes found Legos rocking out to Metallica. Make sure you watch until the end – otherwise you’ll miss the mosh pit.
I hope you enjoy, and if you can find any other connections between Kate, Ray, and the boys of speed metal, please share.
Begging Kate Gosselin to Resist the Reverse Mullet

Let me start out by saying I’ve only caught a few moments of Jon and Kate Plus 8 here and there. Watching two people try to corral a classroom’s worth of children just isn’t my idea of a relaxing way to spend an evening. I don’t watch Biggest Loser or The Amazing Race either. Who needs to witness all that back breaking labor?
All this to say I don’t know anything about these people, the way they raise their children, or the alleged affair that’s steaming up the tabloids I furtively peruse in line at Wal-Mart.
But I do know a bit about hair, short hair in particular. And I can see, Kate, that your current haircut is either a gross error in judgment or a desperate plea for help. In either case, I beleive you deserves our support in moving beyond this catastrophic period in personal hair history.
I say this out of love, I really do. Because I have been there. I understand all too well the frustration of short cuts that don’t fall quite right, the grow out gone wrong, and the yearning for a just a few wisps to hide the damage done by tiny crows who’d track up our still fabulous eyes. I’ve been there. I get it.
The temptation is strong, but whatever you do, you must resist the reverse mullet.
Not since the pre-Miley’s-Dad Billy Ray Cyrus have we seen a public figure with hair so disconnected. Your hair screams indecision, but dear, you just can’t have it both ways. It’s not your fault. Clearly your hairdresser is to blame. Shame, shame on the cruel cutter who does not extol the virtues of blending. Not nice. Not nice at all. Seriously, Kate, call me. I’ll give you a number.
And it’s not just about you either. If you won’t do it for yourself, do it for every other woman who’s looking up to you, who’s sitting out there right now watching some rerun and thinking that’s it! That’s my next haircut! Save her. Don’t let another sister in short hair fall into the trap of soft in the front, spiky in the back.
Just say no to the reverse mullet.
