I love the look of Christmas season. The more bright, colorful lights strewn about the better, in my opinion. Mistletoe and holly and candy canes, oh my! Keep it coming. So I thoroughly enjoy when Christmas movies go all in with their yuletide vibes. In the best Christmas movies, the seasonal trappings are a key … Continue reading Christmas on Film

Random Image Dump #3
Sometimes I think we collectively dreamed up the Captain and Tennille, but nope, they were a real thing. His porn ‘stache, her legs for miles and miles (and miles and miles…), and most of all, the musical hits! All real!

The part about “reasons unknown,” I mean. The part about greatest band ever might actually be true. You wouldn’t get an argument from me … Continue reading Zep
