Valentine's Day issue of Skirt! 2009  Photo by Eleise Theuer

Skirt! Magazine

Apropos to the fervid and flirty month of Fevrier, the above snap is an excerpt from a St. Valentine's Day issue of Skirt! magazine, featuring yours truly and Monsieur Yours Truly during our sojourn in the Old Dominion. A women's lifestyle publication available nationwide with regional, mostly Southern, emphases, this particular issue of Skirt! highlighted "strong women" -aw, shucks- and I was chosen from amongst a bevy of Virginia lassies, to share a Valentine's musing or two.

In addition to a smashing plug for my Savannah of Williamsburg Series and a lovely, morning photo session in chilly, jazzy, uptown Ghent, there were also brief bios on both mein Mann und mich, as well as a quote from each, on each. The V-Day edition was dubbed He Said, She Said and to date it is my very favourite of all the publicity pieces I've ever garnered. Thank you, by the by, to the remarkably charming and generous then-Skirt! market editor Kim Wadsworth. Ms. Wadsworth is also the founder and current editor-in-chief of Vow Bride magazine: a Virginia-based bridal and dream wedding publication, very apropos to le mois d'amour! Merci, Madame Kim! (Note to brides: short of our dual wedding ceremonies in both Kandersteg, Switzerland and Laguna Beach, California, you've rarely seen so lovely a wedding as Virginia nuptials. Old Dominion + Old Money + Old Blood = sumptuous Jefferson/horse country fetes!)

He Said: Besides being an intelligent and hilarious beauty, Jennifer makes me believe there’s nothing we can’t do together. Whether bushwhacking the Alaskan outback to shoot a travelogue or relocating to India, she’s gung-ho for the adventure and I love her for that. *Awww! Blush!!*

She Said: OMG! Could I laugh any harder? It’s like living with Will Ferrell! It’s a wicked, smart, lightning-strike-funny like Ricky Gervais or Eddie Izzard. My side constantly hurts! Plus, he’s gorgeous, like a hero from Nordic mythology.


 

Happy Valentine's Day! Narf!

Honey, they're fine. They're not drug addicts, they're not axe murderers, they're not Democrats.  -The Other Sister

 






We're too good for them. They ain't tough enough, smart enough or fast enough.  -Public Enemies

 


This is all we need ... some coffee, good conversation, just you and me and five bucks.  -Reality Bites

 

If our next gig is in a 7-11 parking lot, we'll find a way to make it fun!  -Conan O'Brien

 

What are we going to do tonight, Brain? The same thing we do every night, Pinky ... try and take over the world!

 

 

In the end, this is why it works so well


Pinky and the Brain lyrics, in case you don't know them by heart. Of course, who doesn't?
They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
One is a genius
The other's insane.
They're laboratory mice
Their genes have been spliced
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain.

Before each night is done
Their plan will be unfurled
By the dawning of the sun
They'll take over the world.

They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
Their twilight campaign
Is easy to explain.

To prove their mousey worth

They'll overthrow the Earth
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain

Narf!
