Support a Sista and Watch My TV Show Tonight!

Hello, my little Bowie Beauties. Today rulez. And here's why:

I work for a little TV show on USA Network called, "PSYCH." You know, it's the one about the fake psychic detective with the dude from 'The West Wing.' Yeah, that one! Well, tonight we are airing our Fall Finale - and let me just say that it's going to be HUGE. The action, suspense, and laughs are on FULL BLAST tonight. I mean, our lead character gets SHOT. Stakes don't get much bigger than that, dudes.

AND as an added bonus of sorts, I will be tweeting LIVE during the finale - both on the East coast and on the West coast - staring at 7PM EST. I'll be happy to answer any and all of your questions about the show, about working in a TV writer's office, and basically anything y'all wanna chitty-chat about. Should be hella fun.

I know this isn't really a wedding post, BUT I will mention that we've done a wedding-ish episode in the past called, "There's Something About Mira," guest-starring Kerry Washington. The wedding takes place in a vineyard and is riddled with mystery, surprises, and the usual Shawn and Gus gut-busting laughs.

And P.S.:
Dule Hill and James Roday are that nice in person. Another reason to love the show - our actors aren't assh*les!

Naming Our Tables After Bowie Alter Egos

Iiiiiiit's Friday, and it's time to party with with your excellent host Bowie and with him as always is Britt! Party on Bowie. And party on Britt. Boooooowieeeeee! ...A Wayne's World reference, for those of you thinking I'm nuts right about now... That's my new Bowie Time Fridays intro. I, personally, think it kicks ass.

First of all, I want to make it clear that I in no way want this to be a Bowie-themed wedding. Bowie-INSPIRED? YESSSSS. Themed? NOOOO. We just want little touches. Little Bowie gems here and there. Allow me to elaborate:

Mike and I are a couple of comedians. Laughing and making other people laugh is probably one of our favorite things in the world. I do sketch comedy and Mike has this great stand-up routine based on his life as a redheaded white boy teaching in South LA (Watts, Compton, all the cities named in a Dr. Dre tune - yeah that's where he works). Just last night Mike and I discussed how much we want to give our guests a laugh throughout the night. We want to cook up a few chuckle-inducers to present at different points in the evening to make it extra fun. So we decided that TABLE NAMES will be one of these. The funny part about it is that we don't even need table names because it's going to be a sit wherever you want kinda wedding. SO, we thought, what a perfect opportunity for ironic laughter! And in the words of Bowie himself, I think this idea is going to be "the Nazz with God-given ass." I can feeeeeel it.

I was thinking of making artsy-type pictures of the following Bowie alter egos to place on each of the tables - maybe paper mache them on an old tin vase, or as stand-up cut-outs, or whatev! I'd love to hear your suggestions on this... But here are the pics with their table name:


Clockwise from top: The Thin White Duke, Tao Jones, Major Tom, Halloween Jack, Ziggy Stardust, Jareth the Goblin King, Aladdin Sane, & Ashes to Ashes

I think I will arbitrarily make my crazy-fun friends sit at The Goblin King table. I already know that table will be the life of the party. Just look at that scary f*cker. I would not wanna run into Jareth in a dark alley. (Or would I...?) If that picture had a thought bubble it would say, "Come closer, Moon Lover. Check out my funky voodoo crystal space balls and caress my shag-rag mullet maine with your slinky dinky face fingaz." (Someone PLEASE make a website that converts regular English into Bowie-speak. Cuz that would geeeenius).

Do you remember that episode of Conan that Bowie appeared on a while ago? The one where Conan came up with three fictional Bowie alter egos? They were hilarious. Luckily I found the pics:

Hunchback Bowie

And my favorite...


Corn Phase Bowie

I'm still laughing at these. I mean, Corn Phase Bowie? Oh, Conan. I love you. If we end up having more than 8 tables, I'll be forced to use these fictional Conan Bowie's, right? Right? Oh heeeeells yeah. But seriously, all you DIY'ers, I need your suggestions on how to use these pics in a cool way for our centerpieces/table name cards. Any help you can offer would be AWESOME-BALLS.

Cheers, Space Invaders! And Happy Mutha-uckin' FRIDAY!

Bowie Time Fridays

Holy hell it's been a long-ass week. I need me some Bowie to start the weekend off right. I know you all do too. To kick off "Bowie Time Fridays" (B-T-F), I leave you with my absolute favorite Bowie tribute song, sung by the one and only Flight of the Conchords. For those of you who haven't seen this, WATCH NOW. It's way too hilarious to pass up.



"Hey Bowie, do you have one really funky space suit, or do you have several cha-changes?"

Duuuuude, I so want the McJaggernauts to play our wedding. Actually, I'd be just as happy if only the key-tar player could show up. How rad is that? Who plays the effing key-tar? If you do, I want to meet you. Possibly take you out to dinner. Pick your brain a little bit. Cool? Yeaaah.
