We are Anglophiles here and tend to agree with most things that cross the pond. So when the Telegraph came out with their list of the Ten Worst Fashion Faux Pas, I was intrigued. The stuff that I try to turn a blind eye to gets on their nerves too. 10 worst fashion faux pas [...]
Things I miss about the 20th Century… album covers. I’m talking the nice big twelve inch or so square pieces of art that were the graphic embodiment of the music contained inside. Granted most album covers were utilitarian and just helped to identify the enclosed record from the hundreds of other records on the shelf. [...]
Before teenagers looked to TV, Facebook, and Twitter they had to rely on educational film strips to tell them what to do and how to behave. This one from 1947 entitled “Are You Popular” tackled the thorny question of teenage popularity. Some of the pearls of wisdom in this ten minute short: “No, girls who [...]
A drunk French teenager narrowly escaped death last week after falling asleep on a railway track and slumbering undisturbed as a high-speed train speed over him. The 19-year old, whose name was not released, remained fast asleep face down on a stretch of track near Saint Nolff in southern Brittany, as the Quimper to Paris [...]

On location in New York City this week filming “Remember Me”, Twilight star Robert Pattinson was hit by a taxi as he tried to run away from a crowd of hysterical teenage fans. Flanked by five security guards, the British actor tried to run past the teen mob to reach the safety of his trailer [...]
The City Council of Leister (that’s in the U.K. for the geographically challenged), in an effort to curb teen pregnancy has produced and posted a viral video. The spot ends with,“Not what you expected?… Being a teenage parent might not be either.” I think this would have a bit more credibility if it didn’t take [...]
Texting is something that I have come to rather late in life. I like the convenience, speed, and brevity of it.
