Hello from the outside.
This music video was shot in more of a sepia filter but because I liked the pop of red we added the original shots too.

THIS IS CHRISTMAS!
***
“Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming!
IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
~ Dr. Seuss (How the Grinch Stole Christmas!)

Of course, we had to recreate the infamous Mean Girls Winter Talent Show scene where The Plastic performed a dance number to Jingle Bell Rock. Regina played by Bridget Bones and Cady played by Sofia Barkgara. What’s more Christmas than Christmas pageants?

New Boot Goofin'
Reno 911 a comedy television series filmed like a mockumentary about a sheriff’s department in Reno, Nevada. The show first aired in 2003.
This particular scene with Lieutenant Jim Dangle and the excitement of him paying off and getting his new boots is well known and most memorable to me. We say New Boot Goofin’ in our house quite often. It was the silliest scene in a show filled to the brim with silliness. A
fter we did our cowboy photo shoot last Summer I knew I wanted to recreate this scene someday soon.
The One Who Served Friends-Giving
TV ReLand series
F*R*i*e*n*d*s
Friends was a 90's Comedy TV show, based in Manhattan, about 6 friends who go through just about every life experience imaginable together. It first aired on NBC on September 22, 1994. With 10 seasons and 236 episodes, Friends was the IT Show of the nineties to the early 2000s. Ending in 2004. Friends season finale ranked 5th as the most watched with 52.5 million American viewers.
This particular iconic scene we are mimicking is from episode 8 of season 5 titled The One with All the Thanksgivings. Which is a series of flashbacks.
We flashback to 1988; Ross and Chandler (this time dressed like members of Miami Vice) arrive for dinner to find Monica has slimmed down, and Chandler now finds her attractive. Monica tells Rachel that she wants to humiliate Chandler for calling her fat, so Rachel suggests tricking him into taking off his clothes. Based on Rachel's suggestion that she act like everything around her turns her on, Monica tries to seduce Chandler by rubbing various objects, including a knife, against herself. She accidentally drops the knife and severs his toe, due to the fact Chandler's shoes are very weak. He is rushed to the hospital to have it reattached but, in the commotion, Monica unknowingly mixes up the digit with a small piece of carrot.
In the present, Chandler becomes upset after learning that he had lost his toe because he called Monica fat, and angrily leaves. When Monica comes by his apartment seeking his forgiveness by putting a turkey on her head, puts a fez hat and large glasses on it, and dances for him, making him inadvertently tell her he loves her for the first time in their relationship.

Cooking With Joy
Okay, so this shoot was planned slightly differently. But after thee cutest BarkBox toys arrived last night, we had to go in another direction and use them as props. We’re all professionals here so a slight change of plans the night before a shoot is a piece of cake, er a pie. I immediately started going through our costume inventory and remembered we had these two. Perfect! I mean who doesn’t think of their grandparents during the holidays? I do! I especially think of my grandmother and her delicious baked goods. Anyway, the shoot wasn’t expected to be this wholesome. But here we are. You’re welcome.
We wish you a wonderful and wholesome Thanksgiving this year!

Déjà vu?
Yes, you have seen these t-shirts before.
Clearly, BB’s clothes are a bit big on Sofia. For the turkey hats, I ordered a small one based on their size chart last Spring. (I plan ahead). When it arrived, it was comically too small for BB. So I reached out and they sent me the M/L size and told me to keep the small or donate it. Well, the M/L was too big for BB. I reached out again, and thanked them for their wonderful customer service and that we were the Goldie Locks of the Gobble Heads. But would figure out a way to make it work. Little did I know we would be getting this little butter ball a few months later.
Moanin' Lisa Blues
TV ReLand series
The Simpsons
The Simpsons, an American animated television show first aired on December 17, 1989. It is the longest-running American primetime sitcom with 756 episodes and 35 seasons and counting thus far.
Moanin’ Lisa Blues was a song Lisa sang in episode 6, season 1, titled Moaning Lisa which aired February 11, 1990. For some reason, that episode and song have stayed with me all these years (er um, 33 years). Maybe being the middle child it just resonated with me then. The Simpsons was a family show we never missed catching. It’s truly remarkable that it is still running and going strong.
Anyway here are the lyrics to Moanin’ Lisa Blues, a YouTube video of the song, and for more info on this specific episode, click here, or for more info on The Simpsons television series in general, click here.
I've got a bratty brother. Who bugs me every day.
And this morning, my own mother, Gave my last cupcake away.
My dad, he acts like he belongs, Like he belongs in the zoo.
I'm the saddest kid Saddest kid in grade number two.
I wish I had a pony, I wish I were 18,
I wish I had a dime For every kid who treats me mean.
They tease me cuz I'm different, Little different from the rest. Oh, yes.
Well, I'm down so low, If I cheered up, I'd still be depressed.
The saxophone's my best friend, I play all over town.
But when I practice in my room, I hear...
Homer: “LISA, KEEP IT DOWN!!!”
Although I'm only eight years old, I've really paid my dues. It's true.
That's why I got a case of, A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues!
I wonder how I got here, I wonder what I'll be.
The saddest little twig On this crazy family tree.
I feel like I'm a loser With nothing left to lose.
That's why I've got a case of,
A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues!
Oh, there's just no postponin'
A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues!
