    I’m sitting here cursing you.  Why?  Because the besides Obama, bollywood and Yo Gabba Gabba, the Go-Gos are also included in the category Things my 4 Year Old Clamors For.  Now, she’s seen them and recognized them and wants to watch.  Keep in mind we’ve already watched these videos twice this morning.

      I love Bollywood movies and I’m not even 4.

        The Entertainment Czar, age 11, went through a phase when she was much enamored of Bollywood after seeing the touring company of Bombay Dreams come through town a year or two ago. She still likes it, I think, but other things have taken the top spot on her dance card.

        Fabooj, sounds like your tot has pretty good taste there.

          When I was pregnant with her, all I did was watch Bollywood movies, especially after I was put on bedrest for 6 weeks.  I’m clinging to that explanation because when I was pregnant with my son, I watched a lot of Yakuza and Hong Kong action movies and my son just stops dead in his tracks if he sees action movies.  This would also explain his extremly odd distrust of Japanese people up until about a year ago.

    Does anyone else watch Dancing with the Stars?  No? I’m the only dork?

    Who is this guy Mario?  It looks like he was made by Mattel. Be still my heart.

    Marlee Matlin is amazing being profoundly deaf and being able to dance to music she can’t hear.  

    Kristi Yamaguchi or that Mario guy will win.

    That is all.

      It’s my second guilty pleasure, right behind ANTM. I haven’t watched in a while, but I think I’m going to have to schedule some time in.

      At least when I watch those shows, I know it’s not reality…quite unlike a certain lying liar who’s overstayed her welcome.

    Oh. My. Gawd. Like, it’s totally the Go-Gos!

    So OK, like, what brought on this like, 80s moment?

      I need that.  If I had that, I would agree to Mr. Fab taking over a large chunk of our dining room for a bar.  Who cares if we’d have to eat in a 4’x4′ corner?
