Warning: The Surgeon General has determined that references to the movie Cocktail can lead to an earworm infestation. Whatever you do, DON’T let the Beach Boys’ “Kokomo” enter your brain and–d’oh, too late!

Full disclosure: I have received no compensation from TGI Friday’s for product placement. Cheap bastards.

30 Days of Creativity 2012: Day 18

Today’s theme from 30 Days of Creativity is “Yellow.” At first, I vaguely mentioned doing something based on the movie I Am Curious (Yellow), even though I was way too young to see that one. I probably still am.

However, Lindsey gave me a [figurative] thunk on the head and said, “HELLO? Beatles fan? Yellow Submarine?”

Of course. And as I mentioned earlier, today is Sir Paul McCartney’s birthday.


The Ram directs a scene from Yellow Submarine. Monster High’s Abbey, Cleo, Frankie, and Operetta can’t really fill out the Fab Four’s suits; but then again, who ever could?

30 Days of Creativity 2012: Day 17

Today’s theme from 30 Days of Creativity is “Pop.” Though using pop as another word for “father” wasn’t included in the description, it is Father’s Day in the U.S.


The Ram directs a scene from Father of the Bride. Monster High’s Draculaura is escorted by Gerald O’Hara (Scarlett’s father!) in his period attire. But at Lindsey’s request, I went with the movie’s 1991 remake instead of the 1950 original just so I could put the bride in sneakers.
