Category: Bonjour Duchess Dolls

We talked a few weeks ago about Funny Friday. The dolls have quite a few things that strike their fancy from cats riding motorcycles to our favorite redhead wearing a babushka. The dolls do, indeed, lead the best lives. Here’s what they found funny this week. This dollface from the South had us in stitches.… Continue reading Funny Friday…

The ego of man is a marvel. It’s not a slam to men, truly. I wish I had the ability to walk down the street, gut hanging over my belt and a comb over knowing I look good. There are wonderful men to be sure. Adorable ones we can’t resist. But even the good ones… Continue reading The Ego Of Man…

Every month I chat with my friends at Superstition Springs Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Mesa. You already know former basketball player Alvin Heggs of Hook ‘Em Horns fame is the owner and I brag about him all the time. So this month I make my inquiry to Sales Manager Kevin to see about the… Continue reading The LBD of Trucks…

Did you hear cheers earlier this week? Women of the world erupted in joy with the announcement. Huma finally left, releasing herself from the bondage of a buffoon, tossing off the albatross round her neck. Politics aside, the woman is a badass of the highest order. The last thing she needs is a penis blocking… Continue reading Cheers To Huma…

The Dolls had quite a bit to say about their second acts. Remember, a few weeks ago we asked what women were doing with their lives in this “second act?” It’s the after time—after kids, after first retirement and maybe just an old fashioned change of pace please.

Only the OCD girls will understand and that’s okay. Not everyone can live in the crazy. Some people don’t care that there’s a smell in the fridge. They figure whatever it is; it’ll show itself eventually. The rest of us lose sleep over what might be growing in there. It’s not like I have oodles… Continue reading Stinky Fridge…

Miss Karen, the sweetest doll ever, who does The Duchess’ nails is offering all the dolls $10 off any service. Yep, you heard that right. Tell her you saw it… Continue reading Duchess Dolls In Biz…

Generally a child whisperer, it is rare I’m caught on the wrong side of a toddler. A two-year-old, however, got the best of me on a cross-country flight last week. I’m as surprised as anyone the chubby cheeked towhead did not claim my heart. Surprised because I, unlike most of my girls, am not a… Continue reading The Child Whisperer Is Out…

When the chickens were little I wavered between wanting a nice car and, well, having three children who filled the back end of whatever I used to haul them around with goldfish crackers, cheerios and an occasionally half sucked lollipop stuck to the car mat. I resisted a minivan because, well, I tried even then… Continue reading You Had Me At Built-In Vac…

Women of a certain age are coming into their own. A “second act” movement is under foot. Unlike our mothers, we refuse to shut up and be good. We refuse to adhere to a set of rules defined for us by generations past. We refuse to accept a singular definition of feminism and prefer to… Continue reading That Certain Age…
