| Thanks to all of the
San Francisco Splendoritas who came to check out the Scene at
Saks last night. Drinks were had, cupcakes were consumed, and
major shopping damage was done. See the

BRITNEY THE NEXT WHITNEY?
 Britney Spears and Whitney
Houston: they have much more in common than cutsey first names that
end in -ney. These pop-music superstars (or, rather, falling stars)
have both experienced the grandeur that comes with having
multi-platinum albums, millions of adoring fans, a killer bod, and
so much more. Whitney's heyday is obviously dunzo, and it appears
that Britney is on the fast track to leading an equally depraved
life. Check out this list of uncanny similarities between the
infamous divas:
Clothing Choice: Ripped sweat suits
and tacky evening wear are de rigueur for these
style-challenged women.
Skin: The term "facial" doesn't
seem to be a part of either's vocabulary. Sallow complexions, bag
bedraggled eyes, and pockmarks plague them both.
Hair:
Two words - bird's nest. Condition the weave please!
Husbands: Both Bobby and K-Fed are renowned deadbeats,
recognized for cashing in on their wives' astronomic success, their
morally questionable behavior, and releasing horrendous,
self-indulgent music (except for Bobby's, "Roni"– that's a cold
classic).
Weight: Brit and Whit have seen both sides of
the scale; while Britney's weight tends to fluctuate like a rolling
tide, Whitney's simply continues to plummet.
Comeback
Albums: Career resurrections are in the works for both artists,
a last ditch attempt for them to repair their shattered public
images and (fingers crossed) bring about a new era of success.
There is, however, one distinct difference between Britney
and Whitney: while Brit is a confessed God-fearing young lady,
Whitney is an aging star whose alleged drug use has caused her to
see 'the
Devil.' Oh mah gawd!

SADNESS
 Seconds after someone reminded the
Splendora team to "Spring Forward" this Sunday, a collective groan
was heard echoing throughout the office. For us Splendorians, the
thought of losing a precious hour of sleep is a painful reality.
Everyone has horror stories of past "Spring Forward" experiences,
usually related to waking up late on Monday morning, only to miss an
important exam or anger a curmudgeonly boss and be docked pay ("I
ain't payin' ya to sleep, missy!"). Think of the ghastly effects
that pushing that hour hand ahead will bring: you lose 60 minutes of
cocktail time come midnight, you have to wake up mad early to get
into your leotard for that Sunday morning workout class, and you'll
be thrown into a general fit of confusion (does my cell phone have
the correct time?). Hey, we're just not disciplined enough to catch
up on our zzzz's by tucking ourselves in a bit sooner on Sunday
night. With the return of The Sopranos, we would much rather
stay up to marvel at the acting prowess of Edie Falco rather than
rest our tired eyes.

MOMMY
 When the news surfaced that
Jessica Simpson is indeed exploring adoption
options, Splendora's imagination started working overtime,
trying to imagine what life with mommy Jessica would be like.
Judging by her nitwit Newlyweds persona, we suspect that it
would include lots of confusion and whining over feeding ("Is this
chicken dinner, or carrot puree? They're both so orange-y"), Simpson
family vacations with Grandpa Joe managing the lil' kin's career,
and trips to Louis V. for monogrammed baby togs. Will CaCee now be
nanny to both her BFF and the babes?
I want a baby y'all!
