This is an introduction to my weekly contribution to this fine site. Basically, this will be a kickback column where things aren’t necessarily to be taken overly seriously. In other words, no down and dirty discussions about Bush’s policy in Iraq or whether or not we should abolish the death penalty will be here.
Now, what should you find if you happen to venture to the Boutique? Let’s just say it’ll be a real hodgepodge of different things. Sometimes, there will be something called Our Bizarro World, which will feature various off-the-wall items found on the Internet, in newspapers, in magazines (you get the idea) and include my unique take on these. As they say, truth can be stranger than fiction, so you may get a chuckle or two out of these, I hope.
Also, to indulge my creative writing muse, there will be an ongoing "mockudrama" loosely based on people I have come in contact with, maybe with some you are familiar with as well. Also, a mock tabloid featuring some familiar faces may be in the works.
Since I do enjoy certain reality shows just because they amuse me (really, you can’t take these seriously, so they fit in with the Boutique very well), there will be a feature called Reality Roundup, which will feature my take on the "reality" shows I watch and some predictions for those shows where people get the boot (let’s see if I get any right LOL). And don’t worry, dating shows ala "The Bachelor" will not be discussed. Really, I don’t care about people who have to go on TV to find a spouse (though "Blind Date" and "EXtreme Dating" might be fun to discuss because of all the train wrecks occurring on those shows). Also, there will be no discussion of "The Real World," Nick and Jessica’s show, or any other MTV reality crap. Those are way too pathetic to be even be joked about. And forget about Anna Nicole!! (Yikes!!!!!!) And last, but not least, do not expect to see anything on that behemoth known as "American Idol." Let’s face it, it’s bland people doing bland songs. The only really interesting thing about that show is any outtake of people who can’t sing to save their lives, yet who think they’re the shit.
Finally, I will occasionally do a column to discuss a favorite album, song, genre, TV show, movie, DVD, game, place to travel, restaurant, item of fashion. This won’t necessarily be like a typical review, but more of a forum for me to discuss why I love a particular item, how I happened upon it, and how it has affected me. I may even occasionally discuss something I don’t care for, but I would rather dwell on the positive.
So, grab a glass of your favorite beverage, kick back, and enjoy the boutique. You may or may not agree with my opinions or writing, but I promise to at least make it as entertaining as possible. Remember, many things will be tongue-in-cheek and fun in nature. Enjoy! : )
