Favorite Film Dresses of My Impressionable Youth
Sleeping Beauty
Mary Poppins
I revered Julie Andrews (still do, actually). I'm hard-pressed to pick a favorite film of hers, but the costumes in Mary Poppins definitely win out. And the red and white dress above is the most beautiful of all! (According to my inner five-year-old, that is.)
My Fair Lady
My Fair Lady is filled with beautiful costumes, but this black and white ensemble is arguably the most fantastic. My younger self did not catch the satire in its over-the-topness; I thought it was just right. And I still think those black and white stripes are a touch of genius.
Pretty Woman
Whew, that was quite a shift in subject matter, wasn't it? I had to put this one right after Pollyanna, because they actually remind me of each other: two poor girls get, ahem, "adopted" by rich folk, taken on the best shopping montages ever, and then live happily ever after. I wasn't allowed to see this movie until my later teens. Yeah, yeah, prostitution is adult subject matter. Again, I'm just here for the clothes! I loved her dress at the races best of all. Matching hat alert!
A great fashion movie! I'm sad to say that this film inspired more fashion disasters for me than fashion successes. (Anyone else try to emulate the thigh-high and mini trend? That ensemble screams "working girl" way more than anything Julia Roberts wore in the aforementioned movie!) But it was a fashion moment. So much so that Calvin Klein recently brought back the white mini dress that was the centerpiece of an entire scene ("Cher, what are you wearing?" "A dress!" "Says who?" "Calvin Klein!"). It can be yours for $915.
I suppose that's enough from me (though the fact that I keep thinking of other examples hints at a second post on this topic in the future). How about you? I'd love to hear your favorite film dresses from your childhood! Don't be shy.

I loved the dress of the good witch in "Wizard of Oz", all pink and sparkly and huge. One of my Barbies had a similar dress. And growing up in Germany I loved all the pretty costumes in the Czech fairy tale movies that were on Tv in the former GDR. I always wished to be a princess when I saw them.ReplyDelete
Clueless was the first movie I got to see without my parents and I definitely did the knee high tights/mini skirt combo in 6th grade - to my D.A.R.E. graduation nonetheless!! Probably about the only time I was "in" on a major fashion trend :)ReplyDelete
Oh man. I totally forgot about that shopping spree scene in Pollyanna! Amazing. I watched Beetlejuice a lot growing up and was definitely inspired by Lydia Deets--lots of black and lace :)ReplyDelete

Gosh! I can remember being obsessed with all the dresses in Dirty Dancing... oh and Scarlet O'Hara's dresses in Gone With the Wind!ReplyDelete
This might be more indicative of my age than I'd care for it to be, but growing up my favorite dresses were those in Sleepy Hollow (the one with Ricci and Depp...hey, I was 10, it counts). Something about corsets have always intrigued me and made me long for that silhouette.ReplyDelete
My Fair Lady was a favorite of mine too--I'd still love to have half the dresses Audrey wore in the movie. ;) lol. I think my main fashion influences growing up were mainly old movies--the same thing that inspires me now! Oh, and the "Anne of Green Gables" mini series and "Road to Avonlea" spin off that was on tv in the late 80s/early 90s. Those made me fall head over heels in love with the Edwardian era--the romantic looks continue to inspire me (and creating the perfect Gibson Girl pompadour continues to elude my hairdressing skills!).ReplyDelete

You pegged two of my favorites - Mary Poppins (though my fave was the red coat she wore on her day off), and the polka dot dress in Pretty Woman. I actually found a silk in the same colors and made myself a skirt/shell that looks just like it. I still wear that outfit. Without a hat.ReplyDelete
Unbelievable, you have once again managed to write about something that feels like it was picked right out of my own head. I would have picked the same dresses if I had written this post. My number one dress is the horse racing costume from My Fair Lady. I would just die to get the chance to costume that show.ReplyDelete
Anne of Green Gables was a big one for me too - part of me still loves puffed sleeves and wants to marry Gilbert Blythe.ReplyDelete
The costumes for My Fair Lady are stunning; Cecil Beaton won an Oscar for them! But they didn't grab me for me, if you know what I mean. I drool over them, but don't want to wear them.
My childhood was somewhat lacking in the tv department, but my dressing up box was awesome - lots of fifties crinolines and all my mother's old 70s romantical nightgowns with heaps of lace and trim and billowy sleeves. That has definitely coloured my adult taste, a lot.
- GayleneAugust 11, 2010 at 8:14 AM
Definitely Mary Poppins and the Pretty Woman polo dress, but my absolute fave is the black and white dress worn by Grace Kelly in Rear Window, not to mention the froth of nightgown in her Mark Cross attache case.ReplyDelete

I love watching movies & TV shows for the clothing (and the sets :)) I love the clothes Samantha wears in Bewitched, and the gorgeous ensembles worn by Lucy (even her house dresses are pretty!)ReplyDelete
other than pretty woman (i never saw it) those were movies i loved for the costumes as a child too. sleeping beauty was the first movie i ever remember watching, and while i had the same color dilema as you did, i always liked it better in blue. :)ReplyDelete
not only was that horse race scene in my fair lady visually stunning, it was quite humorous as well.
and i will never ever forget going to see clueless in the theater, and going shopping to contempo casuals immediately afterwards. too funny!
As a child, hands down Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I was convinced if I had that yellow dress I would be a real princess.ReplyDelete
As an adult. Seven Year Itch. Everything Marylin Monroe puts on in that movie is delicious. Also, Audrey Hepburn. Mostly in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' but really anything I've ever seen her wear. Ever.

I desperately wanted Christina Applegate's wardrobe in "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" circa 1990!ReplyDelete
I thought for sure the dress Anna wore while dancing with the King of Siam, from the original Anna and the King, would have made your list. :) I can not even begin to calculate the amount of fabric that woman was spinning around with! ---- And I too LOVE Anne of Green Gables. Did you all know there is a book, Before Green Gables? All about Anne's life before she came to PEI. :)ReplyDelete
Three words: West Side Story. I don't know if this counts as "child" since I fell in love with this movie at 15, and I'm only 19 now, but I want all of Anita/Maria's dresses especially the lavender one Anita wears to the dance. Did you see all the pretty ruffles on the inside of the skirt when she lifted it? Love.ReplyDelete
Wonderful post! As a little girl I would have given anything for Liesel's dress in the gazebo scene of The Sound of Music or Scarlett's Twelve Oaks barbecue dress.ReplyDelete
I loved the pretty woman wardrobe too! I can't remember very well, but isn't she rocking the suit with SHORTS and pumps in the end where George tries to get some?? Ah - and the red dress - it made me think I could wear red too! My hair is close in color to hers.ReplyDelete
Other than pretty woman, movies that influenced me (sadly) in the wardrobe area were - Pretty in Pink (I can't believe I didn't start sewing clothes until later in life!!), the lost boys (good LORD I loved the gypsie look!!), When harry met sally (i know, right? But whenever I see that movie now I'm reminded of trying to get some of meg ryan's looks together - black tights, shorts and red sweater especially. And the tweed trousers), this one is wierd but Kim Basinger's wardrobe in 9 1/2 weeks was perfect 80's to die for and I LOVED it!!, a fleeting love of annie hall but I really couldn't carry off the tie-look, and this isn't a movie - but Katrin mentioned barbies and while I really wasn't into clothes as a kid, I did have barbies and to this DAY I think that my love of tightly fitted clothing is related to the great satisfaction i got snapping Barbie's tight dresses on!
oh! oh! and allie sheedy's look from st. elmo's fire!! I totally forgot that!ReplyDelete
My parents are old movie buffs--we got one of the first VCRs in the 80s, and my dad set out to collect everything. (There are somewhere around 500 movies in my dad's collection.) Which means that anything they put Natalie Wood as a little girl were dresses that I wanted. Later in the 80s, I was in love with the dress Sarah wears in Labyrinth. And I always loved Cinderella's ballgown and wedding gown!ReplyDelete
when i was a kid in the 80s i was allowed to watch DALLAS with Pricilla Presley and Victoria Principle and of course Charlene Tilton. I wanted everything that those women wore. Any wonder why now I like the 40s? HELLO..the 80s was the 40s remix!ReplyDelete
Oh! The dance dress in The King and I still makes me swoon!ReplyDelete
I love this movie and recently got to see it in HD...it was like seeing it for the first time, so many details! I encourage folks to go re-watch their old favorites. I didn't think Anna's gown could look any better, but it did.
I remember wanting to dress like the Pink Ladies in Grease, I fell in love with cigarette pants and pencil skirts from then on..that tough tomboy chic.ReplyDelete
Gone with the Wind, The King and I, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins....is it any wonder I have a minor love affair with corsetry?ReplyDelete
Honestly, I can't think of any movies that I was in love with the costumes, that WEREN'T of that era and period pieces.
Shoot, even Taylor's Cleopatra wore corsets!
Now I think you should have followed "My Fair Lady" with "Pretty Woman." The similarities between the two movies--right down to the horse race--are remarkable.ReplyDelete
(Sorry, subbing to comments.)ReplyDelete
Oh, yes, child of the 80s here...Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club.ReplyDelete
I had a full wardrobe of pink, peach, madras plaid, various "fancy" denims, and all kind of goofy loaferish shoes--when I wasn't wearing Keds with layered slouchy socks.
Gotta remember to burn those pictures...
Mine, strangely, was 'Clue' - the one with Tim Curry? Oh, to be Miss Scarlet. Or Jessica Rabbit. Luckily, I also liked the girly, southern-ness of 'Fried Green Tomatoes' and 'Steel Magnolias', so kept my inner femme fatale under wraps. 'Roman Holiday' was another biggie, I love the way she changes her whole outfit with scarf placement.ReplyDelete
One of my favorites is Edith Head's "ugly" dress that Julie Andrews wore in Sound of Music...when Maria first sets out from the abbey.ReplyDelete
I agree with the Mary Poppins one. I wanted her hat with the ribbon tht tied under her chin sooooo bad!ReplyDelete
It was fun to see this look back on impressionable fashions from someone that is my age. :) Pretty Woman and Clueless were both high on the fashion scale for me, too. I still love that whiney voice she used for the "Calvin Klein" line. So great.ReplyDelete
And, I'm not sure if I should be embarassed to admit this or not, but Dirty Dancing was a biggie for me, too - both for, well, the *dancing* and the clothes. I wanted her pink dress from the last scene SO BAD!!! Hell, I still want that dress!
- AnonymousAugust 11, 2010 at 11:25 AM
Anne of Green Gables, and I also loved the dresses that Laura wore in Little House on the Praerie. Little Women" is also a favorite of mine.ReplyDelete
i'm blue sleeping beauty dress all the way.ReplyDelete
jennifer connely's dresses in labyrinth & mia sara's dresses in legend were dreams for me :D
Oh my gosh, I squealed when I saw Sleeping Beauty's dress! As a child, I always said I wanted a white version of that dress to wear to my wedding.ReplyDelete
Great post!
Oooh how exciting - including the comments - I have been having Pretty in Pink memories recently myself - & fave film of all time Gone with the Wind - it has to be the dress that Scarlett makes out of curtains for visiting Rhett in gaol...ReplyDelete
I actually did a short post on films that inspire me to create- http://tartdeco.blogspot.com/2010/06/movies-to-inspire.htmlReplyDelete
In it are listed most of the movies that I fell in love with when I was a kid. I would have to say that the 3 movies that inspired me most though when I was younger were Singin' in the Rain, Funny face and Pretty in Pink.
Since I love old movies, I'll go back a few more decades: everything Ingrid Bergman wore in Notorious and Casablanca is fabulous. Also the clothes in the original version of The Women; the costuming and corsets in Richard Lester's The three (and four) Musketeers (with Richard Chamberlin, Oliver Reed and Michael York); Lauren Bacall's clothes in To have and Have Not; All of Grace Kelly's clothes in Rear Window and To catch a Thief; and , everything Faye Dunaway wore in the original Thomas Crown Affair. Yum!ReplyDelete
All my favorites were listed!!:-)ReplyDelete
My all time favorite movie dress is Rosemary Clooney's Edith Head gown from White Christmas. The scene at the Carousel Club. This gown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6X861Y9TYIReplyDelete
Someday when my sewing skills improve I will knock it off. I LOVE that gown!
I looooved the style in Clueless. I was 10 or 11 when the movie came out and my mom bought me a Clueless inspired outfit. It consisted of a button down long sleeve white shirt, a red v-neck sweater vest, a plaid mini skirt, just above the knee white knee socks and black patent leather high heel (not too high!) It was cute, not over the top or streetwalker-ish like Cher's Calvin Klein dress.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 11, 2010 at 12:38 PM
Oh, yes yes to My Fair Lady. Also, any of the dresses in White Christmas! Those ladies had style.ReplyDelete
I remember being in LOVE with the Cinderella dress, but not the blue one the Godmother gave her, gag. The pink one with bows the mice and birds made. (Perhaps my inner seamstress was appreciative of their handiwork).ReplyDelete
Also, Grace Kelly's dress in Rear Window with the black bodice and poofy skirt. Heaven. (On a side note, there is a new Grace Kelly biography with AMAZING pictures of her in all her fashion perfection).
I grew up in the seventies watching films from the 30's and 40's. I loved all the snazzy suits with matching hats, gloves, and handbags. And all the amazing evening gowns with matching gloves, handbag and cape.ReplyDelete
I was also a BIG Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly fan. But I think they both possessed such exquisite poise they could make a sack look glamorous!
Loved this post!
Ditto everything you listed!! Especially Mary Poppins. And I LOVED the dresses in White Christmas. And The Happiest Millionaire!!ReplyDelete
I once had an idea of doing a blog series like this, but it just seemed too daunting as my idea was a post per outfit Perhaps I'll do a list instead? Mine however are outfits that influenced what I have worn and still hope to wear one day. Thanks for reminding me of it.ReplyDelete
You inspired me to do a whole blog post about it! Thanks, this was so much fun. To hear everyone's and to think it up for myself.ReplyDelete
- Jennifer SAugust 11, 2010 at 4:59 PM
I have a picture of Kate Winslet's light blue shift dress in Revolutionary Road sitting on my ironing board with a chunk of brown linen, waiting for me to draft the top, right now. I even have fancy embroidery thread to boot for the topstitching. I fell for the dress so hard when I watched the movie that I sketched it out right then and missed part of the movie. Probably good I had already read the book.ReplyDelete
My favourite film dresses by far are in Gigi. The greatest is the beautiful white dress with the crazy shoulders - I've wanted that dress every since I was little!ReplyDelete
Many mentioned above plus Grace Kelly's blue-grey chiffon and candy stripe dress in High Society, oh and the Grecian style outfit she wears in the pool scene too in that film. I had the great joy of seeing the dress in the Grace Kelly exhibition at V&A, London, apparently she was given her film wardrobe, what a job!ReplyDelete
Slightly off/on-topic but one of my favourite dresses of the exhibit was the first I saw, handmade by Grace from a commercial sewing pattern. That dress has such an impact, it makes her feel real and less extraordinary and it sells the fairytale that draws us into these films as actual possible reality - the story of ordinary girl meets Prince, falls in love, live happily ever after!
Clearly a subject we all have something to say about! The first movie that comes to mind is Gone With The Wind. I loved them all!ReplyDelete
As for Pretty Woman, my favorite dress in that movie is the black cocktail dress.
I share a love of Julie Andrews films, even though for a long time my childhood self refused to accept that Fraulein Maria and Miss Poppins were played by the same actress (they have different coloured hair!!!).ReplyDelete
I used to dream of having a dress like the one Leisl wears in "Sixteen going on Seventeen" but now I'm a bit older I simply love every outfit worn by the Baroness, especially the party dress with that amazing puff of superfluous tulle!
Emma (the one with Gwyneth Paltrow); Titanic (Kate's dresses!); Amadeus (weird, but I would totally dress like an 18th century lord if I could); and Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Admittedly, these are somewhat beyond my youth, but what can I say, I'm a late bloomer.ReplyDelete
Oh, Pretty Woman and Clueless! Looooved the outfits. I remember channeling Cher and Dionne back in middle school/early high school. Also, Grease. I wanted pretty much every outfit in that movie.ReplyDelete
Selena was another movie with great costuming in my book. There's a scene where she's wearing jeans, a white button up shirt tied at the mid riff and that red lipstick... I totally copied that look.
I actually made a Sleeping Beauty dress for Halloween a couple of years ago (the dress was blue). It was actually my first drafted dress, since there isn't an adult size pattern out there.ReplyDelete
I tried to get my mom to make me the "Curtains Dress" from Gone with the Wind when I was a teenager but it was a no go.
The whole wardrobe of the countess in the Sound of Music stands out to me. She always looked so polished and elegant. Audrey Hepburn always figures in there too. That black dress from Breakfast at Tiffanys. The white ballgown with the black embroidery in Sabrina, quite a few from Funny Face. Of course, there is THAT green dress from Atonement.ReplyDelete
Clueless and Sleeping Beauty are great! The dresses in Shakespeare in Love--particularly Viola's yellow number in which she met the queen--had me enamored as an eight year old. My mom and I also always loved Belle's yellow dress in The Beauty and the Beast. Perhaps I have a subconscious thing for smart girls in yellow frocks!ReplyDelete
- AngelaUAugust 12, 2010 at 12:25 AM
The first costumes that really caught my attention when I was young were not from a movie, but from the TV show "Dark Shadows"- all the flowing chiffony gowns you got to wear when you became a ghost or vampire. I yearned to be ethereal, which seemed to be a great thing to aspire to when one was 11 with greasy skin and pimples. I did get my mother to make my confirmation dress look just like the one worn by one of the characters.ReplyDelete
A few years later, I saw "My Fair Lady" and loved it! Oh, that Ascot hat! And the ball gowns- just gorgeous. Don't forget that lovely frothy pink chiffon frock Audrey Hepburn wore in last scenes. I spent a lot of time drawing ladies in lovely Edwardian gowns and wishing that our High School would do "My Fair Lady", so that I could be Eliza. (No such luck.)
My dream dress is the red dress Pretty Woman wears when they go to the opera...ReplyDelete
Oh well picked! I loved all those films as a kid!! I also loved the musical version of Oliver Twist and Charlie and the Chocolate factory.ReplyDelete
I've been thinking about this and realised that I had so, so many of these growing up! Among some I loved were: Buffy's prom dress from the Buffy film (with Luke Perry), Natalie Wood's outfits in Rebel Without a Cause, Dorothy's gingham dress/red shoes combo in The Wizard of Oz, Chacha's dress from the dance in Grease, Tia's outfits in Uncle Buck and (one someone else has already mentioned), the floaty southern looks in Fried Green Tomatoes.ReplyDelete
What a fun post!
I also loved Belle's dress in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and Aurora's dress in Sleeping Beauty.ReplyDelete
"Sabrina" contains two of my favorite film dresses of all time: the party dress Sabrina wears out on her date with Linus, and the incredible strapless white and black evening gown.
I deeply love Lorraine McFly's prom dress in Back to the Future.
And of course, Nicole Kidman's red dress in Moulin Rouge.
This is going farther back than anyone here, I think, but I loved Betty Anderson's clothes on Father Knows Best. Not a week went by when Betty didn't get to wear a beautiful formal, with a big crinoline and a matching chiffon stole. ,Also, the costumes on Mickey Mouse Club and (oh the embarrassment) Lawrence Welk. And all those variety shows with dancers, and the westerns with saloon girls in feathers and schoolmarms in calico and bonnets.ReplyDelete
Agnes- I LOVED the dresses on Lawrence Welk! In fact, I used my memory of them to design my wedding dress (I did a 50s/rockabilly theme). Those crinolines were amazing!ReplyDelete

I'm a little schizo when it comes to the movie dresses (of all time). However, from my childhood and before...ReplyDelete
1) Any of Grace Kelly's outfits in Rear Window. I still watch that movie for the fashion (and because it's one of the best Hitchcocks). I especially love the black and white dress and the green and white suit.
2) Buffy's dress at the end of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie... at the dance.
3) I loved (and still do) most of the outfits in Valley Girl. I also loved Nick Cage's wardrobe in that movie as well. Yes, I'm an 80s/90s child.
4) Not from my childhood, but one the best wardrobes on film is Nicole Kidman's in The Others. Super fashion love!
There are others I'm definitely forgetting. Oh, and my childhood best friend (who was about 5'11" at 12) looked just like Julia Roberts and had that polka-dot dress. I always love that dress and hat, too!
I knew it was going to be a good blog when I saw Mary Poppins at the top of it.ReplyDelete
- GayleneAugust 14, 2010 at 9:15 AM
oh, just remembered the white Edwardian gowns from Pinic at Hanging Rock, which inspired a lifelong love of Edwardian style, and all of Audrey Hepburn's outfits from Sabrina FairReplyDelete
I was in love with Lesley Ann Warren's rags in "Rodgers and Hammerstien's Cinderella" - oddly, I hated her ballgown! I think I wore a bright orange bandana for a good month or so after the first viewing, it being the only piece of her outfit I could immitate.ReplyDelete
I had a purple dress when I was really small that looked identical to one worn by the girl who played Mary Lenox in the Hallmark "Secret Garden." I literally destroyed it from too much wear! Apparently such dresses are not a good for gardening as that movie led me to believe.
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
(with links) Re Carrie's link to Sabrina's party dress, I think you easily recreate that dress from Butterick B4513, cutting the neckline a little higher.ReplyDelete
And talking of The Sound of Music, does anyone else ever think that Butterick cut their sample dresses of their Retro range out of old curtain drapes?
I adore the Mary Poppins and My Fair Lady dresses too. As a kid whose parents are old movie junkies, I wanted anything Ginger Rogers wore (floaty with feathers) and the 1920's glamour gowns in Singing in the Rain.ReplyDelete
Some fashion faves: Audrey's dress in the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's is a top pick (also loved how she wore a man's tuxedo shirt as her nightgown!)...Marilyn Monroe's bombshell gown in Gentlement Prefer Blondes...Any and all of Scarlett O'Hara's costumes...ReplyDelete
...Also always dreamed of puffed sleeves and meeting Gilbert Blythe - nice to see some other folks also shared the childhood fascination! : )
Oh my goodness - when I was growing up, I must have watched Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window about 10 times on television. Grace Kelly's gorgeous party dress with a black v-shaped bodice, nipped waist, full tea-length white tulle or chiffon skirt was just exquisite and became a huge inspiration to me. Even the accessories were amazingly perfect, from her pearl necklace to her shoulder wrap to her black high heel shoes - all to die for, lol!ReplyDelete
I wish I could find a pattern that might allow me to duplicate that dress some day.
I'm with Missy on Valley Girl!ReplyDelete
Going back further in my past are Mary Tyler Moore's clothes on The Dick Van Dyke show (deeply imprinted on my fashion sense) and of course,
Diane Keaton (my life style icon), beginning with Annie Hall.
this was such a fun post! Everything in Pretty Woman, especially the purple diner dress. I still can't believe I didn't buy the knockoff from Victoria's Secret when I had the figure. And Rear Window, with that humongous pegnoir in that tiny little case...a total fantasy.ReplyDelete
I always loved costume dramas and watched a lot of AMC back when the classic films were all film-noir, musicals and the like from the 30's 40's and 50's. I love pretty much all the clothes from "Funny Face" - it's one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn films, mostly because it has Fred Astaire in it, too. I loved the dresses in "White Christmas", especially the black one that Rosemary Clooney wears at the Carousel Club. As a teen, "Pretty in Pink" was pretty much where I was, especially with my thrift-store and vintage wardrobe, though I must confess that "Desperately Seeking Susan" made me want to have an awesome jacket like Madonna's and drove me to paint on a jean jacket to try to achieve a similar look.ReplyDelete
I know this is an old old post but I remember when you posted this last year and one of the dresses in your list is my favourite too. And, tada! http://renaissancebombshell.blogspot.com/2011/11/vivian-at-polo.htmlReplyDelete
I also loved the Mary Poppins dress and the Sleeping Beauty colour changing dress. I also used to love the fancy dress that Geena Davis wears in Cutthroat Island (the best pirate film of all time) when she is trying to be a lady. I wanted to be a pirate when I was little (and maybe still do!)ReplyDelete

big big fan of alice in wonderland. I am such a sucker for pinnies! Little house on the praries, i loved laura ingles dresses. Mary poppins white dress. And the green and white garden dress from gone with the wind.ReplyDelete

musicals and any other especially theatrical films, and when I look back on these beloved films, I always remember the dresses.

Age of Wulin
Age of Wulin is a MMORPG centered on a Wuxia-focused historical China. Heavily inspired by period dramas, it puts players in the shoes of a martial artist from one of 8 major schools, and gives them a large sandbox world to do as they wish, whether that is spying on rival schools, or working as a craftsman. Naturally, most people come for the martial arts, and this is where the game also shines, boasting a non-linear progression system, unabashedly vibrant combat and more than enough techniques to make your own mishmash of a fighting style. Age of Wulin is a brightly appealing title rife with sometimes excessive complexity, which will however manage to lure you in with martial arts, and keep you through its addictive freeform progression system. If you've ever thought Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would make a good game, then this is the title for you.
Key Features:
No Levels, No Classes: Learn your opponents' true strength by fighting them. Proceed with caution! That beggar on the street may be a traveling Grand Master.
Random NPC Encounter System: Every encounter and event is determined by how NPCs and the game world perceive you. No online guide can tell you what each encounter and quest will entail.
8 Martial Arts Schools: Choose a school to build your craft. Seeking insight not offered at your current alma mater? Invade another to steal their secrets, or befriend a Wulin master for help.
Counter Combat System: Modeled after the traditional martial art, combat rewards those with the greatest skill, anticipation and execution. Never let your guard down!
Solid Kung-fu Action: Fight your enemy on the ground, while leaping through the air, and on water, using a variety of moves and weaponry, ranging from simple fists, to chains and sabers.
Freeform Progression: With three different set of skills for each school, there is a lot of skill potential. Even better, you can acquire all of them if you so desire, allowing you to make exactly the fighting style you wish for.
8 Iconic Martial Arts Schools: From the virtuous Wudang to the cruel and ruthless Royal Guards, each school has its own vibe, theme and set of moves to offer.
Life Skills System: In Age of Wulin, you can embody a variety of professions, from blacksmith to beggar, all the way to chess player.
Open-world PvP: Compete through many venues, from school warfare and espionage, to crafting duels through a mini-game version of Bejeweled. Be warned, PvP can happen anywhere!
Aerial Combat: You know, like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!
32 Guild Sites: Upgrade each guild site to mobilize and defend what you worked so hard to build.
5000 Equipment Types: Unique Wulin ways to enhance your ever-growing ancient skills.
17 Professions: Learn a trade to complement your fighting prowess.
30 Offline Activities: Not online to train? Keep your character progressing as an NPC. A true master never sleeps!
6 Unique Story Lines: Become the protagonist of your own story, not some insignificant bystander.

2 tbsp fine breadcrumbs
View the complete recipe
This looks so good! I think I'll do a trial half batch this weekend to test for Super Bowl Sunday. Congrats on 800 and let's see 800 more!
Chef John, this looks amazing! Would this recommend this par-boiling method for the other oven-fry recipes too?
I would think it should work with any oven-fried method. Give it a try!
Happy 800th! maybe it's time for Mozo to make a comeback(a guest appearance)
Happy 800! Thank you! Here's to many, many more!
Heyyy Chef J! I'm what the french would call a broke-ass college student. But I still like eating so I aim to stretch your recipes to the limit of frugality. What could I do with all that leftover parboil broth? Soup? Sauce? Fragrant hair oil? (but skip the last one cus I'm as bald as a portobello cap).
800 more, please !!!
Lol. Prob too salty to eat, but maybe boil some pasta in it.
I admire you so much, have a dvd I ordered, gave you a little money at some point. It will never be enough because of how many times I have wowed family and friends with what are your recipes. There may be things you have yet to do and I look forward to each and every upload....
Regarding Beef Wellington. I say Chef Ramsey does the best, isn't it his signature dish? I challenge thee to come up with one better ;)
Thank you Chef John, for all you do...
Thanks to Chef Jon, I find all recipes man-pleasing. My husband thanks you.
These wings look amazing!
Love the recopies, the Potato au Gratin w/sottocenere made our holidays. Question, can we parboil chicken tenders, cut into bites, or are the bone-in wings necessary? I guess what I am asking is will they become too tender. Anyway, first time long time, found you from your pizza crust via wolfgang puck pizza dough. Keep us fed, we think you are the best.
First time long time. Question, if we use chicken breast tenders and cut into bits, is it ok to parbroil them? I am concerned about the meat becoming too tender without the bone-in wings as my wife won't de-bone..um-ify them. If you get a chance let me know. BTW, your potatoes au gratin al la sottocenere was a hit for our holidays. Thanks for the recipies, Happy New Year!
800 recipes!
You are the "person I respect".
I hope you will continue to make us happy!
Anyway,congratulations one 800 recipes.
Thanks all!
Bryan, this recipe is only for wings. without the bones and skin, this technique won't really work. The post boiling may work ok, but no promises. ;)
I'm thrilled that you feel like you have lots more vids to do, Chef, cuz that means you will be doing this for a long time to come, right? I hope to be reading about it when you hit 1,000--2,000--3,000 and more! Huge fan of the site and am trying to catch up on all 800 (since I just discovered the blog this past year). I watch several a day--so I will eventually see em all, I hope! ;)
These wings look AWESOME! Garlic Parm is one of my favorite ways to get the delivered wings (from the big Pizza/Wing chain that does flavored wings). I bet these blow those right out of the water! I will for sure have to try this one :) I love that there is no flipping em on the oven pan!
And OMG yes please on the showing us Bleu Cheese dressing, BTW!
<3 ya Chef! Keep on posting those vids!
Wow! I used drumsticks instead wings and it still worked great. Being larger, I had to toss them rather than ise a spatula. I reduced then used the left over liquid for quinoa instead of water and I par boiling broccoli and cauliflower before roasting them. What a great, tasty and simple meal!
Congrats on your 800th post! I was never interested in cooking until I came across your blog. Now I'm hooked. Thank you!
Hello Chef John, first of all thanks for all your hard work, 800 recipes and counting!
Now a question, the 15 mins parboiling time, does it already cook the wings through? I'm the only one who eats chicken wings in my family so... if I make 6 or so of these, is it still 15 mins or how do I see if they are ready? The baking time should be reduced too... Right?
they are close to cooked after 15. Time for fewer is the same. Maybe a few minutes less in oven, but not much.
I am cooking the wings now...can't wait to see and taste how they will turn out!
Can you make calzones?
Congratulations on 800 Chef! I've probably made 50 of your recipes so far. All have been fantastic. Thank you for making me a better cook!
Chef John- 800 videos -an amazing feat!!! You have impacted the culinary world in a unique & meaningful way! Celebrate Chef! We celebrate you!!! So now, I want a Chef John apron!
Thanks again everyone!!
I have been watching your blog for years now and I love how you can still continuously bring out great recipes one after the other!
I would love to support you, do you have any videos or books that you are releasing?
Would it be okay to use drumsticks instead of wings?
Can't wait to try this recipe!
congratulations on the 800th recipe. Been a big fan for a long time. THX
Chef John,
Love your recipes. I am wondering if you can recommend a good online restaurant supply to buy quality products from?
Chef John,
Love your recipes. Had these wings last evening with some homemade pizza using you no knead crust. Great for the football games.
I was wondering if you could recommend a good online restaurant supply to buy quality products from?
Mark, I use Amazon for most online cooking purchases.
KB, yes drumsticks work, see Mat's comment above!
Please open a facebook page. I would love to share you delicious food for to everyone to try.
I stumbled onto your site looking for an oven-fry method about 2 or 3 years ago. It is only right that #800 would be an awesome wing recipe! Thanks for for the great methods. Side note: Since I don't eat pork or beef, yet from South Carolina, I miss Lowcountry barbecue. I'd love to see a recipe using turkey breast or chicken to simulate the pulled pork.
You da' man!
I've been a fan of the Foodwishes Youtube channel for a long time, but this is the first Chef John recipe that I've tried on my own...I made these wings for myself and my roommates and it was a hit!! It was so easy to make (if not very quick), even in my tiny apartment kitchen. I definitely plan on trying some other recipes now!
Hey Chef John,
2 questions for ya!
1) I'm wondering why you discourage the use of panko in this recipe? I only had Panko in the house and by the time I realized it was too late. I had already committed. So, I used my hands to grind it up so it would be a bit more fine and less airy as a quick fix. Just curious about the benefit of using finely ground breadcrumbs.
2)I'm a college student with not so much money. As a result of this, I didn't have a stew pot big enough to hold 3 quarts. I decided I would use two pots for the recipe. I thought that in about 1.5 quarts of water that your "broth" mixture would be too concentrated, so I opted to use 75% of the ingredients between 2 pots rather than 100% in 1 pot. Was this wrong? The wings turned out good but I'm wondering if they can be improved?
Hi Chef John,
That video is awesome! I am totally gonna go buy me some wings, my mouth is watering.
By the way, what would be the alternative to balsamic vinegar?
You can use another vinegar, but nothing has the same flavor as balsamic.
Thanks Chef :)
Making these this weekend!!! :) You're awesome and I don't know if this sounds creepy but I like the way you talk lol You're videos are very fun to watch.
I want to make these tonight for tomorrows game. How far into the recipe can i go before refrigerating? Is it ok to par-boil and then let air dry and leave in the fridge. Then tomorrow cook it in the over?
I want to get these ready tonight before Superbowl tomorrow. Can I do the par boil, let them dry and then refrigerate so i can cook them tomorrow? Or will that affect the taste?
Should be fine!
Oh i dont know how to thank you, your blog is amazing!! Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge. You are wonderful!
Chef John thank you and thank you for sharing, you are very generous.
Made this for game day & was AWESOME!!! Thanks so much!! 😃
Another home run from Chef John!!!! (or touch down?, I don't know football, I'm from Venezuela)
I made this for a friends Super Bowl party... everyone raved about them, they were awesome, special, spicy, perfect!!!
I even got a comment last weekend from one of my buddies saying "man, you really ruined it for me.... I use to love going to pubs for chicken wings but after trying yours they all taste sub par!!" LOL
Quick tip for anyone interested... I recently discovered solo garlic which is what I used, it has great flavor and it's a single giant clove per head so A LOT less peeling!
hey chef :), i really want to know how do u do the dipping sauce, because, that's like the best part
Chef John,
Just found your site. Looks like some amazing recipes. Going to try the Chicken Parm bake this weekend. 1 question on the wings, can you do the par-boil ahead of time and then do the coating and baking later? I would let come to room temp before doing the coating. Thanks.
My mom has never did wings good, i showed her this and we made them exactly how you did in the video and she did great thanks to you, Thank you dude!
This was really good!
This was really good!
made them once,now my wife and friends request them all the time thankyou so much for all the wonderful tips and recipes, you rock chef john
We want to try these at home but I have to eat gluten free suggestions for altering the recipe without compromising taste?
Chef John, can I parboil the wings, coat them with the garlic paste, breadcrumbs, Parmesan & then wait 4 hours before putting them in the oven for 25mins? Or is this recipe meant to be prepared just before eating?
I think this needed more salt. I'd put more when coating the chicken in the garlic. Not sure if I had too much water in the par boil part. I didn't measure 3 quarts
Being a chef myself I totally admire this guy Chef John; the way he presents his recipes and TEACHES others his grips and special tricks, the way he jokes while doing an incredible job cooking makes him tome the best celebrity chef ever, I'd take him as a partner over any other chef, even over Iron Chefs Bobby Flay or Mike Symon. Foodwishes.com is the very best blog out there.
My 14 year old son and I made these for Superbowl last week. They were FANTASTIC! We're making a fresh batch today.
I made these for the week after Super Bowl! They were delicious. A very interesting technique. Curious if parchment would work just as well as foil (but wasn't prepared to try it and wreck the recipe!). Maybe next time... :-)
800 videos? Outstanding! Here's to 8000 more.
I loved these wings! My whole family gobbled them up and that's huge to satisfy all our appetites from young kids to well, older - I mean mature adults.
All I have to say about these wings is that they are awesome...chef John because of you I have expanded my cooking skills and love most of your dishes that you put on. Please continue on....your the best...
Do you know if this would still work to omit the bread crumbs for a low carb/keto/Atkins-friendly recipe? I *love* how the recipe sounds. Just wondering if there is a substitute coating that would work OR leave out the bread crumbs altogether...still crispy? Any ideas?
Hi Chef John! Thank you for this recipe. I haven't tried this par boiling before with chicken wings and I have to let you know that it came out very well iso tender and delicious!!!
Thank you Chef John!!! As always more power to you:)
Chef .. Just made them exactly you did but they stuck really bad to the foil and seemed very blane . Don't know what I did wrong ?? Any help ??
No idea! Sounds like you needed more salt and seasoning!
Can you tell me the name of the mortar/pestle set you used? I've never seen one with a nice large pestle like that. A particular item name or manufacturer?
Can you tell me the name of the mortar/pestle set you used? I've not seen one with the nice large pestle before. Item name or manufacturer? Thanks, Karen.
Sorry, it's not marked, and I don't remember the brand!
As a broke college student, my stomach thanks you. This has become a frequent request via my husband. You rock Chef John! My favorite chef on the internet! :)
I just made these for dinner. The wings didn't have the golden color but they still tasted amazing. Now I'm stunk of garlic, but I don't care. :-)
About how long would it take if you used chicken breasts with the boiling and then the oven baking, kinda flying blind and would like to know how long it would take as an estimate.
Thanks Chef!
Hi I am doing this for my family as the recipe sounds awesome but there are only 3 of us so I am doing half the recipe. I need to halve the ingredients, right? And is the cooking time reduced? I read one of the earlier comments and it referred that the cooking time is slightly less. So for 2 pounds chicken wings it's a few minutes lesser? Can't wait to try this recipe out! Thanks if you can reply.
I've got to tell you something, handsome. I've made a lot of your recipes in the past and they've all been good. This one however as the best recipe I've tried. The chicken was literally falling off the bone and the flavor profile was perfect. These things didn't even make it to my dinner table. My family and I ate these while standing in front of the stove. I'm going to the store in the morning to get more wings so I can make this again. Absolutely incredible.
What happens to the water after you parboil chicken wings in it? Can we use it as chicken stock?
Making this for a second time--my public demands it! This is a fun and simple way to make some great wings.
Hey Chef John, I am becoming a HUGE fan of your channel. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes! But, I did have a question about this recipe, since I've tried out a bunch of your food so far and it's all been amazing, except for this one. The wings were a bit on the dry side. I did have to broil them for a few minutes at the very end because I was having trouble getting good color on them, so I'm guessing that's what caused them to dry out a little. I guess my ultimate question is: do you have any idea why I wasn't getting enough color initially? Could not having enough oil in the mixture cause this? Or maybe over-par-boiling them? I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions precisely, but you never know. Just wondering if you had any input. Sorry for the long-winded post. And, thanks in advance!
Update: I tried making these wings again, this time going straight to putting them under the broiler for a few minutes per side (side note -- as I use my oven more and more, I am noticing it's kind of sucky and doesn't give good color to a lot of recipes. Maybe because it's electric or maybe because the temp is off). After trying the wings this way, they turned out amazing!!! Juicy, flavorful, and just overall awesome!! Thanks again for the great recipe, Chef John!
First time commenter. Been following for awhile. Picked up sourdough bread from here and I think I've made a loaf just about every week for the last 6 months. Anyway, second time on this. Excellent. Just wanted to add that the chicken broth makes great rice!
Chef John - Assume you can use grated (powdered) parmesan? It looks like you used shaved parmesan.
CONGRATULATIONS on your 800th video! Here's to the next 800!
Me too! I want an apron that says... and as always, ENJOY
Happy 800!This looks so good,This was really good!Mr.Chef John, first of all thanks for all your hard work.And thanks for sharing recipe..dressing sense for female in india

Sooooo beautifully dreamy - the color of egg yolks on a stormy morning! MUST. MAKE. ONE.!! What yarn did you use? (please?)ReplyDelete
oops, sorry - just saw that! Love MadtoshReplyDelete
Beautiful! and the yellow and grey a firm favorite. KxxReplyDelete
I was a knitter long before I took up quilting so I always have more than one knitting project on the needles - right now I think there's five pairs of socks, a blanket awaiting finishing, two more on the needles and an assortment of UFOs!ReplyDelete
Wow, I just started knitting and crocheting and I'm pretty hopeless. I'm going to persist, though I think I'll always be more of a sewer.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I'm also a left handed knitter although I knit very simple things and not very often :)ReplyDelete
I stopped knitting about 7 years ago because it would hurt my hands after a while but looking at your projects is making me want to give it a go again! Gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Stunning shawl! Wow, you are a fast knitter! I enjoy it as well. Love the colors you choose and the lace edging. Awesome and thanks for sharing today!ReplyDelete
Every time I see this shawl I lust, lust, lust for it. Knitting was a disaster for me in the past, and little time now for my quilting, but maybe one day...I hope!ReplyDelete
I love that color combination!ReplyDelete
holy cow those shawls are gorgeous! i crochet only... knitting baffles me! but i love to oogle all the fancy knit goodies i see! just gorgeous...ReplyDelete
Love this one Rit...colours are lovely. happy new year to you xxReplyDelete
Just love these colors together. Like a wan winter sunset. The lace knitting frames it all so nicely too!ReplyDelete
gorgeous shawls, on and all!ReplyDelete
I am left handed but I haven't noticed that I knit left handed! I should pay attention to that, I suppose! I love the shawls, all very pretty together.ReplyDelete
Beautiful shawls!!ReplyDelete
The yarn! The pattern! That is drop dead gorgeous. I am in love.ReplyDelete
Your shawls are to die for and your photos are just beautiful, too!ReplyDelete
Absolutely beautiful!ReplyDelete
Wow, that's beautiful!ReplyDelete
aaahhwww I wish I could knit that way! beautiful scarves :-)ReplyDelete
You are one of the most creative people on the web!
Your shawls are absolutely gorgeous!
So much to admire and be inspired by at Red Pepper!
It's gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Wow, that is a great looking shawl! I love Kristin Kapur's patterns but haven't attempted one yet, this version makes me really want to jump in there and knit one!ReplyDelete
the colors are great !!! love it going to go and check it out on ravelryReplyDelete
Such beautiful knitting and I am crazy about your colour choices! Love the coloured and contrasting lace!ReplyDelete
Oh wow, this is so beautiful! I just cast on for my first (of many?) Cladonia on New Year's Day. I am really enjoying knitting it! One of my yarns is Madelintosh, also. I like your idea of using the three colors instead of two--it's an interesting and subtle variation.ReplyDelete
nothing wrong with repeating patterns! I have made a few of my favourite simple shawls twice or more because of the comfort of knitting them, the wearability of them and just the joy of it.
Yours is lovely. Just beautiful.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it.

True Romance in the White House ...
The candies Big Guy gave us are a little different. They're all the same flavor, you know the pale yellow kind that don't taste like anything, and they say "O Loves U Back." Rahm seemed kind of pleased with his little box of the yellow hearts, but others weren't so happy. It was obvious Big Guy hadn't spent much time thinking about what to give to everyone, and all the women in the office are standing with their backs against the wall every time Big O walks by.
Michelle wasn't particularly happy either, but not because of that. Last Valentine's Day, you'll recall, Big Guy took her on one of those opulent date nights that cost taxpayers a half a million dollars, with no share of the happy ending. This year, Big Guy didn't think he could risk the overnight trip to Paris he'd promised, so he made her a Valentine's Day card out of a bunch of scrap paper he found sitting on his desk. He worked on it really hard, and had Biden and Gibbsy help him with the gluing, and Bruno with the aluminum foil and sparkly stuff they added for that extra "wow" factor.
Lady M thought a Valentine made from the latest national debt statistics kind of cheapened the whole day; Big Guy disagreed since he said it told her he loved her more than spending. I think it just goes to show that they deserve each other. So, Happy Valentine's Day everybody.

Obummer should give lots of love to you, teleprompter.ReplyDelete
He'd be lost without you!
Kinda off topic, but - Has anyone heard if there has been a great increase in teleprompter orders? You'd think that is one company that would be doing a booming business - everyone wants to be a Swivelhead like Obama, right?ReplyDelete
So we were talking - That'd be a funny comedy sketch: Democrats Aping Obama! Have ordinary people using teleprompters during everyday life. Going to the bank, getting a traffic ticket, having sex...ReplyDelete
Can you pull this off?
True RomanceReplyDelete
Dunno if you guys saw the above movie,as it was perfect for a VD date.
Your gal,expected one thing,judging that book by it's cover,and got quite another.
Having no shortage of Machine Gun fire and other guy movie 'twists',it also contained Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in a stunning 5 minute scene most will never forget.That scene made the movie.Some will know which one.
Today,tho it is a less faithful form of romance,that has folks fighting AIDS in Africa.This morning
I caught an AP article pimping a device for "painless" male Circumscisions.
I have my doubts.
From the article.........("Experts explore ways to Circumcise Men").
"The main problem I can foresee with this is actually persuading men to sign up for it.........."
"Well yes,one imagines talking them into it might be a problem .
Most men cannot imagine sufficient foot / cost incentives down at the' Lumber' yard.
Others ,once adult ,refuse all negotiations on the matter.
This is not some IRS mileage deduction we hope to incentivize,or foot cost analysis from yesterdays adventures in True Romance Land.
Some lesser fellows might demand rates per centimeter,and justly so,
as not all are equiped w uh,Annacondae.
Rather than the " Ring " above promising pain free pruning.,
I would suggest a Wedding Ring instead.
That will shrink things up.
(Cross posted at the Barnyard,(me.com)).
Lotsa LOLs, TOTUS! Good entry!ReplyDelete
Rose, there is a very astute video done by "The Onion" of The Dear Reader using TOTUS at the dinner table...our host no doubt knows more about this. As for myself, I wouldn't mind the everyday Jane having a portable TOTUS. It might help those challenged with foot in mouth disease.ReplyDelete
BTW, TOTUS, I noticed LOTUS wrote a Valentine for you the other day on her blog. Are you really married to your job? If so, why the unexplained absences? Does The Dear Reader put you through so much overtime that you just, work, recharge, work, recharge?
XXOO,(and you know I don't hand those out lightly) Madame DeFarge
[TOTUS]"made her a Valentine's Day card out of a bunch of scrap paper ... and ... aluminum foil and sparkly stuff ... ."ReplyDelete
LOL, Totus, that wasn't Mitchell's card -- it was her gift, a new purse (matches most of her outfits).
No, seriously, it was Dope's applied physics project for his Ph.D. from M.I.T..
Wroooong question, buddy!
He will get the Ph.D.
That's affirmative.
Word (finally got a good one!):
What one Secret Serviceman says to another every morning... "Here comes the umster."
Dope: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, Hi.
Mrs. Butterworth humiliates disabled kid. The TSA made a disabled kid take off his LEG BRACES before he could board a plane bound for Orlando and Disney World. Our doughy chief of Homeland Security really knows no bounds, does she?ReplyDelete
Well, Chris, AFTER ALL, he was probably just another of those "___ retards" who might compete in [giggle] Special Olympics.ReplyDelete
Mrs. Butterworth most likely said in her smarmiest voice, "The system worked."
Really inspires confidence in Dope & Co. Security, Inc., doesn't it? Their X-ray machine can't even tell the difference between leg braces and dangerous weapons.ReplyDelete
Dope & Co. agent: Uuh, what's dat in da violin case?
Mooslim Terrorist [SMILE]: Why, that is my.... "arm brace."
D&C: Why'd you put it in your violin case?
MT: Easier to carry.
D&C: Where's da violin?
MT: In the case.
D&C: I don't see it.
MT: It's very small.
D&C: Duh.... why do you have such a tiny violin?
MT: Well, I only play a little.
D&C: Okay. Move along. Next!
Next day's headline:
New York -- Apparently dissatisfied with the service, a lone man......
Hey everyone! Did you all see the new Fox News Poll that said that a majority would NOT vote to re-elect Obama to a 2nd Term?ReplyDelete
Oh...wait...sorry. It was a CNN poll.
Bleak turns to Bleaker...
Bwah, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaa!ReplyDelete
Via Mark Steyn's site (steynonline.com), I just read the Philadelphia Inquirer story about the horrendous treatment of the above-mentioned 4-YEAR-OLD boy required to not only remove his leg braces, but forced to walk without them to satisfy the TSA agent. And, yup. The little guy is developmentally delayed. One of Rahm's "____ retards."ReplyDelete
His parents just want to put this behind them. I wish some Philly-area attorney would help them SUE THOSE ___ Obama & Co. Security JERKS!
Here's the URL for the article's page: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/home_region/20100215_Daniel_Rubin__Another_case_of_TSA_overkill.html?84374627=Y&submit=Vote&oid=1&mr=1&cid=8500281&pid=84374627
yoohoo, bettyann --ReplyDelete
you are missed.
Barak (who's insane) Obama...Mmmm...mmm...mm.ReplyDelete
Just had to get that out there.
Thank you for commenting, Chris. I was beginning to try to write a parody song in my head, but had gotten stuck.ReplyDelete
It's going something like:
Where have all the FOTAE gone?
Long time passing . . . .
Where have all the FOTAE gone?
Long time ago-o.
Where have all the FOTAE gone --
Gone to ________, everyone --
Oh how will we ever know?
Oh how will we -- ever know?
So - that's about as creative as I can get (Needs your assistance, TWW --). I don't know where you all have gone!
TOTUS, will you be in Denver today helping that LOOSER Bennet? And then off you go to Sin City for reid. The mayor of vegas doesn't want you there. Tell your master to stay in DC and get some work done!ReplyDelete
Where have all the FOTAE gone ?ReplyDelete
No need looking at the Barnyard aero,nobody there but a chicken or two. Not even the Ghost of Mary Travers haunts the place,presently.
Maybe they are at the MOTUS mirror site tho,as a few FOTS have taken roost there.
Some FOTAE flew the Coop here when TP Binged on 220,forever,it seemed,and I fancy, forgot and yes,failed his faithful FOTS fans.
Yes,he has a great excuse,being way busy working for POTUS as he does,and having little time for us here.Even typing at light speed.
Fresh roots are springing from here tho,and spring chicken sites have sprung from Hen and Rooster Romances also having something to cluck about.All grew weary of waiting for the new 'Postage' to arrive.Also most were
somewhere between weary and wary of rumored
pay per spew USPS style postage cost increases.
Remember Team Teleprompter Commenteers,when you were in 11th grade,and your Paramour kept pestering you to 'prove your love' ?
You may need to'do it'again here,and there
(at me.com),too,eventually.By Clucking up.
Not just Chicken Feed here and there,websites need EYEBALLS to survive,and like zombies, BRAINS,which are nearly as much fun to pick as noses.
As our literatae,if not the Twitterattae,will recall from Pope,I believe............
'You can pick your friends,you can pick your nose,but you cannot pick your friend's noses'.
Sounds like him but maybe it was that other Pope who was a noteworthy Card,frequently using his hand buzzer on his Bishops when they were receiving a blessing .
What a Cardinal and what a fountain of wisdom that man was and we FOTS are a fortunate few to hear his words again today.
Your welcome ,Of CORPSE.
Thanks for that gag Tea.(TWW).
You other Dear Prudents out there,do what you can to drag fingertip to keyboard again.
Just so we don't have to send out the search dogs.We are worried about you all.
Even the Telepromter who is again MIA,and
again presumed drunk on power of an inappropriate voltage.
Somone flip his breaker before he slips into permanent ' OFF ' time.
[Chris] "Barak (who's insane)" :D LOL, takes after his Muslim brother, So Damn Insane. Ha, HAAAA!ReplyDelete
Aero, cool song. You don't need my or anybody's help. Yeah, the mass exodus of the FOTS has saddened me, too. TOTUS' neglect to post has caused most of it, I'm sure, "But," I think to myself, "why didn't they at least say, 'Good bye?'" I don't mean everyone, but there were several cool posters who showed up regularly and just -POOF!-- dis-a-ppeared. Sigh.
Well, barring sudden death, if I abandon ship, I will be sure to post a final good bye.
Take heart, though, there are several regulars who are still "here," but are posting much less frequently.
I'm glad YOU are here.
Sunflower, too! Hooray!
[Sunflower] "The mayor of Vegas doesn't want you there." Uh, huh! WAY TO GO Mayor! That is SO COOL that he dissed the Fraud from Abroad and refused to meet with him. Wish the republicans would do the same re: Hopey the Clown's Feb. 25th public relations stunt.

Someone sent me an Emailed photo of you last night TP,since they know I am a fan.ReplyDelete
It was taken at the elementary school as BG
was enlightening the kids w talk of Bush's
secret racist earthquake bomb and the children's torture facility at GITMO.
I think that came off of your left screen.
It is so odd seeing you in tandem so to speak,but when speaking here,(occasionally)
you speak w only one voice,two screens or not.
None of that yin and yang,left and right stuff from your ego, >>and<< alter ego screens.
Here you speak exclusively from the right side,and I think those servers serving it.
(Oh,BTW,how is the service from those waiting to serve in the Marine Corpse?
Are they good waiters?)
As the midterms approach,your left screen will feel neglected,as the President will favor script to his right.The centrist kind.
This is a traditional election ploy as expected as is the usual question asked as to whether one was better off than before,or after,the election.
Bet that question gets all the ink that Edward's mistress-e's pregnancy did,as it reflects poorly upon,ahem,Democratocracy.
Most have noticed by now,the PRESS CORPSE,doesn't notice that sort of thing.
It is an embarrassment to their party,
the Won's one.
Gee I hate to interrupt guys ,but someone alert the media,AP,and all the MSM that we areReplyDelete
As noted above Obama has read mostly LEFT
screen Teleprompter printout lately,in that
Jeckel and Hyde twin and evil altertwwin
configuration of his .
And yet when he writes here he writes right.
Could that left screen,(parts Manchurian),
be an AP plant?
When reading left is TP an AP_LIE_ANCE Machine?Or just as he claims simply inanimate?
Inquiring minds at the National Enquirer want to know.The MSM Press Corpse already does.
Will Obama apologize to the world for all the Olympic medals we're winning? Sounds an awful lot like 'Colonialism' of precious metals to me by our 'evil' country.ReplyDelete
Hi, Preptile.ReplyDelete
LOL, Chris, D'oh!bama, World Champion Bower, [having only watched one of the awards ceremonies] thinks the Winter Olympics is just the Preliminaries for the Ultimate Bowing event next summer. [He's never watched much TV -- when your brain's been fried from cocaine, TV just irritates you.]
Giggly: So, Mister O, you been watching the Winter Olympics?
D'oh!: Naaa. Are you kidding? No one can out-bow The One [pulls from under his collar his Golden Chain Award he got for bowing to King Saud] -- I bow when it COUNTS. I'll watch the REAL Olympics, next summer. That crap up in Canada, "I'm not sure how you say this in [Canadian]," is just a bunch of "typical white person[s]" acting "stupidly".
Gig: [smirk, fingers fluttering] Still mad about not bringing home the Olympic bacon to Chicago, eh?
D'oh!: [GLARE -- chin JUT] I didn't sit in REVrund Wright's church for TWENTY YEARS for nuthin'! I know that "Winter Olympics" is just "white people with blue eyes" ["my man" Lula of Brazil, 2008] and JEEEWWWWZZZ bossin' us half-black folkssss around. I'll be at the SUMMER Olympics where "white will do what's right AS IN GET OUT OF THE WAY SUCKAH and the brown will stay around" (or somethin' like that) [speaker at Fraud's inauguration 1/09].
Oh, I had put that enlightened piece of literary prose out of my mind, TWW, and you drug it back!!!ReplyDelete
"brown stick aroun...yella is mella...better red than dead"
(Did I get that last one wrong...?)
LOL, Susan, your bodacious quotationning reminded me of a bumper sticker we posted in our garage in 2004, "Flush the 2 Johns."ReplyDelete
You got that last one right, given that you are (sort of, heh, heh) quoting a lib-tool.
As for you and me, "BETTER DEAD THAN RED."
How's that head cold or whatever was troubling you? I hope that you are feeling much better.
Say, speaking of putting horrible things out of our minds........ was that who I think it is who just ran past the window?!!!! Naaaa. He's miles away...... isn't he? He wouldn't traipse clear down to Georgia, not in this weather..... not....... NAKED!!!!! Bwah, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Say, since the TOTUS Cafe is pretty much empty.... the above reminds me of a funny-scary time I had up on a local mountain. A time when using logic backfired. A girlfriend and I back packed up to spend the night on Mount ____. On our way up, we passed three rowdy semi-creepy guys heading down. The sun had already set as we arrived at our camp "site" and we hurried to set up our tent and start a little campfire. We chatted and laughed happily as we sat by our fire eating dinner until........... . We heard something. Something or..... aaaack!... someOne was creeping through the underbrush, twigs breaking underfoot... .
Me: Oh, well [hearty chuckle], it's probably just a deer. If it's a bear or something, our fire will scare it away.
Friend: [anxiously peering into the blackness surrounding us] Yeah, ha, ha.
Me: There's no way it's those creepy guys we passed on our way up. They wouldn't bother coming clear all the way back up here. Naa, no one would hike 2 hours up that trail just to attack us -- [felt happy for 15 seconds] -- except A MANIAC!!!!
We didn't sleep well that night.
Don't worry, Susan, Fwank's safely ensconced in his little shack up in Maine. His slobber can't reach you from there. Almost, but you are a good 500 feet beyond his record flying spittle.
Wouldn't hurt, though, to go make sure that front door is locked. And pull the blinds.
Well, that's enough of THAT, huh?
Gas expands to fill the space available. Shrug.
Got this off GRETAWIRE.Guess we can change the words to his mantra now...ReplyDelete
Yes, he can, mmm mmm mmm
Maybe, he can mmm mmm mmm
No, he hasn't, mmm mmm mmm
Maybe, he could have, mmm mmm mmm
didn't figure he would, mmm mmm mmm
No, he can't, mmm mmm mmm
TWW-(or Tea and P calls you) What's with the camping story! That was scarey! (Johnnie I'm on the 1st step.) I could hear the snapping twigs and rustling leaves as the creeps crept closer!ReplyDelete
Oh, ha ha! Fwank is in Maine with his bff and his bff's weed! Ha ha ha. When I laugh I cough....
Baaaaaaaad bad cough...husband's so bad he had chest xray...but doc said "no problem"! That was good news. Tonite I will see if wine helps. Nothing else does.
How long's the cough been going on, Susan? Possibly whooping cough (pertussis)? My daughter (then I) had that a few years ago -- and I wouldn't even wish that on BHO. It's awful!! and if one has been taking antibiotics before being tested for w.c., it will show a false negative. And we'd both had immunizations for pertussis some time before -- guess too long before.ReplyDelete
Just asking -- daughter's doctor treated her for all sorts of things before sending her elsewhere, without even thinking of whooping cough.
Thanks for sticking around, all you faithful FOTS -- All so kind -- and humorous!
Thanks Aero! It'd been 2-3 weeks for me, almost 6 weeks for husband...Did the Google,as W would say, on whooping cough...have no fever, cough not as intense as a whooping crane, Candada goose, or dog with kennel cough (which if you've heard is really like the Cananda goose!) so will have another dose of Mucinex or wine.ReplyDelete
Speaking of Canadians, watching USA v Canada hockey... USA not good enough to win, but you gotta hope as score is USA up 3-2 at the end of 2nd! Holy Cow, Mabel!
Well, USA WAS good enough to win! A heart-stopping 5-3 victory over the 'better' Canadians. In truth, Canada was better. You build great teams from the goalie out, and Miller bested Brodeur last night. That empty-net goal was best one in the history of EVER.ReplyDelete
Chris- You said it all! Miller, altho he plays for an NHL team I do not care for, was super! That last flury of shots Canada took made me dizzy and I want to re-watch as it was nerve racking hockey! Great game, great game!ReplyDelete
HURRAH FOR THE USA! Glad you guys posted about the U.S. v. Canada match, otherwise, I would have never known.ReplyDelete
Glad you were entertained, Susan and Aero -- those kinds of experiences are fun to laugh about...... afterward. :D
Sunflower, neat and TRUE concise summary of "Little Zero's" year of pretending to be POTUS.
Re: calling me "Tea," I don't know why Mr. P. calls me that. It kind of bugs me, but whatever. Shrug. I prefer TWW or TruthWillWin or something along those lines.
GET WELL SOON, Susan and Mr. Susan!
We don't know what to say either, robbie-Lucy! So jump in!ReplyDelete
{TWW-thanks for the health wishes. And as for the appellation- I took it as a 'term of endearment' and thought it sweet!}

Product Details
Toyota Avalon Base / Limited 2012, Polycotton Rear Seat Protector by Canine Covers®. Custom Canine Rear Seat Protectors provide the ultimate balance between vehicle protection and comfort for your fur babies. Traveling with the pups is great, but even a short trip can cover your interior in tears, stains, and fur. The beauty of Custom Rear Seat Protectors is they are padded so that your dogs are more comfortable while there is an extra thick layer between your dogs and your vehicle seats.
- Do not install Canine Covers if any straps interfere with side impact airbag deployment.
- Attaches to headrests and seat base
- Non-skid bottom prevents sliding around
- Grippy surface keeps pets secure
- Prevents abrasions and punctures
- Resists stains and odors
- Seat Belt openings to allow two-legged occupants to belt up
- Seat Belt openings also allow use of canine travel restraint
- Padded layer provides extra comfort for your pet
- Made in the USA
Why let mud, water, dirt and dog hair damage your interior? Give your pet a comfortable, safe ride in the back seat of your car while keeping the upholstery clean and in factory-new shape. Securely held in place by straps around the headrests, ingenious pillow pods that tuck in between the seat back and base, your Custom Rear Seat Protector will not slide around on the seat, thanks to a non-skid layer on the bottom where it rests on the seat base. Choose from one of several fabrics in an array of colors and patterns to complement your vehicle's interior. The fabric of your Custom Rear Seat Protector by Canine Covers is breathable for your pet's comfort. This is a well-made heavy-duty product that should last a long time in daily service, even if your dog is large or boisterous.
Choose from several fabric styles and colors. The top layer of fabric is engineered to resist tearing from sharp claws. Under this layer is a layer of waterproof nylon to Prevents stains from penetrating and to make cleanup simple and easy. Under the nylon is a layer of resilient padding for your pet's comfort, and to protect your car's upholstery from those sharp claws. The final, bottom layer is non-slip fabric, to keep the seat protector firmly in place regardless of how your pet moves around. In addition, you can simply machine wash it, although you may need a commercial machine because of its large bulk.
Seatbelts are accommodated by tailored holes in the cover, so the occasional 2-legged passenger can sit safely in the back without removing the Seat Protector. In addition, because the belts are readily accessible, a pet travel restraint, like the Ruff Rider is easy to attach, for your pets safety as well. An unrestrained passenger or pet is not only in danger for himself or herself, either of being ejected from the vehicle, or bouncing around the interior. This also endangers the other occupants of the car in the case of an accident. The Custom Seat Protector is also designed to work in concert with the Canine Covers® CoverAll Seat Protector, which attaches to the lower hem with hook-and-loop tape. The tape is already attached to both, and will turn your back seat into a warm, safe cocoon for your pet while you travel, regardless of whether the ride is just across town or across the country. Give your pet a comfortable, safe ride in the back seat of your car while keeping the upholstery clean and in factory-new shape. There's even a seam between the seats to let you and your pet access the front seat.
Canine Covers® is a daughter company of car cover and seat cover industry giant Covercraft®; they've been in the car cover business since 1965. The company grew from a two-man production team to a 400+ employee company with 3 manufacturing locations.

Adolescent Family Life Act (1981)
The 1981 Adolescent Family Life Act, or AFLA, is a US federal law that provides federal funding to public and nonprofit private organizations to counsel adolescents to abstain from sex until marriage. AFLA was included under the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1981, which the US Congress signed into law that same year. Through the AFLA, the US Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, funded a variety of sex education programs for adolescents to address the social and economic ramifications associated with pregnancy and childbirth among unmarried adolescents.
