These dolls, about the size of a barbie doll, were made way back in 1991 when Ice Ice Baby was all the rage, along with Vanilla's eyebrows and hairdo with designs and patterns shaved into them. The Iceman goes with us on all sorts of excursions. Last time I checked, he had been to Jamaica, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Paris and Hawaii. He's been to Burning Man about seven times, and is frequently seen lounging by the Yuba River in Northern California. Last year at Burning Man, he hooked up with Posh Spice, and the two of them have been getting dirty and nasty in places around the globe. We have a picture of them kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower - tres romantique!<BR/><BR/>The Vanilla Ice of today is not fond of the Vanilla Ice of yesterday. When I first moved to Austin, I found out that Vanilla was going to be playing, and showed up to get my coveted photo of Ice with Ice. I went and chatted up the full-size Ice, told him what I needed and asked if I could take his picture. He absolutely refused, saying that part of his life was over, he was ashamed of it and didn't want to be reminded of it. I can understand that, but I thought it was quite mean of him not to indulge me in my little fantasy. He should be flattered that we care so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-41563240858142387612007-11-29T10:10:00.000-08:002007-11-29T10:10:00.000-08:00But, in the interest of being fair to Robin Willia...But, in the interest of being fair to Robin Williams, he once had a sprightly, brief chat with my ex-husband and shook hands with him in a very friendly manner.the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-49266576032498902032007-11-29T10:09:00.000-08:002007-11-29T10:09:00.000-08:00ps.

Oh, the pathetic admission! I did because I've emailed her a few times before (once we exchanged emails a few times when I explained how fur could be donated to wildlife rehab) and I know she collects "news", as in "orange is the new black." I didn't expect her to use all mine; I thought she'd just throw them in with other people's.<BR/><BR/>Currently she's collecting people's stories of brush-offs from celebrities, so if the readers have any, they should share!

He won a small amount of money and gave it to his young nephews. The theme that year was "Aliens" and we didn't just enter in the kid's section. In fact, I believe we just entered one piece of 'art' in the kid's category. <BR/><BR/>Naturally, we didn't have children and didn't know that it might 'hurt' them in some way. If it were me today, I would have just stuck to the adult category but I have the hindsight now that I didn't then. Thanks SJ!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on getting into Leah's column, she's wonderful. She was recently informed of the prank, ten years after print date. She was a good sport though took it to heart a bit I'm afraid.<BR/><BR/>As for how she might be tuned into your blog, my future ex-husband is her colleague at the Chronicle and he reads your blog.

My ex-husband was disgusted by it at the time, thinking of the poor children. Back then, I thought it was funny, but now as a grown-up, I'd be really pissed if adult hipsters entered kids' art contests. It's not fair, and I see now how incredibly seriously children take their art and what wonderful stuff they make.
