Indiana Jones Gets Waxed
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is out today. Reviews have been mixed, although I hardly think that will deter moviegoers. (Even if the latest installment of the series doesn’t live up to the previous three, you know it’s still going to be a good time.) Seeing the actor who plays the screen hero have his chest hair ripped out might deter you from scheduling a waxing appointment, though.
In order to educate the public about global warming and deforestation, Harrison Ford agreed to have his chest waxed. “Every bit of rain forest that gets ripped out over there, really hurts us over here” is what he said. Click HERE to watch the video. Ouch!

Hey Carly, two words - poodle perm!
In the early 80’s the very curly perm was sooo in and I endured the hours of sitting with tightly rolled hair and the stink of the perm solution because I thought it was such a great look. Of course, many times my hair went totally frizzy and it was not such a great look.
My age of majority card (remember those?) that I got the first week of college shows me with the vintage almost wet look curls from the perm at the time. Man, does it look strange now looking back!
Carly’s Note: I have really straight hair, so my mom attempted to give me a home perm when I was in kindergarden. I still remember how terribly it smelled and how tired I was because she kept me up way past my bedtime. In the end, it never even took.

Hmmmm, that’s odd. I watched the latest InDianaJones on video last night.
Carly’s Note: Excellent whip skills, I’m sure!

Ok Carly, let’s get to the real ROOT of it…nothing says “past it” action hero like grey chest hairs. Hey it’s natural, but he’s not far from borrowing Dirty Harry’s walking thing, what’s that called again Jeff? Oh yeah, a walker
Have a good weekend!
Lee Ann
Carly’s Note: Maybe that’s why he wanted it waxed? For me, it’s not the chest hair, it’s the earring he now sports. He didn’t wear one when he was younger, so why now? Keith Richards can pull it off, Harrison, sadly, can’t.

Hi Carly,
Many years the company i was working for was involved in a charity stationary bike-a-thon.
After we each spent 20 minutes on the bike going as far as we could there was a dance competiton.
My teammates pushed me on to the stage where we had to wear grass skirts and wigs and try to have the best hula dance.
There are photos of me somewhere in this crazy outfit but it was for a kids charity so we were glad to do it.
Have a great weekend.
Carly’s Note: Painful humiliation for a good cause.
You’re a regular Harrison Ford, Dave!
