A conversation between Lala and myself yesterday.
S: I just heard from the Nightline producer. Looks like my segment will run next week.
L: Dude, are you going to watch it?
S: I think I am going to record it and watch it later. You know, so I can pause and bury my head under a pillow every 23 seconds.
L: Good plan.
S: What if the interview is all cut and spliced and I sound like a total idiot?
L: (Deep sigh) Oh, that is totally what happened to Brenda.
S: Brenda? Who is Brenda?
L: (incredulous laughter) Um, BRENDA. Remember when she was interviewed about her friends by some newspaper? And the reporter totally twisted her words and misquoted her? And like, EVERYONE was furious with her? Donna and Kelly WOULDN’T EVEN TALK TO HER.
S: Wait. Are you referring to a Beverly Hills 90210 episode from 15 years ago?
L: Um, YEAH. Don’t you remember?
(Complete silence.)
L: Seriously, HOW COULD YOU NOT REMEMBER?! Whatever. I’m just saying, it could happen.
S: Thanks for the tip.
L: No problem.
In other news, we had an unofficial sisterly Hair Thursday this week. Lala was sick of her long hair and wanted a change, so she went from this:
To this:
Super cute, huh? Donna and Kelly would be BLINDED by jealousy.
does lala know that 90210 is coming BACK?!
(nightline – whee!)
Oh YES. She also informed me that Kelly Taylor will be a teacher/guidance counselor. Holla!
Your sister has herself one great new haircut. And I kind of adore your how family now. (Sealed by the 90210 reference, naturally.)
how = whole in the land of the uncaffeinated
You should totally have a 90210 Hair Thursday! People can submit photos of their 90210 hairstyles and we can vote on which Melrose Place hairstyle they should have instead! Although….those Brenda Walsh bangs are coming back in style…..
P.S. Weird. I totally read Moose’s comment with the word “whole” instead of “how”—I should drink wine and read more often!
You both look alike! In a good way! I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but you both also have quite a resemblance to Kristin Davis from Sex & The City. I think it’s the smile/mouth.
Wow. Just WOW. She looks fantastic!
What the?? We didn’t get to VOTE. That’s just not right, Lala.
You’re lucky it turned out as cute as it did. ; )
Based on this alone, I would like to nominate myself to be your sister’s new best friend.
You and your sister are so adorable. I LOVE her new haircut – very flattering.
Whatever it is that she does to make her hair look like that, I need to do too.
Of course! Brenda…..how could you ever forget?
Your sister’s hair looks great, and the 90210 thing is hilarious. Also, I am so sad that Hair Thursday is booked for the next eleventy seven months because my very very long, don’t know what to do with it, always in a ponytail mama hair really needs some help — but I just found this blog two days ago, so I think I have to get in line behind the entire rest of the female population of the United States. But I still love you anyway.
Lala is HOT.
Best 90210 reference ever!
To be honest the only reason I want to go back to OKC is to see Lala. Shh. Don’t tell the others.
Oh my gosh her hair is super cute! I would cut mine if I could get it to behave like that, but alas it is not meant to be.
Wow, that is a terrific hair cut! VERY cute.
Very sleek and stylish!
(Yay Nightline!)
Your sister has now endeared herself to me for life. What can I say? I’m easy… if you can find a way to insert 90210 randomly into any conversation, there is no question you are a long lost soulmate of mine.
Her hair looks fantastic!
lala your new hair is fantastic, i love it. it makes you look so young and fresh, that is a good length for you!
one more thing, i think lala should bust out a 7th grade photo and realize she hasn’t aged one bit! lucky……………..
Saw Lala last night and the hair looks even better in person. You two have good hair genes. Well, good genes in general, but the hair is rockin’.
Aww…Your sister is gorgeous. Really! What’s up with all these pretty OKC ladies?
Oh, your sister is SO my long-lost 90210 twin. I am freaking thrilled about the spin-off and the return of Kelly Taylor. What could be better???
If your sis looked any more similar to you, you’d be twins! Wow! Cute haircut!!
That is a conversation I could see myself having WITH MY HUSBAND.
Yes, I was a big-time fan myself, but he seriously remembers every detail. Sure, we watch reruns on SoapNet often, but still …
P.S. Lala looks great!
Lala…..super cute! I would have loved to get my hands on that hair of yours again! You do look even more like your sis now!
I love the pauses of slightly annoyed / judgmental silence – you captured the sister language perfectly!! I love lala’s smile :)
Oh yes, Kelly was PISSED about that!
Brenda was such the little attention whore.
I’m sure Nightline appreciates you comparing them to some newspaper from 90210.
So, the cut is AMAZING. Wherever did you get such a fabulous haircut?!?
Oooh, the new cut looks fantastic!
I totally remember what she’s talking about. woot woot!
Lala looks beautiful–she has the beautiful shiny Whoorl hair! I love her 90210 reference…sisters are the best!
I SO love that she worked 90210 into regular conversation. I do that all the time. She looks beautiful, and seriously? What does she put in her hair to make it so shiny and healthy looking????
