Taylor and Isabella

The poster finally arrived, and it seems to be a big success. Taylor Swift and Belly Bone. Who'd-a thunk it?

Well, Plotnik would. He listened to a bunch of Taylor Swift songs over the holiday and he has to admit several things:

They're catchy.

They're not insipid.

If anything, they're way too old for her. But they're not trying to talk down to her either.

So Isabella is done with princesses and fairy tales and she now loves songs that have to have a clean version to accompany the dirty version. But even the clean versions have lines like "You PMS like a girl..." Can a 6 year old understand what that means? Does it matter?


Look at her with that poster. The late-arriving Christmas present knocked one out of the park.

We're home. (Sigh) Nice.

(EDITOR'S CORRECTION: THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SONG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TAYLOR SWIFT. IT IS BY KATY PERRY. WE MOST HEARTFELTLY SAY, YOU KNOW, THE STUFF PEOPLE PRETEND TO MEAN WHEN THEY ARE APOLOGIZING FOR SOMETHING THEY DON'T CARE ALL THAT MUCH ABOUT, BUT HEY, THEY SCREWED UP AND THEN GOT CAUGHT, SO, YOU KNOW. ***** )
