Maggie Griffin - Tip It


How fucking funny is the cover of Maggie Griffin's book "Tip It"? Maggie's comedienne Kathy Griffin's motther, Kathy who you should know by now as I have mentioned her A LOT is the star of her own reality show "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List". It is a long-time running joke that her mother is the real star of the show and Kathy is a side-kick on her own show. Also, Kathy constantly makes fun of her mum while doing stand-up and on her show, accusing her of being an alcoholic on account of her alleged 'boxed wine addiction'. And by alleged... made-up by Kathy, but Maggie is filmed a humorous amount of times drinking on the show which makes for a good laugh!

This is why the book cover is so funny, cause there's Kathy covered by the glass of vino, a nod to the Maggie-being-the-real-star-of-the-show joke, the fact that on the cover she is on a box of wine which is like her trademark.

I have to get my hands on a copy of this book, Maggie, like Kathy, is too funny for me to deal with - and I'm 99% sure it's all her own natural old-lady charm! The dear old woman is 90 after all, if anyone sees a good deal for this, please point me in the right direction!

Sunday (Except without 'Sun')

Well it's Sunday, which although a lovely weekend and nowhere as bad as Monday, is still a pretty boring day by my, and I assume the world's, standards. Well I'm actually annoyed at myself right now for two reasons, one being that I had an awful dream last night (and a familiar person was in another, AGAIN) and the second is I have fallen for god damn Lady GaGa! Damn her for being so unique, having amazing music and being a truly brilliant individual in respect. So now I am no different from anyone else because the world loves her, although not everyone seems to recognise the thought and skill behind her 'wacky' outfits. Stupid fashion magazines slagging her off, it's like... "Does she look like she's trying to be stereotypically 'fashionable'? Because, she's not." Not that I can talk about fashion with my $50 jeans and $20 hoodie jackets. I'm so cheap. But so would you if your parents were stingy with money and you had to pay for your own clothes working with minimum wage pay. And only working one day a week considering I'm a student. It's a hard life!

By the way, I'm going to start adding more pictures into my posts because... I need to, and it looks better when my posts show up on YouSayToo.com, a site I have my blog signed up to and being the attention-seeker I am (not, but people think I am so might as well roll with it, as Kourtney Kardashian once said  "If you can't roll, roll out.") by getting more views.

What I have to actually report on? Not a lot, I'm always distraughtly tired after a day of work (aka. yesterday) and have another day tomorrow so this is my re-coup day which, believe me, I deserve. I will probably go and catch up some friends, and maybe someone else... But who knows. And to be quite frank, who gives a fuck.

I laughed when I was reading NW Magazine and they had a "Celebrity Confessions" section, and one was from Kathy Griffin saying "I'm afraid of Oprah Winfrey." I laugh every time she mentions Oprah, Ryan Seacrest or Gayle King (aka. "Oprah's boyfriend", haha! Can't be bothered linking them.).

Edit: I removed all links because they didn't show up on YouSayToo.com which, if you haven't guessed yet, I'm sucking up to, to get some readers.
