Red Lipped Mamas

A blog from two mamas trying to stay cool and hip
Funny chicks ROCK. (And damn, Martha Plimpton looked hot!) jackiesface: sussybuckets: When I saw this hilarious and wonderful bit last night, I said “I bet this was Amy Poehler’s idea.” And the LA Times blog confirms that it was. I fucking love that she thought of this and got everyone else on board. The media is constantly trying to sell us on the idea that WOMEN HATE EACH OTHER. We are jealous of how pretty other women are, we want what other women have, we are all like two seconds away from tearing each other’s weaves out at ALL TIMES because we are competitive and hateful and crazy. And while that is true 100% of the time for real housewives of major metropolitan areas, my own experience tells me it’s really not the case for regular, non-reality-star ladies. And so anyway, rather than squawking on her tumblebloggerpage about unfair characterization by the media for the last 1000 years, Amy actually did something to SHOW that women can have fun with each other and cooperate and risk looking silly together and be happy for each other when one of them wins something. I love that she walks the walk, that she shows instead of tells. She is a HERO (to borrow an Alison phrase) and an inspiration and it makes me proud to be affiliated with the UCB.  HERE, HERE

Ignoring my daughter

Sometimes I feel guilty reading a magazine or Twitter while Harper plays nearby. But it’s during those moments that I hear the most hilarious things come out of her mouth. Maybe it’s just self-serving but I think that by ignoring her, I’m encouraging her imagination…and keeping up with pop culture, reading Entertainment Weekly. Win-win.
