Because nothing says “clean tushie” like aqua chenille… Yes, your baby is very cute. You have dressed him/her in a very adorable/fun onesie/twosie with matching hat/shoes. You splurged/saved by buying this adorable/fun outfit at Baby Chanel/Costco, and I think that’s stupid/cool. I’m so glad you and your husband/baby daddy/sperm donor…
Brian Harkin Corporal Phillip Leal, 23, did a tour in Iraq and works as a recruiter in Farmers Branch and Carrollton. The cover story of this week’s Dallas Observer focuses on the military’s recruiting of Hispanics, who are the fastest-growing military-aged group of people in the country and, according to…
Wade Phillips, kneeling, with a proud papa named Bum. Speaking of, wonder what Bill Parcells is gonna do now. I have the new Dallas Cowboys head coach’s cell phone number. He knows Terrell Owens’ name. And when he strode into the main meeting room at Valley Ranch for Thursday’s press…
Last week we outed Celso Martinez. Now, as evidenced by Channel 11’s report and a DMN piece, he’s become quite the media sensation — like Carrot Top. Really, we’d be done with Celso Martinez by now were it not for his recurring issues with the truth. On Tuesday, four days…
So, like, Anna Nicole Smith just died. That’s weird. I know there’s a Dallas connection that merits this mention. Now, where is it? Where is it? Oh, here it is. –Robert Wilonsky…
You may remember his kitchen toil at Larry North’s NorthSouth, or maybe PoPoLos. (Lime? Lime? Didn’t he do Lime?) Or perhaps you’ll recall his turn-around menu work at Cuba Libre and Sipango. Whatever you remember him for, it probably isn’t as sales manager for Sysco Foodservices. Anyway, chef Marc Haines…
Barry Annino, president of the Deep Ellum Foundation and a longtime player in the neighborhood, just posted a comment to last week’s item concerning Deep Ellum’s impending facelift, in which Annino’s quoted as saying, “Deep Ellum as everyone knew it is over.” But I felt his remarks ought to be…
For the one or two of you interested in reading the desposition of TXU Power president and CEO, Mike Greene, taken yesterday by the Mayor Laura Miller-led Texas Clean Air Cities Coalition, here it is. I’ve read parts of it — Greene says coal-fired plants will save customers money, which…
So, yeah. You know where last week we said the Hard Rock Cafe was still rockin’, at least for the time being? Well, the time’s come and gone. I just got off the phone with Hard Rock Cafe’s New Jersey-based publicist John Gogarty, who does confirm that on March 3,…
It wouldn’t be South by Southwest without a heroic performance from our favorite local soul legend, Bobby Patterson. So, we’ve been trolling the SXSW Music site for the locals that made the cut. Until today we’d only heard tale of Hogpig and The Theater Fire, since, well, there’d been no…
It’s everyone’s dream to be an illegal immigrant, right? Walking for days through the desert with little food or water, watching painful blisters pop up on your heels and burning or freezing your feet since no one told you to wear decent shoes. And the most fun of all –…
Wade Phillips, aka Parcells Light. Right, Richie Whitt? As both of my loyal readers know, I led the campaign to run Bill Parcells’ old, tired ass out of town. So it is with great, um, pleasure(?) that today I join Dallas Cowboys’ fans in welcoming the new head coach: the…
This is the Case Study Home being built at 701 Peavy Road. Better this than a McMansion, but is it 1958 already? We kid. This morning, a good Friend of Unfair Park alerts us to some new homes being built near his White Rock Lake domicile — homes, he asks,…
This is either Newt from Aliens or part of a controversial ad campaign. If you go to The Dallas Morning News’ Web site, you will see something shocking: Wade Phillips is the new coach of the Dallas Cowboys! No, wait. It’s not that. No, among the ads there is one…
Alan MacDiarmid, at left, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2000 from the King of Sweden, Carl Gustaf. The name Alan G. MacDiarmid’s probably unfamiliar to you; it was to me until this morning, when I stumbled across his obituary on the University of Texas at Dallas’ Web site…
Nick Redfern’s a Brit living among us, penning tales of little green men and big dead comedians. I will be enjoying me some jury duty this morning at the George Allen. (Guilty! They’re all guilty!) I mention this only to plug my choice of reading material, which I got in…
Someone has gotten a little too enthusiastic with the fog machine tonight. Smoke fills the wide room up to the club’s low ceiling and back toward the concession stand. There, some teenager is probably handing out fog-flavored nachos, the smoke adding an extra kick to that goopy, gummy cheese of…
I am not in a baseball mood. Last day of January. Super Bowl week. A dreary 32 degrees. Gray skies are spitting snowflakes around Arlington’s Ameriquest Field, coffin to one of Major League Baseball’s longtime cadavers. Cold day, meet hell. Hell, meet… “Beautiful day!” shouts the revival evangelist dressed in…
Charges of corruption have long haunted the Denton County District Attorney’s Office, so when former prosecutor Paul Johnson decided to run against his old boss last year, he made the most of the allegations. During the campaign, Johnson painted himself as a crusader for social reform who, if elected, would…
A long-awaited ruling from the Court of Criminal Appeals in Oklahoma was released last week, crushing the hopes of Nancy and Charlie Jackson that their daughter Emily Dowdy would receive a new trial. Dowdy was convicted of first-degree manslaughter resulting from a 1999 auto accident that killed Ryan Brewer, the…
Take this job…: Buzz and, as far as we know, Mrs. Buzz, are not running for mayor. That makes two of us. As of Monday, the city secretary’s office listed 20 people who have filed to run. There’s the usual slate of generic white male biz types. We forget their…
Rhymes With Puck Off Whittless: Having just read the column on hockey in Dallas (“Frozen Assets,” February 1), I can only conclude that Richie Whitt’s middle name must be Nit. Eugene Flynn Dallas Richie, you ignorant slut: The problem with the Stars is not the team but the media reporting…
