Carrot Top

My wife knows Carrot Top pretty well because he comes into her store to buy up all the clearance toys and he uses them as stage props. She says he is a great guy and easy to talk to.

I will put in a mention for Celine Dion as my local favorite. I guess it was about 2000 or 2001 I designed her kitchen and spent the better part of 2 weeks installing it in her Lake Las Vegas home. I did not meet her but did meet Renee and an older women I think was her mom. I have to add that she has bad taste in cabinetry. Very ugly taste. She has since torn my kitchen out 2 years ago and had it redone in a very rare imported African cocobolo wood.

I also liked another celebrity that I got to know very well. Some might not want to call him a celebrity but he is since he was on our news every morning in the G-string trial. Lance Malone in his heyday hired me to design some very intricate peices of furniture in his home in Shadow Hills. I got to know him, Rosemary and the kids pretty well. I like the guy. I dont care what he did cause it is nothing different then the other politicos do except he got caught. And he was brazen about it.

Sorry but being from the Hippy times I do not agree with cutting hair on either gender. Shaving ones skull is not very attractive.

beauty is in the eye etc. etc.

and regardless of opinions as to attractive or not, i can say from a maintenance perspective that a shaved head is the way to go (i had hair down to my belt during undergrad and my head is shaved now, so i can give an informed perspective here). esp. if you are an active outdoor-type. granted, genetics predisposed me to my current look, but all things considered, this is more my style (about once a week i take a clippers to the whole head & face...shave it down in 5 min and i'm good to go).
