What's the most embarrassing thing ...

As I confessed in my Tuesday column, I'm a clumsy hooker.

But I'm also nosy, as I want to hear about YOUR most embarrassing ...

Is it really vandalism when it's a sticker with the words "nipple clamps"?

Aside from enjoying humorous ones spied on others' automobiles, I'm not a fan of bumper stickers.

I blame my father, ...

Where is the oddest place you've ever taken cover during bad weather?

Being a big "Dynasty" fan, I was sad to hear about Nolan Miller's death on Thursday.

Miller, who was 79, was responsible for the glamorous, shoulder-padded gowns Krystal and Alexis wore. He also designed the dress in which Ginger was shipwrecked on "Gilligan's Island," as well as the cobwebby dress Morticia donned on "The Addams Family," according to an article in the New York Times.

The article also said that Miller, who won an Emmy for his work on "Dynasty," was given a weekly wardrobe budget of $35,000. He designed about 3,000 outfits for the drama, which ran from 1981 to 1989.

So, next time you're having a "Dynasty" DVD marathon weekend (you know who you are -- invite me over), be sure to toast Mr. Miller -- and, of course, do a shot for every catfight.

Peace, love and shoulder pads ... XOXO
