"Why hello, birthday!"

Our favorite fashionista icon, Brenda Dickson, turned the big 6-0 today. Remember her?

I was just thinking that it had been a while since I had last visited the home of our ostrich-feathered,red-leathered 80s soap diva. And I really couldn't let this opportunity pass by without posting this once more:



Deven Green has created a few more "Welcome To My Home" parodies since the first one that had over 2 million hits, but the original above still takes the cake. The most recent video came out a couple months ago and you can view it along with the rest, including another goodie, "Welcome To My Face Off", at Green's YouTube channel.

Nikki and Ryan, am I right in my recollection that about 75 percent of our conversations at Slayage had something to do with either Buffy or Brenda?

I'll take partial credit for introducing the latter to the great city of Toronto. :)

"Why hello, amorous, congruous stick! You know what's good in my mouth? This carrot. Never met a carrot I didn't like. Except for this one!..."

Let's Teleport Into My Closet

This one goes out to my fair Canadian friends, Nik & Sue and to whoever else in Canada or elsewhere has not been introduced to these incredible YouTube gems. It has come to my attention that there are those who have not experienced the woman that is here presented. For some of you, she needs little or no introduction.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Brenda Dickson. "Welcome to My Home."



Now, here is a parody of Part 2 of the same video:



The newest parody features Brenda Dickson vs. Donna Mills in a Fashion Face Off. Hoot!



There are several more videos of Dickson herself and further parodies; these are the best ones in my opinion, but the rest will provide you with more than a few minutes of entertainment.

I referenced Dickson at the conference this weekend and Sue immediately knew her from "The Young & The Restless" or "Y and R" as the unabashed fan in Sue puts it. This probably marks the first time I have come across someone that became aware of Brenda Dickson via her original television character, Jill Foster Abbott. Oh, and apparently there was more than one Jill along the way...
