Goodbye is the Hardest Word (After “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”)

Filed under: General Musings

Dearest Circus Hour Readers,

New week, new plans…

After a fun-filled time here on Circus Hour, the two of us have decided to pursue a different direction and return to posting on separate blogs:  Gallery of the Absurd (art and satire) and CandyKirby.com (celebrity, news & pop culture commentary/formerly Holy Candy).

For those who enjoyed our satirical collaborations, never fear — we enjoyed them, too, which is why we’re going to continue working together on a weekly(ish) basis.  So be sure to follow GOTA and CK to see what we have in store!  Not only that, but Gallery …

Filed under: General Musings

Zarbod, a “lonely space alien looking for love on Earth” via, of course, YouTube, asked me to do a collaboration with him and I simply couldn’t resist his otherworldly charms…

Introducing My New Boyfriend

Filed under: General Musings

Move over, Clooney — I’ve got myself a new man.

I would like to introduce you to my new boyfriend — or “gentleman friend,” as my Great Aunt Betty would call him — Buster Martin, this awesome 101-year-old man training for the London marathon (writes Candy as she still tries to catch her breath from walking up the stairs). But it’s not his athletic prowess that won me over. Oh, no. It’s his extracurricular activities that made me realize we were soulmates:

“He smokes, drinks, stays out late, which is probably why he is …

Circus Hour Poll:  Blog Language That Makes You Go, “Grrrrr”

Filed under: General Musings

The blogosphere has inspired many wonderful things: NSFW sections… more reasons to avoid work… and, of course, provocative discussion about men who look like old lesbians.

It’s also inspired its own language — for better or for worse. So we’d like to know which phrase makes YOUR skin crawl more than Tara Reid on a barroom floor. Other thoughts and additions are welcome in the forum, as always.

Only In L.A.

Filed under: General Musings

Just snapped this outside of a store during my daily venti iced latte run…

What effective marketing, huh? If a sidewalk ad that looks like it was drawn by my 10-year-old niece doesn’t make you want to get a quickie injection of Botox, I don’t know what will! Although, I must confess, I am intrigued by the “Perky Butt” teaser…

Is it wrong that seeing the “Perky Butt” sign outside of the “Parking in Rear” window made me giggle? Yeah, I know, my 10-year-old niece is more mature than I am.

Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes!

Dearest Holy Rollers,

As a philosopher named Britney Spears once said, “I want to wait to have sex until I’m married” – er, wait… wrong quote. She said, “[I] just wanna go that extra mile for you.” Finally, something on which she and I agree because I, too, wanna go that extra mile for you – which is why I am closing up shop here at Holy Candy and merging with satire artist 14 at Gallery of the Absurd to create a bigger and even BETTER celebrity site called Circus Hour …
