Oh Romeo, Romeo, Where the Heck Art Thou?

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Stephie Smith

Check out my post “Oh Romeo, Romeo, Where the Heck Art Thou?” on Women on the Verge of Hysterical Laughter, the blog I co-host with Gwen Ellery. We know Shakespeare was a master storyteller and some say he was a master of psychology too. But when it comes to Romeo and Juliet, I say he just had one heck of an imagination. Sure, young love (or lust, as is usually the case at that age) … Continue reading →

Dreaming of George Clooney

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Stephie Smith

Last night George Clooney came to me in my dreams. Well, he didn’t come to me. He was just there. Sleeping. On the couch. In his underwear. WHAT? you must be thinking. You dream about George Clooney but he’s asleep on the couch wearing clothes? Yes, that’s right. He’s sound asleep (doesn’t even know I’m there), wearing a t-shirt and boxers.
