It's Britt Ekland (sp?) who was a Bond Girl and Rod Stewart..from the 70s or around there

Seriously, it always amazes me when folks pull out this kind of "trivia". You DID know this ... right? And not googled it? As I did look at the URL address to see if any clues wer in it as to who these folks were.

Castoff (Tina) has graciously volunteered to cohost the Mickey Ice Cream Bar Speed Eating Challenge with me. Somebody please refer a good attorney and psychiatrist for her. Ohhh.... I'm just kidding.

Soooo.... Tina was gracious enough to contribute come pricey collectible artwork as prizes for the winning Ice Cream Speedsters. I'm still doing the Award certificates signed by the ships Captain and maybe a character from the ship if I can fool them into doing it again. And.... YOUR FAMILY is responsible for snapping the priceless photos of YOU chomping away in the RACE!

Now I really wish my 24dd was going with us!! She would soo win this contest! LOL!

[captaincrash]

You all look so happy in all of these photos You must be doing something right
Darren and I met and started dating in 1985. He was a freshman and I was a senior at U of R. (caught a lot of grief from my friends for cradle robbing )
I gotta get a scanner so I can post some of our old photos.

Ohhh Gooodie! Soon I'll have more ORIGINAL photos to hack and manipulate!

Just kidding - of course....​

 

[Stepht5]

I am telling Katherine!!!!

She can eat a Dove bar (the large ones) faster then any thing you can imagine! LOL! All of our kids (except Michael) LOVE Ice cream & Ice cream snacks. Like their daddy.

We went out to dinner with all the kids tonight. We had a GREAT time lots of laughing and story telling. And wishing there was a way for Michael & Katherine to go with us in August...... Maybe next year!

Jon & Katherine are hoping that Seth has so much fun with us at WDW that he'll consider going on a DCL cruise with us next year.

Desiree...., Desiree...., Desiree....

What ARE we going to do with you? You WERE supposd to say something like... "Oh yeah, back in the 60s my cousin was the photographer who shot this - and I (you) was an assisstant on the photo shoot. And it was at a benefit for the endangered Green nosed pelican in Savannah Georgia".... or at least something similarly outrageous!

At any rate... thats' interesting, just the same. Check out some of the info I dredged up on Miss Britt: She was MARRIED to Peter Sellers and SLIM JIM PHANTOM for a bit.... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001180/bio

Date of Birth
6 October 1942, Stockholm, Sweden


Birth Name
Britt-Marie Eklund


Height
5' 5" (1.65 m)


Mini Biography
Britt Ekland was born in Sweden and grew up to be the poster girl for beautiful, big-eyed Scandinavian blondes. She attended a drama school and then joined a traveling theater group. With her looks as her passport, Britt entered films and became a star in Italy. When Peter Sellers met her in a hotel, he fell hard for her and they soon married. The combination of Sellers' stardom and her stunning beauty contributed to her fame (the fact that Sellers suffered a heart attack in bed on their wedding night didn't hurt, either). She appeared in two films with her husband: Caccia alla volpe (1966) (aka "After the Fox"), written by Neil Simon, and the forgettable The Bobo (1967). Her claim to fame would come as the young girl who invented the striptease in The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968). After that, she appeared in a string of movies that were built around her looks and not much else. She did appear in some first-rate productions over the years, though, two of them being Get Carter (1971) and the cult classic The Wicker Man (1973). The high point in her career would be her role as Bond babe Mary Goodnight in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). After her much publicized breakup with rocker Rod Stewart in 1977, Britt continued to make movies--both features and made-for-TV films--and tried the stage. By that time, the quality of her film projects had decreased markedly, and she was reduced to appearing in things like Fraternity Vacation (1985) and Beverly Hills Vamp (1989).

Has anyone tried these laundry soap sheets? I thought they might be a good idea:

I got the dropps one's too... Haven't used them yet though... I was thinking about bringing a couple of my sample sized Tides in case i don't like the smell.

I told you..it was just old fashion Catholic guilt (looking around for the ruler that's about to slap the back of my hand)

My DD could use one of the ruler beatin nuns right now... DOH

From what I've read, it seems that we can cancel any reservations for excursions that we make online. Is that right? Does anyone know when we have to cancel by to avoid being charged? Is it before we get on the ship?

Don't know if it's changed but we were able to cancel excursions even onboards as long as we weren't within something like 48 hours maybe..

We had an issue with teen thing at CC but dd did go at the last minute.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i sooo wanted the Nic Cage one.... i love Mickey Bars but my current innards aren't good past 1 or 2 now...

And even then i can't eat speed anything or i get kinda ill...

Now I really wish my 24dd was going with us!! She would soo win this contest!

Not if my DD was coming with us... (but she's not sadly... or maybe it's not really sadly at the moment)

Guys - FYI - we picked up our pins today and in speaking with the lady - she informed me that they will be changing the pins for the EB. This way they can get more money out of us. I'm assuming that they will keep the jumbo pins the same as this one has the same dates. This makes no sense to me - cna it bee that she's stretching it a bit?

Anyway, just thought you all would like to know. Also, I have pictures of PC merchandise but lets see if I can download them. Drats - got to get off - Steve was online and used up over 200 minutes. Be back later.

Is it not great having scouts out on our sailing? Thanks Laura for the updates and info!

I gotta go tend to my kids now... I may return later tonite when everyone is likely to be asleep.... except the late nite shift.

 

[captaincrash]

Wow! how old do you think I am Sorry..migraine tonight and not feeling very creative with my snappy comebacks..i'll work on those before the cruise

Correction then...

....you shot the pictures with your cousin in the 90s ....

OK... I gotta go get my kids in the tub and settled now... I'm trying to shift them into an earlier schedule now... Alicia's been away 2 nites now and I'm in charge here!

​

 

[captaincrash]

We are down the hall from you!!

Congrats on your 3000th posting to the community!

[danfromca]

$1415 saved..
That's the difference between today's category 12 price (one just came up), and the category 11 GTY we booked day 1.

Not bad...

 

[captaincrash]

Now I really wish my 24dd was going with us!! She would soo win this contest! LOL!

I'm afraid you're the designated subsitute to represent the honor of your clan in this matter then. I'll go ahead and sign you up... OK?
