Holiday Confusion

March 17, 2009 by WendyB

You know how calendars have all the important holidays printed in them? Well, my 2009 calendar is defective because today it says “St. Patrick’s Day” when it is really St. Coco’s Day. Yes, people. My idol, Coco, came into the world 30 years ago today. I resent that you just thought, “Only thirty?!” You better remember that Coco is as fresh as the morning dew on a rose petal and she always will be. Bow down before her greatness.

Thanks to Dlisted for finding the most elegant Coco photo of all time.
Thanks to gorgeous blogger Oh Lady E for pointing it out.

    Um… OK.

    By the way, I was browsing your gorgeous website (strangely addictive) and I spied your STUNNING Marie Antoinette ring. I may sound like an forced cliche, but OMIGOD, I die!!! Wow!

    Wow, she’s definitely a model who would go all out for a fantastic photo!

    Thanks for your comment! And I agree with you on the Bob Dylan bit! Hayden Christensen is a good actor; but he’s not doing himself; or Dylan a favor in Factory Girl!

    Well, I’m sure as hell not celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, so I accept this new holiday as my own.

    Happy St. Coco day everyone!

    Holy moly she’s such a 30 year old treat/stunner – agh!! you need to get Macdonalds to think up a drink for St Cocos day instead of a shamrock shake – maybe a Coco Moonieshake

    So, I wore green today… but I guess I should have worn a prosthetic butt and a blonde wig? 😉

    Happy St. Coco’s Day!

  11. SOS! says

    March 17, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    That’s hot. I’m not sure if she’s as hot as Paddy though hehe.
    Happy holidays!

    Since i don’t have a drop of the Irish in me (in any way, ever!)and the whole “kiss me I’m irish” bullshit annoys the hell out of me…I’m perfectly content to start celebrating St. Coco Day.

  13. Iheartfashion says

    March 17, 2009 at 3:00 pm

    Wow. I’m speechless.

    She gives whole new meaning to “taking the stairs”.

    please warn me before something like this pops up on my screen…i was not prepared for this!!

  16. KD says

    March 17, 2009 at 3:43 pm

    So I guess instead of wearing green I should have worn, erm, red? Either way, Happy St. Coco’s Day!

    Honestly, few things shock me – but this woman is one of them.

  18. KT says

    March 17, 2009 at 4:34 pm

    That looks just like a photo someone took of me. OK, that might be a lie.

  19. Suze says

    Coco is 30? Wow, well I can’t wait for my 21st birthday to come around then 🙂

  20. *Diane* says

    March 17, 2009 at 5:21 pm

    March 18, 2009 at 11:40 am

    How should one celebrate St. Coco’s Day? By getting spanked?

    Cool, that sounds like my kind of holiday!

  29. Grant Miller says

    March 18, 2009 at 11:58 am
