"...the day you stopped appreciating the sublimely silly things in life was the day you became a dried up old turd."
This book is driving me nuts (basically, it completely sucks), but this quote is stuck in my head. Can you believe I am lauding the exceptionally silly Ms Bushnell herself? I am confused too.- Candace Bushnell, Lipstick Jungle
I love the concept of "sublimely silly", which I am choosing to identify as something so laughably OTT that it reaches a sort of apotheosis. To further define, I present a list of things that are, in my esteemed opinion, sublimely silly:
♥ Jilly Cooper books, Valley of the Dolls, Nancy Mitford's entire oeuvre. Agatha Christie's wonderfully awesome Hercule Poirot books. He always gets his man no matter how far fetched. Love.
♥ Foods cooked inside other foods - brownies inside cookies, pies inside cakes, turducken. Carpet-bag steak. Angels on horseback. All these things are good and exceptionally ridiculous.
♥ Early morning conversations with your lover. Example: conversation regarding the likelihood of Michael Moore coming to your house and wanting to come in, and not being able to because the door is locked; the original subject being "why we shouldn't lock the front door at night".
♥ Camp A Low Hum.
♥ Dancing in the kitchen to "Single Ladies", the Letters to Cleo cover of "I Want You to Want Me", "Non, je ne regrette rien" or the soundtrack to Cabaret.
♥ The Tudors. Vis:
AND here is the always Sublimely Silly Kate Beaton's take on the whole shamozzle:
♥ New series: Sherlock. With that dude from The League of Gentlemen as Mycroft! Tumeke, e hoa, tumeke.
Ok lovelies: more suggestions for Sublimely Silly?
