It's cookie time...
Last night, the Cabinet held an official VMA viewing party at Truvy's house. At some point, one or more of us will talk about the evening's high points (Shakira's new honey-hued hair, Li'l Kim's coming out party, Missy Elliott getting BOPPED over the head by one of her peon dancers holding an umbrella before she proceeded to be pulled around the stage in Sean Preston's toy Escalade...). Until then, I wanted to share a very scary/hilarious thing that happened last night.
At some point, someone brought up Shelley Long and we all started BLOWING OUT. I guess you kind of had to be there to think it was funny but seriously, it was hilarious. We all instantly paired off and started having these weird frantic conversations/trivia games with each other (i.e. "what was better, Money Pit or Hello Again?" "what did she recently OD on again?" or "quick - name all of the tween actresses in Troop Beverly Hills!"). What is it about Shelley Long that made us fag out like that?
And while I'm on the subject... Troop Beverly Hills is one of the greatest movies of all times. Don't even talk about it.

I think I might have an answer that holds some weight here: Shelley Long was a total jump back in the '80s when we were little woodpeckahs. Growing up, all of us were probably a little beyond our surroundings, a little over our childhood circumstances as we dreamed of a rich, glamorous life somewhere far, far from home. (Hello! Robin Leach's voice is like the soundtrack to my childhood!)
Anyhow, Shelley always played characters who personified that sort of behavior. Her peeps were snotty, snooty, held a class bias, and basically ignored the little people as she flittered through life. The Cabinet salutes that sort of behavior, and therefore, we salute you, Shelley Long!

Troop Beverly Hills is the best movie ever! I have "taped off tv" from my childhood.
