Much Ado About Miscellany

2013-04-09T15:35:00.000-04:00

Spring is in the air and is it true? A whole bunch of old goats are sowing wild oats. Wow those little blue pills must be something, huh? Do they make Viagra for gals? I ask because there are some Cougariffic women prowling about. Grrrrrrrowwwwlll. I am surprised they can make it around the bar without their walkers.... And when it comes to cougars the favorites are always the ones who

RIP High Priestess of Preppy Prints: Lilly Pulitzer Has Died

2013-04-08T09:34:00.000-04:00

I am a devotee of Vintage Lilly. There is nothing like it. I often have a hard time with modern Lilly in part because of who is wearing it - they think it makes them belong and be civilized, but it does not. The quality of the fabric is also not what it used to be, and if I am going to fork over the money, the better value is a Vintage Lilly. Unless you are purchasing Vintage Lilly from

All That and a Bag of Chips? Really?

2013-04-08T09:02:00.000-04:00

Well I wondered why it is so hard for nice divorced women I know to date...and now I know why. They are all reading dither like The Divorced Dating Experiment. Wow, it reads like the angry woman's guide to life just add blow torch. Judging from where the author begins in 2010 I would say it is safe to say she is a Philadelphian of some sort, maybe a Main Line ex factor (there are a lot of

Busy, Busy Carpenter Bees....

2013-04-06T18:55:00.000-04:00

Oh go the hell back to Jersey. Why is it the Carpenter's Union is always protesting something on the Main Line every time someone farts? Unions have their place, and it isn't that people don't appreciate them, but are they entitled to every piece of work everywhere? What happened to the free market system of things? Why is it that the Carpenters Union think every single thing means

Modern Racism

2013-03-19T19:52:00.000-04:00

Philadelphia Magazine's Robert Huber isn't the first one to tackle race issues in Philadelphia. Lord people, doesn't anyone read anymore? Are your brains shrink wrapped? Seriously check out a book called Philadelphia Divided Race and Politics in the City of Brotherly Love by James Wolfinger. Or Up South Civil Rights and Black Power in Philadelphia by Matthew J. Countryman

Has Bill Spingler Lost His Mind? Or Does He Just Assume We Have?

2013-02-26T12:03:00.000-05:00

I sputtered my coffee all over my new granite counter top this morning when I saw this article: Radnor commissioner announces plans to run for treasurer Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 By Ryan Richards rrichards@mainlinemedianews.com William Spingler, a longtime Radnor commissioner and former county councilman, announced on Monday he will run for township treasurer in the

Gives New Meaning to "She Looks Like She Just Stepped off The Pole"

2013-02-07T18:12:00.002-05:00

Now we all know some "Main Line" gals act no better than hookers and their outfits look like they stepped off the pole and I don't mean anything to do with couture. However, that being said if you want, you can now legitimize the inner stripper in you...sorry but when I read the line : "All three Main Line ladies are pole dancers." .....do you really expect me not to snark about it? (

talk about needing kitty litter

2013-02-01T13:20:00.002-05:00

I bet you thought I was going to talk about the hoi polloi from the Academy Ball? Why bother? Lots of poseurs dressed as hookers and women way past the age of showing ANYTHING going strapless. Much more amusing today is eHarmony Cat Lady. Yes, every online dater has some soft shoe for standing out in the thundering herd, but this one is the bad single woman with cat cliché come to life. I

Some Hope for The Willows...and Hopefully Bidding a Final Adieu to Bashore

2013-01-30T16:39:00.001-05:00

There may be hope for the Willows as Radnor Commissioners told Cas Holloway among others "NO". We should all be thrilled that they said no to Cas in particular as his plan called for a Toll Brothers-fication of the Willows property. Radnor Township needs a partner in the Willows, Radnor Township doesn't need anymore new McHorrors built. Radnor Board: No Houses, Hotel at the Willows A

Happy New Year

2013-01-05T09:11:00.002-05:00

Happy New Year from justsnarky. Justsnarky finds the Main Line as dull as dirt these days. Yes still full of political and other assorted scumbags, loads of fakes and phonies, but also chock full of predictableness. As in no sense of civic accountability. So that being said, it is time for your annual reminder that I write about whatever I want, whenever I want. There is no set schedule or

File Under "Christmas Cheer"

2012-12-20T08:30:00.001-05:00

Yes....the hits they keep on coming. I am sorry, it sounds un-Christian, but I can't stand drunks. I also think there are few things more distasteful than a drunk woman. But here is one that tops the charts: A drunk woman, drunk on the job. And this woman is a teacher at Conestoga High School. Well Conestoga keep on being classy with a K. Obviously, this woman needs help. Here's hoping

Yep, Nothing Like Christmas Spirit, Goodwill Towards Men....

2012-12-20T08:15:00.001-05:00

Radnor Township might want to be different, but some days it's just Delco tawdry. What was that meeting this fall when it was mentioned that Radnor might look at othert counties to belong to and leave Delaware County? Do we ever think it can escape the tacky tawdry of Delco? The mired in smelly without smellavision politics? Well someone e-mailed me and article yesterday that I am just

Tales of Sex Tapes and Tasers: Full Moon in Radnor

2012-11-15T19:58:00.000-05:00

It is a full moon of craziness right in good old Radnor Township. First we had the tale of the geriatric kidnapping mastermind from Florida on the loose in Radnor with a taser, now teen porn tapes on smartphones out of Radnor High School? Gad Zooks people, can't you just get ready for Thanksgiving without drama? I wonder if they are saying behind closed doors "we didn't have that

Oh Darlings, Lookee! Muffy Has a New Read!

2012-10-23T09:36:00.001-04:00

Well her name really isn't Muffy, that just sounds better. It's Gladys or Mildred or something. You know her home - looks lovely but you can't sit anywhere. All for show. Just like her kitchen. She has her meals delivered. She would have her family delivered on occasion if she could. She has all the "right" magazines artfully scattered about - Town & Country, Architectural Digest, WWD,

Fabulous Faux Fall on The Main Line

2012-10-19T14:24:00.000-04:00

Ha ! File under what goes around, comes around, karma she is a bitch indeed. Michael Pouls of getting the beloved Baldwin teacher fired a few years ago fame seems to be in a spot of trouble and could land in the pokey. I touched on Michael and his bride Sheryl in the summer of 2008 when they bought off Baldwin School with a giant pledge and got a teacher fired. Remember the saga of the

Let Them Eat Cake!

2012-10-12T12:01:00.001-04:00

Why my darlings, the Main Line just cracks me up! We are full on into gala gag season and Vanna, these dolls need to buy a clue. The economy contnues to slip slide away and as we are being bombarded by election season and the request for donations, we are being bombarded with invitations to non-profit fundraisers whose ticket prices are for the birds. You want people to subscribe to events

So Tredyffrin, How is That Selective 1st Amendment Thing Working Out?

2012-09-25T13:26:00.000-04:00

Other blogs have covered this, but I have to say that when I thought Radnor was bad under Dave Bashore and some of those neurotic former commissioners who shall remain nameless, I should have compared it to Tredyffrin. Tredyffrin is quite possibly the worst of all.... I have been watching and reading and watching. Now my mouth flies open and to be brief I think the entire Board of

All American Perverts

2012-09-25T12:09:00.002-04:00

What IS it with jobs like scouting that we keep hearing about PERVERTS? Don't they screen these people? Yes, yes indeedy, a man named Gerrett Conover who used to play scout master in Radnor, has been charged with child pornography. I bet there are a lot of mamas who had boys who were in the scouting program circa 1999 to 2001in Radnor are asking their sons a lot of tough questions (or should

Legally Blonde in Tredyffrin

2012-08-27T13:13:00.000-04:00

Goodness gracious! Girls that can't hold their liquor always seem to make the news, don't they? So there is this article on Main Line Media News' website about a perky blonde cheerleader type who sits on the Zoning Hearing Board in Tredyffrin who got off a public drunkeness after already having had (as per the article) a DUI? And how did she get off the charges? Really as in Super

Irony

2012-08-24T17:10:00.001-04:00

I hope the irony of Diner En Blanc in Philadelphia was not lost on people, oui? Not trying to sound awful, but let's be honest, wearing white in Philadelphia in the summer is always a dirty proposition. Face it, sometimes the City of Murderly Love is naught but Filthadelphia. Dirty, smelly, crime ridden. This was a cool kind of pop up restaurant but you brought your own food kind of thing.

I Don't Bleed Blue, Do You?

2012-08-14T13:51:00.001-04:00

Let's talk Penn State for a while, o.k.? I realize loving Penn State is like a fine tradition in Pennsylvania, but sorry, I don't subscribe. I am tired of all the Happy Valley Horseshit since the sex scandal broke. What did Joe Paterno know or not know? He went to his superiors who deep sixed the issue for years, and then as an old man who was an icon dying of lung cancer, he became the

Garrett Reid...dead

2012-08-05T16:08:00.000-04:00

The news broke today about one of Any Reid's kids being found dead up at Lehigh. Garrett. The one who did a wee stretch in Graterford. Not trying to speak ill of the dead, but that kid had issues. Maybe now he is at peace. What I don't get is how these God fearing Mormans have so many kid issues? What a waste of a young life. Was his death due to his past extracurricular

When Being an Ordinary Witch Just Won't Do

2012-07-31T20:07:00.002-04:00

Sometimes you just have to seriously giggle. I have been blogging up here, for how long? Well apparently I have ruffled the feathers of one of the infamous plastic people of the Main Line, the blogger/desperate housewife from suburbabble. I touched upon her but once, and it was a while ago when she and her gal pals boozed it up for an evening of wine, vibrator, and Fifty Shades of Gray. Oy

The Good Thing is She Loves The Sound of Her Own Voice

2012-07-29T19:18:00.000-04:00

Greetings from a lovely veranda in Cape May! I love being close to the ocean and being able to have super fun dining experiences in a town known for Victorian Splendor. And no, you won't catch anyone I know parking an RV in Wildwood - that is the issue next door, but we don't do Childwood any more than Atlantic City where the boardwalk is dirty and so are the hookers. But anyway...........

Obnoxious Is as Main Line Does

2012-07-19T11:50:00.000-04:00

Hello my sweaty darlings! At least today is not as sweltering. Can't wait to go away again and leave the madness of the Main Line behind. I have been getting little anonymous comments left that I have chosen not to publish. Ironically a lot have been blasting me for not putting a post up about Villanova University's proposed development. Why should I bother? The meetings have been
