A hint: It's not Patrick Swayze


Guess who this young man calls dad.

Ajumma's Car Wash Mix

Grab your denim cut-offs, soap and hose because it's car wash time! Here are my favorite jams for scrubbing my car:

Don’t Lose My Number by Phil Collins
Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard
Love Song by Tesla


More than a Feeling by Boston
Home Alone by R. Kelly
Jump by Van Halen



 Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield
Anyway You Want It by Journey
Down on the Corner by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Men on leather sofas

Sean Patrick Flanery (who starred as young Indiana Jones in the 1992-1993 television series) may not be the most famous actor from the 1990s, but he was one of the most handsome.

Evan Peters!  Evan took horror fans and Emo girls on one hell of a coaster ride as psychotic Tate on last season of FX's American Horror Story.

To me Clive Owen will always be the steady handed, speak little but drive a mean stick hired gun from the 2001-2002 BMW short film series.  And he can even rock pleated pants.

Ajumma hearts Brooke Shields' home

Things that make me giddy about Brooke Shields' renovated Greenwich Village townhome:

  • Its dark grey walls (who would have thought it?)  
  • Its playful punches of colors
  • Its classic furniture mixed with modern art pieces (like pop art by Keith Haring and a portrait by Malcolm Liepke)
  • The light that pours into every room
  • It's personalized but not to the point where you want to barf

You can see more photos of Brooke's renovated residence at Architectural Digest (March 2012).
