I think Laurie Berkner is hot - so sue me!

[Taverner]

She's a "kindie" artist, that is an artist who focuses on kids music. Her videos are all over Disney and Noggin, and she reminds me of my ex gf from college, Lisa.

1. definitely cute

"hot" might be a stretch. she is very appealing though. :)

2. OK well cute...

But I gotta thing for 30-something soccer moms...

3. No, I gotta go with hot...

...I burned some Laurie Berkner DVDs for my nieces. She's definately better looking on the DVDs than in those pictures. She also has a very nice figure. I think I enjoy her little leg kicks during "We are the Dinosaurs" more than my nieces do.

4. at one point I developed a fondness for the original Steve

of Blue's CLues. That was a little scary, as cool as he seemed to be. (when he left the show he said that he had no desire to be the next "Krusty the clown."

I suspect this all has to do with how much kidproduct we are seeing! Since my son is now obsessed with football players, I no longer have kidvid crushes. :D

5. I was hoping someone else

would admit to that. :hi:

6. he just had such an open manner

I suspect it was being at home with kiddo for too many hours per day!

:hi:

did you folks get over to the Arts Festival? It was pretty nice - there were a lot of great bands, and not so much rain!

8. Unfortunately not

The weather was surprisingly nice, though. :hi:

7. My wife has the same thing

I figure it's not his looks (I mean, come on!)

But that he throws in his own quirky humor in his show. I've actually laughed aloud at a few quips he's made on Blues Clues...

9. well he has that great smart geeky guy look

and, I think he was in an downtown type NYC band as well. So there you go. :D
