JIFFY BOOB!

Today, in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Miss Vero brings y'all the tale of a Miss B. Haviors Tata's and the shameful way that the help is treated by clueless elitists. We present this story at the risk of never being allowed to be in the Royal presence of the du Roselands again!

No matter, we're sure, in our very "Red" county, that they'll just "import" their help, as do the principles of Windsor and the exclusives at the Red Stick club. Of course there is always a risk of importing a TB scare, like that one time, but oh well! It's sooo much better than creating minimum wage jobs for the locals who would probably embarrass us or expose our secrets....

Oh, sorry y'all, Miss Vero digresses, 'nother story, 'nother day, where were we?


Ah yes, the tale of Miss B. Havior's Tatas...

"It’s my favorite time of the year, ya’ll. Not only do we getta’dress up like heathens n’ ho’s on Halloween, it is National TaTa Awareness Month! Ya’ll should know, that I’ve always thought my TaTa’s had special powers. All I had ta’ do was point ‘em in the right direction and stand up straight and POW! Men became mesmerized and women cowered. These TaTa’s got some heavy mojo and I’d like to keep ‘em.

Regretfully, the du Roselands don’t provide me with health insurance. I know ya’ll are thinkin’ I should just point these majestic TaTa’s at the du Roseland’s and make them do my bidding.. But hunnies (as Miss Vero would say) that pair are as blind as bats, reeking of gin.

But I just gotta’ have one of those “Mammy-grams,” so I made me some phone calls. Not being a shy and retiring southern belle, I also asked for an appointment and a discount, ‘cause it’s TaTa awareness month! This is what I found out…..

Indian River Medical Center - doesn’t “do” um.

Sebastian River Medical Center - does ‘em, but no one seems to know if there is a discount (or either the regular cash price). I’ll let ya’ll know if I get a return call from ‘em.

Indian River Radiology- doesn’t “do” um.

Vero Radiology Associates – does ‘em. Every year they offer a discount in October. $149.00 (reduced from $210.00)

Sebastian Radiology Associates – does ‘em. They’re the new kids on the block. Their price is $50.00! Jumpin’ Jehosephat! I now know who’s squeezing the TaTa’s tomorrow."






Just called them to verify, yup! $50 bucks or $25 each dependin how y'all look at it!


And a one final thought...






And now to get the flow of testosterone back for all of our manly man Beach House readers, would law enforcement and big trucks do the trick? We thought so hunnies, here's a picture that Miss Vero just had to snap the other day that seems perfect for the occasion. Looks like potential Indian River County Sheriff Mr. Loar, certainly has some friends in high places!

Here's to hoping that Mr. Loar is as good a sport as our previous favorite bubba for Sheriff, Captain Bill McMullen and that he doesn't mind being featured in the company of some Boobies and Tatas!

MWAH!

PRESS JOURNAL POLITICS


Russ Lemmon Searches For His Next Big Story


Today's offering from Mr. Lemmon -

"Wanted:Red Cross Volunteers"

What's that ? Might be a hurricane a comin? DUH! Welcome to Florida. Thank y'all so much for this public service "opinion". Now that the primaries are over, looks like Mr. Lemmon has finished slingin his Bob Evans hash.



Diana Foote searches for a new word in the dictionary to impress us

Today's offering from Miss Foote -


"With a flourish, our waitstaff discreetly informed us of the arrival of the Maine lobsters and I ordered my pound-and-a-half ($26.99) with alacrity. It arrived properly steamed and still steaming, the optimum moment to begin cracking the claws and walking legs, and sucking the tender, ambrosial meat."


Can y'all guess which restaurant she's talkin about? Jack Baker's Lobster Shanty! We'll give y'all a minute to stop laughing before we continue....



AND MISS VERO IS STILL SEARCHING FOR THE NEWS!

Where is the report of Mr. Colman Stewart's press conference?

Mr. Stewart informs us that -

"A total of 6 candidates, in 3 different races, were missing from the ballot in the recently certified primary election."

This is serious news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Miss Vero the only person in this county concerned with this issue? Kids, we sent our posse in and here's what what we know -

There was a dismal turnout of our "elected" officials to hear Mr. Stewart speak. Joe Flescher (not running for office this year) was the only County Commissioner that stayed throughout the press conference, although he seemed to be "visitin" with folks more than payin attention.

Wesley Davis showed up late, talked on his cell phone outside and then stayed for about all of three minutes. Somebody ought a tell that bubba that large horizontal striped shirts are not a good fashion choice for him. Oh. Never mind we just did.

Miss Bea Gardner and Miss Cathy Hart listened attentively. A representative from Captain Bill McMullen's office was also payin attention, while Duurrrrll Loar was spotted outside parkin his Jeep, but no where near the press conference.

And the PJ? Y'all think that maybe they'd be on hand to cover a story about a candidate they endorse? Nope.

Will there be any follow up? Dunno.

Must self medicate heavily today, martinis intravenously we think.

MWAH!

A PERSONAL TROPICAL DEPRESSION

WELCOME TO INDIAN RIVER COUNTY,
WHERE NOTHIN EVER CHANGES AND WE LIKE IT THAT WAY!


There's a few things that Miss Vero's gin soaked brain just doesn't quite understand...

Like, how does a candidate with what seems like a gazillion very vocal supporters on every street corner waving signs come in dead last? (Kent Campbell with only 16% of the vote)

And, how can we ever take anyone serious named Duuurrrl? Oh never mind, he's got a gun.

And, what ever happened to that huge group of people that were gonna chase ole Gary Wheeler outa town?

Ya'll reckon they just took it out on Miss Sandra Bowden instead?

And will the run off between Miss Claudia Jimenez and Charlie Wilson be like a local production of "Inherit the Wind"? (and how do we get tickets?)

And finally who in the H.E. double toothpicks voted for Stan Mayfield? If there was ever a corruption, er, election that reeked of good ole boy politics, it was this one.

Should we be a conspiracy theorist? How do all of the PJ picks manage to get elected? Ahh, the most read newspaper on the treasure coast, and the only newspaper on the treasure coast.
Move over Russ, looks like we'll have the humble pie today.



A Sincere Thank You...
... is in order, for the wonderful and kind words from Captain Bill McMullen, who sent Miss Vero a very personal e mail expressing his thanks for what little support we gave him.

And now, to cure our election depression, we must drink many cocktails and go shopping, although not in that order.

MWAH!

A GUY WALKS INTO A BAR...








So, we're sitting in a bar on a Monday night, enjoying a libation and a spring roll (we were upstairs at the Szechuan Palace),when we look out the window and see Ed Glaser and Wesley Davis yuckin it up on the corner of 43rd and state road 60. We can't even begin to imagine what went on in that conversation, but apparently there was no need to hold up signs and wave to voters.

A short time later Mr. Glaser himself, comes into the Szechuan Palace hideaway to enjoy his own libation and spring roll. What are the odds kids? Now y'all know Miss Vero just had to strike up a little conversation, so we asked Mr. Glaser - if he wasn't in the race, who would he like to see win and y'all know what? He said he wouldn't say cause he 's the best qualified and he's gonna win and then he invited us to his victory party tonight at the Atlantic Grill. So there. (pssst, don't tell Mr. Glaser, but we still like our bubba, Captain Bill McMullen).
http://www.votemcmullen.org/



We got home from our little outing just in time to see Senator Kennedy give his speech at the Democratic convention. It was nice to be reminded that there's another party out there, somewhere. Just not mentioned much around these parts.



We hear that bob Evans has two new menu items especially for Mr. Lemmon tomorrow - humble pie and crow.



Planning on a little outing again tonight, wonder who we'll run into next?




MWAH!

WHAT HAPPENS IN VERO WHEN WE STAY IN VERO

OK, now any of y'all that have been a fan of Miss Vero know that we usually high tail it outa here any chance we get, but this weekend we decided to staycation in our own little town. Lots o'stuff was a happenin kids (y'all would never know it from readin the PJ) but yes, there were places to go and people to annoy!

First things first, New Channel 5 and their staff are the absolute best! Miss Vero loves, loves, loves them! They were super sweet, competent, professional and did a top notch job on covering all things Vero. The Channel 5 News was broadcast live from the Driftwood Inn Friday evening with a small but enthusiastic crowd. We spotted the Vero Chickys doing their chicky thing and snaging a promo with Channel 5. They have the best pics and videos for y'all to see. Check out the Vero Chickys!:
http://www.myspace.com/theverochickys

Not to mention that when one of our correspondents asked for an autograph for Miss Vero, Chandra Bill gasped "Miss Vero??!! We love Miss Vero! we read her blog!" Of course it helped kids, that Miss Vero sent them a welcome to Vero note before they arrived, which is only good manners.

Speaking of good manners, where was the Press Journal???!!!
As polite as the staff and crew were, every question concerning the where abouts of the Press Journal was met with downcast eyes and "I dunnos". One member of the production crew told us "It's like having a relationship with a step-sibling, even though we're family, sometimes we don't talk to each other" and he made us promise not to print his picture or tell his name, so we won't. Very strange indeed, considering that the PJ and WPTV are both owned by Scripps and are partnered with TCPalm.

Miss Vero thought that this kind of media hoopla would bring out a few local politicians. Now, we did spot a few people that had already served in office or had run for office (Don't quibble, vote for Bibble - and if y'all get that reference, check yourself off for being here way too long). But the only current running man in sight was our favorite, handsome Bill McMullen, and hunnies he is still as sweet as ever. Points to Bill for showing up!

After all the hub bub and heat, Miss Vero's posse made our way cross the bridge to the Epicenter of Cool - Undertow! We had the pleasure of being served by the Cutest Boy in Vero and Miss Kitty took a moment to tell us about Undertow website updates and the local Barack Obama campaign group meeting there on Saturday.

So y'all know we showed up. Miss Kitty said she only expected about forty people, but children that place was packed. We're talking standin room only and a lot of folks in Indian River County are excited about Mr. Obama. It was truly a news worthy event, so again we have to ask - where was the Press Journal??!!

We had saved up enough energy to keep going on Sunday, when we attended the fabulous soiree at the Count and Countess du Roseland's beach front estate. We are so happy when the Royal couple is in town because of the spectacular parties they host. And yes, we returned the silver spoons.


We did have to skedaddle early however, because the lush-ious boys at the Long Branch put us on the guest list for the male review Sunday night and well, Miss Vero doesn't like to disappoint.


Oh, my. If we tell y'all that it was hot, that would be an extreme understatement. DJ Silvio and his crew put on an ultra fabulous show and if y'all missed it, well.. let's just say everyone was havin so much fun that we probably shouldn't post any of the pictures. If y'all are lookin for a party the Long Branch is the only game in town. They have one more party coming up on August 3rd and kids if y'all have any life left in ya, get yourself there! http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&Band_Show_ID=34775770&friendid=381676972

Miss Vero is now officially exhausted!

But doing it all for y'all...

MWAH!

P.S. A big shout out to the most wonderful Lee Dee who should not blame his headache this morning on Miss Vero!

THE FOURTH OF CLEVER - SEBASTIAN, FL

This was a big day in Sebastian...

where a patriotic flyover started the morning...


and patriotic floats set the mood...


to remember those that fight for freedom...


and continue to believe...


that we can pursue our dreams...

with liberty and justice for all...

that we should be kind...


and preserve the past while nurturing the future...

HEY,WAIT A MINUTE !

ISN'T THIS MISS VERO'S BEACH HOUSE?!

LET'S TRY THOSE CAPTIONS AGAIN...



Ok kids, what in the heck is going on with Jeffery Barton's pants?


And since David Snell always comes in last,

we thought we might feature him first for a change...


and Ed Glaser was freakishly not perspiring...


and there seems to be a write in candidate for Sheriff...


Kent Campbell's crew took up half the parade,
but had some really cool recycled floats...


Anthony Consalo was better looking than his picture...


Deryl Loar tried to look like his car...






But Bill McMullen is still a sweetie pie.


Cool cars...


but Gene Billero was even cooler...


The Sebastian River High School marching band...


always makes for a great parade...




Wesley Davis, once again, wins the wet dress shirt contest...



just as sure as a Shriner has a little car...





and don't mess with this guy...


if you're a skeeter...


An old polished beauty...


and Sandra Bowden.



Cute chiropractor Dr. Matt...

and his big daddy Gary Parris...



Babies gettin ready to be kissed...



by Carole Jean Jordan...


but since she's running for two offices,
she might as well get two pictures...


and besides, she brought her own bass playin brother
to rock us through the morning...



There was Honey...




and Bea...

Kay Clem lookin surprised...


Colman Stewart, rightly lookin suspicious of us...



and Cathy Hart just lookin good...


Bob Solari ran too far ahead of his group...



and Gary Wheeler was wisely put in the passenger seat,
because the one time they put him in the back, the car popped a wheelie...



Wesley finally found a way to cool off...



and the message is "Heritage, Not Hate"
Besides these ole Confederate folks are just plain cute...
(and hopefully harmless)

and we were luvin us some Dixieland in the park...



and happy to see young people doing good work...

and fixin to get some good food...


while everybody had a great time.

But when we went lookin for our ole pal Russ, he was no where to be found...


Miss Vero sure hoped y'all had a good time perusin the pictures,
Happy 4th!

MWAH!
