Ocean 98 Talent Show
Posted by Good Clean Fun Life | Friday, January 27, 2012
Last night was an amazing spectacle of talent at the Ocean 98 Talent Show held last night at Seacrets in the Morley Hall. Lots of good acts came out to show their stuff. Namely the show openers A Cappella / Doo Wop group Smooth Teaze. Even non contestants could "perform" of sorts at the Delmarvalous Photobooth. All but two were musical talents (in this town beer chugging could be its own show) and it was only musical acts that moved on the the...READ POST.
Single at the Shore: An Eternal Girlfriend
Posted by Shorebread | Friday, January 27, 2012
Every other week on Shorebread one of our “single ladies” will give you a firsthand account of their trials and tribulations navigating the shore’s single scene. We’re in favor of the romantic notion of letter writing--you remember, in the olden days before emails and Facebook, when people handwrote letters and waited weeks for a response. With that in mind, each writer will be signing off under the same penname—Single at the Shore. They are writing to...READ POST.

What Does Your Wedding Bouquet Say About You? Secret Meanings and Fashion Forward Trends
Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, January 26, 2012
The bridal bouquet, statement accessory of the ceremony—it is clutched possessively in the bride’s hands as she makes her way towards her beloved. It often hides shaking hands, guides the way down the aisle, and is a topic of conversation post-ceremony. For modern brides, the bouquet is mostly a thing of beauty, differing greatly from the practical, fanciful, and meaningful purposes it once held. In the spirit of “everything old is new again,” consider using some of the...READ POST.

by Tony Russocontributing media professionalAs media professionals, my co-host Todd DeHart and I are kind of expected to have a working knowledge of a little bit of everything. In deference to that expectation we pretend that we do, even to ourselves.In order to get grip on the flow of the conversation you’ll have to tune in to the Todcast — instructions are available in the closing paragraph — but from NASCAR we moved to a rather informed discussion about the inevitable demise of...READ POST.

Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, January 26, 2012
New seasons are all about change. This is usually about the time of year that I start feeling like my wardrobe needs a little reinvention. Likewise, I begin thinking that as a person, I need a little reinvention too.
Luckily there are so many amazing finds out there this season, but it would be impossible to adapt to all of them, so it really is about finding what works for you. I started putting together a list of things that I just can’t live without this season, along with some of...READ POST.
The High Road in Lower Class Ep 8
Posted by Good Clean Fun Life | Wednesday, January 25, 2012
Bill Todd is back, however Big Al Reno was not. Big Al was no doubt taking lines on the big game or something like that, which was a shame cause there was plenty of sports to talk about. No worries though, I sat in with BT and we were joined by Ryan and Brandon, also of Lower Class Citizens. So by the end left us all wondering "Where is T-bone?" the remaining member of the group.We discussed the Ravens game, answered some questions that Bill had solicited through...READ POST.
