Great show today, the panties commentary was one of your best monologues ever. By the way, is the "I Was Wrong" segment here to stay?
Where is Patrick? Should I just abandon all hope of laughing at his and Jim Murphy's dialogue ever again? I think we should report his disappearance to the police. Jim Murphy should do that.
P.S. Panties is not a bad word.

"I'm ready to be proposed to!"

Where is Patrick??? He's definitely missed his cue. He's either:

a. Dead
b. In Jail
c. In a hospital in traction and in a coma

I'd be willing to lay a paper trail be emailing him, Brigitte, just to see if he's okay. If your blog moderator can see clear to giving me his email, I'll send a shout.

Oops... that should be "BY emailing him" not "BE emailing him".

Tired! (This is why it would be good to give your commenting fans editing functionality with their own comments!)

I can totally see Brigitte's cute little black panties hanging from my guitar....but wait I'm not supposed to request that unless Brig wants to admit she's wrong and throw em' thats groovy.... BTW we had to put Patrick in the Commenter Protection Program because he knew too much about Brigitte and it was becoming hazardous to his health. It has now become a matter of national security. (story at 11) Also has anyone else heard of punkin' chunkin'??

Hey Brigitte,
When the strike is over, can we turn Penrod into a "How many days has Partick been missing" pumpkin? Since he is doing such a great job as "Strike" Pumpkin.

I like the new lighting. It has a warm feeling and makes your skin look great too!

I think the lighting has always been the same. Unless Brigitte is weird like me and prefer white light to incandescent bulbs. But really, she just adjusted the white balance filter during post-editing. You can see it shift from warm to cool and back again through each rough cut.

I prefer she keep the white balance cool, as the warm setting hides her piercing blue eyes that Bruce and I are so fond of.

As for DWTS, although I'm happy Helio won, I too, thought Mel B should've won. She's just more consistently better.

In regards to that Chucky's Bride inspired monstrosity, I prefer to forget all of that.

How does Sean J. know that Brig's pant-- I mean, underwear is black? How? How?? You must teach me...

Re: the lighting -- I'm not that fancy. :) I was just sitting by a window and clouds were passing by. I realized after I put it all together there really was quite a difference between clips, but it was too late to do much about it! ha.

I would go with Brigitte on the whole spontaneous panty/underwear throwing thing. Except, well... Let’s be honest here for a moment. You get up early, take a shower put on a fresh pair of underwear, then you take a long drive to the concert, wait in line for them to let you in, then go into a packed theatre were the temperature gradually rises because of all the heat generated from everyone there. You're listening to the music, maybe even dancing, using the public facilities. Then after several hours you decide to throw up what would now be your sweat soaked undies at a guy. I'm not a germ-a-phobe, but. If it were me, I would like a heads up.

Ok today Brigitte's eyes don't look as blue.

On the issue of throwing and catching underwear: I think that for Blake to announce he's ready for it to happen makes him sound needy. Women should just want to do it and feel free to act on those impulses. I'm sure that would lead to all sorts of unexpected fun.

On the Sister Hazel dvd A Life In The Day, there is a scene from a concert where the lead singer is singing and a thong lands right on his microphone. I was reminded of that, thought I'ld share.

Oh, I see. I.. I guess you're not that great and brilliant, then, huh, Brigitte?

*Watches her pedestal crumble a bit.*

First it was Santa... Then the Tooth Fairy.., Then Brigitte... Is there nothing I can have faith I anymore?

Anyway, if you wish to avoid your camera shifting the white balance, try using a white light lamp behind the cameras and point it up on the ceiling as if it was cursing. The reflected and defused light off the ceiling makes for a great ambient light source but without the harsh shadows in the background.

You can also achieve the same effect by placing the camera in front of a window and facing away from it. You've done that before and if you'll notice, it is during those lighting settings that your eyes show its best.

So, yeah, I'm ready for you to show us your beautiful, soul piercing blue eyes. Yep. I'm ready. Uh-huh. Ready, freddy.

They're so gorgeous, makes you just wanna pluck 'em and eat 'em.

I mean... Ready!

Good post, very hard hitting and insightful.
I just wanted to clarify that when I posted my comment yesterday I was referring to Blake Lewis and not rock stars in general. I think we owe it to all rock starts to recognize the fact that Blake Lewis really hasn’t earned the right to be included in their midst.

That is where I think the “Blake Lewis loop hole” lies. Sure, you’re right, it would be kind of weird if say…Bono…suddenly announced he wanted to catch your (or other people’s) panties. But Blake Lewis already IS weird so really this is just him getting some much deserved mileage out of his predicament.

I mean really, if you’re going to be that weird you might as well ask people to throw their panties at you otherwise what’s the f#$&ing point?

It’s like the 67 year old woman who always wanted to get married but no one ever asked so now she lives alone with 20 cats. At some point I think it’s acceptable for her to go to random men on the street and ask them to propose to her. Yes it’s weird and probably won’t work (I doubt Blake Lewis will actually be seeing any panties), but she’s lived 67 years as the weird cat lady and she’s earned the right to be a weird freak on this. That’s the way I see it.

Also, I think the distinction between panties and underwear is a big one and shouldn’t be glossed over. I don’t even think female rock singers want a big ol’ pair of boxers headed their way. So I’m almost certain it never fell into Mr. Lewis’ plans (though he is weird so I’m not completely certain)

These underwear comments are freaking me out. I mean who gets the impulse to do something like that. Maybe its just me but throwing my underwear would require allot of effort, not to mention being publicly indecent (isnt that illegal?) besides I would think bras are allot more sontaneous (and far less gross) and all the concerts i've been to that what they were throwing, and without the band requesting it, although they did tell them to continue throwing them...

Quintessential Brigitte Dale! Do I really have the right to say that about today’s show? Has being a dedicated viewer for the last 2 months allowed me to fully absorb the essence of BD? And who’s Patrick?

During the first 3-4 months of Cupid’s spell, it’s easy to impress. I’ve got all those wonderful levels of endorphins, oxytocin, and vasopressin and “think-pink” chemicals floating around in my digital blood stream. Clouding my judgment… Making me blurt out things like:

“Brigitte, you unerringly create good taste. Today’s bangs and burgundy combo should make Gwen Stefani shake in her boots!”

BTW, great monologue… I know. I know. It will matter more when I say it in month #5 and some the clarity of reason begins to set back in...

Back to my plain white tea kick...

Just clouds passing by...
Not post-production editing, no changing lightbulbs every 15 seconds....
Her beauty is in her simplicity...
and yes, panty throwing should be spontaneous....

Speaking of panties/underwear ... recall that for Christmas we demand to see you in a whipped cream bikini. That would be hot.
