Cutie meets a cutie, or the new kittenSubmitted by kim on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 03:05.Cutie's never been much of a cat person, but when her granddaughters bring their new kitten for a visit, her heart melts. Tune in as Cutie goes "fishing" for kitty, tucks the critter into her top, remembers her Yiddish-speaking pussycat of many years ago, and sings a couple of adorable songs to her little furry friend. It's a cute explosion, and YOU'RE invited! Pop Pop's Song of LoveSubmitted by kim on Thu, 08/26/2010 - 18:01.As a companion to their very popular Cutie's Dance of Love video, the OGs offer this sweet morsel, the musical manifestation of seven decades of love. See Cutie dance at http://www.the-ogs.com/danceoflove
Cutie's Book Nook: The NotebookSubmitted by kim on Wed, 08/18/2010 - 18:01.In a new feature on The OGs' blog, Cutie tells her digital friends how much she's been enjoying Nicholas Sparks' "The Notebook" -- which her grandchildren have been reading to her. She also takes time out to reflect on the one book that made her cry as a little girl, and to fuss over the family's new kitten. Kitten and Cutie: can so much adorableness be on the same screen without causing mass havoc? Tune in and see for yourself. Coming soon: more kitten! M-M-ManischewitzSubmitted by kim on Sat, 08/14/2010 - 02:11.A family joke about how, with all the attention they've been getting, someone might just ask The OGs to appear in an advertisement, led to Cutie spontaneously offering up a testimonial for the sweet Jewish wine that's been a part of her life since she was a young girl. Manischewitz is one of the oldest Jewish brands in America, founded in 1888. In Cutie's non-drinking household, one bottle of their kosher wine can easily last several years--but she really does love it, as you'll see when you click below. Cutie's Cinema Corner: Toy Story 3Submitted by kim on Tue, 08/10/2010 - 01:57.This week's film selection is "Toy Story 3," and while Cutie hasn't seen anything else in the series, that didn't stop her from enjoying the third entry enormously. Tune in to get her thoughts on "Toy Story," with an interlude on the entirely-too-fancy toys Cutie was given when she was a little girl in Egypt. Cutie Meets Her CouncilmanSubmitted by kim on Fri, 08/06/2010 - 05:11.When she's not reviewing films and restaurants, smooching her husband of seven decades or spoiling her grandchildren, Cutie moonlights as a library advocate. And these days, L.A.'s libraries need all the friends they can get, since the Mayor's 2010 budget left the LAPL system so poorly funded, hundreds were fired and Sunday and Monday branch hours eliminated. But one Councilman who voted against these devastating cuts was CD14 representative José Huizar, who happens to represent Cutie's neighborhood of Boyle Heights. On August 5, 2010, the famous blogging grandma and her Councilman sat down with David Kipen -- former head of literature at the National Endowment for the Arts and proprietor of Boyle Heights' newest independent lending library and bookshop, Libros Schmibros -- to talk about their shared passion for books, the importance of libraries for raising healthy kids, and what folks can do to help keep their local libraries alive. Cutie says: "You can tell Mayor Villaraigosa and your local Councilmember that you support LAPL when you visit http://www.savelapl.org!" Cutie's Cinema Corner: InceptionSubmitted by kim on Wed, 08/04/2010 - 02:43.Taking advantage of their Arclight ticket vouchers from the recent, disappointing viewing of the Joan Rivers documentary "A Piece of Work," Cutie and granddaughter Chinta return to Hollywood to take in the latest convoluted action spectacular, the Christopher Nolan-helmed hit "Inception." Tune in to find out what one 93-year-old lady thought of the film, with an intriguing interlude on the happy dreams that make Cutie's nights a pleasure. Funny Ladies and PeasantsSubmitted by kim on Sat, 07/31/2010 - 18:19.In this slice-of-life visit with Cutie she chats about her favorite comediennes, including Lucille Ball and Mrs. Molly Goldberg of old-time-radio and early television fame. But the neighborly habit on Mrs. Goldberg's show of leaning out the tenement window to yell out greetings gets failing marks from Cutie, whose innate good manners as a girl ensured she would simply wave to passing friends, but never holler. Cutie shares some insights into what it means to be born a lady, but suggests that even if you're born a peasant, you can learn to have a lady's manners... before being distracted when her "lover" Pop Pop comes into view. Cutie's Tips for Surviving the Hard TimesSubmitted by kim on Wed, 07/28/2010 - 17:09.When Cutie was a girl, her family pulled together to make it through the Great Depression, and while they weren't well off, they had each other and the essentials, and that was enough for them. Now, as the world goes through another tough time, Cutie shares her advice on how you can keep it together when cash and opportunities are tight, and why it's not the end of the world if it's "not all Skittles and fish." Will Success Spoil Pop Pop?Submitted by kim on Mon, 07/26/2010 - 17:26.It's not every set of grandparents that get their love story told on national television and radio. So the granddaughters dropped in on Cutie to ask if she thinks all this attention will give her husband a swelled head. |
