Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also Sesame Street (old-school), but I don't really have any guilt over that pleasure.

Ok I am a big freaky dork, so I have a ton......here are some:

I LOVE BARRY MANILOW!!!!!!!!! (Ohhhh Mandy....well you came and you gave.......)

Neil Diamond

John Denver (I have a lot of guilty musical pleasures....)

The late, great Divine

Zorro The Gay Blade (HYSTERICAL movie)

Chocolate chips, marshmallows and a little butter mixed up, melted in the microwave and eaten with a spoon (PMS special!)

Barbies

Spongebob Squarepants (when the theme song starts, my daughter yells "Mom, your show's on!!!!!)

Game Show network......I love Match Game, Family Feud.....I admit that I love Richard Dawson and Bert Convy

Blue's Clues (but I like the old-school, with Steve)

I think I have sufficiently embarrassed myself for one day

ahhhh ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i was NAMED after that song. my mom went to many a barry manilow concert.. at one of them she was selected to talk to barry over the loudspeaker at the concert.. ugh.. all she did was talk about me and how she named me after his song, and how much of an influence he was on her life. i chalk it up to her being 17 when she had me.

to top it off the next day it was in the freaking BOSTON GLOBE all about me. everyone knew that was my mother.

i cannot live without a weekly dose of Friends, and of course, when something is gone wrong you should always have a pint of Ben and Jerrys nearby.

Mmm, People InStyle, or any wedding or Oscars special issue of a trashy gossip magazine. I love all the pictures of gorgeous dresses and fashion mistakes. The only thing better than this is sharing one with my best friend and insulting the tacky ones together.

I also adore pineapple malts from Dairy Queen, Harrison Ford in The Empire Strikes Back, and VH1 Behind the Music.

OMG! I used to be way into Teletubbies! I was commuting in my first semester of college, and was getting up really early, and I'd watch them before leaving. It was usually the only bright spot in my day!

I went as far as collecting all the keychains from Burger King when they came out - I even had to buy one on eBay to complete the set

I know what you mean about getting up early and watching Teletubbies. They come on here at 6:30 so I watch while I am getting ready for work. At least I start out the day cheerily!

Sweet Valley High Books-because sometimes my brain gets tired.

Any John Waters movie...I know all of the words to most of them.

The National Enquirer...it makes me feel like I know the stars personally. hehe

The youngest brother in 7 Brides for 7 brothers was Riff in West Side Story.

Oh wow, I never realized that.

7 Brides for 7 Brothers used to be one of the few movies that my grandma had at the farm in illinois. So in a given summer when we'd visit [from nj] we'd watch it like 3 times. It was on earlier this year and i was making dinner and flipping through channels... it was on.. and i was so excited that i called my mom just to tell her it was on. haha

I LOVE Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen!! I love their movies, their TV shows, everything! (Well, not the ones from when they were like 4 years old and making those detective movies or whatever). I don't even know what is about their stuff that I like so much - I just do...

Oh well, I guess everyone has their guilty pleasures...

You are not alone!!! My mom and my sister are the only people who know about my shameful secret. (Well now the whole internet does but hey...)

Normally I wouldn't ask...especially someone I don't know at all...but I'm too curious not to:

Why just one week a month? I mean, why not spread it out? And is it always the same week?

This may just be the stupidest question I've ever asked, but I'm really confused.

As for my guilty pleasure - having sleepovers with my friends - and not even THOSE kind of sleepovers. I always wanted my own room and my own bed and everything, then I lived in the sorority house and got used to living with a bunch of people I was really close to. I miss being surrounded by friends constantly and being able to find someone to talk to whenever I wanted to. Now I get lonely in my room by myself, especially since my family and I have so many issues and I don't really talk to them, so I always stay over someone's place at least once a weekend or have a friend stay at my house. It's comforting to know I'll have someone to talk to when I wake up, I guess.

RedHotChiO · #30 12-13-2002, 06:57 PM

I think that my guilty pleasure is lip gloss. Like CarolinaCutie I have about five different shades of Chanel glossimer and I've gone through five tubes of Unity lipgloss alone. I'm constantly looking for new colors to buy.

I'm a fairly big handbag fiend. I think I have about twenty, but if I count all of the crazy ones that people have given me I probably have like forty.

Oh, and I'm totally with you on the Mary Kate and Ashley thing. I love watching the Fox Family channel. That's where I first saw my future boyfriend Hayden Christensen (aka Darth Vader) on Higher Ground.
