V at The Verbal Spew is celebrating a milestone birthday today, and she reminded me that she shares her birthday with Irish tenor, drinker, eye-patch wearer, and sometimes writer James Joyce (he’d be 132 today)
Also celebrating a birthday today is Colombian songbird Shakira, seen here singing, smoking and, er, discussing interior design with Rihanna. A word about safety, ladies: in the event of a fire, blocking the staircase with a bed is a bad idea.

The fact that Joycey would have been one hundred and two years older than me today makes me feel a lot better about turning thirty. 😀 This is a great post.
