This week’s wonder and blunder doesn’t pertain to A-list celebrities, but this week they were in the eyes of the Internet.
Flossie Dickey is a 110-year-old legend, and she is something else. Her favorite things include naps and whiskey straight up. She’s charming in an elderly ‘I don’t have time for this bullsh*t’ kind of way. Her interview with the local news station in Cheney, Washington, was not only hysterical, but also refreshing.
With the media hounds and camera-crazed people of the modern era, it’s awesome to witness how little she cares about being on TV. And good for her!
No need to be someone you’re not when the spotlight’s on you. When asked if she’s excited about her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren joining her for her birthday celebration, she responded with a monotone “Not one bit.”
Many of the other questions were greeted with blank stares, and then complete and utter disdain for the flowers the station brought her. The highlight of the interview is when she is asked for some advice on the secret to her longevity:
“Don’t fight it. Live it.”
Such an inspiration. If I lived through World War I and II, I’m sure I’d be fed up with humans at that point, too. You go girl.
God bless all the people out there with the name Daniel. Once again, someone unworthy gets to meet the daytime talk show goddess herself, Ellen DeGeneres.
The “damn Daniel, back at it again with the white Vans” video has been the driving force behind a slew of parody videos, memes and even a song.
News outlets such as MTV News, The Washington Post, Time, Daily Mail, Hollywood Life and Buzzfeed have covered this kid who has done virtually nothing besides being well dressed and beautiful.
Which by the way, if you found yourself physically attracted to him like myself, he’s only 14.
We can’t forget to give credit to the legendary voice, which belongs to a 15-year-old lad named Josh.
Vans best be giving both of them a nice check for their unintentional product promotion. They already forked over a year’s worth of Vans to Daniel via the Ellen show, but they should take this opportunity and run with it. Currently, “Daniel’s Vans” are on Ebay for $300,000. Damn Daniel.
