October 4, 2012 Dearest Lolo Foy, Happy birthday! You turn 90 years old today and that is, by current standards, no mean feat.

I look 70 percent like a certain Miriam Yeung, 82 percent like Michelle Williams and 72 percent like Tata Young. The only consolation I had was an 80 percent match with Chad Michael Murray. Aaargh! I look like a girl!
