Kevin Ricks is a Sexual Predator

0 Comments 29 July 2010

If you follow the news like I do, then you have heard about the sickening sex abuse scandal in Manassas County, Virginia –a suburb of DC.   

Kevin Ricks, Sexual Predator

There has been an update.  Today, Kevin Ricks plead guilty to one sex abuse charge in a Prince William County courtroom.   This results in the first conviction in the case.  The former teacher will be sentenced in October 2010.  At sentencing, the judge can follow the sentencing guidelines, but he doesn’t have to.  Ricks could face a maximum of 10 years in prison.  He is also facing federal charges for transporting child pornography.

Ricks, 50, acknowledged that he was guilty of performing sex acts on a 16-year-old boy who had been a student of his at Osbourn High School.  The acts occurred during winter break in a basement room he was renting from the boy’s father.  A Manassas detective testified that Ricks wrote in his journal that he got the boy drunk before the first incident and that the second incident came just days later.

Ricks was a husband and a father.  It seems that Ricks was staying with the child’s father while he was going through a divorce.  I bet you the wife found out about him being gay and a pedophile.  She probably found out that he was a pedophile, filed for divorce and kicked him out.  This is so sad and all too common.

Invitation to an Anniversary Party

0 Comments 14 July 2010

We are in the process of designing a Happy Anniversary greeting card for a new client.  Anniversaries are so special and personal to those who are actually celebrating the anniversary.  As stationers, we have to make sure that we do some research on not only the married couple, but on “what’s out there.”

While searching for ideas and inspiration online, we came across a wine bottle invitation.  Of course the bottle symbolizes “celebration” and the bow tied around the bottle neck represents elegance.  I think this would be great for an invitation to an elegant event, like a wine and cheese anniversary party!

Bottle Invitation

Perhaps we can put a LiveLoveLife twist on this bottle invitation and create something entirely different – something that can be used as a “Happy Anniversary” greeting card. 

What do you think?

Lala and Carmelo Anthony Are Now Husband and Wife

0 Comments 12 July 2010

Former MTV host, Lala Vasquez and Denver Nuggets basketball player, Carmelo Anthony, tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in New York this weekend.  According to reports, they were engaged for about five years prior to getting married.  Congratulations to the lovely couple!

Lala and Carmelo

I really like Carmelo Anthony and Lala together.  As for the wedding details, I like her Vera Wang dress, but I was not that crazy about the make-up or the floral bouquet.  The wedding ceremony, bridal shower and bachelorette party were all taped for a reality TV series.  So I guess we will soon see what thought went in to picking out the dress, the floral bouquet, make-up, the venue and wedding invitations. 

Of course, I am most interested in the wedding invitations!

My Whitney Isn’t Coming Back!

0 Comments 09 June 2010

According to many online reports, Whitney Houston is not doing well.  Folks are saying that she is back on that ish and that her vocal abilities have been ruined forever.  In April 2010, her Britain show was terrible and fans were totally dissatisfied.  They were also concerned about her health.  I understand that her recent show on May 7^th in Berlin was absolutely horrible. 

Whitney Houston, Now and Back Then

However, based on the photo, she seems to be doing just fine to me.  She has been eating!  As a matter of fact, what exactly has she been eating??? We have never seen Whitney Houston so plump.  Have we?

Of course other blogs are calling her fat.  I won’t go there.

She's Definitely Gained Some Weight
