To start this blog, we wanted to take a minute to tell cyberspace who we are and where we came from. It must have been 2002 or 2003 with Asheley P. had the idea to start a book club. She invited all of her friends and her husband's female colleagues (i think mainly to eye the competition, but that's just my two cents...) to gather at her apartment and asked them if they liked to read. It started with a good 20 of us. We picked our first book, "The Pact" by Jodi Picoult, and we were reading...
Now lets fast forward to 2008, only 3 of the original members remain and we have transformed into a group of the wittiest and smartest women this side of the Mississippi! We are a Harvard Grad, an ex-Falcon's Cheerleader who can cook, a dancer (not of the pole variety), a English PhD, a high powered head hunter, 2 market researchers, 2 bankers, a stay at home mom whose skills in the boardroom are still as polished as her kitchen floors, an educator of educators, and more. Basically we are a high powered team of crazy fun bitches! We bring it all to book club and sort it out. We are not a group for the weak or the easily offended.
We love all types of books from autobiographies to chick lit. The bottom line is we like to read. But what we like more than reading is picking the movie cast for the book. Not only do we like selecting the cast, we are freaking good at it. Take for example In Her Shoes. Do you remember "Sidney" (Laura Leighton) from Melrose Place???? Wouldn't she have been a much better "Maggie" than Cameron Diaz. Yep, and how about the cast of The Other Boleyn Girl... Natalie Portman is not "Anne", Catherine Zeta Jones is. When you bring this many pop culture fanatics together you are bound to get it right over Hollywood. They could learn a thing or two from us.
