Toni Basil is … 64 and single
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008I saw a banner ad just today prompting me to “Get Toni Basil’s ‘Mickey’ on your phone”. I don’t know if she’s single, but she is, in fact, 64.

First comes the fact that I found a really old friend on Facebook (like, the last time I talked to her was 15 years ago), and she’s doing really well… then comes this photo from my 2nd Grade Elementary School class from another really old acquiantance who’s also doing really well.
I’m last on the right in the second row… Full-size images coming soon for my your embarassment entertainment!
