Marie Osmond Is Cool

I loved Donny and Marie when I was a kid. I adored Donny, of course, and still admire his Mormon good looks, untainted by alcohol, drugs, tobacco, caffeine, sex with groupies, or anything else fun.

I also admired Marie's smart, spunky sass, and her hairstyle (my mom got my hair cut just like it.)

Marie is on "Dancing With The Stars," and in her segment on last night's premiere, she said she was doing the show because she wanted to show women like herself, "single, over 45, with a bunch of kids, that it's not all over because life is a blast."

Go Marie!

BTW... I had the Donny and Marie dolls, and they wore the same costumes as in the pic! The Donny doll even had purple socks!
