W3 is not K3
Tell me what’s wrong with this picture? And I don’t mean the lack of a poster picture for the video. Click and watch, and if you’re with me at all about K3, I hope you have the same reaction I did.

K3, loud and soft
I lied! Here’s more with K3. First, there’s an amateur view of the ladies waving bye-bye at the big, splashy Studio 100 Summer Festival in Holland, taking Mega Mindy with them up the stairs.
“K3 10 Years,” but for me it’s only been four months. At first I wondered why they always use large, handheld microphones instead of small headsets. The mics must constrain the choreography, but after thinking about it I realized they reinforce who’s singing.
And here is a real treat. K3 shining in a smaller, quieter setting. If, after seeing this warm and winning performance, you still aren’t sold on K3, I give up. (Sorry, there’s nothing I can do about the video compression glitches.)
I won’t speculate if Karen, Kristel and Kathleen could match Petula Clark as solo performers. That would be a totally unfair comparison. My feeling is that K3 is/are, like other groups I appreciate, being much more than the sum of their parts. And I have no complaints about the parts!

Studio 100 ZomerFestival
You missed it! I missed it too. I’m speaking, of course, of Studio 100’s Summer Festival at the Ahoy Rotterdam stadium, Netherlands, this past June. But thankfully we can watch some video highlights, including K3 and Mega Mindy sharing the stage. It just doesn’t get any better than that!
Look at all of those adorable little Mega Mindys! But why not more of Mindy herself in the video? Maybe she had to get back to Plopsaland in Belgium to capture some crooks. Why would anybody NOT want to be caught by Mega Mindy??
This will be it for a while before I post more about K3, girl group extraordinaire. Thank you for your indulgence.

Oxi Fresh, Baby
The local paper had an item about the economy tanking, with a one-man carpet cleaning operation cited as an example. By coincidence a postcard came in the mail for a carpet cleaning franchise called OxiFresh.
Carol was really amused by this, and she had the following observations, which I admit didn’t occur to me.
- The woman is 40-ish
- The woman looks pregnant.
- The baby is under a year old.
- The baby appears to be gigantic.
Taking the techie point of view, I’m assuming Photoshop was used. One has to wonder who approved the picture. A pregnant 40-year-old woman whose baby is only crawling age?

It’s October 2, Charlie Brown
Fifty eight years ago today, Peanuts began. The first strip has been reprinted a zillion times, so instead I’ll post the first anniversary strip, from October 2, 1951.
