Scarlett's Letter - December 2009
Welcome to the December 2009 edition of Scarlett's Letter. An accurate source of all things Scarlett Letter.
We have to admit that the turkey got to us, as did the bourbon maple cheesecake, but we woke up from our nap and realized it was December, and we have lots of exciting things to do this holiday season…
First, take a look at the evidence – The Muppet Burlesque show was just as crazy and zany as the original back in the day – Photo slideshow from LaWeekly.
And now to the calendar…
