A few weeks ago I posted my favorite duo. Here’s my other favorite duo: The White Stripes.

Love these guys. Always have.
I almost got to see them a few years ago when they were scheduled to come to Halifax, but sadly, Art Garfunkel lost his voice and they weren’t able to continue the tour.

Meet Judy. Before each flight, she likes to inform passengers of safety measures and basic manners. Respect her and she’ll get you where you’re going.

Nick Lowe is pretty awesome.
Please forgive me if he looks a little like Orville Redenbacher. Admittedly, they do kind of look alike but Nick Lowe is about 80 years younger and 100 years cooler.
He is currently touring with Wilco (another one of our favorites). Boy, it sure would be great if these two ended up in Halifax!

So, here is the final installment of my Three’s Company series. Mr. Furley (RF) was a comedic icon as well as, widely known for his bold sense of fashion. Overall, a pretty lovable character, as are the others.

Remember this trio? I thought I would pay tribute to one of my favorite television sitcoms. They’re a pretty stylin’ bunch. Even Janet with her blue zero night shirt. I’ve always wanted that night shirt.
(Please excuse Chrissy’s prominent bust—I think it might be inaccurately large.)
Have a great weekend, people!
