Baby

I would be remiss on "Teen Pop Stars" week to not include Justin Bieber.  The oldest redhead in our home has the fever, the Bieber fever that is.  :) 
Last summer she bough all the CD's he had done to that point and played them.  CONSTANTLY.  Dear Lord I thought I was going to pull my eyelashes out and my ears would start to bleed. 
Apparently this kid is extremely talented.  Started playing the drums and guitar in his toddler years - literally - and has progressed ever since.  Good for him.  Glad for him. 
As I am with all teen stars I don't hold my breath until they get to be around Miley's age and begin to show the world who they really are going to be as they mature.  We can all see where Miley is headed and with Bieber hanging out with people like Snoop Dog and Usher...well let's just say my daughter may be taking down her poster of him sooner rather than later if he begins to act like them!
Since I have listened repeatedly to all of his songs I find them hysterical because when he was 13 and 14 he was singing about true love.  TRUE LOVE?  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  All the teen stars sing about this and it cracks me up.  They know nothing.  Nothing! 
Oh well, it provides entertainment for the tweeners and teens and back in my day the pop stars of that day were doing the same kinds of songs and most likely my Mom was saying the same kinds of things!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
