Eve's

It's that time of year again, when everyone starts clammering about, determining what exactly they will do to ring in the new year. New Year's Eve has never tickled my fancy....there is always insurmountable pressure to do something fabulous, like attend a black-tie ball, or score reservations at some uber trendy hot spot where the prix fixe menu is just mediocre and overpriced, or you pack yourself into a bar that is four deep with people trying to order drinks, of which you have to wait for forever because the bar staff is knee deep and so you order two at a time and then are double fisted and that creeps up on you and the next thing you know you are tanksiesd but can't go home because there are no cabs in sight. Yeah, so not a fan of this particular Eve.

I thought about it and there are actual Eve's I do enjoy, so here they are:

  • the obvs, Christmas Eve (yay! love it)

  • Michelangelo's 'The Creation of Eve

  • Eve, as in Adam's Eve

  • Eve my boss's black dog, who was born on Christmas Eve, hence the name. She's so cute.

  • Eve, the rapper (Let Me Blow Ya Mind) and actress, who appeared in the critically acclaimed film 'Barbershop' of which I have not seen and am not sure if it was even critically acclaimed

  • Eves of Destruction, Canada's premier roller derby league, hittin chicks since 2006!

  • Eve Plumb, a.k.a. Jan Brady who famously said 'Marcia Marcia Marcia!'

  • The movie "All About Eve"

  • Eve Alda (not famous, just daughter of Alan)

  • Eve Arden

  • All Hallows Eve

  • Midsummer's Night Eve

  • Eve Cycles in Bermuda

I am sure there are more Eve's. I wanted to throw in Evelyn, of Crabtree & Evelyn fame, but the 'lyn' at the end of 'eve' made me feel weird about it.
