Who's She? She's Me!

Tonight one of us sisters got to meet Molly Ringwald.  Molly Ringwald!  Molly Ringwald who brought to life Samantha Baker.  Samantha Baker!  Samantha Baker who got to kiss Jake Ryan.  Samantha Baker who got the guy.  For girls everywhere (and especially us redheaded ones) Samantha Baker helped us to feel understood.  Sixteen Candles will forever be burned in our hearts as our favorite movie and we realize that the movie would be nothing without Molly Ringwald's portrayal of Samantha Baker.  That character is all the angst and frustration and longing that being a teenage girl can be and Molly nailed it.  If you haven't heard, Molly has moved on and conquered many things including motherhood, writing (a couple of great books) and is now touring with her jazz band and is an amazing singer.  Which is where my sister met her tonight after hearing her band play at the Texas State Fair.  One degree closer to Michael Schoeffling.

Oh yeah, remember Michael Schoeffling?  Well we haven't forgotten about him either.  Yes it certainly has been awhile since we have written for this blog but in the meantime we have tracked him down.  Keep your panties on everyone.  We have not met him and we do not own any of his furniture....yet.  But we can now put to rest the myth that he is living quietly with his family in a small town in Pennsylvania.  He is.

We realize he is just a guy (who happened to embody a major female fantasy aka Jake Ryan) who deserves his privacy.  But what about the furniture???  Truly that is what our quest is about.  We still can't find evidence of his furniture making business or skills for that matter.  We really would love to own a piece of something that his hands have crafted and carved.

Tonight when my sister met Molly Ringwald she asked her if she owns any of Michael Schoeffling's furniture.
Molly gave her a quizzical look and then proclaimed "No! Do You??!!"

  1. OMG! I really wish you'd update this blog and don't keep us hanging! I REALLLLY wanna see a recent picture of Jake Ryan (aka Michael) or maybe if someone ACTUALLY meets him, I wanna know how's he doing idk but I'm obsessed with him after watching Sixteen Candles recently (yes, I know I'm late lol) but still it's always a pity when someone so good disappears off the face of the planet! Hope you see this comment and have still not given up on your quest of finding MS hand crafted furniture! :)
