Growing up I wanted to be Christie Brinkley. I think I've stated that here before. It was truly one of my dreams.
The All American perfect girl-next-door blonde with the most radiant smile.
Then when she married Billy Joel, I was in awe. Two of my favorite pop culture people collided.
But I have to admit, I was a little sad for Alexa Ray, their daughter. She got Billy's eyes. Those sad, droopy eyes.
But...um....good genes kicked in and GOOD LORD she's a beauty.
Patt and I were both saying how sad we felt for her as a little girl. Your mother is Christie Brinkley and how hard would it be to grow up homely.
Nope. She grew up FINE.
Pretty girl.
(what brought this on is there's a picture of Christie with her son, Jack, who is VERY handsome and looks extremely boarding-school-ornery.)
