Sierra: You ever seen A&E Biography?

Biography began as a series of documentaries on the A&E (Arts & Entertainment) cable TV network in 1987, and it has become one of if not the most popular show on that channel. Biography profiles all sorts of famous and sometimes not-so-famous people, both celebrities and historical figures of all kinds, past and present. (edit) Niki: Hello, Rolling Stone!

Roling Stone is a magazine that was founded as a bi-weekly in 1967 in San Francisco. It was a youth-oriented publication that covered rock music, left-wing politics and the youth counterculture of the time. Although it is more mainstream today, it's still considered a leader in the coverage of popular music. (edit) Lucas: That leaves out the Cubs, Blair Witch 2 and my parents' marriage.

When the girls say they ought not to mention anything to Alecia that suggests failure, Lucas lists a few taboo subjects. The Chicago Cubs major league baseball team is famous for its losing seasons. They have not participated in the World Series since 1945 and haven't won that title since 1908! The movie Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) was the sequel to 1999's biggest surprise hit at the movies, The Blair Witch Project. Blair Witch 2, however, got terrible reviews for the most part and filmgoers stayed away from it in droves. (edit) Alecia: I think this is enough (makeup), RuPaul.

RuPaul (sometimes known as RuPaul Charles) is a six-and-a-half foot tall drag queen, actor, model, singer, etc.--basically a professional celebrity--who often appears in public in a female persona. (edit) Niki: And you we're on the Mickey Mouse Club so you're already behind.

The Mickey Mouse Club was a variety show for kids produced by the Walt Disney Corp. featuring a regular cast of young boys and girls as perfomers. The original series debuted in 1955, and there were two later versions of the show in 1977 and 1989. Niki, talking to Alecia, is referring to the fact that some popular entertainers like singer Britney Spears were former cast members of Mickey Mouse. (edit) Alecia: My (singing) resume consists of the car, the shower and this one certifiably warped performance with my church choir of "Dreamlover".
Niki: Mariah Carey? Ouch!

Vocalist Mariah Carey was the biggest-selling female recording artist of the 1990's. Her song "Dreamlover" was a number 1 hit in September 1993. (edit) Sierra: How about you and your mama at Neiman's designer sale?

"Neiman's" is Neiman Marcus, a very upscale chain of retail department stores which had its origins in Dallas, Texas and has prestigious locations in New York, Chicago, etc. (edit) Niki: It's not real because she hasn't macked on Carson Daly yet.

Carson Daly first came to prominence hosting the MTV show Total Request Live (TRL). He's also hosted the NBC interview show Late Night with Carson Daly and has appeared in a number of films and other TV shows. He proved to be a big favorite of female fans right from the beginning of his small-screen career. (edit)
