Shannon Tweed Day was mooted by a local politician, and shot down by mayor Doug Thompson.*
The emotion and column inches given to the topic were nuts! I'm sure Quebec succession didn't generate this size of mail bag.
Shannon Tweed, who happened to start becoming a somebody in Ottawa, was originally from Newfoundland. She was a bar manager for a while when she became acknowledged as a babe,
[bit of a wardrobe malfunction there! pic- filmweb.pl]by none other than viagra-poppin', stinkin' of wee-wee Hugh Hefner and his groundbreaking feminist Playwankrag. (more on him some other time)
[pic- getback.com]She was FINE, though.
[pic- scrapetv.com]Well, she sauntered back in triumphally to support her partner's*** little music ensemble, Keep It Simple Stupid. She was just minding her own business like a good Newfie girl, until a bored politician seized the moment to get his 15 minutes of fame by latching onto someone famous.
Anyway, they were invited to visit the parliament with full honours in recognition of their regal status.
The partner was allowed to address parliament, as you would expect:
"Rock'n'roll!""Rockin' the mic!"
"Order, order!" "get me a scotch."
"what's it take to get a waitress in here?"
"Pfffft.HAAAA!...you get it?", tapping the mic, "Is this on?"
He joked, playing up to the stuffed suits in the front row
who cleared their throats in disapproval.
Then, he proceeded to weigh into policy issues, shocking the House:
"Whataya doin' givin' free health care?""Youz freaks!"
Funny thing is, in all the articles, Shannon's called an "actress."
As far as her acting career is concerned, let's say a few things:
-the less said the better, poor thing.
-reality tv saved her image.
-it sure got Ozzy out of the gutter.
-at least it's obvious she didn't try to sleep her way to the top in H-wood, 'cuz she didn't even get anywhere near the middle. Wiki and Ytube it, if you dare.

* Her Jewish husband, Gene Simmons, encapsulated feelings well when he said "Not everybody loved Jesus either."
** like Dan Akroyd, Rich Little, Paul Anka, Tom Green, Alanis Morisette and lots of other fine, non-boring folks.
*** It's so regal to have a partner rather than a wife/husband. Look at Prince Chuck and his tamp...er, tram.., trom...er... dromi...Camilla!
