Brooke Burns
I just looked it up - Brook Busey. Also, in "huh" news, she's producting the film adaptation of Breathers (which I have on my to-be-read pile) and of the Sweet Valley High books.
It's all about the coat.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I hate it when they get the horses wrong. They cast a chestnut as Pie in National Velvet! That made no *sense*. The whole point was that it was a piebald horse, so no one thought he could jump. Yes, I know, the movie is 50 years old, but it still bugs me. They probably couldn't have found a piebald jumper anyway.
I was watching some movie, supposed to have been set in France in the Middle Ages or somesuch, I can't remember because I walked out and left the movie to my ex-BF when I saw the hero riding an Appaloosa. Ex-BF to his credit was appalled when I explained what an Appaloosa was and why therefore there couldn't have been any Appaloosas in Europe in the Middle Ages. He still watched the movie though.

I've always wanted to see a good film made from a Marguerite Henry novel. I know they did one for Misty of Chincoteague several decades ago, but I've never seen it--has anyone seen it?

If it had been her name, I'd have looked so ridiculous. It's cool, but it never seemed like it would be on somebody's birth certificate.

I met a woman named Alia once and was both awed by the coolness of naming your child after a character in a Frank Herbert novel (eta: no less, a much maligned David Lynch flick) and appalled at naming your child after an "Abomination." Fortunately, she came down on the cool side of the equation and was impressed that I knew the reference.
Baby naming from pop culture, and pseuds for that matter, can be tricky!

I know an Alia too. She's great. I don't remember whether we covered the potential geekiness of her name.

Speaking of geekiness, I was especially pleased that her parents pronounced it 'right.' Meaning, AHlia vs. aLEEa, of course. (Scott Brick, who reads the Brian Herbert sequels does it wrong and it burns.)

You horse people know you're the only ones who have the slightest clue, right? The rest of us just go "horsie!"

I'm pretty sure Alia exists as a regular girl's name in other languages. Arabic for one, also Hebrew maybe?
