Hey y'all

You asked for it.

Now here it is. The Winfreys are taking this internet by force. Let's kick things off with a list of things I found underlined in my english book.
-Dick was fierce, and Dick was pure of heart
-Converting Dick into a symbol
-Destroying Dick in the most savage way
-seperate Dick's "dark soul" from his skin color
-The mystery of Dick's motives

A Poem From Alex

In the Talented Winfrey Family, sharing is caring. Not sharing germs or food or love (gross), but specifically sharing clothes. Chase once wore a pair of Mom's blue jeans to school, never noticing that they weren't his and weren't even designed for his sex. This incident immediately sent Alex into a creative frenzy, and after an entire night spent furiously typing and smoking Virginia Slims, he produced this poem:



Chase

He wakes up in the morning
feeling kind of boring
He sees a pair of pants
decides to take a chance
a smile on his face and a secret in his heart
he steps out the door with a wave and a fart

“Dang,” he thinks, “I look fine”
“only one problem, these pants aren’t mine”

Food

A birthday cake for a four year old; a Jello mold modeled by H. Davis; a batch of cupcakes decorated by Kerry and Dan.

Introductory Post: Who is The Talented Winfrey Family?

This is a poorly scanned photo of Alex and Chase, two of the three Talented Winfrey Siblings. This blog is intended to launch us into Superstardom by showcasing our works and wares, as well as our good genes.

Our goal is to become a Talented Super Family, much like the Sedarises, Glasses, or Tennenbaums. Yes, two of those examples are fictional, but that hardly matters. So, who is The Talented Winfrey Family?

-Chase, 13, is a cartoonist and the mastermind behind Blue Rocket Comics--perhaps you've heard of them? Chase works hard and plays hard, rushing to meet deadlines but occassionally indulging in a sinful mixture of hotdogs and pool water. He has the temperament of an artist, flying into a rage at the slightest provocation, but he can nearly always be calmed with the promise of a freshly popped bag of popcorn or some new colored pencils. You can find Chase in front of the computer or, more rarely, in his studio. His biggest concerns right now are increasing Blue Rocket Comics' fanbase, making it through eighth grade unscathed, and finding out when the cafeteria is going to serve Bosco Stix again.

--Alex, 18, is standing at the precipice of what will surely be a promising career in either film production or making fart noises into the telephone. Possibly both. Alex acheived early Clear Fork High School fame with his first full-length film, T-Unit. Fame didn't treat Alex well; the pressure to produce paralyzed him, and he sat on the couch in his sweatpants for years, unable to do anything but watch Wings reruns. Now that he's back to creating, his Art is uniquely informed by what he refers to as "The 'Wings' Years." He doesn't confine himself to film; he also works in watercolor, collage, and cupcakes. When Alex isn't mopping floors at a local Christian summercamp, he's most likely trying to convince you to smell gross things or making up new words for Fergie songs.

--Kerry, almost 22, oscillates between gradiose hope and extreme despair, which makes for writing that is wildly inconsistent and unpublishable. Some of the highest points of Kerry's life have been when she won second place in the Arbor Day poetry contest in third grade and when she won an award in fifth grade for her radical, anti-war poetry. The lowest point in her life thus far is realizing that these have been the highest points. Kerry is graduating and looking for a job, a new set of cake pans, and a reason to live. Her preferred method of working is to do a half-assed job for 75% of the project and then give up.



Prepare to see a variety of artwork, writing, film, and food. Our Talent is not constrained to just one genre, but instead manifests itself in every area of our lives. Please be aware that what you may see on this page is not intended for minors and may cause offense. Remember that in the Winfrey Family we do not believe that Art is merely entertainment; instead it should challenge preconceived notions, clash with authority, and sometimes even showcase Fall Out Boy in a less than flattering light. Regardless of what we post, we stand behind it.
