Stephanie Edwards Returns to Rose Parade
After a nearly two year petition campaign by this blog, KTLA is returning Southern California broadcasting legend Stephanie Edwards to join Bob Eubanks as co-host for coverage of the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade.You may remember that Stephanie was unceremoniously dumped by KTLA two years ago for a younger model, Michaela Pereira. They've now had a change of heart.
In early 2007 this blog undertook a petition drive to convince KTLA to bring Edwards back. Look like it worked. Nearly 350 people signed the petition. Signer April Pazmino summed up many of Edwards' fans' feeling when she posted "Without Stephanie, watching the parade is painful."
I have to admit when Stephanie didn't come back in 2008 I pretty much gave up hope as I had given up hope that John McCain might actually pick Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Looks like January 1, 2009 will be pain-free for you April. Congrats everyone!

How old is that photo?
I'd rather kiss He PingPing!
Well, it's about effin' time. That young gal just comes on in and take over? well, finally, justice.
And I hope it rains that year- just at the beginning, sorry- right on Micaela Pereira- if it's a dry one, just somebody let have it with a hose (and stop those bad thoughts- with a water hose).
By the way- change the Dorian Gray portrait, for god's sake, she 63 already. Damn. And get Micaela with two hoses for elder abuse. And get Bob Eubanks, too, for not sticking up for Stephanie. Some pal.
Still near Pasadena, too near.
I once sat next to Bob Eubanks on a Southwest flight to Vegas.
He turned dark red when I said, "Hey you're...you're...you're Chuck Barris, right?"
Classic.
Well congratulations to you Mayor Sam. It would appear you are on a roll. You have been pushing for Stephanie Edwards to return and you most certainly did push Palin.. much to the disgust of some of us who like you anyway!
Dream hard. It seems like you're going to have a good year in 2009.
Thanks Mayor Sam !!!!!!!

But, what's wrong with her picture.. She could look that good. Haven't seen her in awhile, but hey.... that could be me.. I'm 64 :)

Lots of schizophrenia on the blog about older women. Barbara Streisand rammed as an old over-60 broad with saggy dress sagging off her "saggy rack," but this one is a keeper. Because she's modest enough to know her place as an old bag, smiling all the time and being "nice" and not getting ideas that she still has any stuff left? Not that I could stand Barbra when she was younger, either.
Stephanie being left in the rain, with nothing but her umbrella, while the young nobody broad was under the tarp, seated in a chair, WAS a classic of how our society treats its old broads, though.
good for stephanie!!!!
Stephanie Edwards? I'd hit it.
I've missed her and am very glad she'll be back exchanging banter with Eubanks.
The Rose Parade hasn't been the same without Stephanie- and I am so so glad she is back- Eubanks is totally dispensable but Stephanie is the QUEEN and thank God KTLA came to it's senses.
I wish i could have signed your petition- but i didn't know about it - however i did write to KTLA on my own.
YEA!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR~!!!!!!
