The Kiss Cam at LA Kings games captures couples on camera, puts them on the big screen for the stadium to see and then they kiss. It’s a local tradition that fans secretly hope they’ll get to be a part of. On Friday, one of the couples featured was Brad Parr and Andy Evans. Watch the couple along with the cute crowd reaction here.
Per OutSports.com Parr said, “”It was a particularly sweet night since the Kings were playing and beat my hometown Toronto. My parents and siblings live in LA but the rest of my family think I am a terrible traitor for being a Kings fan; I’ve lived in LA for 17 years.”
Monday Meme: Eyes
Born in Austria-Hungary in 1868, writer Norman Douglas was once described as a “pagan to the core” thanks in part to his scandalous gay relationships and devil-may-care attitude. He wrote several works including multiple travel books, the novel South Wind and a naughty book of limericks which personifies Douglas’ penchant for bawdy humor. Douglas died in 1952 in Capri, Italy the place he loved and served as an inspiration for many of his books.
Our Monday meme uses Douglas’ witty words to ponder friendship. And speaking of friends, hop on over to our card gallery to find the perfect card for one of your friends!

Monday Meme: Storm
Although you couldn’t sit down with Oprah and come out of the closet back in Willa Cather’s day, the iconic author didn’t exactly hide her relationships with women either.To this day, scholars quibble over if these relationships were indeed sexual. Nevertheless, Cather and Edith Lewis lived together in series of apartments from 1908 until the author’s death in 1947. Regardless of her sexual orientation, Cather had a unique vision into the human soul and wrote incredible works that stand up today. Today’s meme and the quote provided by Cather touches on her long-running themes of inner strength and resiliency.

Good old Mark Twain would be a spry 180 years old today and probably still spouting off incredible little chestnuts like the one featured in today’s meme. Twain had a way of cutting through life’s bs like a hot knife and could also be incredibly tender as shown in this meme. We chose this particular quote because a reminder of kindness is always a good thing especially during the holiday season. Twain died in April 1910 but his words and wisdom continue to make us laugh and think.

With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up in a few days, we figured a Monday Meme focused around gratitude was probably a good idea. This one comes from that Texas-born quote factory William Arthur Ward. Ward wrote for dozens of magazines and newspapers and rose to acclaim in the 1950’s. He died in 1994 but lives on in a series of quotes that wind up everywhere and we thought this was a great one considering the season.
Lastly, it’s a nice time to remember what we’re personally grateful for and we’re grateful for you, lovely card buyers!
Monday Meme: Warrior
Today’s quote comes to us by openly gay author Tom Spanbauer. Spanbauer’s novels like Now is the Hour and The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon are modern classics that explore love, race and sexuality with humor and prose. Spanbauer doesn’t shy away from difficult topics in his books and has been incredibly open about his own personal struggles. So it’s due to this bravery, humor and talent we honor Tom Spanbauer with a Monday Meme! We happen to think this quote embodies the right kind of attitude to have on a Monday morning.
