I totally forgot to post my pics from when I went to see Grease on Broadway. It has been a dream to see Grease and my friend, Wendy, had won tickets...and even better...Ace Young was in it. Some of these pics were taken on Wendy's camera - I want to make sure she gets credit for those First, me arriving at Grand Central picking up my black and white cupcakes...I'm addicted to these and they are even better than the b/w cookies Me and my friend Jeanne posing with the Ace Young poster: Jeanne, Wendy, and me outside of the theater: The gourgeous star of the show who plays Danny, and one of the finalists who was in "Grease, You're the One That I Want", Derek Keeling: Kenicke aka Ace Young (what a sweet guy!!!): Me and Ace: More Ace: Ace and Derek - we were actually standing there a while, trying to see if we could get our pic with Derek. We should have asked him when he was standing in front of us...duh! I'm still kicking myself over that one. He was talking on the phone in this pic otherwise we might have bothered him, lol!

Don't think I have ever had those. I really think that black and white cookies are a NY thing. No one outside of NY state has ever heard of them, it seems, which I find strange since I've had them since I was a little girl. It is a soft cookie with hard chocolate and white icing on either side. The cookie is big but the cupcakes - which I've only recently started to see, are smaller. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_white_cookiewww.blackandwhitecookies.com/cgi-bin/ccp51/cp-app.cgi/The new Danny, Derek Keeling, was one of the runner-ups from that reality show. The guy who won, Max Crumb, ended his run as Danny this past summer.

Now I remewmber better. I didn't exp. like Max. This part of the wikipedia article on your cookies made me laugh The cookie's New York-ness was cemented by its appearance in the Seinfeld episode "The Dinner Party", in which Jerry Seinfeld bases his philosophy of race relations on the cookie, saying "look to the cookie." In the end, Jerry ended up with indigestion, his description, "I've got David Duke and Farrakhan going at it down there

Great pics Laurie, thanks for sharing them with us. We did have several Ace fans here when he was on AI. Black and white cupcakes. I love black and white cookies but I've never had the cupcakes. Hmmm, sounds like I need another trip back to NY. ;D MB, I remember that Seinfeld episode..."look to the cookie" #th74a73472# Love your pic with Ace. He's very tall isn't he? Looks like he had to lean down to get his head next to yours. I like the poster of him too. I remember seeing parts of that show "Grease, You're the One That I Want". With so many guys trying out for the part, they can keep that show going for a long time.

Thanks for posting your pics, Laurie! Ace was my favorite from that season of AI. I'm still a fan, just haven't had time to keep up with what he's been doing lately. I have noticed that his hair is shorter in recent pics. Hope he grows it out again... I think he looks great with longer hair, like in the Grease poster.
I remember the black and white cookie being mentioned on Seinfeld, and for awhile I thought it was the show that made it famous. I have had one of those somewhere, but it wasn't in NY. It might have been at a bakery at the college I went to, which I visited a few years ago. (I had to see if they still had the iced chocolate oatmeal cookies I used to buy there many years ago, and they did!) Now I'm craving those black and white cupcakes...

So Ace is doing broadway now, that's great! I am surprised that Max Crumb isn't still in the lead. I mean, if he was better than the others and won the part, then why wouldn't they keep him. And if he isn't that great, they why did he win??? IIRC, the cutest contestant on the show was Austin...the blondie.

Just a little aside to the comment about Ace's height. He is 6' 1" according to some info I read. So is Taylor Hicks, which surprised me.

I knew that you would have heard of b/w cookies! I should mail you the cupcakes. Not sure if they would last. They spoil so quickly. I forgot about the Seinfeld episode. Yep, Ace is pretty tall. I love it when these guys have to bend down to get closer to your face...ahhhhh I heard that Grease is closing next spring. I hope that is just a rumor!

She said that if he won, we were going to see him...she didn't want Max to win.
