A trip to Bahrain at the end of the Gulf War was one of her assignments. Those characters were the secret police assigned to keep their eye on her. Fascinating place, the Middle East. Click for more on Robin's years in television.

What Was She Thinking?

She looks as if she's having fun ...
But all the while she wants to run ...

She hopes no one she knows will spot her ...

And then she finds she's in hot water!


Just because you are young and in the public eye and someone asks you to be in a dunk tank for a charity event, doesn't mean you have to agree to do it. But Robin, when she was young, was always trying to make everybody happy and wanted everyone to like her. Thus, when someone made this request to her, she said yes. Worse yet, someone was there with a camera to record the event. And even worse, she saved the pictures. And possibly even worse than that, she now offers them up here on her blog. But she does so as a lesson. Trying to please everybody in the world is impossible. If you are in the public eye and you want to please everyone you may end up looking a little silly (see the above pictures.) If you want to help out a charity, think about it long and hard, and then, instead of doing something like this, write the charity a check and wish them well. Robin thinks these pictures will prevent her from becoming President of the United States, but considering how silly the candidates have been this year, we don't think a little indiscretion like this one will do it.

  1. LOVE the photos. Deft and sharp eyed commentary that made me chuckle.

  2. The pictures are fun, a person can't just have posed pretty pictures. I need more fun pictures of myself I think.

  4. Methinks Lady R reveals a bit too much flesh. Perhaps overly influenced by her meeting with the Princess of Wales.
