Sailor Brinkley-Cook’s ‘DWTS’ elimination left Christie Brinkley ‘heartbroken’ | Fox News
Some weeks feel like a total mash-up of pop culture glamour and real-life chaos—and this one absolutely delivered.
On one side of the internet, Sailor Brinkley Cook reminded everyone that iconic style clearly runs in the family. The model recreated one of her mother Christie Brinkley’s legendary magazine covers, and the resemblance was impossible to miss. Same confident pose, same timeless glow—proof that the apple truly didn’t fall far from the Brinkley tree. Fans were quick to call it a full-circle fashion moment, celebrating legacy, beauty, and a little nostalgia.
Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney turned heads with her much-talked-about lingerie launch, once again blending Hollywood star power with bold entrepreneurship. The collection sparked conversations across social media, reinforcing how celebrities are increasingly shaping fashion trends beyond the red carpet.
But while the celebrity world sparkled, Mother Nature had her own plans—especially for those of us in Middle Tennessee.
Snowmageddon Came… and Left Ice Behind
Snowmageddon rolled through, and while the snowfall itself was fairly modest—just a couple of inches on Saturday morning—it was what came next that caused real trouble. Freezing rain took over for nearly 12 straight hours, leaving the entire Nashville metro area encased in thick, dangerous ice by Sunday morning.
The aftermath? Downed trees, snapped power lines, and thousands of residents without electricity for over 48 hours—during a brutal cold snap where temperatures dipped to 6 degrees. Large parts of the city looked more like a disaster zone than a winter wonderland.
Ironically, just a week earlier, many of us were wishing for a proper snowstorm. Emphasis on snow. This ice storm from hell was definitely not part of the dream.
Gratitude in the Middle of the Freeze
Over in Murfreesboro, luck played a rare role. While neighborhoods nearby went dark, a small pocket—including my own—kept power throughout the storm. Having a warm house, hot food, and a working stove while others struggled put everything into perspective. Sometimes winter teaches gratitude the hard way.
Saturday still managed to offer a few joyful hours before the ice took over—especially for Rocky, my dog, who experienced his first real snow since leaving shelter life. His excitement was pure and contagious. Zoomies, snow-sniffing, and tail-wagging happiness everywhere.
Ice, however, is a different story.
Rocky isn’t a fan of slipping and sliding, and he definitely doesn’t appreciate winter booties. But protecting frost-sensitive paws comes with the job. Watching him walk in those booties felt like a scene straight out of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia—dramatic, hilarious, and completely over the top.
His biggest meltdown, though, came when his favorite bone froze solid to the yard. After thirty minutes of licking, digging, biting, and full-on stomping, he finally freed it. Lesson learned? Maybe don’t leave toys outside overnight—though convincing him of that is another challenge altogether.
From Runways to Ice-Covered Roads
Between celebrity fashion moments and an unforgiving winter storm, this week perfectly captured life’s strange contrasts. Glamour online, grit outside—and a reminder that whether it’s recreating an iconic magazine cover or surviving an ice storm, resilience always steals the spotlight.
