Maddie Teeuws
Model Appreciation
Maddie “Madi” Teeuws, born November 8, 1995 in Southlake, Texas, is an American model whose friendly Texan charm radiates through her sparkling green eyes and sun-kissed blonde hair. At 5'7", she embodies the ideal blend of approachability and runway elegance—a height that fits comfortably between petite and high fashion.
Though she originally grew up in the D.C. area, she made Texas home and later graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in Advertising. Her Instagram presence (@madtev) helped launch her modeling career, where her natural beauty and down-to-earth energy made her a favorite in lifestyle and fashion shoots.
Beyond modeling, Maddie’s interests stretch into health, wellness, and media. She’s expressed a passion for storytelling and creating content that feels both personal and aspirational—often blending her creative eye with her academic background. Whether she’s in front of a camera or behind a project, she’s carving out a path that’s as authentic as it is stylish.

The Sexy Leopard and a $50 Tawny
I love Halloween. Every year, I go all out decorating the garage — lights, creepy soundtrack, and enough candy to bribe the entire neighborhood. I get so caught up making it perfect that I usually forget one thing: my own costume.
My wife, on the other hand, came prepared. A few days before Halloween, Amazon boxes started showing up. Inside? Her secret costume.
When she finally stepped into the garage, I did a double take. Tight leopard-print outfit, painted spots on her face, and four-inch heels — she was unrecognizable. Let’s just say the enhancements from her recent surgery filled that outfit perfectly.
“Are we going out?” she purred.
I blinked. “Uh… give me five minutes.”
I ran upstairs, rummaged through the costume bin, and found the easiest option: a masquerade mask. Not my best work, but at least I wasn’t standing next to her in jeans and a tee shirt.
We closed up the garage and headed out to dinner at Fleming’s. It had been a while since we’d had a proper date night. The funny thing was, every time I looked at her, I felt like I was talking to someone else.
“Babe, it feels like I’m dating another woman,” I confessed, staring at her painted face and boobs.
After enjoying their Miso-glazed Chilean sea bass, the bartender asked, “Would you like dessert?”
“Crème brûlée?” I offered.
“Tawny,” she said.
“Fifteen-year or forty-year?” the bartender asked.
“Forty,” she said, smiling at me. “Sorry, babe.”
That “sorry” added seventy-five bucks to the bill — and honestly, worth every penny, but don't tell her.
The night wasn’t over, however. “Let’s go somewhere fun,” she said. So off we went to a bar with an ’80s cover band. She danced, laughed, and turned heads while I tried not to trip over my own jaw.
Hours later, we finally got home. I was done; she wasn’t. She opened a bottle of wine, turned the music back on, and started dancing again.
At some point, I fell asleep on the couch. I vaguely remember loud music, a doorbell, and seeing a leopard grab an orange Whataburger bag from someone at the door. Then she covered me with a fur throw and everything went quiet.
The next morning told the whole story: wine glasses, a half bottle of wine, leopard ears and tail on the floor, and one very hungover wife.
The moral? Never underestimate a forty-year Tawny — or a woman in leopard print on Halloween.

Elwood Edwards
Acting Appreciation
To a '90s kid, nothing quite sounded like possibility -- the crackle of AOL dial-up, the universe of static, those blinking screens. You knew something big was about to happen. And then, that voice: "You've got mail." For many of us, it was simple magic -- the gateway to what felt like endless information. That voice belonged to Elwood Hughes Edwards, Jr.
Born November 6, 1949, in Glen Burnie, Maryland, Elwood grew up partly in North Carolina (in Beaufort, then New Bern) where he got his starts in radio very early -- high school radio in 1964. After high school, he drifted through TV work: announcing, doing graphics, cameras, even a little weather forecasting and commercials.
In 1989, the twist of fate: his wife, Karen, who worked for Quantum Computer Services (which ran the online service Q-Link), overheard their CEO, Steve Case, talking about adding voice alerts to their user interface. She suggested Elwood. He recorded a few phrases -- "Welcome," "Good-bye," "File's done," and the all important "You've got mail." -- on a cassette deck in his living room. The pay: about $200.
October 1989 rolls around, Q-Link becomes America Online (AOL), and those phrases go live. Suddenly, millions of users are hearing Elwood whenever they logged on, sent or received messages, or just signed out.
Over the years, his voice became an unexpected icon -- so recognizable that it was used in pop culture. Despite all that, there was a bittersweet side: Elwood didn't get residuals for the voice work -- those phrases were used millions of times a day, but he was paid once. Still, he seemed to carry it with humor and a sense of wonder: part of him always amazed that something so simple -- his voice saying 13 words recorded at home -- could touch so many.
Elwood Edwards passed away November 5, 2024, just one day shy of his 75th birthday.
