Downtown Sylvia Brown...

When I was home during the holidays, I was flipping through the channels one morning and there was this older woman on Montel Williams show (who knew Montel still had a show). She's this psychic woman who has a deeper voice than most men, sounds like she's smoked 3 packs a day for the past 40 years. People in the audience ask her questions, not questions like you would hear on a gameshow, questions about dead loved ones, family members health and things along those lines.




The thing that cracks me up about Sylvia is that she answers the questions with such certainty. One woman got up and explained that she has had skin problems for 10 years and had seen several doctors and none of them could figure out what was causing her skin to break out. Within seconds, Sylia said "WHEAT!" and the woman in the audience looked sort of puzzled and said "Wheat!?" "YES! You can't eat wheat. Avoid all wheat for a week, then eat a slice of toast and see what happens"

I haven't been this entertained by a psychic since the good old days of the Psychic to the Stars, Kenny Kingston. Sylvia isn't flamboyantly gay like Kenny, and she doesn't wear a bad toupe like Kenny, but I'm strangly intrigued by her. Do I believe she has psychic capabilities? No.
