Darlings, I am telling you, the other night, there I was ensconced with Monsieur Davide in his elegant Village pensione, where we had settled in to watch what I thought would be a charming and campy bit of fluff--"The Big GAY Musical." Honey, you can skip this one. The musical scenes are everything you have seen if you have been in New York and Gay for the past 30 years, and these are sandwiched in between philosophic scenes that have the temerity to tell the Gay Community how it should behave, and that even William Inge would think a little preachy.
I would much rather have been watching Hallie Hirsh playing child serial killer Jenny Brandt in the "Killerz" episode of "Law and Order," which I expect to view soon. Jenny Brandt--what a piece of work--kills a boy, gets away with it, looks forward to killing another. The monologue where she talks about killing a cat (textbook sign of a serial killer--killing animals; come to think of it, Kelli Garner's Brittany O'Malley in "Mean" was pretty much the same way, suspected of poisoning her boyfriend's cat, Buttons) is a classic, and many say she should have received an Emmy for her performance. I can't wait to see it. And Hallie of course was superb a few years before--2007--as another piece of work, evil teen killer Tina Quinn, who is clearly based on my real life Tina, Diane Dykeman. Hallie seems to excel at playing rotten people. Hell, maybe she should play Jessica Holtmeyer, that cold blooded bitch, who hung a disabled teen to death in 1998,thinking it was fun, in Clearfield, PA, the conformist capital of the U.S., so you can see where conformity gets you.
But, darlings, it is too nice a day to venture into such dark territory. It is time to think about Fashion Week next month, because Anna Wintour will be venturing onto my turf, and it will be interesting to see what happens when La Wintour and I cross paths. Monsieur Davide and I are getting a dose camp on Sunday from Marilyn and Jane via the wide screen color presentation of "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" at the Film Forum, so it is too nice to think about Jenny Brandt or Jessica Holtmeyer, though we want to see Hallie play Jenny. And what about lunch, and my errands today, lambs? I had better run and get ready, but before I do, this is The Raving Queen telling you all out there to pet your pussies (the GAY kind, darlings) and remember we are not serial killers but Masters Of Scrumptiousness!!!!!!!!
Have a scrumptious time, loves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
