Happy Bastille Day, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Bastille Day, girls, so remember Blanche Yurka as Madame DeFarge in the Selznick film version of "A Tale Of Two Cities". Her cat fight with Edna Mae Oliver is one of the greatest!!!!!! Then watch Norma Shearer in "Marie Antoinette, and eat cakes and pastry!!!!!!

For years in New York, a small French restaurant near Barrow Street in the Village had men in drag dressed as Marie appearing there annually. I would not be surprised if they appear again--ANY excuse, for a drag queen!!!!--though the restaurant in that spot now is no longer French. But that does not mean drag Maries won't pop up somewhere else!!!!

So, have a lovely Bastille, loves!!!!! Allons ons, mes enfants!!!!!!!!!!! Et mes filles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
