There Comes A Time, Loves, When We Have To Stop Living Like Our Lives Is "Valley Of The Dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                            Like this line, and quote from Neely.  Oh, my God, I used to parade through New York City, --the theaters, the clubs--like I was some big talent.  Neely said she was not ordinary, and by God I sure as hell was not.  Bur, then, Neely never finds love and ends up in the gutter.  Did I want that?  Do any of us?  Of course not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

                             The question of whether or not your boyfriend is straight.  Here, Lyon Burke (Paul Burke) behaves like a genuine Theater Queen.  Straight girls do not date such, darlings.  And look at the questioning stare on Barbara Parkins' face.  Ann should have stuck to her own doubts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                         "But she's talented, Henry! She's REALLY got it!"--Helen finally admits Neely is the big talent she says she is.  I used to wait around for my detractors to get wise, but, as Neely says, "So WHAT?  Who needs them?  The whole world loves me!!!!!!!!!"   Just keep telling yourselves that, and you will make it through.  Maybe without the pills and gutter of Neely.  Just remember, girls, we are all big stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                           Oh, this is my favorite!  "You better run, you little whore!""--Gays of a certain age, not the twinks of today who do not know what Stonewall is, know that this scene was based on when Judy Garland caught hubby Vincente Minnelli in the pool.  Only the little whore was male, but even in 1966 Jackie could not write that.   And Ted's line, "That little whore makes me feel nine feet tall."  Nine what, Ted????????  Oh, we get it, so the censors slipped it in.  In the book, it was "seven feet." Guess they had to prove a point.  The point is, girls, how could Garland marry Minnelli??????????  I mean, he was nothing to look at!  And girls, this is not what you want from marriage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            Yes, it IS fun to say the lines and act things out, especially at parties.  Campy as it is and always will be, who knew "Valley Of The Dolls" was a cautionary tale as well?

                              Oh, and how about when Neely says, "So?  I'll do the second act first!"

                             Make sure, girls, you live your lives in sequential order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
