The Panties Stop Being Thrown After March 29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                       That is this coming Sunday, when Jonathan Groff gives his last iconic performance in "Just In Time."  Someone--the producers, probably--are stupid enough to think he can be replaced but let me tell you that handsomeness and iconic talent cannot.  I guarantee as soon as Groff exits, not only will panties stop being thrown, but people will stop coming to the show, ticket sales will tank, and money will be lost.

                                          Why don't they just quit while ahead and close the show?   Goff and his charm and talent were the reason people flocked to this show.  They won't after March 29.

                                             I can't wait to see what Jonathan does next!  Even if I have to fly to London to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                             Scream!!!!!!!!!!!!  Faint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  while you can, because after Sunday this show will be no more.

                                               Jonathan is irreplaceable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                               It's sending a twat to Mayor Koch.

                                              Oh, honey, he wouldn't know what to do with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls, I Am Telling You, "Satan In High Heels" Is A Must!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Darlings, David and I watched this 1962 film the other night. Up until recently, I had never heard of it, but after seeing it, you will not easily forget it.

                                       Meg Myles plays Stacy Kane, an ex-carnival stripper from California, who comes to New York, and finds a career in Pepe's Night Club on the fashionable Upper East Side near Sutton Place.  You wouldn't believe that area today, or then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                          The opening scenes in California have a macabre amusement park quality, foreshadowing "Carnival Of Souls" (1962) and "Night Tide" (1964).  But when she gets to New York--oh, my God, it reminds me of my youth!  The tacky nightclubs, those off the clearance rack gowns, there patrons who look like zombies.   To think I knew of such places even when I arrived and even looked in a little.  Ah, youth.

                                              Now, the nightclub is run by someone named Pepe.  Not only is Pepe a woman; even better she is Grayson Hall, and she plays--what else? --a repressed lesbian.  Too bad she did not make it to playing Mrs., Croft in "The Killing Of Sister George."

                                                 But she is a hoot here.  David felt all the names on the film credits are pseudonyms, so what I wonder is how Grayson got herself involved with this project.  I mean, it is as campy as hell, but, really, it is one step up above sexploitation.  If there had been violence in this, it would have been a hit at the grinder houses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                   This is a riot!  But don't be fooled.  When I heard the title and discovered Grayson Hall was in it, I thought she was the title character. It actually turns out to be Stacy Kane.  Watch how she works her magic, then blithely goes on to her next adventure.

                                                       One can see how the city has changed from this film.

                                                       If only we had this campy part of it back again.

                                                      Has no one a sense of humor in this town anymore???????????

                                                      And I want to wear those gowns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                
 

I Want An "Alice In Wonderland" Dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     With Spring here, I think it would make a lovely inaugural outfit!!!!!!!!!! As for the hair, well, it would require either a custom-made wig, with matching blue hair bow to match, or a trip to Sally Hershberger, to see is she could work some kind of miracle on me.

                                                          The dress itself would have to be custom-made, I am sure, especially if an exact replica of the Disney garment is required.  Not only does the color combo work, but girls, if you need to pass yourself off as a virgin--I know I would, darlings!!!!!!--this is the outfit to do it in.  And, let's face it, the dress is more flattering and attractive than a nun's habit, which would also work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                             I would love to walk into Alice's Teacup for tea, dressed like this.  Heads would turn, I am sure.  Though, in NYC, I would not be surprised if this has been done already.  I think servers there should be required to wear this!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                              But this is a gorgeous way to start the new season.  If I am successful, I will post a picture on here of me dressed as Alice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                Remember, "They're changing guards at Buckingham Palace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                                 

Girls, Join Us Tonight At 8PM As "Svengoolie" Presents "The Mummy's Hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                            Released in 1940, this was Universal's first mummy movie since the 1932 Karloff classic.  It was not as good, but it is entertaining enough and brought to the forefront the characters of Kharis and Princess Ananka!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             For such a film, it has a surprisingly fabulous cast!  Wallace Ford, George Zucco, and Cecil Kellaway!!!!!!!!!!!!  Imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!!   When I heard this was to be aired, I mistakenly thought Lon Chaney, Jr. would be playing Kharis, because he appeared in at least one of the subsequent "Mummy" films.  But this time out, the role is being played by noted Western actor Tom Tyler.  Maybe because more physicality is required here? We will have to find out, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              Svengoolie himself is hosting this week, but I hope The Squad is around, too, especially Nostalgiafferatoo.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 Baby Gojira and Company will be joining us aa well.  So don't miss this showing of a Universal classic, if not a gem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   See you at eight, dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happiness, Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Proserpina Comes Back From Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     Which means, darlings, that, as I was taught, today is the first day of Spring.

                                      Goodbye to one of the nastiest Winters we have had on record.  The one good thing about it was I was given a great opportunity to re-read "Anna Karenina."  What a fabulous experience!  But what about my designer wardrobe?

                                          It suffered, I can tell you, and so did my social life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                         But now, with the coming of Spring, the weather will get warmer, leaves will appear on the trees, flowers will bloom, and more outdoor activities will abound.  Of course, it will not stop me from reading books, and I have some more mammoth ones to get through.

                                            Most important, to some of us, those suffering from SAD--Seasonal Affect Disorder--will have it lift.  Though, for me, April is looming and that is a hard month to get through, for deeply personal reasons, which I am sure I will share on here.

                                              But let us take comfort from the arrival of Spring, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!

                                              The next six months should be sunny and bright!  Let's enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

If I Return To New Orleans, I Wonder What Kind Of Paranormal Experience I Might Have????????????

                           Each time I have visited The Big Easy, girls, I have had a paranormal experience.

                          Back in 2011, when I was last there with David, we were staying at The Monteleone Hotel, where each morning was offered a Continental Breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!  One morning, David had gone down before me.  I had just locked our room door, and was starting out, when I saw what seemed like a silhouetted figure, dressed in 19th Century Southern garb, gliding, not walking down the hall.  I stared at her, transfixed, unsure of what I was seeing.  Then I walked to where I saw her, and the door she seemed to be going to.  No one was there.

                            I am convinced to this day I had seen a ghost.  The Monteleone is known for having many, but I never expected to be one to have a genuine sighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            The first one happened 15 years before, in 1996.  I was touring The Garden District--where I SO want to live, darlings!!!!!!!! alone, and stopped in front of Anne Rice's house, pictured above.  The importance of this house cannot be underestimated, because it is not just the Rice house, but the home of The Mayfair Witches in her masterpiece, "The Witching Hour."  My eyes turned instantly to the right, where I saw an enclosed porch, and the roof and window, from which and onto nasty Carlotta pushed Antha Mayfair, causing her to fall to her death. This after she had clawed out Antha's eyes!!!!!!!!!!  Carlotta wanted to control Antha because then she had the potential to be the most powerful of The Mayfair Witches, and Carlotta was jealous and resentful, being the only Mayfair to have no powers.  That thing!!!!!!!!!!!

                             I could visualize the whole thing in my mind, as I looked.  Poor Antha.  But then...........

                            I turned my eyes to the left and saw the rocking chair Deirdre Mayfair was sitting in at the start of "The Witching Hour."  Only now it was occupied by an attractive older man with piercing eyes.  He motioned me to come near him.  I found myself opening the gate, as if hypnotized. walking up the path, and the steps, until I stood I front of him.  We eyed each other, and he spoke softly to me, asking, "Do you know why you should be happy today?"  I replied, No."  He paused for several seconds, then took his hand and rubbed my cheek, saying, "Because you woke up this morning."  We eyed each other, and then I slowly retreated from the house, closing the gate, and waving to him, as I went on my way.

                             I am convinced to this day the man I spoke to was Julien Mayfair.  I have been marked by The Mayfair Witches, though why I cannot say.  They were not evil all the time, and neither am I--I am hardly evil, though I have some regrets--and they were Catholic, as am I.

                            I feel honored having to have had an encounter with Julien.  So, if I return to NOLA, I am wondering if I will have another paranormal experience, as I have been told I am predisposed to such.

                             I know such things cannot be controlled, but here is whom I hope I see--

                            I would like to make contact with Antha Mayfair, because she is my favorite of all the witches, because though 33 years older, Antha, like me, is a November baby.  She was born on November 21, 1921, and I on November 18, 1954.  I wonder if that establishes a connection between us, being why I am drawn to her.  If I find out, I will tell all on here.

                              But ghosts lurk everywhere in New Orleans.  And I bet if one dug hard enough, they exist in Manhattan.  Or Brooklyn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                           

 

                             

Girls, I Need A Pink Nightie From Frederick's Of Hollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      With the approach of Spring, not only does time change, but also sleep ware.

                                       We girls have to look our best, awake or not.  I mean, suppose a robber breaks in?  Do you want to be caught looking scary or ugly?  On the other hand, it might work, because the ugliness might scare him away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           But really it is important to look one's best at all times of day or night.  And this gown, a rather shocking pink, is the perfect garment for evenings in Spring or Summer.   I can't wait to try mine on.  I still take a petite.

                                              Petite and sweet, that's me!  Do not be caught without owning a garment from Frederick's Of Hollywood.

                                                No self-respecting robber will respect you, if you don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
