This Character Is SO Annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             This is actor Stuart Hicar, and he plays Justin, the store clerk on the Stop And Shop TV commercials.   

                              Now, first let me say, girls, I am happy for Stuart, that, as an actor, he has somewhat of a steady gig.  Actors are lucky to get one.  Who knows; Justin could do for him what Flo did for Stephanie Courteny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             But what he is required to play I cannot stand; so much so that I grimace each time one of these commercials air.

                              Within the workplace culture, there is so worse person that what is politely called "the brown nose;" in more vulgar parlance, "the ass kisser."  That is exactly what Justin is, and he is nauseating to watch.

                                 I mean, doesn't Justin have any life--inner or outer?  I bet he still lives at home in the basement, with his parents, plays video games, and watches straight porno movies because he has not figured out the truth yet.  Oh, and of course, he lives in a suburb, where he drives in one of his parents' cars only five minutes away from his house for a day of work.

                                These are the type of adult offspring who end up killing their parents.  I worry about Justin and his future.

                                 As for Stop And Shop, how many store out there are there, actually?  I remember when it was a Milton Bradley board game.

                                   Bring the game back but leave Justin out of it!  Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls, Join Us Tonight At 8PM, As "Svengoolie" Opens March With A Goodie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             It has been called "motion picture's greatest year."  That was 1939, which produced a lot of my favorites, including "Gone With The Wind," "The Wizard Of Oz," and "Wuthering Heights."

                               But somewhere in this mix is a gem from Universal called "Son Of Frankenstein."  It made history in several ways.

                                 It marked the end of Universal's Frankenstein Trilogy.  It was the last time Boris Karloff played The Monster.  It introduced Bela Lugosi as Ygor, who demonstrated an acting range far beyond that shown in "Dracula."   It had Lionel Atwill as the policeman with the mechanical arm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    And that cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Josephine Hutchinson, Basil Rathbone, Emma Dunn and Donnie Dunagan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     The sets and art direction are superb.  This is one of the last great Universal horror films, and it deserves to be seen.  Especially if it is your first time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Too bad the actress playing the wife was no match for Mae Clarke or Valerie Hobson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                         See you tonight at 8, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!  Baby Gojira And Company will be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See, Girls? I Told You The Golden And Silver Age Of Comics Were Better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look At Doctor Midnite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     He was a member of the Justice Society Of America, on Earth Two, in the 1940's.  Get a load of that costume, the colors, the moon combining with it; this is the kind of detailed artistry one does not see in comics anymore.  An era lost forever.

                                                       Doctor Midnite had been a surgeon, who had been blinded, but developed the super-power to be able to see things in the dark.  Hence, his name.  But, as with all superheroes, especially DC, it was all about the costume, and Doctor Midnite's is just perfect.

                                                           There is, even now, a Doctor Midnite action figure!  I would sure love to have one, wouldn't you?  I have Sun Boy, from The Legion Of Superheroes, and Doctor Fate and The Spectre from the Justice Society Of America.  Wouldn't it be fabulous to have all the action figures from both organizations??????????

                                                             All those costumes!!!!!!!!  All that color!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                           Then I could have my own Superheroes Fashion Show, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geoffrey Beene Has Been Dead For Over Twenty Years! When Alive, He Was America's Heir Apparent To Cecil Beaton! But His Spirit Lives On In These Creations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

                                                                                

                                               Aren't these fabulous, girls????????  It is time to think about Spring fashions, and while there is still talk of Halston, Versace, and others, Geoffrey Beene seems overlooked and neglected.  And with creations like these, he should not be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                 Imagine recreating your life according to the 1948 movie "Easter Parade."  You can actually do that, darlings, by wearing these dresses.  But only in the last one, pictured above, can you dance and sing "When The Midnight Train Leaves For Alabam!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                    Artists should never be overlooked, and I want Beene remembered.  Has The Costume Institute ever done an exhibition on him.  Think about it, ANNA!!!!!!!  And, of course Chloe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

                                                      If only it was Chloe Sevigny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What We Go Through, Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                       Darlings, I am telling you, "Valley Of The Dolls" is the story of us all.  I relate to this scene very well.  I have to take stuff to sleep so, like Neely, I can sparkle enough to write this blog every day.

                         Of course, my drink of choice is coffee, not booze!!!!!!!!!!!  I hardly ever touch the stuff.

                         But I know what Neely is going through.  How many times have I been on a stage where the lighting designer blazes a point so hot I swear he is frying me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  As Neely says, "I SAID I am through for the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                           Not that I would ever abandon my girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  But it is hard to operate at full speed when you are only up to half.  Maybe I SHOULD take some dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            Or, you know what, darlings?  "I'll do the second act first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                            The audience won't care.  They love me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had It With Winter, Girls??????????? Consider These Floral Designs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

                            I finished my fourth reading of "Anna Karenina" two days ago.  It took me 17 days, was worth every word, but I had hoped to finish it earlier.  Now, I have a pile of contemporary books to read before beginning my next mammoth project.

                            Spring is a time of brightening colors and celebrating the creativity of nature, darlings, and I can think of no better way than brightening your room with floral wall designs like these.  You too can have a home resembling the set of a Technicolor Vincente Minnelli movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            The colored, almost three dimensional, flowers in the middle are my favorite, but the white with flowers above would go great in the bedroom.  Oh, dolls, can't you just see it???????????????

                             I would love to decorate this way.  Of course, my designs would have to include some pink!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             "Think Pink," girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"On This Day, In The Year Of Our Lord, 1692, The People Of Whitewood, Massachusetts, Condemned Elizabeth Selwyn As A Witch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                               "Most God-fearing people do not go to Whitewood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                Nor should they, darlings, because a year after her death, Elizabeth Selwyn was seen walking among the graves in the cemetery.  Soon after, the children of the elders who condemned her began dying off, one by one.

                                  Personally, I would love to go to Whitewood, even if I ran into Mrs. Nywles.  I stand a chance, not being a virgin.  But if it is one thing I hate, it is cults, and Selwyn and her group are one of the most dangerous cults out there.  So, I would not desire being recruited.

                                     I mean, what could it give me?  That hair?  That wardrobe?  Who would want it?????  Maybe Elizabeth Selwyn turned to witchcraft because she could not get a date!  People have done less, I am sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        Still, it is fun to celebrate this day.  But if there are any virgins still out there, stay away from Whitewood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                            Where does one find a virgin these days???????????????
