Happy Birthday, Jonathan Groff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              With just three days to go in his legendary Broadway run of "Just In Time," Mr. Groff, who turns 41 today, has every reason to celebrate.  He is the Toast Of Broadway, and some of us already cannot wait to see him back.  I seriously doubt anyone else can do for this show what Jonathan did, but time will tell.  And maybe prove me right.  If so, you heard it here first.

                              But that does not stop me from wishing Jonathan Groff a wonderful birthday with parties, friends, and whatever he wants to go with it.

                                How many of us looked this good at 41?  Blythe Danner, of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Hearts will be crushed at the Circle In The Square this weekend, as Jonathan bids farewell to a career milestone.

                                  But we know he is not done yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 Happy Birthday, Jonathan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So What Sign Would Look Great On Which Wall?????????????????????????

                           I am certain most of my girls on here know what these are.  They are crucial to the original "Friday The 13th" film, and each has its own importance.

                          The first sign, which is really colorful and pretty, was for when the camp was established in 1935, when, for twenty plus years, it became a destination place for kids.

                           But after Jason Voorhees drowned in the lake in 1957, and that horndog Barry and slut Claudette (who were the original counselors supposed to watch Jason, but did not, and should never have been invited back) were murdered in 1958, the place closed down, more accidents occurred till the locals started calling it Camp Blood.  Someone at the time wrote that word over the sign.

                           Darlings, these signs are fabulous, colorful works of art, and here is what I would do.

                          The original sign should unquestionably go over the living room wall.

                            As for the Camp Blood sign, well it could go in the kitchen, as a sort of tribute to Pamela Voorhees.  But--

                            I think it would look terrific in the bedroom.  What color and excitement it would add to it.

                          But I am telling you, had Barry and Claudette done due diligence, the camp would still be operating.

                           Without flocks of campy movie addicts--myself included--trying to gain entry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              Imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!!  After forty-five years.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Yesterday Was The Annunciation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 It was a big day for Mary yesterday.  I am talking about THE Mary, The Virgin Mother, Queen Of ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  Back in her day, there were no home pregnancy tests.  So, the Angel Gabriel appeared to her personally to tell her not only that she was expecting a baby, but it would be a boy, named Jesus, who would save mankind.

                                    Well, darlings, what could Mary do?  What could she say?  Did she really have a choice?  I mean when the Angel Gabriel appears to you personally saying you are to be the Mother Of God, you pick up your veil and carry on.

                                          Which is just what Mary did, with the greatest of results.  This is a day I missed, but it is so important.  There is another day missed with altogether different importance, but I will reveal that toward the end of the month.

                                               Take a moment, darlings, to reflect on how Mary carried on.

                                              Let us be inspired by her, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 like 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
