Oh, My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has Alice Ripley Become The New Ghislaine Maxwell Or Allison Mack??????????????????????

                                       Early in my tenure at my former workplace--I was not on the desk when it happened, but I heard later--a little girl, about 10, approached the person sitting at the Info Desk, and said she was "approached" by an older woman in the public ladies room.

                                          This blew my mind, back then.  Female pedophilia, for sure, exists, but this was the first I had heard of  it.  Male pedophilia gets reported all the time.  But the female version either is ignored or hushed--and it should not be.

                                              Which brings me to Alice  Ripley!  Alice Ripley???????????  Yes, Alice  Ripley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She, whom I saw on Broadway in the original production of "Side Show," and as Janet, in a revival of "The Rocky Horror Show," at Circle-In-The-Square, seems to be joining the ranks of Ghislaine Maxwell and  Allison Mack.   Is such a thing possible??????????????

                                                   I would hate, at this point, to conclude it is, but the possiblity, until  the proverbial jury weighs in, has to be considered.  What would motivate a 57 year old  woman to  go after  young girls?  If Alice is a lesbian, why can't she find companionship among her contemporaries?????  She is attractive enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     This is truly upsetting to  me.  Because, no matter how this plays out, the stigma will always be there, so, concering Broadway, it is "Bye, bye, Alice."

                                                       Prove it isn't so, Alice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls, Join Us This Saturday Night, As "Svengoolie" Presents "House Of Horrors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                I have never seen any of the films featuring Rondo Hatton as "The Creeper."  It was not  just make-up, darlings, it was the real thing.

                                                  Born in 1894, would you believe Hatton was voted "Most Handsome  Boy" in his senior class, at Hillsborough High School, in Hillsborough, Florida, where he also excelled at track and football?????????  The quintessential high school golden  boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     He was even a  sportswriter for "The Tampa Tribune."  Henry King, who directed "The Song Of Bernadette" (You better believe it, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!) discovered him, while shooting a film in Tampa called "Hell Harbor," back in 1930, and put him in a small  role. He even appeared in one A-list film, 1943's "The Ox-Bow Incident."

                                                      The golden looks did not last.  During his adult  years,  in the  war,  Hatton developed the disfiguring disease, acromegaly, which gave him his career as "The Creepr."  Talk about luck.  However,  his fame was  iconic, but short lived.  Because the disease debilitates the body, Hatton  died  of a heart attack--not his first--on February 2, 1946.  In fact, the film Svengoolie is showing was made in 1945, but not released till 1946, after Hatton's death.

                                                       So, we will get to see Hatton do his "Creeper" thing, as he goes about murdering artists models, at the command of Martin  Koseleck as Dr. Marcel De Lange, who was also in "She-Wolf Of London," also released in 1946, and recently shown on "Svengoolie."  But he was especially memorable as Professor Peter Bartell in the 1964 horror hoot, "The Flesh Eaters," memorable for  the  giant blob that arises out of the water, engulfing the screen.  You have GOT to see it,  girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                          I hope to see all of  you on Saturday as we share "Horror House."  I don't even know if  Hatton speaks,  so I am curious.  Meanwhile, we have welcomed a new member to our viewing entourage, Norma, The Lion, who was officially welcomed here, earlier, by Baby Gojira!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                            Don't miss out on the fun, girls, and let us hope Sevngoolie sometime shows  "The Flesh Eaters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can You Believe This, Darlings???????????????????

                                 Church statue desecrations and thefts are nothing new.  But over in Flushing, at St. Michael's Catholic  Church, someone went too far, if  you ask me.

                                  And go ahead and ask, because most of  you on here know how devoted I am to not only the film "The Song Of  Beernadette," but the saint herself.  I pray to her often, and wear a medal of  her around my neck, which was purchased in New Orleans.  That's right, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   In the wee hours of this past Tuesday morning, at 3:30AM, some sicko--and I am certain it was a man, knocked over the church's statue of Saint Bernadette, and  broke off her arm!

                                    This  is  an outrage!  To do this to one of the most revered saints.  I hope Jacinta Marto flings lightning bolts, at this guy.    He should be tied to a chair, and forced to watch "The Song Of Bernadette," until he repents.

                                      But, then, I suppose Sister Camille, and yes, Bernadette herself, would wish compassion on this troubled soul.  So, I do recognize that.

                                       However, the very deed makes my boil.

                                      You can bet Jennifer Jones is  pissed,  too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

As Much Fun Old, As When Young, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                There really is a "House On Haunted Hill.  It is Ennis House, built by Frank  Lloyd Wright, and located in Los Aliz, Los Angeles, California.  This was used for the exterior shots of the house.

                                   What you don't know is that the place resemebles my former work place.  On September 23, 1981, when I walked to the Amsterdam Avenue entrance of The New York Public Library Of Performing Arts, at Lincoln Center, my first thought was, "This looks like the 'House On Haunted Hill.'"

                                        Like the film, that impression held up for 35 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        What was clear to  me, this  time around is that both Carol  Ohmart, who played Annabelle Loren, and Carolyn Craig as Nora Manning, were both cast for  their remarkable  lung power, as both scream quite often throughout the film.  How their vocal cords sustained  themselves during the shoot is amazing.   Maybe  they should have tried musical  theater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                             Julie Mitchum--Robert's sister, no less!--as Ruth Bridges, gives the classic Fifties repressed spinster lesbian interpretation.  A woman  with a gambling problem, at that!  And can she drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                               Elisha Cook,  Jr., as Watson Pritchard, steals the show, as does Leona Anderson, as Mrs. Slydes, the housekeeper, and a certain head and skeleton.

                                                  How long have we had such good, clean fun, darlings????????????

                                                  It almost  makes me want to spend a night there.  Oh,  but then  I might feel like  I was back, at  work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never has there been so much fun, darlings....never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Couple Pulled A Fast One On Us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      This post's original title was to be "How Far Gone Is Scarlett?"

                                      Well, that can be forgotten!  Yesterday, I just found out for sure, that she was pregnant, meaning Colin had done his  job, and rammed his swimmers home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                          Today, I find out, on  this very day, that Scarlett gave bith to a baby boy, whom the couple has decided to name  Cosmo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                             Cosmo?  What  is  that all about???????????  One thing--with  parents as gorgeous as these, Cosmo  is sure to be a win-win in the looks department!

                                                And it is about time  this happened.  I knew they would have a child,  and  that it woould be a  boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                  Kiss, kiss,  from all  your fans,  Colin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't This Be Perfect For My Insanity Room, Darlings?????????????????????????

                                         Back on April  4, 2018, I ran a post describing my ideal Insanity Room.  One side wall would have a picture of Myra Hindley, another of Pippa Scott as Lucy in 1956's "The Searchers" screaming, a ceiling  in red and yellow stripes, and the floor painted Flash-like--red background with a thick yellow lightniing bolt, in center.

                                          But after seeing how this iconic  photo of  Janet  Leigh was used, how could I resist????????????  So, I will  have to find some other  use for  that shot of Pippa/Lucy screaming.   How about facing one in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet??????????????????????????

                                          In any case, Janet is  a great decorating device.  I am ashamed I  did  not think of her,  first.

                                           Everyone, at  some point, needs an Insanity Room.

                                          After all, as Norman Bates,  said, "We all  go a little mad, sometimes!"

Get Real, Rocco's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   Those, such as I, who love Bay Ridge, are appalled by Rocco's blatantly anti-vax attitude.  Situated on 94th Street,  and Fourth Avenue, and just seven blocks from a major destination  place, Positano's, Rocco's is in serious danger of losing business, if they don't man up, and vax up.

 

                                    Who do you trash motherfuckers think  you are?  Murderers putting in danger the lives of  those dumb enough to go to you, anyway?

                                      Well, I won't be a part of it, and I am telling readers on here, not to, either.

                                       As for discrimination, if I walked in there, wearing something identifying me as LGQBT, I would be the first one to be thrown out!

                                        This is the 21st Century, dolts!!!!!!!!!!!  Start to realize it!!!!!!!!!!!!
