Double hooray.

It's a Triple Dose of The Kransky Sisters

I am devastated that Kylie US Tour will not be coming to Seattle. If she did...and it were a success. Perhaps other Australians would tour...



Yes. Yes.

It's Kylie's Birthday!!!!

Music for Boys

Happy Birthday, Rosemary Clooney

Here Miss Clooney sings the very first house music song.

Happy Birthday, Joan Collins

Joan Collins turns 76 today. And while she still looks great, there is a portrait of her somewhere, perhaps locked away in a closet, that is a gnarled, twisted and mossy. It's hard to believe that (what's left of) Liz Taylor is only a year older than Joan.

Joan was the queen of high-camp drama.

As Alexis fighting her nemesis Gamera, I mean Krystal.

"What are you doing, you crazy cow?!?"

In the 2001 music video for Badly Drawn Boy's Spitting in the Wind. (Thanks Mitzi)


I don't remember the Cinzano commercials, but there are plenty on youtube. This was my fav.


And then there was this tacky-ass commercial from the 80s.

Happy birthday to one of the great Lucky Bitches (no one could portray Joan like Jennifer Saunders)!

Shame and Hope

My cousin, Ty O. Cobb, is in the Nevada state legislature.

He had the amazing opportunity to be a part of the vote that legalized Domestic Partnerships in the great state of Nevada.

Being a Republican, he voted no. And the lame excuse he gave was that gay people can get many of the same protections allowed married people by having legal paperwork drawn up.

So why should one group of people have to spend tens of thousands of dollars for legal contracts (which can be challenged) vs. any straight couple who can do much more by paying 50 dollars to an Elvis impersonator.

Ty says he supports legislation banning discrimination against gays but is fighting against legislation that would at least give gays in Nevada some of the basic rights straight couples take for granted.

Despite my conservative cousin's vote. the bill passed both houses and goes to the governor who says he will veto it. The assembly is one vote short of overriding the veto.

Nevada's only hope...people like you.

Email my cousin Ty Cobb at the legislature and tell him your story and what this legislation means to you and to its constituents.

Pass this on and plead to others to do the same. You may be the straw that breaks this elephant's back.

Never Kick Your Dog...

And I mean NEVER!

Happy Birthday, Cher!

SPOONS!!! We Need More Spoons!!!

I have to go calm my dogs now. I think they are crying.

Happy Birthday, Tina Fey!

Miss Faye, you are a Goddess. IMHO, you helped burst Ms. Pailing's (sic) bubble and I, for one, thank you.

Proud to Be a Washingtonian!

Gov. expands same-sex rights; stage set for referendum fight
Gov. Chris Gregoire signed a bill Monday that gives same-sex domestic partners all the rights and benefits that Washington state offers married couples. It will take effect at the end of July, unless opponents collect enough signatures to put a referendum on the ballot.

Of course, there are some who feel threatened by our almost-equal rights. There will be a fight. Afterall, an estorm ess a brooing.

Did the 70s Ever Really Happen?

Sassy!

The Cheno Note

Matt posted Kristen Chenoweth singing Glitter and Be Gay on his blog. I love Kristen's voice...and that smile is amazing. Here'a a video of a few Cheno-Notes.

Suc a delightful Diva!

Why Some People Should Not Have Kids, Part 2

Because mom says your friend is a turkey.

May's 12 of 12

Yesterday was the 12th of the month. That is when we celebrate Chad Darnell's 12 of 12, where bloggers all over the world share their day with pictures.

It was a lovely spring day. Here are pix...

This is Charlie, our chinchilla. I get up very early in the morning. The only one who's awake, or at least, is not pretending to be asleep is Charlie.


I forgot my wallet today. I'm so afraid I'm going to get pulled over. To make matters worse, I'm almost out of gas. I have hella-commute. I hope I make it home before the Jeep is dry.


The only think that has made this long commute bearable these past 9 years is that it really is a beautiful drive. Look at how many sailboats are on Lake Union. The Space Needle was out today. How nice.


The clouds to the east are dark. Oh oh. It may rain in Seattle today.

Can't wait. We've been thinking of buying a farmer.

The ferns frawns are frawning.

This is the first year our Chilean fire bush has bloomed. How exciting!!!

We have to speciman magnolias, Both are delighting us with a second burst of blooms.

The lilacs are blooming again. Odd since we planted calla lillies.

Matt made me buy these solar balls. They glow at night and change to all sorts of pretty colors. I like the pretty colors.

We have a gorgeous Floating Cloud maple. It's gorgeous!

Schotzie lets himself out of his cage. He thinks it's really funny and will perch on the top of his cage and laugh at us.

This month's BONUS word is OCD. Nothing says OCD quite like Kali. She's staring at one of her many "please throw me" toys. You want to throw it for her, don't you?

Haven't done a 12 of 12 yet? There will be another 12th next month! I hope to see yours.

A Triple Dose of Amanda Lear

It's to chilly to go camping..or is it?



So what do you think? Amanda Lear...man or woman? Would you believe "she" was Dali's muse?

Happy Mother's Day

A Triple Dose of Björn Again

Björn Again is not just an ABBA/Erasure tribute band...they are hysterical! So what if I was one of the 10 people that bought their CD. They are just plain fun.
"A Little Respect"

"Stop"

"Flashdance"

C'mon guys, I'm waiting for another album!

Did Somebody Say...

Corn?

Goodbye Viola Wills

It's a sad day in Scootersville.
Viola Wills died on Wednesday. Viola performed some of my favorite disco classics. Before I was old enough to sneak into the clubs, I would play her records and her music took me to a wonderful place. I loved her version of Stormy Weather, "If You Could Read My Mind"

and "Up on the Roof"

Goodbye Viola. Thanks for making us dance and for allowing us to take a magical journey.

And It's Made from Corn!

I love wicked spoofs. This first video is a corn-fed commercial about the delights of high-fructose corn syrup.

And now the parody...

It May Still Be a Doris Day...but DON'T Piss Her Off

Now one, and I do mean no one, was as great at reacting on the screen as Doris Day.

She was also a delightfully reactionary dancer, as seen here in, "Do Not Disturb."

So do remember, every day is a Doris Day.

They Seemed Like Great Ads at the Time...

Thank you.

Yummy, tape worms!!!

Ain't Ya Got a Vase?

Stephen Radar posted a picture of Olivia Newton-John on his wonderful blog.
So, I rotated the photo 90 degrees and...I was reminded of Bette Midler's best Sophie Tucker joke...

I'll skip the joke...and just give you the punch line...
"What's the matter with you? Ain't ya gotta vase???"

Happy May Day!
