If we’re talking all time....

I’ve successfully avoided the books, films, and merch to date, but having spent seven years in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, I can attest without doubt that a dystopia in the UAE is redundant.

I get it that all politicians rely on rhetoric, which can involve exaggeration. I also get it that politicians today rely heavily on writers who may or may not be up to doing the hard work of actually checking facts, especially when whatever comes to hand makes a great(-seeming) point. But how is it possible at this…

When I saw these pictures on another site I thought it was Amanda Lepore dressed as Jessica.

Googling “Melanie Daniels costume” proves that there are lots of people out there who decide that a tasteful green suit always goes better with a trickle of blood and a grackle in your blonde wig.

The colors, and the solids, and the big shapes of her clothes and especially her hats are also because it makes her easier to be seen in crowds (more generally, not just security, although I’m sure it does that, too) by all who come out to do so. She’s been known to lament that she can never wear beige.

I had open heart last February (quad bypass, thank you very much), and I cannot imagine recovering without someone to take care of me, physically and emotionally. The operation is devastating, and then after maybe six days in a cardiac ICU, you’re discharged. That’s it. You’ve got a seam running from the top of your…

One major difference between them - and it may make a difference in sales, particular of any repeat market if there is one - is that Celine is really a natural live entertainer and Britney, beyond a certain basic dance competency (which she doesn’t seem to be able to summon up consistently), isn’t. Because my husband…

If you can’t see the differences between Republicans and Democrats, you don’t have a vagina.

Only because it seems right for both the house and the time of year, how about a little Shirley Jackson?

Real talk. Barbara Bush is the most saavy Bush there is. That broad is terrifying and also very badass.

When you are spurned so thoroughly by an institution in which you have placed so much of yourself, it can break you to the extent that you lose your beliefs.

It has the unnerving effect of making her look like a highly idealized drawing of a 35 year old.

Ah, youth, indeed - saw it some 50+ times at the old TLA in Philadelphia, 1979-87 or so.

I WAS WONDERING THE SAME DAMN THING.

Hey, there - respect. The woman is 82. Once you pass 60 or so, you know you’re going to outlive people. And she’s working, probably (just because she wants to keep living like Joan Collins) because she needs to. And she looks fabulous.

There are very few images, but the ones that have been smuggled out are as bad or worse as one’s imagination paints them. This one’s less heartbreaking than most.

Oh god. We all know this is going to end up in so many abandoned children...

Yup, as far as I’m concerned, YouTube is for old B movies, episodes of What’s My Line?, and fabulously tacky musical numbers from old Egyptian movies and The Hollywood Palace. Personalities? No, thank you.
