JOAN'S KITCHEN



I ALWAYS THINK OF THIS WHEN THE 
SUBJECT OF CRAWFORD'S KITCHEN COMES UP.

FOR MR. MAGO



Dear Mago requested some snaps of Mouse & Alvy 
and I am only too happy to accommodate his request!


Out of the last three shows that Alvy's been entered in, 
he's managed to get a BOB (Best of Breed) in each one of them! 

Pretty darn nice.



As for Mr. Mouse, he just gets to stay home and be adorable. 
And Bark.

REVELATION



Yes, Muscato & Jason 
(who commented at precisely the same moment) are correct. 
This is in fact the once magnificent Claudia Cardinale.




I know I'm shallow, but when I came upon that current shot, 
it floored me. I recall a old friend telling me that Italians don't age well. I feel I may have begged to differ with him, but in this case...
***
Of course, I do give dear Claudia a standing 
ovation for letting time cum all over her and she 
resisting the urge to wipe that time off.

OKAY PEOPLE, WEIGH IN




I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SCROLLING MY FARTBOOK WALL, BUT ALAS I WAS AND THIS QUESTION WAS PRESENTED TO ME. I WASN'T IN A MOOD TO COMPOSE SOME WITTY RETORT AND SIMPLY POSTED, 

"THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION." 

WELL, YOU CAN IMAGINE THE SHITSTORM THAT ENSUED.

DEAR READERS, YOUR OPINIONS?

EVEN MORE OBITUARIES




COULD WE EVEN MAKE UP HIS NAME?


RUBY JUST LOOKS SO PLEASED THAT 
SOMEONE PLUNKED THAT WIG ON HER HEAD.


EASY IN...EASY OUT



CERTAINLY A NAME YOU'D COVET.



WONDER IF HE SMOKED CAMELS?

WHILE WATCHING MAD MEN,

IT'S A STRETCH, SO STAY LOOSE.

GAME OF GNOMES





Yesterday, while exiting the always delightful Cub Foods in the scintillating ghetto,
I was met by an hysterical lady dwarf who exclaimed,
"Mister, please, can you help me...I'm stranded!"


It had never occurred to me that the trolls that inhabit
this store do in fact look like Lannisters & Starks.

Jacqueline Brookes 1930-2013



Like this link of yore, Jacqueline is yet another face
we often saw on television or in a film.

Spotted her obit today. Not a news item, just a paid notice.


I scrutinized her credits at imdb and none of her roles 
particularly stood out to me, but I always recognized her and her unique voice. 
Not warm & fuzzy, maybe even a bit patrician, but it made her stand out.






SOLEMN SUNDAY OBITUARIES

MYSTERY GUEST/GIFT


RECEIVED A DARLING LITTLE MAGAZINE TODAY FROM A DEVOTED FRIEND. SHE SAW THIS IN THE SUPERMARKET AND IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF ME.


AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S PUBLISHED BY THAT ESTEEMED HOUSE, GLOBE.

THE PAGES ARE FILLED WITH FUN PHOTOS AND FACTS ABOUT DODO'S LIFE. NEARING THE END, THERE ARE TWO PAGES DEVOTED TO FACTS ABOUT DORIS WE DIDN'T KNOW. HERE'S PAGE ONE...


AND HERE'S PAGE TWO...


WANNA TELL ME WHO THIS IS? 

(I KNOW, BUT I'M GETTING SOME FLACK FROM SOME FLOUNDERS)
