A Pair of Jeans

I like jeans. I wear them all the time.
God bless Denim and all who sail with her.
And Sandra Dee and Tuesday Weld in jeans
Well, that's heaven.

More Balls!

Happy Birthday, Frances Dee

In my humble opinion, Frances Dee was the most
beautiful brunette who ever lived. I realize that
everyone's got their favorite and may not agree.
But she was my favorite, and here she is.
William Holden thought she had the most
beautiful face he had ever seen when he
appeared with her in Meet the Stewarts.


There's a video below (if YouTube is working).

For more information about Frances Dee's life and career,
you can visit Erik Weems' excellent web site,
The Val Lewton B-Unit.

(Whisper) Happy birthday, baby.

Car Girl #2

This is Kelly Preston in a cool dress

with a very cool car in the 1985 movie,

Mischief, which I have never seen.

I checked her out and found that I am

the last person on earth who knew she

was married to that Travolta guy. Silly

me; I should watch more TV. Whatever.

Anyway, she's been in a lot of movies

that I've never seen and been on TV

that I never watch. I've seen Amazon

Women on the Moon (1987) and From Dusk

Till Dawn (1996), but I apparently

missed her. Funny, because I remember

Salma Hayek clearly in From Dusk Till

Dawn. Crystal clearly, in fact. And

I remember the very young Michelle

Pfeiffer quite clearly from Amazon

Women on the Moon. Kelly has her own

website (http://www.kellypreston.com/)

with links to scientology and dianetics.

OH well!

Be that as it may, Kelly Preston

apparently looked outrageously cute

standing in a puddle in a cool dress

next to a great old car 22 years ago.

Here's to being out-of-touch with

Entertainment Tonight and People

magazine and all the rest of that

festering neon distraction.

(Oh, and I see that my page count has

passed the 1,000 mark, which is very

satisfying. I realize that certain blogs

like to get thousands of hits per day,

but I am happy with a thousand total.)

The Wall of Flaming Spaghetti Men

I had this dream. I was in an art gallery, looking
at a painting or something. I don't remember what
it was, but I asked what it was called. And someone
said, "That is The Wall of Flaming Spaghetti Men."
And I woke up. Whewww!
Don't know what it means. Don't really care.
But it's a fine title, very Expressionistical.
Or Post-Modern. Or polymorphously perverse.
Very artsy. So I thought I'd use it for this post.
Throw in a couple photos from my WTF collection.
Presto!

Maybe you're a really, really intense art school
student, maybe hanging around a coffee shop until
your genius is discovered...37 cents in your pocket
...growing pimples and bad teeth...bitching about
your food service job...bored...wishing you were
black or gay or somehow involved or evolving...
anywhere but here...maybe a bigger city. Wishing
you wrote better blank verse. People call your
work "Interesting," but you're tired of being out
of gas money for your broke-ass 1994 Toyota. Yes,
you! You can hurl catsup at a canvas, burn it with
lighter fluid, and call it The Wall of Flaming
Spaghetti Men. And make a million. And have drug
dealers on speed dial. And fret for your latte and
fret for your hairpiece, etc. Whoa! It was just
a dream. Chill!

It's Friday. And this week has been murder.
Really. . .
