Open Post: Hurry Up And SLOW. DOWN. With This Kicky '66 Thunderbird!

By AK
Image
Sometimes it feels like things are happening too fast, that the news cycles are accelerating before we can even process what happened in the first place. But you owe it to yourself to take it easy. You deserve it! Look, whether it's 1966 or 2026, lots of stuff's been going on, but we'll weather whatever the world has to throw our way, we always do. And speaking of...in 1966 the Oscars were televised in color for the first time , as well as the first and only color episode of the original Perry Mason series, "The Case of the Twice-Told Twist:"  I've never drag-raced (or raced in drag). I'd much rather take a nice leisurely drive along the shore in this '66 Thunderbird. There's some things you just can't hurry--the Supremes know what I mean: Happy Open Post, darlings!

OPEN POST: Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain

By

Credit: A24/EW This August, A24 will be releasing their biopic on Anthony Bourdain. Tony , which is directed by Matt Johnson, and is expected to focus on Bourdain's early culinary experiences in 1976 during his time in Provincetown, Mass.  Dominic Sessa, who rose to fame after his breakout role in The Holdovers,  will play young Bourdain. Other stars on the cast include Antonio Banderas, Emilia Jones and Rich Sommer. This kind of biopic seems like something Bourdain would probably not approve of. But you can't tell that to Hollywood! Will you be checking out Tony this summer?  Credit: World of Reel

OPEN POST: Music Manor Monday With The Powerful Miss Toni Fisher!

By

Greetings music lovers, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, this entry being, I hope, a brassy antidote to the mess that has become The Met Ball, or the East Coast's most famous Jerk Parade, tonight with Extra Jerk and Tupperware Titays (with apologies to dearly departed Tupperware). Can anything work to counter this gory dumpster fire of tacky, mess and blurgh? DJ Li'l Scratch believes so, and tonight at the Manor's exclusive after hours club, "Huh? Wha? I'll Have That With Sloppy Oral," he'll by spinning delicious tunes by a brassy singer you're guaranteed to be delighted by. Yes, it's Miss Toni Fisher, a performer who's giving us serious "growl, snarl, snap" above. Don't mess with Miss Toni amirite? Her time in the spotlight was brief. She was a Hollywood nightclub singer for only five years, recorded just one LP - 1960's "The Big Hurt" - and scored only two Top 40 hits, the first one being ...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 05/04/2026

By
Image
John Lewis marched and bled so The Voting Rights Act could become law. Hundreds more died. But John Roberts and his largely racist, Republican Supreme Court have destroyed Lewis' legacy - and demolished The Voting Rights Act.   American democracy may never recover. This is not hyperbole. Years ago, when Roberts was about to be appointed to the Supreme Court, Lewis warned us:  "Under Roberts, I feel that the leadership of the Court will promote politics over the protection of individual rights and liberties. Roberts may be a brilliant lawyer, but I wonder whether he can really understand the depth of what it took to get the Voting Rights Act passed. The right to vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democratic society. Roberts's memos reveal him to be hostile towards civil rights, affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act. He has even said that Voting Rights Act violations, and I quote, 'should not be made too easy to ...

OPEN POST: With That Tacky-Ass Free Magazine From Your Elementary School!

By
Image
If you were tiny in the 1970s, 80s or early 90s, you were likely subjected to "Dynamite," a tacky-ass free magazine distributed to elementary school kids nationwide starting in kindergarten, as well as at children's doctors offices, or really any place with which to reach a pre-teen audience. Why tacky-ass? Because it was essentially a massive nationwide free advertising vehicle, which pushed the likes of "Shields and Yarnell," for example, a sub-par network variety show starring married mime performers. And really, who else would give this forgettable Vegas act a nationwide magazine cover but "Dynamite," much less the here today/gone tomorrow actor who played Juan on "Welcome Back Kotter?" I said what I said.  The magazine also included half-hearted  tricks, games and contests, but the focus was mostly on what was later called "advertorial content." Again, this was distributed in elementary schools. When it wasn't trying to pu...

OPEN POST: Hosted by Chonkers the Sea Lion

By
Image
Credit: ABC7 News Visitors of San Francisco's iconic Pier 39 have been dazzled lately by Chonkers, an estimated 2,000lb sea lion. The pier is a popular destination for sea lions because it is protected from predators and crashing waves while also providing an expansive buffet of fish.  Chonkers is believed to have come from up north off the coast of Oregon or Washington and was first spotted in San Francisco last month. Since his arrival, he has captured the hearts of San Franciscans and visitors alike, who flock to the pier in hopes of catching a glimpse of this mammoth beauty. Chonkers typically enjoys breakfast there but is trickier to pin down later in the day.  Chonkers is certainly hard to miss, as he is quite a bit larger than his sea lion brethren. That just means there's more to love! Credit: AP Photo/Haven Daley Source: AP News

THE ROVING PECKER PRESENTS: "An Ode To 1980s Camp - And Beyond" by GlamourDoll!

By
Image
(source: Paramount Pictures) Greetings, Manor Hors! Periodically, "The Roving Pecker" presents urgent missives from filthy esteemed guest writers. Today's is from GlamourDoll! What exactly is "camp"? Wikipedia defines it as: "an aesthetic and sensibility that regards something as appealing or amusing because of its heightened level of artifice, affectation and exaggeration, especially when there is also a playful or ironic element." In other words: too much... but in the best possible way. The term itself dates back to late 1800s Victorian times. Fanny Park (Frederick) and Stella Boulton (Ernest), both born male, performed in drag and lived as women both on and off stage. They were arrested in 1870 for "conspiring and inciting persons to commit an unnatural offence" (Victorians were, unsurprisingly, no fun), but were ultimately acquitted. In a letter, Fanny described her “campish undertakings,” giving us one of the earliest recorded uses of ...
