OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Image
Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

PECKERWOOD AFTER DARK: High-Five Super-Dive Edition!

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

Image
It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.   

ELECTION-FREE OPEN POST: Everybody Stay Calm!

Image
Who am I kidding, it's a stressful day. My thoughts are with all the US Peckers. Godspeed. And please note, today's Open Post will be a (relatively) peaceful, non-election Open Post for those who very wisely requested it. For election discussions, or anything politics-related today, kindly go to Peckerwood Manor's Election Panic-A-Gogo post . This is a safe space, as the kids say! And now for more kittens. Ahhhh. I feel calm and happy already.

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Crocs For Dogs! Oprah's Favorite Things Includes $125 Oven Mitt...seriously.

Image
  ► First of, a shout-out to the Dlister who said, "Crocs are made in the devil's workshop". I cackle when I think of Crocs. On to our story: Crocs is tag-teaming with Bark, the dog subscription service, to create Crocs For Dogs.  Yes folks, dogs need shoes shaped like a hippo who mated with a clog.  The Croco-Doggo paw wear will cost $50 (unlined) and $65 (lined) and come in 3 sizes, and in 2 colors: Green Slime and Pink Dragon Fruit. But wait...there's more! They also glow in the dark. BTW, if you feel the need to be fashionable alongside your pup, they're selling human versions in the same colors along with charms of popular dog breeds to accessorize your hooves. My only question is: how long would it take for a dog to rip these off?  Read More Comment :  I gotta admit they're kinda cute. But I would never buy them. If I came home with Crocs for Dogs, my dog would think it was a chew toy. She'd take them and  bury them somewhere in the house where I w

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Image
Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
