OPEN POST: Oh, My Candida!

Image
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the 70s are seventies'ing. So let's watch some "Sanford and Son," or maybe "Chico and The Man." Or we could hot-wire a Cadillac (everyone on TV does it, so how hard can it be?), cruise around town and play the radio with the windows rolled down. Tony Orlando and Dawn have a #1 hit with "Tie A Yellow Ribbon," but my favorite song of theirs is this one: Tony's a hot hunk and I'd deflate his projectile in nothing flat, but oddly enough I'm much more entranced with Dawn--they're so beautiful and glamorous, and those outfits, and those MOVES: I dream to be one TENTH as exciting as Dawn. It'll never happen, but I'll have fun trying! Happy Open Post, darlings, be as glamorous as you like here!

  Here's Aaron Taylor-Johnson with his "grandwife" (heard the term and had to use it!), Sam Taylor-Johnson, out and about in NYC. The two shared a romantic kiss in these totally candid photos! Aaron was recently photographed taking a cheerful walk with his Netflix show co-star, Riley Keough, the other day. Sam's death stare in the top photo seems to be an effort to shut down any rumours about Riley taking her victim man!  Source: TMZ

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Fabulous Betty Wright!

Image
Welcome, music hors, to another edition of Manor Music Monday, and the first in November after the you-know-what tsunami or shellacking or spanking or whatever you want to call it. All DJ Li'l Scratch knows is that a lot more people are out clubbing, dancing and slipping him prime 'nip. Is DJ Li'l Scratch high? Let's put it this way; that scratching post in the DJ booth has been decimated, m'k?  Meanwhile, did you know? This past Tuesday, it was our nation's Black Queens who once again helped  save the day . Have you thanked your neighborhood's Black Queens today? Speaking of queens, the songstress below was long known as Miami's Queen of Soul, and tonight, at the Manor's "Black Pearl" lounge and dinette, DJ Li'l Scratch will be spinning her irresistible tunes all night long.  Yes, it's Betty Wright, and her electrifying "Live" LP may have been recorded over thirty years ago, but make no mistake, it sounds as urgent and f...

OPEN POST: The Sunday Roast featuring Carnacki, the Ghost Finder!

Image
Getty There's a helluva job title, eh? Consulting Detective Sherlock Holmes has inspired a myriad of imitators, but among them Carnacki stands out as both a highly effective literary character AND the one most likely to really piss off Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle didn't like it when people didn't take woo-woo seriously; he was very into woo-woo, was old Sir A. William Hope Hodgson, the author who created Carnacki, was not, and insisted on bring a lens of pure, relentless logic to the supernatural. The only difference between him and skeptics is that, for the purposes of his fiction, he assumed the supernatural to  be real, and to be governed by laws only too poorly understood by the mainstream, and even by spiritualists, whom he considered sentimental, maudlin, and tacky.  Carnacki, though, was a ghost detective.  Oh, he wasn't a ghost himself, though had he ever been real he might be one right now. No, nor was he like those modern paranormal "researchers" w...

OPEN POST: Blake Lively's UTI

Image
 Friends, hors, countrypeople (and city dwellers too), do you remember when you were little and your parents taught you how to get dressed in the morning? Do you remember them saying you had to wear a new, clean pair of underwear Every Single Day (socks too!)? Blake Lively doesn't.    Gotham/Getty & Gotham/Getty Images That is her, two days in a row at the Tribeca Film Festival. Day one, she wore her Versace underwear with the waistband showing ostentatiously. Too bad for her New York is full of fashionistas who called her out for wearing them inside out; the black is supposed to be on the inside! The next day she wore the same outfit, with the same ostentatiously displayed undergotchies, but this time the right way out.  WHO DOES THIS? WHO WEARS THE SAME UNDERWEAR TWO DAYS IN A ROW???
