Greetings, music sloots and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday! Today we have a beautiful-sounding mystery, because unlike so many music performers, past or present, there's virtually nothing to be found out about this one-of-a-kind jazz songstress on the internet - which, no matter your background or era, is pretty hard to do these days. And these days? We really need her.  Yes, we desperately need the dulcet tones from a singer who's been there and back. In fact, we need Cora Lee Day (center in the photo above), a noted actress who had a late-career renaissance in "What's Love Got To Do With It?" and the compelling  "Daughter's Of The Dust," for which she should have received an Academy Award (or at least a nomination) (but I digress) (as I'm wont to do). Born in 1914, many claim that she first worked as a model in New York City. This isn't hard  to believe, since she was stunning to look at and quite tall. Somehow, she next ...

Did you know there are over a thousand days left  until Trump's 2nd Presidential term is over? Holy fuckballs, I'm barely hanging on.  But there have been a few amusements this week (it's fun to see the RepubliKKKans squirm !), as well as a few horrifying  opinions and even more horrifying revelations. There's also the notion, with respect to the Democrats caving on the shutdown, that they might have lost the fight, but hey, they  won the war . Really? I'm not so sure, but like everything else these days, or so it seems, we'll learn the truth at the midterms.  Speaking of the all-important midterms, which many regard as the one thing that can save us from our MAGA nightmare, I'm having a creeping sense of Mueller-ism. You know Mueller, don't you? The guy whose 2017 Special Council was supposed to take down and destroy Trump once and for all? Yeah . We need more than potentially false hope . Where's the backup plan for the backup plan? Did I mention...

I don't post about the koven because ugh. But I couldn't resist this one because it is an ensemble. Speaking of ensembles. Why expose sweet little puppies to this Look At Me Bitch dressed like she's going yachting in Montenegro with her Russian oligarch thug? She, of course, is bearing silicone orbs because she's a whore whose expiration date was yesterday, 2022. 

Can you find them? Did you lose them?  Years ago, I had the absolute best pair of Vuarnet sunglasses with cobalt blue frames and left them at a trick's place one afternoon. I called him the next day and he swore he couldn't find them anywhere. Bitch was wearing them a week or so later in Fire Island, but claimed he bought them on his own because he admired mine. Lies, lies, and more lies.  What is - or was - your favorite pair? Post a pic so we can see!

Here's Shakira in pastel purple at the Zootopia 2 premiere in LA last night. The singer stars in the film as Gazelle and has also written a new song for it called "Zoo." The dress is designed by Stella McCartney. What do you think of this look, Peckers? I think Shakira looks beautiful and the colour suits her quite nicely. Source: Shakira on instagram
