Open Post: Presented In Monochrome

Image
There's just something about B&W photography that pulls you in. It's like the absence of color frees us to appreciate the contrast of light and dark and varying textures. My phone's Gurgle alerts randomly show me all sorts of fun, sometimes odd, but usually fascinating links to click on about art, history, politics and local news. Recently, it showed me THIS ONE.  I've occasionally turned color photographs to B&W on IG and it really switches things up. Like this one, which is on the road leading down to the beach near me: The only thing that's never in shades of gray is this simple fact: this is Open Post and all color schemes are welcome. Have fun, darlings! Photos: via 123clicks

OPEN POST: Cynthia Erivo in NYC

Image
Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty In what feels like an endless press cycle for Wicked: For Good , Cynthia Erivo arrived at the NYC premiere of the film last night wearing custom Balenciaga. I am enjoying the more fun fashion we've been seeing from Erivo lately and this look feels very fitting for the movie.  Will you be checking out Wicked: For Good ?

Who is October's Shitbag of the Month?

Image
Credit: Katy Perry/instagram First up is Katy Perry. While she's had an eventful month out on the town with Justin Trudeau, she caught some flak for her behaviour at her birthday party as well. Perry celebrated her 41st birthday while on her "Lifetimes" tour, and her crew presented her with a large sheet cake decked out with candles for the occasion. After blowing out the candles, the singer then picked up the cake and launched it a crew member. It missed, and landed on the floor. Her crew laughed it off and some even ate pieces of it off the floor. However, more sensitive X users shamed Perry for being so wasteful and disrespectful to her team. Credit: Hulu Our second Shitbag is Kim Kardashian. While the washed-up socialite manages to piss people off monthly for one reason or another, this month she was criticized for providing Israeli orphans with a shopping spree at SKIMS. The Israel-Palestine conflict is naturally a hot button issue for people, and Kim seemingly givin...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Cora Lee Day!

Image
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 ...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 11/17/25

Image
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. 

OPEN POST: Show Us Your Absolute Favorite Sunglasses!

Image
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!
