I saw this car quite a while back, driving up the hill from the beach and I remember thinking, "That's not really an old car, it's a fake old car," and I guess I was right. Apparently it was a 1983 Zimmer Golden Spirit Limited Edition. In 1983 there was a ton of great books, tv shows and movies, including the monster hit "Flashdance" ... ...which starred the luminous Ms. Jennifer Beals and had a killer soundtrack, including this smash hit by the divine Ms. Irene Cara (I love the video because you can see how much she loved singing and dancing). La Cara, you were magnificent: She was Solid Gold, as are all of you, so let's all have a Solid Gold afternoon. After all, it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credit: AK

Greetings music sloots, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, Hotsy-Totsy Late Summer Edition! It's that time of year when we all need to be sitting on our porch or by the pool, preferably with a nice cool mint julep , and definitely with some cool jazz playing at just the right volume; not too loud, not too soft, but just noisy enough to wrap around you like a balmy breeze.  If you're up later, you really should slink over to the Manor's "Pump it Down!" after-hours lounge and dinette, because DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing some fine summer jazz by a swoon-worthy, yet forgotten, jazz bird, Claire Austin. Not much is known about her, or at least not that I could find out. A busy nightclub singer on the West Coast from the 1930s to the early 1950s, Claire cut only a few LPs, then - poof! - all but vanished from public consciousness. What makes Claire still interesting and her music worth listening to are all those giants of West Coast jazz that...

Do you remember your first Japanese crush? Was it an early manga, perhaps Jason or (edgier) Mark from GForce ? I remember mine.  Who could forget him? Berkley Publishing Group And he wasn't even Japanese. He was Filipino actor Mark Dacascos , who dominated the Iron Chef theatre in North America, as a dramatic, sensual, and invigorating host. For a man whose whole job is to pull a blanket off mostly vegetables, he's managed to make it a pretty sexy gig.  Mixed Asian Media The myth of the American show is that it's a relative of the Japanese OG. The chairman announces the start of each battle with: "So now America, with an open heart and empty stomach, I say unto you in the words of my uncle : 'Allez cuisine!'" And allez they do, although really the money shot has been spent, Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. The Big Reveal is key, and frankly, all the rest is fallout. But occasionally there's an upset worth hanging on for.  Instead of fortune t...

Credit: Getty Here's Geena Davis at the The Wrong Girls premiere this Thursday in Los Angeles. The 70(!)-year old actor plays the partner of Kate McKinnon's Dr. Olsen, who created an experimental telepathic drug the main characters of the movie discover. But nevermind all that. The REAL star of this show is Davis's amazing fish purse. Why does she have it? Where did it come from? Does it sing, like those bass plaques we all bought our dads in the 90s? It looks perfectly at home in Geena's arms. She looks amazing! Sources: InStyle, NEON Rated
