OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Bewitching Pat Healy!

Image
Greetings, Manor slutinos, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, a day which is frosty and cold for most of you, so tonight, at "Box Job!", the Manor's exclusive after-hours nightery, only hot libations will be served, including Irish Coffee, Mulled Wine and my favorite, Spiked Hot Chocolate. Even better, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing tunes by a mesmerizing one-LP wonder, or a talented jazz songstress who scored a single LP deal, lots of club dates, and then moved on to a second life - in this case one just as interesting as the first. From the daughter of a speakeasy-singing mother to West Coast jazz crooner to successful, politically-active hippie restaurateur, Pat Healy lived many lives. Born in 1927, wee infant Pat was sometimes left to sleep in a dresser drawer at home while her mother sang and performed all night long at speakeasies and nightclubs in Cleveland, Ohio. Yet later, little Pat accompanied her. Is it any wonder she wanted to become ...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 02/09/2026!

Image
The ongoing revelations from The Epstein Files are shocking to many, but to some, it's merely confirming what's already been known for decades about its many boldface names, including Trump, of course, his wife-in-name Melania, and Jeffrey Epstein's pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell. After all, Jeffrey was investigated for under-age sexual assault and sex trafficking in 2005, indicted in 2006, and walked scott-free in 2007 with a slap on the wrist, or what was called the "deal of the century," in which he served no jail time for pleading guilty to two felony prostitution-related charges. The deal required him to register as a sex offender. So people knew. Especially all those bold-face names who continued to party with him at various locales, including the notorious "Epstein Island."  Yet it's Hilary and Bill Clinton who'll soon come under fire in closed door depositions they're required to give the federal government in a Republican-led probe later th...

OPEN POST: American Gay History Is Being Made!

Image
Gay history is being made as we speak - or rather, American gay history, which is an important distinction. More on that in a sec. First, as you may know, "Heated Rivalry," a 6-part Canadian series about two closeted gay hockey players, appeared seemingly out of nowhere on North American TV screens this past November. Connor Storrie, a previously unknown, 25 year-old American actor, and Hudson Williams, a little-known Korean-Canadian actor one-year younger, are its stars. To say that audiences swooned is a vast understatement. Almost instantly, the show became a ratings bonanza and a genuine cultural phenomenon.  So far so interesting, but with just as much immediacy, magazine pictures and videos of Connor began appearing, and it became crystal-clear that his real-life persona was vastly different from the tough, manly-man Russian hunk he played on the series. He was unquestionably gay - even if he declined to answer questions about his orientation - or someone you might rega...

Saturday is Caturday! Favorite Catwoman? Here are the Contenders.

  I wish I could be constantly flanked by two gay men in tiger jackets.  Michelle P. Always that face. Beauty.  Anne H. I still don't know why people hate her. I don't. She's fine to me.(shrug) I believe Eartha Kitt was actually part Tigeress. I have an article about her to publish, but it needs editing. If I were as bold as she was, I would scare my own damn self, and I am no shrinking violet.  Zzzzzzzzoe Kravitz, I am suddenly desperate for a nap.  Lee Merriweather, I am unfamiliar with her version, but the flip is cute.  Lili Simmons I never watched Gotham.  The platform glitched and wouldn't let me put a caption under Halle. Her skin looked good. Or the fabulous Julie Newmar. She is probably the best known TV version.  Since I am always impressed by women who command the atmosphere around them, my choice is Eartha. I love fearless bitches who don't apologize for being complicated and outspoken. She wrestled with life like a ninja and walked ta...

OPEN POST: Mariah Carey's Teleprompter

Image
The 2026 Winter Olympics kicked off last night in Italy, and Mariah Carey performed at the opening ceremony. The 56-year old diva's rendition of Domenico Modugno's 1958 song Volare  received mixed reviews. Many in the audience claimed she was lip-syncing, and they were amused at the phonetic spelling of the lyrics on her teleprompter. Surely there is an Italian singer who could have performed the famous song? What she lacked in enthusiasm, she made up for in glamour: Carey wore this Roberto Cavalli dress and $15 million in diamond jewelry. How bell-eee-see-mah!

   ► The Westminster Kennel Show crowned a new winner. The new HBIC is Penny, a beautiful Doberman. Penny is 4 years old and hails from Reseda, California. When asked to comment on her victory, Penny said, "arf, bow-wow, grrr, bow-wow-wow."  Translation: "I won bitches!". Her favorite hobbies are long walks on the beach, giving her owner the evil eye when dinner is late, and trash talking at the dog park. Wait a sec...those are MY dog's favorite past times. Penny had some fierce competition that included:  Read More Graham - Old English Sheep Dog JJ - Lhasa Apso Cookie - Maltese Zaida - Afghan Hound Cota - Chesapeake Bay Retriever Wager - Smooth Fox Terrier Penny, the winner of Best in Show at Westminster.

OPEN POST: Is This A Bonnie & Clyde Mobile?

Image
Just saw this beaut today when I pulled into the nearby Walgreens parking lot, which is not a glamorous area of town. Are those bullet holes? I don't know cars of this vintage very well - I'm more used to 1950s vehicles, with soaring fins and gleaming chromium - but I think it's a 1929 Ford Model A. That's what I'm going with, anyway. 1929 was pretty momentous (Black Friday and the ensuing Great Depression), but not all the news was bad. "Hallelujah," the first Hollywood film with an all-Black cast, was released:  Also, "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" came out and was a gigantic hit. It starred almost every actor on the MGM lot and featured a cheerful little ditty called "Singin' In The Rain."  It's been covered dozens of times, most famously in the 1952 film of the same name, "Singin' In The Rain," possibly the greatest musical of all time. Whatever kind of Wednesday you're having, whether it's sunny as blaz...
