OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Remarkable Claire Austin!

By
Image
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...

OPEN POST: The Sunday Roast Featuring Chef Kaga

By

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...

OPEN POST: Geena Davis and her Fish Purse!

By
Image
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

THE ROVING PECKER PRESENTS: "Scribbles From The Manor's Pecker Pets" by D'Hermitage!

By

Greetings, Manor Hors! Periodically, "The Roving Pecker" presents urgent missives from filthy esteemed guest writers. Today's is from D'Hermitage! ------------------------------------- Did you know? The Pets of Peckerwood Manor have long kept secret diaries, and no one has known what they've been writing. Until now! Lucky for you, I stole some pages from a few and can now share their hush-hush scribbles:  FROM THE DIARY OF SCOUT: "Normally, I don’t get unduly agitated before 10am, but I had to attend a funeral last month - mobster related, thus the glamour scarf early in the day. I cannot say more than that. However, there was spaghetti served after the funeral and it must be discussed! The meatballs in it were dee-vine, so I told everyone: 'Look! Bacon!' and a race ensued…in the opposite direction. Thanks for the tip, Nubs (of the House of Baconette). Recall rocks! And spaghetti!" FROM THE DIARY OF ABBIE:  "Me and dad usually play char...

OPEN POST: Featuring This 1938 Cadillac Series 65 Sedan!

By AK
Image
This one looks kind of odd to me. I saw it a while back about a block from my workplace and it's an earlier vintage than I usually see. The finish seems strangely matte (to me, a Caddy needs to be souped-up, glossy and gleaming), but still, it's pretty sweet (if rather bulbous).  In 1938, some of the top films were "Jezebel" (starring the astoundingly talented Bette Davis ), the Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece "The Lady Vanishes," Norma Shearer in "Marie Antionette" and one of the truly most enjoyable films in history, "The Adventures Of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn. And the legendary Ella Fitzgerald had a #1 song that year with "A-Tisket, A-Tasket:" So come on, let's hop in that big boat of a car and hang out at a glamorous nightclub. After all, it's 1938 and it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credit: AK
