The Actors Are Striking, Or The Nanny Will Cut A Bitch!

By

There ain't no wrath like the wrath of an actor ignored, and yesterday, SAG President, Fran Drescher - sporting a bold, "I'm totally serious, you guys" look with no make-up, her hair disheveled - called for SAG actors to strike against AMPTP,  or the Producers, streamers and major studios 

Hilariously, AMPTP reps, including Disney's head honcho, Robert I. Iger, are calling SAG's demands "unrealistic," even though Iger is taking home over 20 million a year in compensation, and that's without hefty bonuses. "Let them eat Mickey's ass," he may as well say, since everyone knows Goofy's cakes are messy.


Also, guess who's being notably cool, and sometimes outright silent, about the strike? Democratic politicians, you silly, like California governor Gavin Newson, all of whom rely on big donations from AMPTP's fat cats, including their fundraising events thrown by producers, such as Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. "Whatever. It's not like schools are closed or buses aren't running," quipped an unnamed politician. Note to self: politicians are not good at quips. They need writers. Oh, wait. 


Thankfully, Susan Sarandon, also sporting an "I'm totally serious, you guys!" look, is there on the frontlines today. Just don't tell her that Debra Messing is also walking the walk. That's a fight no one wants to see.

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
