OPEN POST: In the Age of Oversharing, Kelly Clarkson's Overshare

By

Some fans or those made aware of this habit think it might just be Kelly being nasty. Maybe. That is for you to judge. I already harshly judged it and felt suddenly transported into the body of Emily Post mixed with A Victorian Dowager with a sprinkling of Miss Manners. I am well aware that we all have different shower habits; for some people, the shower doubles as the place to do everything they can to save a few precious minutes. 

In my life, showers are simply a place to wash my body and hair, wash my partner's body, or for slutty sexy times. For Kelly, it is an all-in-one experience. Personally, that is something that made me shake my head and question her need to profess this to the world. Why must you, Kelly? What compels thee? The same obtuse brain glitch that made Jennifer Lawrence tell the universe that she's urinated in sinks? Now Kelly lets us know to steer clear of her showers. 

We undoubtedly live in an age where oversharing is the norm. People have all sorts of TMI that they must, have to, are dying to get off their chests. It is like a form of social therapy, but one or two confessions become an avalanche for some, and they can't stop. Kelly tries very hard to be one of the common folk and some people love her for it. I am not one of those people. 

If anyone does that in a manor sink you will be evicted and sent to purgatory, where you will be forced to listen to country music from 2005 on a loop while being deep tongue kissed by George Santos and Clarence Thomas in an unholy human sandwich.

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
