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.

OPEN POST: In Praise Of Lola Falana!

Hot-cha! Is there anyone slinkier than Lola Falana? Starting her career in Italy, where she became a major TV and movie star, she was later mentored in the U.S. by Sammy Davis Jr., with whom she had an affair, and exploded like a heaven-sent supernova across Broadway stages and U.S. TV screens in the 70s and 80s. Vegas called, of course, and for a time, she was the city's highest paid performer, dubbed "The First Lady of Vegas." Sadly, she was soon after sidelined by multiple sclerosis in the early 1990s, but at 81 years old, she's still kickin', and in my book, still every inch a star.

Ah hahahahahaha! Or hooray, hurrah, two snaps and a hey! Can you believe Peckerwood Manor is one year old today? We're still here , dammit, and still kickin'.  And here you are, horing and roaring right along with us.  Below, each of us joyously reflect on this, our very first Cake Day. And, yes, we come to you in alphabetical order. Why? Because we learned how to do it in preschool and we're still that cute. § AK (aka ECCE HOMO) :  Ends and beginnings! We were all shocked by the news of DListed's shuttering, but as sad as it was, I was even sadder to think I'd never again hear from everyone I'd come to know in the comments. But Bree stepped right up and created this spot - and Shonali did her part, too, starting  DListed Community (reddit.com) .  I felt so happy that we'd still be able to stay in touch, to chat about our mundane jobs, our happinesses and our (hopefully infrequent) sad times.  The very first post here, seeing all these familiar names and avi

OPEN POST: Peckerwood Field Trip - Finnish Hobby Horse Championships!

By

Welcome to the whimsical world of Finnish hobby horse racing, where madcap enthusiasts prance around with stick-mounted felt horse heads, leaping over obstacles and performing serious dressage routines without falling over, laughing wildly at their own antics. What started as an eccentric pastime has evolved into a serious sport with international recognition. Okay, international might be strong, but it has a following in Scandi countries and my sometimes beloved UK. But let's not kid ourselves, Peckers—it's also a riotously comical spectacle that has captured the interest of niche of equestrian lovers who are too broke to afford a horse, I mean, serious athletes with a love for wood between...like you people. This is why we are taking a field trip to Finland to watch a competition. We might even get raincoaster to suit up and join in, or one of the other Canadians whose own country has a bloodsport called curling.  Wrap your pretty heads around this: centuries ago, people were
