OPEN POST: For the Love of Bangs and Then There's Mamie

By

Many have tried, and many have failed, to bang correctly. No, you filthy strumpet, I mean bangs, as in the hairstyle. It is a bold choice because growing them out takes enormous fortitude and a fuck load of strength. There is one woman, however, a doyenne, a goddess, a devotee of bangs, and that is Mamie Doud, aka Madame Eisenhower. 

Oh, this bangs angel found her luxuriant bang style, and she was not giving them up. Age be damned. Baby bangs 4'ever! That was her mantra, her manifesto, her battle cry. These bangs were a comfort through good times and bad; when life's highs and lows took Mamie asunder, a quick check, and she could calm herself with the knowledge that they were still there and carefully shellacked with a slight curl to her high, very high on her forehead. 

Let's take a stroll down Bang Avenue with a few examples of the ones that tried to be Mamie, but no, they can't pull off a baby bang, not like our Mamie. 

Nice try, Courtney, enchanting even, but you are no Mamie.

Jean Brooks looking like bangs are her life force, but is she
committed to the bang, or is this just for a movie? I say, Mamie, 
she is not. 

No, m'lady, but I think Mamie would appreciate the effort.

Some extra Mamie with her squeeze Dwight on her wedding day and Mamie working the hell out of the ruffle collar. All this pre-bang, but you can just tell one day, she will become a legend.

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...
