OPEN POST: With Joan Crawford's Banned Love Boat Episode!

By AK

In 1978, The Love Boat was surfing the waves as the #1 show on ABC, just as Joan was still the #1 star in Hollywood, so it's easy to understand why she was cast as Julie McCoy's little sister in this episode. 

However, poor Joan was unaccustomed to the hectic pace of episodic television, so she started hitting the vodka early and by 8am she was thoroughly plastered. When she met the young actress who played Vicki Stubing she snarled at the producer "Who let this dwarf on the set? Is this a remake of 'The Wizard Of Oz?!'"

However her morale improved when she met the actor who played Isaac.


After giving him an appreciative up and down with her eyes (focusing on the bulge below his belt) she purred "So...Isaac, is it true what they say about...BARTENDERS?"

Isaac's response:


So yes, it was a rather fraught experience for everyone involved. In fact, at the end-of-filming party the slightly tipsy Miss Crawford started fiddling with Gavin MacLeod's belt, saying "C'mon Stubing, let's see the captain's log!"


Suffice it to say, La Crawford left every man on the set weak and begging for more. Unfortunately, the episode bordered on pornographic and was never shown on network television, just like her disastrous appearance on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood:


Happy Open Post, and let's all try to be even half as exciting as Joan!

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...
