OPEN POST: Perm Glamour!

By

Hey, boos! It's poll time: how many of you glamorous hookers had a perm back in the 80s? Haha, just kidding, I already know we ALL did. And we all worked that perm magic right in our very own bathrooms, too. I can still remember the migraine-inducing smell - beauty is pain, afterall. And weren't we GORGEOUS?! Don't forget all the shit we put in our mops to keep those dazzling curls, too - Perma Soft, anyone? What was your favorite at-home perm kit and/or products?

OPEN POST: You Decide! Who's Particularly Popular With Subpar Skills?

Wheeeeeee! Let's play a game! Post a picture of someone whom you believe is unduly popular and well-paid given their wee amount of talent. And it doesn't even have to be showbiz peeps, though so many are richly deserving. I'll go first. Drumroll, please.  Tim Cook. Sure, Steve Jobs was a diffy act to follow, but besides fattening the pockets of Apple's shareholders, Cook's talents appear to be minimal, even diminutive, unless you consider this  the work of a talented mind. Word on the street is that he'll retire in the coming year, which can't come too soon for many who believe that hobnobbing with terrorists  - who would otherwise be quite happy to imprison or kill his talent-free gay ass - is just tackiness.  Okay, your turn. Ready? Go! Photo Credits: Funkipedia, Getty Images

OPEN POST: Do You Have Mac and Cheese on Thanksgiving?

Credit: Noah Fecks/Food & Wine While we Canadian Peckers already got our fill of turkey back in October, our neighbours to the South are celebrating the holiday this week. Naturally I am seeing a lot of recipes crop up for the beloved classic dishes like turkey, stuffing, pies, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, rolls, etc. But I have noticed that mac and cheese appears to be a popular dish for the holiday. After doing some research, it appears to be a common Southern tradition, with the dish becoming more ubiquitous in the Northern states as people moved around the country.  So, Peckers who celebrate Thanksgiving, do you enjoy an ooey gooey scoop of mac and cheese on your dinner plate? If so, what recipe do you enjoy? The last few years I have seen Tini's mac and cheese recipe be named one of the best of all time. Anything that involves 2.5lbs of cheese is bound to be good in my books. Gobble gobble!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With the Sensational Sallie Blair!

Welcome, Manor music sluts, to another edition of Manor Music Monday! And happy Almost-Turkey-Day for those of you in The Land of the Free (ish). Are you getting your playlists ready for your Turkey Day gathering? Me, too. And I'm avoiding Christmas tunes, thankyouverymuch, because we'll all get enough of that in the coming weeks. Why not create a playlist with all your jazz favorites - just like DJ Li'l Scratch is doing. Trust me, even tots, tweens and teenagers will like jazz when introduced to it. Besides, haven't they listened to enough Cynthia and Arianna?  Meanwhile, if the picture above doesn't say "sizzle," then I don't know what does. Behold Sallie Blair, a red-hot jazz chanteuse in the 1950s and early 60s who never attained big-time stardom. Why, you ask? Once again, the rise of rock 'n' roll obliterated her and many other mainstream jazz artists from radio playlists, leaving her to record only a few LPs, score some TV gigs, and dazzl...
