OPEN POST: Peckerwood Field Trip Time Machine Party, 1978 Studio 54!

By

It might be Wednesday, but our golden time machine is dropping us off for a party at Studio 54. I will provide some outfit ideas, some inspiration, some ideas of the glittering stars that might be there, and some music for your playlists. Get your disco dancing shoes on, blow dry that hair, fellas. Ladies, crimping is an idea. Blush is your friend. Be outrageous. Let that wild person in your imagination out to play for a night. You are a superstar! If 78-year-old Disco Sally can get down, so can you. 

I ask that you comport yourself with a modicum of elegance and self-restraint. Don't do anything I wouldn't do, which means you get to do everything. And keep some of those ideas. Our next stop might be Maxim's in Paris or Blitz in London. Or we could go to London in the Swinging 60s. 

Alain Ducasse will provide the pre-disco feast, and Ina Garten will provide our return breakfast. Nurse Ramon will be there to hook us up to IVs to make sure none of us get a pesky hangover to ruin the revelry. To make this happen, I had to pull many strings and promise to sell Goblin Kitty to a 70s Mick Jagger. Sssh and erm, don't tell Plastic I threw her into the deal. 




















Please won't someone tell this Peckerite the party is over. Is that blakblu?

  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...

OPEN POST: Merii Kurisumasu めりーくりすます! Or Christmas In Japan Is For Couples!

Christmas is celebrated differently in Japan, yet much of it is recognizable. We see beautiful lights, Santas, and  decorated trees, and it is a time for getting together. But it diverges there because Christmas in Japan is for couples.  They exchange gifts and cozy up for romance. Though American food is preferred, KFC is  preferred ; it can get expensive, so they will have tasty Japanese romantic dinners or something delicious and homecooked.  It is common to see couples holding hands flushed with love and happiness. It is like Valentine's Day except on Decemeber 25th. Only about 2% of the Japanese people call themselves Christians, so it would make sense to carve out their own traditions and make this holiday something unique to them and reflects their culture.  Christmas Eve is for  kurisumasu ke—ki , a sweet sponge cake with filling, but the next day is for dressing up, making fancy dinner reservations, and staring into the eyes of your "ride or d...
