DJ L'i'l Scratch is in the hizzy, yo! Isn't that what the kids used to say? What do they say now? Subscribe and like? DJ Li'l Scratch doesn't care, because he's already on his 12th life - at least - his longevity credited to a regular diet of the 'nip, tuna and whiskey. Oh, and the ladies, including this fine specimen:
Va-va-voom. Cherchez la femme. Ommph. All are appropriate responses to Belgian-born Monique Van Voreen, who hot-cha-cha-cha'd her way to heaven only five years ago. Monique, as you may know, had a highly eclectic and unusually long career. I say "unusually," because a long career is not generally associated with an actor who's first introduced like this:
Back in the 1950s, she was the movie's latest sex-bomb. Yet she kept on working - well past the regulation sell-by date for sex symbols - in roles both large and small. She even conquered the Broadway stage (twice!). And, oh, yes, in her spare time, she published a successful novel and a cookbook (which I must get my grubby paws on). Trooper that she was, she was still acting in movies well into the 2000s. One of her more memorable later roles, in Andy Warhol's "Frankenstein," had her snuggling up with Joe Dalesandro (in 3-D, no less).
She was also a successful cabaret star (what didn't she do?), but tragically, cut only one LP, the delectably titled "Mink In Hi-Fi." And yes, the song selections are everything you'd hope for, like "My Man Is Good" and "Call Me Again When You're In Town," and more. Though it's long been out of print, fallen out of copyright and unavailable to stream, you can download it in mp3 form RIGHT HERE. And really, you must. I insist.
Below, marvel as she sings her own composition, "The Boys Of Times Square," lovingly dedicated to her gheys, at a cabaret performance in 1996. She was 88 years old, but still dripping with glamour.
What have you been listening to lately? DJ Li'l Scratch wants to know! 🐾

Canuck Peckers can certainly recognize this image. Usually you'd see these candies gathering dust at your local corner store or perhaps in an elder relative's home. Or MINE, because I have excellent taste. The Cherry Blossom was originally created in the 1890s by Lowney Company's Canadian subsidiary. The candy has changed hands a few times and was eventually acquired by Hershey Canada in the 1980s. Sickeningly sweet and impossible to eat without getting sticky hands, the candy secured its place in the hearts (and visceral fat) of Canadians over the past 135 years. But Hershey Canada made the sad announcement this week that they are discontinuing production of this beautiful, underrated confectionary. Many are already joking that you will still see these candies in shops for years to come as they never really seem to die. Regardless, I am sad to see them go. Rest in Peace!

At the root of what we Americans are experiencing is this extremist view of American Exceptionalism and how the Right has taken this belief and extended it to include what they believe is their purpose and duty. Now, we have a Supreme Court dedicated to these ideas. This is what they think, and they will stop at nothing to make this happen. These idealogues must be stopped. They have taken over and plan to institute the below beliefs. Lets be prepared. American exceptionalism is the idea that the United States of America is a unique and even morally superior country for historical, ideological, or religious reasons. Proponents of American exceptionalism generally pair the belief with the claim that the United States is obligated to play a unique role in global politics. Movements: American nationalism Anti-communism Christian nationalism Civil religion Classical liberalism Communitarianism Constitutionalism Culture of life Pro-life Familialism Family values Federalism States...
