OPEN POST: Raincoaster's Sunday Roast With Vincent Price!

By

Greetings, Manorites, this is Raincoaster, and I'd like to welcome you to Peckerwood's very first Sunday Roast! This week we feature that darling of darkness, Vincent Price:


He was a Yale man and a frustrated Shakespearean who was typecast early (and very lucratively) as the ultimate horror villain. But he was also an art connoisseur, Francophile, and gourmet who briefly hosted his own cooking show; yes, in the old days celebrity chefs were actual celebrities. There’s also a cookbook, which is highly recommended if you like French cuisine.


Bonus points to anyone who guesses the second celebrity chef in the photo.

Others congratulated Griffin and said she should get it! Which camp did you fall into, Peckers?  Griffin shared a new post confirming that it had all been a stunt. The young man was simply helping Griffin with her security. But she had some great commentary on the feedback she received: Oh Kathy, never change! Source: kathygriffin on Instagram

And if you're in another country, are you still laughing at the cheeseball spectacle known as "Salute to America 250 Celebration" on the National Mall? If it helps you to stop, know that most of us were embarrassed, even mortified. But anywaythat'stoopolitical, let's swing back to music, life-saving music.  Tonight, at the Manor's exclusive "Knob-Slapping" after-hours club and taqueria, DJ Li'l Scratch will grand jete forth, as only he can do, and spin wonderful tunes by the delightfully multitalented Kay Cole. Recognize the name? Woo-hoo! Congratulations! You're officially an old , because she was in the original Broadway cast of "A Chorus Line," being one of three dancers who both inspired and performed ...
