Open Post: With The Chamber Pot Of Connubial Bliss!

Image
During the Georgian era in Great Britain, chamber pots were coveted wedding gifts for the wealthy class, often delivered stuffed full of pound notes or coins, some with a merry olde message stamped onto their porcelain surface. Like this one from The Georgian House in Edinburgh, Scotland. The inscription reads: “This Pot it is A Present Sent, Some Mirth to make is only Meant. We hope the same you’ll not Refuse, But keep it safe and oft it Use. When in it, you Want to Piss, Remember them who sent you this. Keep me clean and use me well, And what I see I will not Tell.” Heavens, a lowly limerick worthy of a common bawd. Next thing you know, men and women will be displaying a shapely ankle to all and sundry, even those virile, husky stable boys who look so restless and excitable. Happy Open Post, darlings. Please try to keep it in your trousers, or leave your petticoats unraised, and keep a civil tongue in your mouth (whether your own or someone else's is entirely up to you).  Photo ...

OPEN POST: Sarah Paulson in Balenciaga

Image
Sarah Paulson sported this two-piece look to the Brazilian premiere of "All's Fair." It was designed by Pierpeolo Piccioli for Balenciaga SS26.  It wasn't exactly a great night for fashion, as Kim K rolled up in this pastel monstrosity and Naomi Watts looked immensely uncomfortable in stripes. Awful fashion for an awful show, how fitting! Sources: Desi/Backgrid, Getty Images for Disney+

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Gypsy Rose Lee!

Image
Welcome, music prostitots, to another edition of Manor Music Monday, today with a li'l bump, a li'l grind, and lots of razzmatazz. And yes, our songstress of the day has a gimmick, because, as you might know, you gotta get a gimmick. Those last four words were probably enough to cause all of you Broadway Babies out there to squeal with happiness - and for good reason. But this ain't no Broadway post, bub. It's about the Real McCoy, as they say, or the genu-wine article. Tonight, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing all of her hot-cha! songs at the Manor's "Tuna Pole!" lounge and Shirako dinette. Yes, i t's times like these that call for Gypsy, don't you think? No, not the movie or stage Gypsy. I'm talking about the actual person. Yes, it's true, there really was a burlesque queen named Gypsy. I know, right? It's like finding out the tooth-fairy is real. And yes, she and her audience frequently had to make a mad dash for the streets when...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 11/10/25

Image
While we Americans like to think of Canadians as polite, well-mannered citizens, they turn positively feral at the sight of Trump, as evidenced by a Trump punching bag which a group of ordinarily gracious Vancouver moose heads (allegedly!) were only to happy to punch, pummel and viciously kick.  C’est tiguidou, cheri. C'est le fun.  To which I say, we understand, eh-sayers, we understand. After all, we can't even escape our hell-hole of a country these days. Calisse, right? And though sane 'Muricans won big in the recent election, causing much amusing uproar , we ain't out of the woods yet . The stupid rich are still getting stupid rich , and it could all blow up before you know it. Chalice de   Crisse!   So keep punching and kicking, mon amis . We're hanging on by a thread here, and hoping that all won't be forgotten come the midterms in 2026. Because, tabarnak , that would be tres-tres hellacious, no?

Post A Pup Sundays: Frenchies!

Image
My sister has Dobermans. She loves them, and so does her husband. That's her favorite breed, and if anyone has paid attention to things I say about my sister, it is fitting. But she ended up with a Frenchie duo as puppies. Someone she knew paid an enormous sum for them and then decided it had been a mistake. So she took them. They are little clowns, and she is in love with them. The dobermans are protective of them and seem in love, too. Her son has started making little movies with the dogs, and the Frenchies seem to be natural stars. 

OPEN POST: "Saturday Night Fever" Is Almost Fifty Years Old!

Image
You're getting old, dear. Did you know? "Saturday Night Fever" is 48 years-old this year, or like many of you, within spitting distance of 50. "How can this be?" you ask in horror. Sorry, Margaret, get out those crutch tips. Time marches on for everyone. Fun facts: The movie was based on a 1976 New York magazine article -  "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night," by British author Nik Cohn  - which was a complete lie. As in totally made up. No, really. He was a newcomer to the U.S., didn't know the Brooklyn disco scene at all, so he based "Tony," the lead character, on an English, so-called "mod fellow" he knew. He also pocketed a nice chunk of change from Paramount and producers when they bought the rights to the article, thinking it was real. Smooth move, Nik!  As for the casting of Donna Pescow, this was based almost entirely on her looks. Studio executives Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg initially thought she was ...
