OPEN POST: Do You Like Movies About Gladiators?

Image
Well if you do then you're in luck, because in 1961,  "Spartacus" was still riding high in theaters. John Gavin in a towel in a sauna? BRING IT! Plus there were lots of great shows on TV, including "Perry Mason," "The Rifleman," "Dennis the Menace" and "Lassie," and if you flipped on the radio while you were driving around in your new Starliner, you undoubtedly heard this song a LOT: I know it's supposed to be a sad song about a guy being done wrong by a girl, but it's so much FUN, and Dion clearly feels the same. And whether you've been done wrong or you've been done right, feel free to tell us all about it. After all, it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credit: AK

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Jayden Smith + Louboutain = NOPE! Sydney Sweeney's Stunt Fails. Um...Who's Dis?

Image
  Programming Note: For the next few weeks, I will be posting sporadically due to my work schedule. Thank you for your understanding. ► The court jester of celeb nepo brats, Jayden Smith (27) debuted his new fashion line for Christian Louboutain at Paris Fashion Week. Jayden was hired as the Men's Wear Creative Director for the fashion house. Despite having no formal training, no experience, zero qualifications and the fashion prowess of ranch dressing, he was given a free reign. So what did he come up with? Overpriced garbage for men with a fetish for faux fur.  The line includes faux fur boots, furry hats, furry vest...it's the wet dream of Gossamer, the red furry monster of Looney Tunes. Or Elmo. Or Bigfoot. Take your pick. BTW the faux fur boots cost $2,900; and the faux fur baseball cap $1,500. I can buy a bag of fake fur $15 and achieve better results. It doesn't take talent. As part of his attempt to create buzz and promote the line, Jayden painted himself red. He re...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 1/26/2026!

Image
The Highest Product of Capitalism (after John Heartfield) 1979, Jo Spence, with Terry Dennett Austerity is not an unfortunate economic reality; it is a political weapon. It is how the state disciplines the public while protecting capital, and it has been doing this without impunity for decades, if not longer. Oversight is nonexistent. There is no culpability. It isn’t even questioned, and both political parties are complicit in pushing this as an undeniable truth. The messages differ, but the flavor is the same.  The Republicans are undoubtedly more corrupt, crueler, greedier, more vindictive, and recklessly divisive. This creates the illusion that the Democrats are positioned to be the answer and that once they are in power, everything will change. Democratic politicians push this narrative; however, they never rise to the occasion, resulting in bitter disappointment and frustration for those who vote for change. With tepid moral outrage, they make the rounds on MSNBC, give rousin...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Magnificent Sylvia Syms!

Image
Greetings Manor hors, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday! Did you know? Today is National Bubble Wrap Day, so if you have some, by all means enjoy popping those air-filled plastic nubbins. Pop-pop-pop! Such fun. Also fun, a lively jazz and Broadway songstress who was brought to new heights in 1949 after being spotted performing at Greenwich Village's The Cinderella Club  (where Billie Holiday and Thelonious Monk frequently gigged) by none other than Mae West, who promptly cast her in her Broadway revival of "Diamond Lil." That's quite a gal to give your career a boost. And tonight, at the Manor's exclusive "Canyon Yodeling" club and taco joint, DJ Li'l Scratch will be spinning her irresistible tunes. How irresistible? Let's just say that Frank Sinatra himself called her "the world's greatest saloon singer."  Yes, it's Sylvia Syms (not to be confused with the British actor with a similar name), who was born in ...

Post A Pup Sunday: Since Snow Storms are Raging, How About Some Dogs Being Clowns in the Snow?

Image
  In a few weeks, we are going skiing with the kids and some of our friends and their families. The kids have a break, so that's what we will be doing. We are bringing 2 of our youngest pups and my semi-retired support pup, who loves snow. I bought them new sweaters and jackets for the weather. Our other pup is too old and achy to enjoy it, and she doesn't travel well. She will have the kitties and the bird to keep her company.  Maybe they will try puppy skiing. We will see, :)  The dogs doing mad laps around their yard cracks me up. They look like little lunatics.  How does your dog feel about snow? Or have they even seen it before?

Open Post: Two Small Heartbeats in the Mist

Image
High in the cold, clouded forests of Virunga National Park, where the air thins and the trees feel ancient, a miracle happened. On January 3rd, community trackers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo spotted something rarely seen: twin baby boy mountain gorillas, both miraculously alive, both clinging to their mother in the high-altitude forest. Their mother is twenty-two year old Mafuko. She is strong, experienced, and a tenacious survivor. This is the 8th time she has given birth, so she knows what it will take, but her task will not be easy. Her family, the Bageni, is the largest gorilla group in Africa’s oldest national park, a living lineage of sixty-nine bonded lives with memories and instincts moving together through the mountains. What makes this so special is that less than one percent of recorded gorilla births will result in twins, and their survival is never guaranteed. The first four weeks are everything for these fragile babies. It determines if they have a chance. It ...

Saturday is Caturday! Take a Break From Negative News and Watch These Maine Coon Kittens Grow Up!

Image
  I want to kiss the bellies. When I fostered pregnant cats (and dogs), I would scoop up the babies and kiss their soft bellies. I enjoyed every moment of watching a litter grow up. I loved them up. If one were fragile, I would carry it around inside my hoodie or in a baby sling. They would come to the grocery store with me, and no one would know I had a furry baby in there. There were heartbreaks, but the overwhelming experience was pure joy.

OPEN POST: Cristin Milioti at Sundance

Image
Here's Cristin Milioti attending the Buddy premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT yesterday. She wore head-to-peeptoe Saint Laurent for the occasion.  The top half of this outfit looks very appropriate for the chilly Utah weather. But the whole look takes an unexpected (read: horrifying) turn when she wore lacy lingerie shorts with sheer tights tucked into pink peep toe shoes. The contrast is jarring, and the colour scheme is confusing.  What are your thoughts on this look, Peckers?
