Peckerwood Manor

Peckers, what kind of cake is your favourite? Chocolate? Carrot? Cheesecake? So many to choose from! Whatever your preference, treat yourself to a slice today. Lord knows you deserve it! Source: NYT Cooking BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

Calling all hepcats! DJ Li'l Scratch is layin' down some swingin' tracks at the Manor's "Pork Sword" lounge tonight. But first, have you seen the 1980's sitcom "It's a Living?" If you have, then you know about "Sonny Mann," the comically boorish lounge singer played by Paul Kreppel (in a performance that used to annoy me, though now I find it oddly endearing). Photo: ABC Networks Kreppel had to have been lampooning Buddy Greco, at least vocally, a fantastic Vegas lounge singer who surely originated the phrases "Who loves ya', baby!" and "Ring-a-ding-ding!" and "The meatloaf's fantastic! We're open all night!" Photo: Getty Images And while I make fun of Buddy, his LP, "16 Most Requested Songs" is winningly primeval. This is how songs like "The Lady Is A Tramp" and "She Loves Me" were first performed - or so I imagine - and in fact, how they should always be perf

Happy Sunday, hors. I'm taking a queue from this buddy and doing a lazy today. No pants, no priorities, no problem. What are your Sunday plans? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's RIGHT HERE .

  Because Ryan Murphy can't stop sexualizing notorious murder cases, he's producing a new season of his Monster series starring Charlie Hunnam as the notorious necrophile  sexpot Ed Gein. He's looking awfully Rockwellish here but I am sure this season will be just as gruesome as its predecessors, which focused on Dahmer and then the Menendez brothers. Will you be tuning in to the latest season when it airs, Peckers? Source: Backgrid

 

I love my headline here. It reads like something out of some shameless 50s tabloid headline about an alien boy hidden away from the world because he has the head of a 4-month-old infant. Well, in his ever more bizarre quest for youth, the disturbed but too rich to go broke in his absurd waste of money, 2 million this year alone, Bryan Johnson has discovered what us vain bitches have known for a while. He could have paid me a cool million to quietly whisper in his ear, "Hey, Bry, loss of fat in your face can age you." No duh? One look at a fat pudge of a baby and an 80-year-old is plenty to prove something obvious, yet this fool and his money part to discover these groundbreaking insights into aging. This genius has a team, and his goal is to "bio" hack aging, having once absconded with the blood of his teenage son to trick his middle-aged cells or some such nonsense. His cells laughed at his ass and refused to change.  Schadenfreude is my oldest friend, and I enjoy

  Awww. Hugh Grant just shared this photo of him and Nicholas Hoult reuniting outside the 15th annual Governor's Awards on November 17th. The pair starred together in About a Boy over two decades ago! How cute. Source: Hugh Grant on X

Aren't you lucky! Tonight at Peckerwood's "Meat Whistle" after-hours club, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing Teresa Graves. Who, you may ask, is Miss Teresa? Before we get to that, watch her performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1971. And brace yourself. It's a wowza.  Phew! Can you believe? If you're an old, you may recognize Teresa from " Get Christie Love ," a groundbreaking 1974 TV series in which she played the namesake undercover agent. Teresa was only the second Black female actor to lead a series - and the first to star in a one-hour series - and though the show lasted just one season, that was enough to burn her image into the nation's consciousness.  The show was hoping to ride the wave of sassy, sexy Pam Grier movies, like "Coffy" and "Cleopatra Jones," but it was perhaps too hot a potato for many, including TV critics, who regarded the show's premise of a Black female undercover agent as "p

Hey, friends, I got you a birdito! Happy Sunday!

  I don't know about my fellow Peckers in the Northern hemisphere, but the last two weeks I have found myself largely wanting to be at home in my bed, staying warm and safe from the increasingly colder weather outside. It can sometimes bring about feelings of guilt about being "lazy" by not wanting to do activities I used to engage in during the warmer months, even though it seems to get dark outside before I even get off work! I was recently reading a BBC article talking about embracing the cozy side of the winter months by wearing comfy pyjamas, wooly socks, sipping on warm drinks, lighting candles, all those Pinterest-style cozycore images you see floating around. The Danish concept, "hygge" gained a new wave of popularity in recent years. It is defined as "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being." How pleasant is that? Let's raise a warm mug of apple cider to celebrating the simp

Hors, I have stumbled upon further proof that we truly are living in the worst timeline. Not only are the glory days of men's short shorts  a thing of the past, but apparently also bygone are the days when there were whole-ass ass stories dedicated to selling men's underwear! Back in the late 30s to mid-40s, Munsingwear Underwear for Men printed a series of advertisements in this style for the masses to feast their eyes upon as they perused the morning paper. Just imagine starting each day with a fresh cup of sassy vintage dudes in their stretchy skivvies talking shit to each other! 

 

Pang Pha is a particular elephant. She loves her bananas, but only if they come a certain way and she knows what she likes. This beauty should live out her life in comfort with muscled, gorgeous go-go boys in tiny shorts feeding her all the bananas she can eat. Yellow-green is preferred, but in a pinch, she will peel her own bananas. Thank you very much . Even go-go boys need their beauty sleep.  As manor residents, we get to interview worthy employees skilled enough to care for our Pang Pha and be eye candy so we can ogle and objectify them whenever we feel like it. Oh, and we feel like it. Oh yes, we do ! photo: Getty

We all know miss Jennifer Lopez is single these days after just filing for divorce from Ben Affleck. Apparently the fourth time isn't the charm! Fans noticed that JLo appears to have a smokin' hot new bodyguard on her staff and honestly, good for her. If you're a rich celeb why not have hot people surround you all the time?  Source: GC Images, Cinema Blend

Honk-honk! It's Monday, yes, but as most of you know, this needn't be cause for concern, as our Monday Mayhem Manor Parade™ is right now marching throughout the estate and outlying township, bringing joy to all who behold it.  Feeling blue? Come outside or gaze out your window. Who can resist the sight of marching fowl, pandas, chickens, and, of course, a smattering of Bendy Boyz™? Life beyond our hamlet may be troubled, but here? Relief and giggles. Fred says it best:  Meanwhile, Mr. Tristin Spratt, your devoted Peckerwood MajorDomo, would like to thank all who attended Peckerwood's first "Klassy Manor Movie Night" last Saturday eve, hosted by our very own Raincoaster! It was a rousing success, though the Manor crew had much popcorn and detritus to clean up, along with the scrubbing-up of suspicious fluids and goo in the back row of the second balcony.   Would you like to host a "Klassy Manor Movie Night?" Do email us to set it up. Here are a few things

In this week's edition of bad art, we bring you a few of the works of Australian artist, tw1tterpicasso , a master of trolling celebrities with absolutely shittastic portraits. Behold! 

LL Cool J was spotted outside BBC Radio studios yesterday. The 56-year old rapper was wearing this nice striped sweater with quite a fun combo of colours. Cute! Source: Splash News  

I thought you sweet Peckercheeks could maybe use a little joy this week, and would you just get a load of these two? *melts into an absolute puddle* This weekend, don't forget to dance like no one's watching.
