happy birthday bernadette


yeah, i seem to have a lot of birthdays lately. and tonight is no exception. today is the sultry and sudsy 60th (!!) birthday of the one and only miss bernadette peters! yeah, i know i'm using an older picture, but that's certainly not because she 'looks rough' these days or anything like that. she still looks great. yes, i've always loved the slinky and sassy miss bernadette. and i mean, literally always. i think i must've loved her at 'first sight' when i was a kid. i don't have a clear memory of seeing her for the first time, but i'm guessing it must've been like, on johnny carson or some other kind of variety type show. because i don't remember a time when i didn't know who she was. i know i have an early memory of seeing her in mel brooks' 'silent movie,' but that couldn't have been the first time i saw her, because i know i probably saw that on HBO, and we didn't have HBO until i was about eight? nine? i'm sure she was probably on tv before that. but in any case, i've always loved her, and i still do. nobody looks like her. i mean, can you ever remember a time when you were talking to someone and heard yourself say, '...yeah, that girl from my video store job? she looks just like bernadette peters.' yeah, that never happens. so happy birthday, sexy lady. making sixty o-so-sexy!

How is it possible that she is 60?
