happy late birthday morrissey

yes, it sounds like he could write a song about it; the melancholy fact that i'm a day late wishing the glorious morrissey happy birthday. yes, the iconic master of introspective pop, steven patrick morrissey turned 50 years old on the 22nd of may. wow, he looks damn sexy-fantastic for the 'big 5-0.' i hope he had lots of fun, lots of healthy, meat-free vegetarian foods, lots of love from his adoring fans, and lots of 'celibate-no-more' tender and powerfully erotic sex with the um, ...person of his choice. yes, i just found this shot... and apparently it was taken like, just a few days ago. i love how you can see his hands in this picture, and his chest-beneath-the-shirt. i've loved morrissey since like, 1986...? (maybe longer ago, its hard to remember.) i know i got the smiths 'meat is murder' album for christmas like, the year it came out. and he's still making superior music today. so happy (late) 50th birthday, morrissey. i still love you... i think i always have, and i know i always will. kisses, whether you like it or not.

monkee caption fun!

hey, add or choose your own funny caption to this shot of the 'frodis four.' (taken from the first season episode 'too many girls')

1.) MICKY: "...man, just when you think boy george couldn't be more of a train wreck, the papparazzi catches him stealing scratch tickets in bedroom shoes."

2.) MIKE: "...anybody wanna bite of these crab ribs before i show 'em who's boss... namely, my mouth?"

3.) PETE: "...guys? four-way nude wrestling? anyone? ...guys?"

4.) WAVE: (davy) : "...man, is it just me, or is that clay aiken a little... you know, light-in-the-shoes?"

bowie smokes

hello lovers. hey, i don't have a whole lot of inspiration tonight... but i didn't want too many nights to go by without a post, so hey... dig this groovy lime-flavored shot of the great mr. david bowie, smokin' hot on the cover of a 70's rolling stone. man, thirty-some years ago. and he still looks alien-great now. i loved the way he looked around that time, with his 'man who fell to earth' styled orange hair. and those shades, they make him look 'lean and mean.' (?) and he also makes a dashing addition to my 'men smoking' thing. ummm, i wish i had something like, wicked-clever to say about it, but i don't really. i just think it looks real groovy. so um, dig it, and i hope i'll have more candy for you in the near future.

miss theodore

yes, anytime is the right time for some sudsy centerfold flesh. i went shopping for some slinky ladies tonight, and the sultry miss sondra theodore was a bit of the cream that rose to the top. now, i know some of us have been through a lot lately, but here's to hoping we can still appreciate a sweet spread like this one. such a creamy, coy pose... such fresh colors, tinged in natural spearmint and strawberry. man... look at those classic creamy cafe au lait-flavored stockingtops... dig those gleaming, silveresque, strappy disco heels on her feet! and hey, three lusty cheers for the 79-esque fabric she's reclining on top of... she's softly ferocious, gently sluttish, but altogether extremely persuasive. thank you, sondra... and god bless all the deelishus girls like you, that dared to be so bare before the cameras.

witches of whatever

okay, i'm gonna go all the way back to 1987 for this one. man, i remember the late summer, 1987... high point, north carolina. my brother and i somehow became mesmirised by the ads for this movie. we wanted to see it so bad... i remember we even went as far as clipping the ad from the newspaper and sticking it to the front of the fridge for our mom to see, along with a little personal note that said something to the effect of: 'a great way to spend an evening, don't you think?' just to get her to drive us the less-than-ten-miles to the closest theater showing the thing. (and i'm trying like mad to remember the theater it was playing in... i think it was the capri triple... the one closest to the zayre's, if i'm remembering it correctly. lucynell... do you happen to remember? i don't think it was the Martin Twin... i think it was the other one.) anyway, our mother caved, and DID in fact take us to see it... i think the rainy weekend it premiered. i remember having a really good time, but even so... the sophisticated critic that lived deep within me realized it was at least two parts 'gobbling turkey.' (i mean, that ending... yeesh!) so, taking all of that into consideration, i made up this slide, which expresses my feelings now, everytime i catch 'eastwick' on re-runs.

fantasia de laurie lebon

okay, i think i have to take like, 99% credit on this gorgeous little slice of notebook art. this one was made of really no more than four cuttings, and was affixed to a page of one of my handwritten journals a long, long time ago. i think the original measured approximately 4 inches by two and a half, or something like that. but, although its small, it holds like a honeycomb within it; two of my greatest crushes. in the topmost circle, we have the achingly sexy hugh laurie, practically in drag for the mid-90's annie lennox hit video 'walking on broken glass.' underneath that, we have a disc cut of the marvelous simon le bon... not from any specific duran video; but, if i had to make an educated guess, i'd say that it was from sometime around 1983. 'rio'-era. so i hope you dig on it. umm, it really doesn't 'mean' anything, its just meant to look groovy, and to celebrate a couple of great sexy boys. (click to enlarge)

sandy!

hey, this is a small one, but i felt it was worth posting anyway. this is what i consider a 'one-panel' deal. if i may be so bold, i think its suitable for printing and sticking up on the fridge via a funky magnet. and hey, this one is expressly for lucynell, too. i'm sure i don't have to tell her, that here we have the incomparable miss teri garr, in the masterpiece 'tootsie.' here she is in black and white, rehearsing her soap audition way into the wee hours of the night. (we can tell its late because of when michael dorsey wearily looks at his watch whilst saying, '...just turn the tables on him, come on...') hey, lucynell knows what i'm talking about. so lucy, dig it. and know that she paid 24 dollars for those glasses! hey, what do i have to do, '...hit you with a stick?!' to get you dig this latest post!

dougie's on board!

yes, lately i've been rolling 'sgt. pepper' kind of on an endless loop. hey, i love that beatle-beegees sound! so, jean-lucien has the dvd, and he popped it in a couple of nights ago to get some great shots. here we see the incomparable paul nicholas as the 'greedy dougie shears,' all too ready to sign the 'big deal' recording contract with the slightly sleazy record exec, BD... played quite cooly by horror actor donald pleasance. (hey, here's one of almadora's secrets; she thinks mr. pleasance was really quite dashing and handsome in his day... in films like 'the great escape' and 'escape to witch mountain,' his groovy sinister ways stole the show) but hey, here he found a rock-opera musical escape in robert stigwood's flashy beatle-related production. hey, he 'wants them' to sign on the dotted line, and thus become overnight superstars. i often wonder why paul nicholas was never more famous than he managed to get. nobody has more energy and zeal with a part. few people have the same fervor and devotion when he gets the opportunity to sink his big white teeth into a role. so dig it, and i hope this won't be the only thing i post tonight.

lush lucy

okay, yeah... i know its been a while since i posted anything. and i know it doesn't carry a lot of weight to say that my little 'job' has affected my schedule to the point where i'm letting the planet slip. but that just happens to be the case. i went in this morning... walking almost ten blocks through the cold drizzle of lower new england. but hey, my spirits were light, and my head was all bright and dazzled with songs from the cult movie 'sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band,' starring the bee gees, peter frampton, dianne steinberg, and donald pleasance. here's a shot i found of miss steinberg as lucy, doing her flashy bit. yeah, i've had this wild flick on a virtual endless loop for the past three days. hey, i know the movie is considered by some to be an absolute turkey, but i must disagree. i mean, the music is great, the casting is... interesting? the story is only mildly plausible, and all the flashy clothing is the greatest! hey, you know i'm rolling it now! so, this might be the only thing i post tonight, so dig miss lucy, and her disco ways.
