...it's not been easy, rather, things have been tough at the Casa du Borghese since letting go all the house staff.
I just hope mother, I and the racoons can pull through.
And if your a night owl, like me....
LIVE! LIVE! Life is a banquet, and some sorry sons of bitches are starving!
You'll make it. The cream always rises to the top. Now, I sing you "Tea For Two".
ReplyDeleteI'd like that. "I don't think there's any point in meeting anybody who doesn't like music."
DeleteSo long as your hair doesn't fall out, you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteThat's what scarves and wigs are for dear. But you right. "No, I'm not ready; I have no makeup on... but things are getting better!"
DeleteIf i had I lived in squalor, this would be where I would want to be...Cats, beach, music, singing, dancing, sexy still at 56...
ReplyDeletewho's really crazy now.
"I'm gonna get naked in a minute, so you better watch out!"
ReplyDeleteI'm totally going to watch this...it's been an age.
I have a fourteen year old staying with me until something changes. We spent the day yesterday fishing tampons out of the commode that she tried to flush along with shit. Good times. TMI?
ReplyDeleteWell dear Tugboat...That's better than the cat going to the bathroom right in back of your portrait.
DeleteHave I mentioned how nice to see you dear...I hope this means you will come back to blogging a little!!!!!!! I miss the "Let's Ride ho's!"
*laughing* tears
DeleteSometimes I go tip toeing thru your tulips and end up in a poppy field wondering how the hell I got here! I'm going to bed.
ReplyDeleteBut we love when you come to Wonderland, through the rabbit hole..... sleep tight little Deedle-lee-de!
DeleteAlright. So far every one of these comments has me in stiches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the opening commentary from you in the beginning with that picture!!!!
ReplyDeleteLLLLLLLLLLMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell is in the water around here?
And yes...I plan to watch the clip...im off tomorrow.
OMG that first Image had me rolling, along with letting the House Staff go! *ROTFLMAO!* The other Night, as a lark, I turned to Faux {Fox} News and one of their Blonde Bimbo Journalists was lamenting {seriously no less} how much of a hardship it would be now to have to let her Au Pair go due to The Orange Menace banning Immigration and so her 'Staff' wouldn't be able to get their Work Visa renewed in order to stay! Shit! She acted as tho' the masses all have Au Pair and could commiserate with her! The Granddaughter hit the reality Home when she turned and asked, "Gramma, what's an Au Pair?! *Bwahahahaha* Clearly, we do not have Staff and I can't recall anyone I've ever known having an Au Pair! *Smiles*
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this movie.
ReplyDeleteGURL, SNAP OUTTA IT! KEEP HOPE ALIVE! put on this tune and repeat it 20 times a day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARt9HV9T0w8
Gay men LOVE this movie Anne Marie. It truly is a fascinating watch, and uncomfortable at times. I can't believe Jackie Kennedy Onassiss let them live like that so long. Rumors swirled for years before the movie was seen, that these two were living in squalor. She had to have known before she stepped in.
DeleteIf anyone needed a laugh it was me!!!! And this post and the comments did just that!!! LOL.LOL.LOL.LOL. I haven't had a laugh like that in ages.
ReplyDeleteGray Gardens is a study in solitude and an ode to fierce individuality and its side effects. Very appropriate for these times, I should say. Little Edie is an icon.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be fine. They can't keep a good woMan down.
And now I'm going to have to watch the documentary again...
XOXO
I think the "fierce individuality" is why I see myself never being partnered again.
DeleteAfter the musical Grey Gardens I finally watched this documentary. It's exceptional, comical, and heartbreaking. And I was was so impressed with how well the musical followed the documentary. The acting, too, was brilliant and they both deserved the awards and accolades they received.
ReplyDeleteSort of sad how they got neglected by their family.
DeleteI ran out of Hendrix and I have no idea what all of this is about. Maybe I should go back to bed for a while.
ReplyDeleteYou'll "win the revolution with style", my dear. Just don't wear red shoes on a Sunday! Jx
ReplyDelete"Do you think my costume looked all right for Brooks? I think he was a little amazed."
Delete"Mother wanted me to come out in a kimono so we had quite a fight..."
DeleteJx
You’ve spent so much time on the inside, the outside has gone to shit. Maybe it’s time to get the houseboys out for a little spring cleanup.
ReplyDelete"I think my days at Grey Gardens are limited."
DeleteHope you stay well, bored, but well!
ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
It does begin to feel a little Grey Gardens at times.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a nice tin of pâté ?
So long as the tin doesn't say Whiskers.
DeleteAre you telling me you gave in to those awful neighbors and let the Houseboys go? Well, I hope you're being a good employer and keeping them on salary! Yes, yes, I know supplying them with gin can get expensive, but, my dear, you KNOW how tough it is to find hard men!
ReplyDeleteI love the documentary, one of my favorites, even thought it is uncomfortable to watch at times.
ReplyDeleteBig Edie was unapologetic and a free thinker. Grey Gardens was a world of her own. It seems like her way of liberating her daughter from the social construct she had escaped on made her daughter resentful. Little Edie wanted the life she was promised and coped by living in the past. She is the human embodiment of missed opportunity and wasted youth. This documentary is truly powerful.
Its Hard.... But.. Its a lil' bit of a Light at the end of the Tunnel... a flicker... Hang in there Suga....
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like something I would never, ever watch (big surprise, huh?). I'm in a bit of a crying mood so I'll watch my old cathartic favorites. Brian's Song (that's song, with an s) and Beaches (with an ea). Afterwards, a palate cleanser of The Birds. I do love watching Tippi Hedren (I can't spell her name) getting whacked in the head by that gull! Serves her right for wearing that pukey green skirt and heels everywhere. Hugs everybody :)
ReplyDeleteI love Beaches!!!! My favorite line and one I use a lot is, when CC takes Hillary to the beach, and she is being miserible about something CC fixed her for lunch, so CC corrects it, and gives it back to Hillary and says "THERE....HAPPY DEAR!"
DeleteI have been on a huge movie and virtual drag show binge.
I saw that when that first came out. What a great documentary!
