CELESTE & BETTE NAIL IT

THIS clip of Celeste Holm's question to Bette Davis sums the current climate up perfectly.

Now... who need's a cock-a-tail?

MONDAY MANNERS

Here are again ..on Monday. Over the weekend, I was out shopping, and was yet again appalled at how casual and sloppy people are out in public. Pj's, slippers, holy clothes, sweats.....why when I got home I needed my smelling salts. They had me quite jumpy, the disgusting, frightening little rodents. We have gotten so relaxed. It's like were afraid to even look nice and presentable anymore. A handful of times, I wanted to do my best Karen Walker impersonation of " Huh, honey... *twirling fingers about* what's going on here, what's this called, what's this about?"  And don't get my started on manners eithers. Now if you know me, I never leave the house till I'm put together. What happens if I run into a hot man???  And the only times I don't mind sweats, if it's at a gym and the guy is commando!!!! No, The Mistress has somehow got to get this fashion band wagon moving again. Some days, I can so sympathize with Glen Close's character, Claire Wellington from Stepford Wives. " A world of romance and beauty,of tuxedos and chiffons, a prefect world. I'm in love with a waltz and town ...with manners, taste and etiquette."

Of course some Mondays, when  you can't get moving you may have to break off the manners.....

WIRE HANGERS ON THE HORIZON

 

I'm a sucker for a Ryan Murphy show. It started with Nip/Tuck followed by The New Normal, Glee, then American Horror Story. Watched Scream Queens, haven't seen American Crime Story. But then last week, FX  announced that it had ordered an eight-episode limited series from prolific executive producer Ryan Murphy that will dramatize the infamous rivalry between classic Hollywood stars Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. and made a little gay boy giddy with excitement. 

 

And the best part.......

 

"Feud" will star Murphy favorite Jessica Lange as Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Davis, and will be the first installment of a planned anthology series that "will explore the bouts and blows of epic conflicts and feuds through out time," according to FX.  The series will focus on the filming of the 1962 camp classic "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?," a project that capitalized on Davis and Crawford's well-known dislike for each other and that was intended to revive their flagging careers. The cast also includes Alfred Molina as director Robert Aldrich, Stanley Tucci as studio chief Jack Warner and Judy Davis as gossip columnist Hedda Hopper.

"Feud" will also be executive produced by Brad Pitt. I was very excited to hear about this. Not only is Jessica Lange one of my favorite actresses and going to play another one of my favorites actresses, but you may be well aware that Joan Crawford is one of the Casa's du Borghese's Patron Saints. This Murphy creation has delicious written all over it.Set to premiere in 2017, "Feud" will begin filming later this year. Can we  assume there won't be any wire hangers on set?

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK........

It seems the New Year is upon us as the pendulum keeps swing.....and that means this will be the last "I Hate Monday" post for the year. Can't complain today though. It is back home tot he Casa and then a three day work week. YAY!!!! Let's get in the mood  awhile shall we........ and Happy Monday!!

 

 

I'll be back tomorrow.
