HESTER FRUMP

If there is one thing I love, it's a campy, snarky, fashionable character. And as we are aware I watch very little American tv offerings, but one I fell in love with was Wednesday, a take on the life of Wednesday Addams. The first season was incredibly done. Plus, it had Gwendoline Christy. As if it could get any better, Burton went this season and added a Patron Saint of mine, the stunning Joanna Lumley to the cast as Hester Frump! A huge fan since the days of Jam and Jerusalem and, of course, Absolutely Fabulous...the actress can do no wrong. She has given a new life and purpose to a character we knew little of from previous incarnations of the show and movie, and grandma was basically nothing more than a bumbling mumbling side piece that time forgot in a gothic mansion. Lumley at 79, joined the cast at Tim Burton's request and so she lends her talents across this side of the pond playing Hester Frump as the wealthy and fashionable matriarch of the Frump family, and the owner of the largest outcast business in America, Frump Mortuaries. She is snarky, insulting, cold and sharp tongued, and is also the mother of Morticia Addams and Ophelia Frump. And while she has a good strong understanding relationship with her granddaughter Wednesday, she as a ghastly one with her own daughter Morticia. Staring with her disapproval of her marriage to Gomez. Needless to say, she is the first character in some time I have loved on a program. I dare say Absolutely Ghastly!

Her first appearance of the season was excellent! The only way to make me orgasm would be to add Helena Bonham Carter to the cast yet.

IT'S THE WEEKEND, SWEETIE DARLINGS

I can't think of a better way to end this hot and humid three day work week, then with,  none other than  Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone, form Absolutely Fabulous as they embark on a new tale in the premier of their new movie here in The States today!!!! While I won't be seeing it this weekend, I do have plans to go see it...along with my boofont and cock-a-tail🍸🍸🍸

 

I'll be scarce this weekend, with time being spent at my home away from home, the Raven. I can't think of a better way to stay cool in this heat...so I say I'm letting it all hang loose in square cuts and sitting poolside with some frozen libations.....suppose to be in the high 90"s! There will be a late night swim. I also have a pool party to attend on Sunday...so you will begin to see my condition already.

Hope you all have a great weekend...Sweet Darlings!

Beautiful Joanna Lumley

I have no idea why the beautiful Joanna Lumley is subject to a post, but she popped in my head for some reason. Like Pasty it may have been a drunken haze. Most of us know her and her image above from Absolutely Fabulous.But did you know the tall, cool, blonde, JOANNA LUMLEY cut her chops before the camera as both a model and a Bond girl in 1969, she had two lines as “The English Girl” in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service — but it’s her hilarious turn as the boozy, self-absorbed Patsy Stone on television’s Absolutely Fabulous with which she will always be joyfully associated. Blessed with a gift for physical comedy on par with Lucille Ball’s, Lumley’s Patsy clambers over airport luggage conveyor belts and slides down stairwells, dressed to the 9th degree in short-skirted 1990s power slut fashion and a towering up-do that recalls late-period Ivana Trump. But this actress is also a classically trained actress and appears in many productions of the English stage. But no denying she is stunning and very beautiful. Here's more of her beauty........
