Lost and Found: The Majorettes

Fun facts: The Majorettes (1986) was written by the cowriter of George Romero’s seminal Night of the Living Dead (1968) and directed by the actor who played the cemetery zombie in that same film. A nice pedigree that surely must bode well for The Majorettes, right? Well, ah, not quite. No, those trivia nuggets mean … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Majorettes →

Michelle Monday

Restaurateur Jo Ann Vallenari serving up a plate of her famous rigatoni quattro formaggi sounds absolutely divine this Monday. Sure would the start the work week off with a bang. Of course, I’d need a nap after that meal, so productivity will tank, plus staring into Jo Ann’s sultry, come-hither eyes aren’t going to help … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Hot Shots of the Week: Hot Diggity Dog

Sigourney Weaver at the famous Tail O’ The Pup hot dog truck on La Cienega in Los Angeles, 1983. Sigourney lives rent free in my heart thanks to so many of her movies, but especially Alien, Ghostbusters, Working Girl, and The Ice Storm, to name just a few. Love, love, love her. These shots of … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Hot Diggity Dog →

Bonus Hot Shots of the Week: Hop In

Paradise by the dashboard lights. Elaborately airbrushed vans like this shroommobile were de rigueur during the 1970s and into the 1980s.

Betty Grable getting her spook on. Morgan Fairchild’s early eighties witch photoshoot lives rent free in my brain at all … Continue reading Bewitching Visions →

What I’ve Been Watching: October 2024

Before starting this jam post I quick double-checked the math and, yup, it’s been about fourteen months since my one and only “What I’ve Been Watching” post. Boy howdy, where’d the time go? I had planned to do these semi-regularly (like, every few months maybe?), but the first one took so long to write and … Continue reading What I’ve Been Watching: October 2024 →

Michelle Monday: Susie’s 35th

The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Michelle Pfeiffer’s performance as the sultry singing escort Susie Diamond also ranks among my all time favorites. This site was named for an obscure reference to a club in the film, so it’s only fitting Susie and the Baker Brothers … Continue reading Michelle Monday: Susie’s 35th →
