While the internet was down for the last four days here at Dolores Delargo Towers - courtesy of the inept gnomes at Virgin Media - there were inevitably a few things I missed blogging about, such as...
We waved goodbye to Mistress MJ's soul mother, Miss Sylvia Kristel, esteemed star of many an "art-house" movie such as Emmanuelle, Private Lessons and Lady Chatterley's Lover. She had considerable talents...
...and she sang, too!
The fact that it was the 40th birthday on Wednesday of the gorgeous Turkish singer (and house favourite) and oh-so-not-gay-at-all Tarkan affords me the opportunity to post a "Totty of the Day" photo, even if a little late:
Kiss, Kiss, indeed.
Speaking of birthdays, one of our fave Tacky Music Monday exotic divas Veronica Castro ("Mexico's answer to Joan Collins", apparently) celebrated her 60th birthday on Friday. Any excuse to celebrate the glittering flair of this lady!
The hilarious news that Miss Sarah Brightman is apparently intending to be the first professional "musician" in space left an entire nation hoping it was a one-way ticket. In any instance, what on earth will happen to all that dreadful plastic filler she's had injected into her face when they take off?
[And as I have also missed one of my traditional "Thank Disco It's Friday" slots, this will do nicely...]
Finally, that fashion goddess 91-year-old Miss Iris Apfel was featured on the cover of trendy yoof-orientated "style magazine" Dazed and Confused - but you need to check out the Dolores Delargo Towers Museum of Camp for that one...
It's good to be back.
Well, you've more than made up for your absence!
ReplyDeleteDid ya miss me, pet? Jx
DeleteSorry about your computer problems - but glad to have you back as always!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen a Sylvia Kristel "movie" (wonder why), but I was sad to hear about her passing - the Emmanuelle films seemed almost as big as Dallas and Freddy Krueger back in the day. I obviously preferred the latter two.
Tarkan has turned 40?? Time sure flies!
Oh, and I for one demand that Miss Brightman gets a return ticket as well. I love her music and expect her to release a lot more of it (although I suppose she could set up a recording studio in space...)
Welcome back!
I can't imagine "Emanuelle goes to Elm Street", or how about "Return to Southf**k"?
DeleteI just couldn't resist that photo of Tarkan - kebab me, now!
Jx
Miss Ellie would certainly not approve!
