RIP, "Hotlips Hoolihan" (Loretta Swit, 4th November 1937 – 30th May 2025)
Another busy day in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers in the warmth and the sunshine - it took a few hours to give the pots a bloody good watering (we've neglected them since last weekend, and some of them were bone dry), a job that I am very pleased I managed to finish just before the hose sprung a leak! I also potted-on a few specimens that needed doing - including another new Salvia that the Madam brought home after work. I've not long finished, and enjoying a much-needed cider...
All day, it's been a mixed bag of music - starting with classical, then Radio 1 Dance (which had to go off after while as it became a bit too drum'n'bass-heavy), then the ever-reliable Rylan on Radio 2; always a jolly show. He also plays some musical gems, some of which don't get played very often - including this one (another choon I haven't heard in ages)!
Love that video...
Those shoes! Where are they now?
ReplyDeleteOn some tacky drag queen or other, most likely. Jx
DeleteI loved how Loretta Swit transformed her character on MASH from a misogynist punchline.
ReplyDeleteShe knew she was worth better than that! Jx

DeleteLoved Hotlips another sad loss.
ReplyDeleteI love almost everything Van Helden has done and I keep shouting at the radio - drum'n'bass ain't Dance music; well "St. Vitus' dance" music maybe.
I know. I've heard you shouting at the radio. Often. 🤣🤣🤣 Jx
