Oh, how hot..? *

Slow, slow, slow - that just about sums up how today is going, since our return from Spain late on Saturday. Despite having mental plans of things to do in the garden (while the rain holds off) and/or the flat (I have had some more pictures framed, so there's some rearranging to do to accommodate them before we run out of wall!), all I've really managed is to get some washing done.

Hey ho. I haven't forgotten, however, despite still being on holiday all this week, that it is a Tacky Music Monday - and with that in mind...

...why have just one Spanish diva to cheer us up, when you can have three?!

¡Olé!

Have a good week, dear reader.

¡Te quiero!

Dame Angela's not the only beloved diva with a milestone anniversary today [see the Dolores Delargo Towers Museum of Camp]!

There's also Señorita Carmen Sevilla, who would have been 95...

...and Miss Sugar Pie DeSanto, who would have been 90:

Diva overload!

Will it be love?*


Amen.

Another delightful week begins, and I don't even feel like I have had a weekend [I have actually done bugger all - and yesterday was a complete write-off]. But hey ho! Whatever this week in work throws at us, it's less than a fortnight before we are in Spain again...

...so on this Tacky Music Monday let's have a suitably OTT wake-up call, shall we, courtesy of one of that country's campest-of-camp "national treasures"?!

Have a good week, dear reader.

How you love *


Yup. Weekend's over, again!

Sigh. Back to the grind...

Let's thank our lucky stars that the dearly departed, magnificently camp Carmen Sevilla provided us with the perfect Tacky Music Monday moment to save the day..!

No, I have no idea what the fuck was going on there, either.

Have a great week, dear reader!

Queen bitch

The Ice Queen cometh... The extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers are looking very sorry for themselves after the most bitterly cold snowy couple of days - and there's colder nights to come! We can only wait in hope to see if our magnificent Madeira geranium, salvias and eucomis survive the experience.

This two week holiday's going well, then...

Hey ho. Let's continue our dreams of Spain [where we should be at this time of year] on this Tacky Music Monday, in the estimable company of one of our fave Divas from that country, Señorita Carmen Sevilla!

Cavorting by a pool. Sigh.

Keep warm, dear reader!

Dulces sueños



Groo. The alarm clock has gone off again, waking me from dreams of warm sunshine and palm trees; replacing them with the depressing grey, damp, dank morning light of Wood Green...

Hey ho, let's redress that situation this Tacky Music Monday - in the glittering company of one of our fave Spanish divas, Señorita Carmen Sevilla!


Oh, that's better.

Have a good one, sweeties!

Peculiar película



We may be back to work again, still wondering "what happened to that weekend" - but there is some light at the end of the tunnel, for us at least, as we start our countdown to our holiday in Spain on Saturday...

...and on this Tacky Music Monday, we have the extraordinary talents of Señorita Carmen Sevilla to start the ball rolling!

Lord only knows what this is all about, but it is apparently from an obscure 70s movie called La Cera Virgen ["The Wax Virgin"]:




¡Ten una buena semana!

Gran dama







Another day, another diva!

Sharing a birthday with our magnificent Patron Saint Angela Lansbury (who is today's latest "exhibit" in the Dolores Delargo Towers Museum of Camp) is the no less notable Spanish gran dama Carmen Sevilla, whose career also spans six decades.

A revered actress, singer and TV presenter in her homeland, it would also appear that Señorita Sevilla is the kind of diva who would be more than comfortable on one of our regular Tacky Music Mondays...

Holiday wear



Continuing our countdown to our jaunt to Spain this weekend, I just wanted to share the type of outfit we will undoubtedly be wearing...


The singer is Carmen Sevilla, another of those classic long-lost divas we love to discover. She was one of the most popular stars of Spanish film in the 50s, and is apparently alive and until recently had her own TV series, although rumour has it that she retired due to the onset of Alzheimers. How sad.
