I simply couldn't be bad

Miss Hedy Lamarr gets a Google Doodle on her birthday [well... she wasn't just a stunningly beautiful film star - she did invent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, I suppose].

The equally impressive Miss Dorothy Dandridge [above], who shares her birthday - and died, prematurely, 50 years ago - doesn't get anything.

Never mind - on this Tacky Music Monday it is a rather rare appearance by the latter that I have selected to cheer us up as we prepare for another week's toil!

Have a good week, folks.

Explosive!

A weekend of Tatchell, Trindy (whose glam-rock show at Halfway to Heaven rounded off Friday rather nicely) and fireworks - followed by a well-deserved day of rest yesterday - is over too soon. It's back to getting up in the dark and the general gloom of work again...

Never mind, we have Eve Ferret (again) and Hazel O'Connor (!) to look forward to tonight, and I have found something rather fab to cheer us up on this Tacky Music Monday - as another of Saturday's birthday girls, the sublimely talented Miss Dorothy Dandridge joins forces with the Nicholas Brothers and the Glenn Miller Orchestra!

Too faboo!

Have a good week, dear reader.
