RUBBING ELBOWS

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, we had a lively and sparkling time at the Hollywood Collector’s Showcase yesterday. We all felt that the attendance was down – there were times when it was very crowded, but there were also times when it was very easy to get to any of the major celebrities, which hasn’t always been the case. Still and all and also all and still, we had a great time, sold some photos, sold some books and sold some DVDs, and rubbed elbows with many nice celebs and fans. The most popular people there were clearly Mrs. Partridge and Miss Paroo herself, Miss Shirley Jones, and Mr. Mini-Me himself, Vern Troyer. We were on the middle aisle again as we were last year, and I was seated next to a 1996 Playmate whose name, I’m afraid, I can’t remember – I think it was Sandy something, but I’ll get it today so you can know tomorrow (or tonight, at chat). She had an interesting array of photos and many drooling boys of all ages came over to her and bought her items and then had photos taken with her. On the other side of us was the very funny Fred Travalina. Directly behind us was the very surly Michael Madsen and behind us and to the left was the marvelous director, Ronald Neame, and his Poseidon stars, Miss Stella Stevens and Miss Carol Lynley. I gave Miss Stella Stevens a copy of Kritzerland so she could read about herself. Our pal Miss Joanie Sommers was there, too, and it was wonderful to see her. Our very own Nick Redman and his very own beautiful daughter Rebecca were with us all day. Screenwriter Charles Pogue (who will be the subject of an upcoming Unseemly Interview) introduced me to the still beautiful and still buxom Miss June Wilkinson – I took several photos which I promise will be up on this here site this week (along with the session photos). Directly across from us was director Vincent Sherman and next to him was Mr. Fly himself, David Hedison. Also in attendance was our friend Scott Schwartz (the actor not the director), the amazing Tura Satana (of Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill), our pal Johnny Crawford, and many others. I had a lovely little chat with Shirley Jones, and I also said hey to the now grown Brian and Suzanne, who played the youngest Partridges. And now I must hurry along and get ready to go back, and if you’re in Los Angeles, California, we hope you’ll drop by.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below so we can rub elbows with the next section.

I do believe the newest entry in Juliana’s Journal will be up today so check it out (there will probably be a knew entry every other day) and check out Donald’s new radio show, the most popular radio show on all the Internet.

Tonight is our Unseemly Live Chat, so come and rub elbows at six o’clock Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time. Be there or be round.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must rub elbows and hobnob, not necessarily in that order, I must partake of Diet Coke and then I must get myself over to the show. I’ll have a full report about today’s goings on in tomorrow’s notes. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s free-for-all day, the day in which you get to discuss any old thing you care to, so let’s have some lively and sparkling dear reader topics and lets post until the cows come home so I have lots to read upon my return. Post away, my pretties, and I’ll see you at chat.
