I can't believe this has happened.

On Facebook, I just attempted to post my daily Susan Cabot photo on my SUSAN CABOT page (She was a former publicity client), and somebody on FB stopped me, saying: "This post goes against our Community Standards on spam."

They also removed it from my page, THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS.

What was the photo?

It was a studio publicity shot of Susan Cabot in a sexy waitress outfit. No nudity or suggestion of nudity, but it did show her shapely legs.

At the moment, if you want to see it, the photo is still up on my personal FB page:  https://www.facebook.com/michael.druxman

I've appealed, but...

What's going on here?

That is ridiculous.  There is nothing wrong with the photo.

I fell asleep last night and slept close to 6 solid hours waking at 4:00.  I then managed to doze on and off until 6:00. 

I wish I knew why my inner clock seems to think I need to wake up close to 4:00.

I spent a lot....well most....of yesterday downloading articles and photos of my favorite and DR ELMORE's......Allison Hayes.  She went on a few whirlwind tours to promote her films....and the photos and comments from the reporters were most amusing.

My favorite was a reporter who wrote that Allison wore a blouse that was so tight, he had trouble breathing.

I am also getting a lot of local articles and ads about and for Miss Frances Farmer when she was here in Indianapolis.

My favorite so far was when a reporter called her after she was fired from her television show and asked her if she had a comment.

She replied:  "Yes. Goodbye."

I love this duet by Vicki Lawrence (who had the #1 hit in the 1970s) and Reba McIntire, who had a country hit in the 1990s with the cover version.

"The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMD5nBcPrCk

I like the different storytelling styles that come together here - that Vicki L. was understated while Reba M. sometimes here seems to be playing to the second balcony of what looks like a studio with six or seven rows.

Last night while I was at the symphony, DD Leo (little guy) decided to play a Houdini act and got out of his pen, got in the kitchen and reached a bag of adult treats that were on the counter.  He consumed reeces pieces, Ferrero Rocher chocolates. a small bag of trail mix, and some homemade pig candy jerky.  Not enough chocolate (mostly sugar) to really worry about etc... today he is hyper - which of course is from the sugar.  I'm hoping he hits a wall soon. The "kid" has an iron stomach, he'll bounce back quickly! I told him if he's going to be stupid like that, he's on his own and I'll miss him if he doesn't make it!    Sounds harsh, I know - but i'm still paying the emergency vet bill from the Great Drug Bust of 2017.

We had a big mystery, why were the cats suddenly dumping the trash from the bathroom and making a mess with it.  One day we returned home just as the dog was jumping back into the blocked off kitchen.  Unless it is a closed crate I never trust.

We have also had cats open doors and cabinets.

Then Peyton, her mom, and I went to Genghis Cohen and had a dining adventure.  Peyton has never actually been in a Chinese restaurant before - only Panda Express.  So, this was a huge thing.  She liked the cashew chicken, loved the garlic chicken, ate most of the sole in ginger sauce, and couldn't eat the orange chicken because of her gluten problem.  Mom and I took care of the latter but good.  I don't think I've actually ordered the cashew chicken before - it has corn in it, and somehow it kind of makes the dish.  I think heretofore it's always been the Kung Pao chicken, but Peyton can't do spicy food.

Title: Re: WORKING BACKWARDS
Post by: FJL on June 08, 2019, 08:03:30 PM
 I actually think they look like they greatly increased the cabbage-to--tasty-stuff in it, maybe because the inside of egg rolls since the 1980s had them thinking people want to eat healthier.  But if that were the goal, would they order the egg roll?

Hi, John, not too bad.  What kind of dancing did we do tonight?

Only one hustle and only one merengue. Lots of cha-cha, rumba and two-step.

John, is the merengue difficult to learn?

If you can count to 2, then you can dance the merengue. The music is like a march in 2/4 time, and for the woman, or the follower, it's a matter simply of dancing right, left, right, left for the whole song. There's a little more, but it's the dance I like to use to get people out on the floor and to feel good about what they can do.

We had tons of fun.  I'm thinking of creating a web series to star Peyton for next year.  Kind of a spin-off kind of Welcome to My World thing, but with a normal-sized cast of characters and occasional musical numbers.

That'd be really cool!

this afternoon I listened to The Cher Show. Wow, what a mess. The orchestrations are boring. The singing is largely lackluster or, in the case of Stephanie Block, overly imitative. Even Emily Skinner is lackluster.

Oh, no. :-\
Title: Re: WORKING BACKWARDS
Post by: George on June 08, 2019, 11:51:35 PM
Has anybody else heard it? I wish I had a CD of Cher's Greatest Hits, which I had on vinyl back in the day. It was much better listening than this.

I have it in my wish list on Amazon because I love Stephanie J. Block, but I haven't gotten it yet.

The show had a great cast, including Donna Murphy, Norbert Leo Butz, Bryce Pinkham, Patina Miller and more.

I remember hearing about it because Josh Radnor was in it, but I didn't know about the others.
