Although it was nice to see the lady win and get a wheel chair and exercise bike for her son with cerebral palsy, along with a freezer, a month's supply of frozen tv dinners, aluminum cookware, a sewing machine, some fashions, makeup by Merle Norman, and a drive in a golden Imperial to Universal International for her own private screening of SPARTACUS!
DR Jrand -- I think I just scared the hell out of Sugar, by bursting out laughing when I read the above, in reference to QFAD. I had forgotten how wonderfully bizarrethe "prize lists" were that those poor folks got saddled with. Yea, there was usually something that really helped them, like the wheelchair, but then the rest got so wonderfully varied. An interesting side-note: this Dec. 13th, I will play for a private Christmas party in southern California that is given by the owner of Merle Norman Cosmetics. I'll see if I can get you a gift pack!
I never once saw Mr. Stanley Kramer at his usual booth wearing a torn T-shirt, dirty jeans, and grungy sandals with dirty feet.
I've been hearing an awful lot lately about one young woman named Paris Hilton. Spoiled, nubile, rich and apparently terribly self-indulgent.
But I hadn't a clue what she looked like until I saw here last night on E. And I have to tell you, I was totally amazed at how skanky she is. That's a "now" word, yes? Skanky? She's skanky! And her young nubile friends are skanky, too. The girls look like hoes and the guys look gender-confused and bereft of fashion sensibiltities, all wearing their trousers halfway down their buttcheeks.
Did anyone notice the way I spelled "glamor?" My God, I'm turning into a Canadian!
Dr. Maya: NKOTB: I loved them, adored them, had the dolls even ! Didn't like Jordon's rattail so I cut it off:)
But let me tell you, Barbie was much happier with them than with Ken!
60s and 70s? I was pretty much born mid 80s!
On a less frivolous note, I went to see my new shrink today. (A necessity, since he's the one writing the scrip for the meds.) Nice fellow, I like him. But it seems strange to have a shrink who is clearly younger than myself!
And what else is this at broadwayworld.com? Why it's a journal of a cast member of a Broadway show! DejaVu for HHW readers!
Hey re: yesterday's mention that everyday is Queen for a Day at HHW:
You guys are very funny.
BUT, I meant we should have Queen for a Day for the women of HHW who don't get to be Queens everyday :)
Something really weird just happened. I was trying to give someone karma. I clicked on "applaud" (and forgot to check how much karma they had), but after I did it, the "boo" feature was highlighted.
I am so sorry, if I accidently booed someone. When I am allowed to give karma again, I will just in case.
Oh and btw, it is freaking freezing here. It's currently
-8C. ButI don't even want to guess what it is with the windchill. Brrrrr. Send warm vibes please!
Ann--I forgot to congratulate you! I'm glad the recital went so well!LOL...ya know...one of my girlhood
Did Ken beat up all the NKOTB dolls for macking on his woman?
I am pretty sure you can UN-DO it, Jennifer. Just go back and click on applaud...and you should see the Karma point restored.
BUT, I meant we should have Queen for a Day for the women of HHW who don't get to be Queens everyday
Do you mean to tell us that being a Drama PRINCESS isn't enough for you???????
I thought you can only give or take karma to a person once every 3 days?
TRY it! You can only give or take Karma every three days...but I think you can take back, or undo, a mistake.
TRY IT! Go back to the person you mistakenly "booed" and click on "applaud" and see if the karma doesn't get restored. That "undoes" your boo.
I don't know if you can give another karma after that, but I think you can at least restore what was taken if you are the one who took it.
Thanks DR Danise. I read about that when I saw the WONDERFUL TOWN journal, but didn't know about it before. That's just what DOTV needed - a little bit of internet buzz! :P
Yes, TRIO will have episodes of QUEEN FOR A DAY at 8 pm and 11 pm EST on Wed, Thurs, Fri. I think. WWW.triotv.com for their complete schedule!
No, DRJANE I didn't cry this time, the first four ladies didn't have such heartbreaking stories. Although it was nice to see the lady win and get a wheel chair and exercise bike for her son with cerebral palsy, along with a freezer, a month's supply of frozen tv dinners, aluminum cookware, a sewing machine, some fashions, makeup by Merle Norman, and a drive in a golden Imperial to Universal International for her own private screening of SPARTACUS!
OK, here's my very first crush. Sorry for the quality of the picture. It's Guy Madison.
Thanks to DR Jed I shall now book into the nursing home. You could have at least mentioned heartthrobs that were in their fifties like quite a few of us dear readers. Isn't there a Mrs Robinson out there somewhere? Catherine Deneuve still has it.
TCB, I was the one who said he knew Denny Miller. I just got through reading a book he's written...an anecdotal memoir...so I can write a blurb for it. What with him and BK, I'm guess I've entered my blurb-writing period.
On a less frivolous note, I went to see my new shrink today. (A necessity, since he's the one writing the scrip for the meds.) Nice fellow, I like him. But it seems strange to have a shrink who is clearly younger than myself!
And I'm clearly going to have to get back to writing, since his reaction to my telling the general outline of my life story was "This would make a good book!"
Ron.. with all do respect. There is no US v. THEM. There just is what is. How are they trying to be snarky at all times? I'm curious....
And snarky is as snarky does...
Yes, broadwayworld has begun a journal. I said it when we started Juliana's Journal that we would be imitated within weeks and there are now three or four show journals online. It's good to be the leader, and I'm happy to show these people the way. They should feel free to come here and usurp all of our special features (oops, they already have). Yes, indeedy.
True DR Jane - and how could the model look sew-fisty-kated rolling out bunkbeds? She barely could when she brought out the wheelchair?
I am too old to remember or it is too early in the morning here (where we spell like Canadians) but remember that the only Western I would watch (other than "Wagon Train" for RH) was "Tombstone Territory" and now I can't remember the name of the star. Help!
Oh, Jennifer. We had the first online journal at a website like this, written by someone in a show - period, end of story. All who followed saw what we'd done. Period end of story. And yes, it bemuses me, and yes it bemuses me.
Furthermore, I DID invent fire.
Thanks Ron. My reason for watching TT was Mr Conway. Some years later I used to watch a TV show (something about a Family but I can't remember the title) just to see the wonderful Brian Keith.

I always thought Mr Keith should have been cast in "The Winds Of War" with Polly Bergen instead of Robert Mitchum. (No I don't mean that Polly should have played the Robert Mitchum role - it's just early here OK)
I think DR Jane has coined a new word term that should come into wide usage:
HEAT THROB!
Great casting idea Jane. The show could have been so good. I would not have cast Ali McGraw as Natalie either.
Hey, was anyone here a fan of the short lived series from about a year ago called GREG THE BUNNY?Der Brucer was, but he kept forgetting when it was on. Either that, or they kept moving it. Either way, it sure disappeared quickly.
Dance of the Vampires... where have you been Dear Ron?
DR Tom, I guess I'm just not really a Hedy fan. I can't say that I've seen every movie she made, but the three or four I have seen I didn't think she did anything in them but look beautiful.

I love your new picture DR Danise! You are using your vacation time wisely! It rivals DR Emily's! ;)
I was using irony....LOL...how could I have escaped the DOTV wars? LOL. :P
Oh, and I keep forgetting - congratulations to DR Ann on her recital (NOT rectial) last night. The program sounds terrific! Something for everyone, and everything for music lovers! ;D
And congratulations to each and every Hainsie/Kimlet for the amazing achievement of crossing the ten thousand post line in only forty days. On to twenty thousand, shall we?
Well said, Danise.

Oh yes, heartthrobs...
Can't do anything with the 50s and 60s, but I will admit to you that I had crushes on the following 80s heartthrobs:
Ralph Macchio (sp?)
Kirk Cameron (sort of)
Tom Cruise (SO obvious - but I loved the man and I had every pinup that was published from 1985-1988 of him on my wall. There was no room for paint.)
Michael Douglas (had a thing for older men)
Harrison Ford (there it is again)
Marc Singer (from "V", anyone remember "V"?)
And that's pretty much it. When I got older, around college age, I added Patrick Stewart to my list. Although I didn't have any pinups.
Woke in the middle of the night and thought I'd have some chance at being the first post, but no, not with those Pacific people around.
I'll go with the three people at triangle points at the end of Splendor in the Grass: I think Zohra Lampert is amazingly sexy, and figure Natalie Wood's character must appreciate that too. These two make worthy rivals for the interest of heartthrob Warren Beatty.
I dislike Page Six, as I dislike all mean-spirited gossip columns, so I post in the hopes that I can push us onto Page Seven.
What on earth on Page 6 was mean-spirited? The worst thing that I read was that a character on a TV series was "repulsive" or something...not a person, but a character.
Have I misread something? Was this a joke that went sailing over my head?
Somebody help me figure out what was wrong!
Dear Reader Ron--
You're skipping posts again. Tsk, tsk.
As Dear Reader Joy clarified, her allusion was to Page Six (with its infamous gossip column) of the New York Post, not page six of the Haines His Way dot com Discussion Forum.
Here's my guy somewhat older, but even in this daddy bear state, I find him sexy. And next to him is heartthrob #3: Gregory Harrison. It was SO exciting to see Gregory in the FOLLIES revival a couple of years ago. I thought he was the best of the four principals. I had tickets for STEEL PIER, too, but the show closed before I got to NYC that summer.
Joy, I do remember Marc Singer and have actually met him a couple of times. If you have never seen it, I suggest you see the American Conservatory Theatre's version of TAMING OF THE SHREW in which Mr. Singer starred as Petruchio. It is quite the best version of the play I have ever seen...a wildly athletic, exhuberant, and very funny production. And for all those beefcake fans, Mr. Singer is barechested through a great deal of the show. I believe he also played Christian in ACT's version of CYRANO which is also on tape and DVD.
Good evening/morning...
DR George - I remember that pic of Gregory Harrison! It was from that TV movie where he played an actor who had just moved to New York. Unfortunately, his career doesn't take off like it did in his dreams, so he ends up taking off his clothes at a male strip club. I remember the TV movie generating a lot of buzz at the time - and it still pops up from time to time on various channels at various times of the night. Of course, the world of a male stripper turns out to be filled with some seedy goings-on, and after a close call at the club, he returns to the pursuit of his dream. Ah... Ain't TV grand? ;) *Of course, I remember trying to discreetly watch it when it came on the first time - I was in high school at the time... -What was that about "heat throbs"? :P
Don't worry, those are the only GH photos that I have. I'll never need to post them again.
