I slept rather well, although the company of two cats wore thin sometime around 4:30: Annabelle had a hairball, Thatch likes to sleep close to me, and I'm a restless sleeper. There were too many uncomfortable moments before the alarm finally rang.

DR JOHN G - Miss Donna played two characters on Dark Shadows. The second was Amanda who was the love of Quinton Collins' life.

As they were fleeing for their lives in a 1795 parallel time episode - they had to cross a footbridge. The bridge collapsed and Amanda was killed.

Donna said when they rehearsed it, they cut the camera and she jumped a short way into what was supposed to be the gully. then they threw a handful of dirt on her.

Camera time - she jumped and they dumped a whole bag of fuller's earth on top of her.

What I remember from my junior high and high school years are tubes of Prell and jars (I think it was jars?) of Head & Shoulders. We might even have had Alberto VO-5 and others around, too, but I believe the above two are what I was using during those years.

For whatever reason people get dandruff, I think I had it enough that they gave me the Head & Shoulders to use. Later, on my own, I went to other regular shampoos, probably whatever was cheap. I discovered years later that my dad was still using H&S all the time in his old age, which I doubt anyone is really supposed to do, but I also suspect no one in our family knew how to properly care for their hair.

Dandruff was very common in the 50s and 60s, then kind of disappeared and we rarely hear about it now. I had it occasionally in my high school years, but haven't had it since - I think we all take care of our hair more from the 70s on.
Title: Re: BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALBERTO VO 5 SHAMPOO - FOR LUSTROUS HAIR

Exactly.

It was in the 70s, in fact, when I started going to decent haircutters who recommended better products.

Yes, BK solved a good puzzler for me yesterday. I'd been scanning some color slides I'd taken in L.A. in the late 1970s, and I had two that showed some outdoor performance or presentation that was set up to take place in Century City, between the Plitt and Shubert theaters. I didn't remember these two photos at all, even though they're obviously mine. But I also knew I hadn't watched whatever the event was, so I thought BK might have a clue. We had a date to go on, and he found the announcement solving the puzzle in the LA Times.

The whole discovery is a bit of serendipity:  Stephen Schwartz's The Magic Show was on stage at the Shubert (sadly, I never saw it) and there just happened to be a Friday the 13th coming up, so they put a stage setting and two pianos out there in the plaza and were about to hold an amateur magician's contest that Friday at noon, and have a few songs performed by the cast of the show. I have no idea what I was doing there on a Friday during the day, but I walked by and took those pictures, and I'll just bet there are very few others in existence. BK was busy with The First Nudie Musical at the time (this was in June 1975) so he didn't see it either. So once again, newspapers.com saves the day.

Here's the better picture of the two. The other one thankfully gave us a hint of what was playing at the movie theeder then, so we had a date to go on.

DR JOHN G she was laughing when she told the story.

Dark Shadows was taped. Their "time" with the ABC Tape Bank was 3:15 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The show was broadcast at 3:30 p.m. so no one got to see themselves if they were in the episode being recorded. No retakes unless disaster struck....

I've been trying to remember what I once heard: was Malaria imported by Jeffrey Epstein to work in Tramp's escort modeling agency?

Paolo Zampolli
Melania Trump was brought to the United States by Paolo Zampolli, who sponsored her immigration in 1996 while she was working as a model in New York City. After securing a green card in 2001, she became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2006.

Yes, BK solved a good puzzler for me yesterday. I'd been scanning some color slides I'd taken in L.A. in the late 1970s, and I had two that showed some outdoor performance or presentation that was set up to take place in Century City, between the Plitt and Shubert theaters. I didn't remember these two photos at all, even though they're obviously mine. But I also knew I hadn't watched whatever the event was, so I thought BK might have a clue. We had a date to go on, and he found the announcement solving the puzzle in the LA Times.

The whole discovery is a bit of serendipity:  Stephen Schwartz's The Magic Show was on stage at the Shubert (sadly, I never saw it) and there just happened to be a Friday the 13th coming up, so they put a stage setting and two pianos out there in the plaza and were about to hold an amateur magician's contest that Friday at noon, and have a few songs performed by the cast of the show. I have no idea what I was doing there on a Friday during the day, but I walked by and took those pictures, and I'll just bet there are very few others in existence. BK was busy with The First Nudie Musical at the time (this was in June 1975) so he didn't see it either. So once again, newspapers.com saves the day.

Here's the better picture of the two. The other one thankfully gave us a hint of what was playing at the movie theeder then, so we had a date to go on.



Nice photo and story to go with it.

It’s a long story but I took a job when I first moved to NYC as an assistant to a photographer who lived in a hotel in Mt. Kisco. She was bizarre, but every day she had appointments to show her portfolio to some of the wealthiest people in Greenwich, CT. And every day, ended the same way. Stop at Caldor and buy the most bottles of White Rain shampoo I could get for $50. And the next day, I’d show up in her hotel room to pick her up, and every bottle would be empty. Just a big pile of empty bottles. What she did with it, I’ll never know. I think if you spent all night pouring 20 bottles of shampoo directly down the drain, you couldn’t make it disappear like that.

Does anyone like Peter Greenaway’s movies? I have liked some. Others were rot. The one I have on now, A Zed and Two Naughts, is more rot than not.

He made Prospero’s Books, 8 1/2 Women, The Draughtsman’s Contract and more. Perhaps his most famous/infamous work is The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.

A Zed and Two Naughts spells ZOO. In the movie, a zoo with amputee animals, human limbs are grafted onto the animals. There’s plenty of nudity, trash, hysteria, classism and pretentiousness. And great colors and cinematography.

Rodzinski, I was wondering, too, whether you got paid for those three weeks.

She wrote me a check, and by the time I got home she had her girl assistant call to tell me my services were no longer needed. The check did clear at least.

I'm not planning to use notation software much until I'm out of my non-compete agreement in January. I'm up to date with the latest Dorico and Sibelius, so we'll see when the time comes. My latest notation task was with Finale, when I was asked to help clean up some Finale files.

He made Prospero’s Books, 8 1/2 Women, The Draughtsman’s Contract and more. Perhaps his most famous/infamous work is The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.

For a hot minute during the 1990s, I was into the music of Michael Nyman.  Except for 8 1/2 Women, Nyman wrote the soundtrack score for all the others that you mentioned.
