the woman in gold reminds me strangely of an indian mary richards… having a stroke!

What better way to kickstart this blog again than with this delightful reminder from the 70s that no man will want you, unless you have a flawless figure!

Now is the moment.
I kick against the tide,
Pull from the momentum
Counter evolution.
Thwart velocity.
Turn.
Stop.
Revolve.
Feel the pull of expectation
Wash over me.
Twist my neck,
Arch my back,
Bend my torso
Against the force.
Powerful,
Intoxicating.
In a moment
The sediment,
Indifference,
And complexity
Crack to pieces.
Little glass tubes
Shattered
Release rainbows
Licorice ropes of light.
An orchestra of love
Embraced.
An eternity within a moment.
BLINK

There’s just something hypnotic about the neon polyester rhythms of these Italian disco divas. And anyone who can use Speedy Gonzales as a source of creative expression deserves some mad props!

I can’t stop singing this song, song, SONG! This catchy kitschy peppy pop wonder by Dutch group Teach-In won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1975, the year of my birth. Coincidence? Very likely.

Favorite Lyric:
“There will be no sorrow, when you sing tomorrow and you walk along with your Ding-Dang-Dong!”

i met the man behind the video above, adam, through my work at lavender. he’s wonderfully talented and offered to collaborate with my alter ego, wanda, on an upcoming video project for the holidays. i’m very excited to be working with him and hope you’ll like the fruits of our labor! stay tuned!

My dearest Tupperware-touting Aunt Barbara’s upcoming holiday special boasts quite a comprehensive cast!

My new favorite swingin’ sixties siren, France Gall, teased dirty old men everywhere with this franco-phallic fellatio fest! Oh, and my favorite line:

“when the anise-flavoured sugar flows down Annie’s throat, she’s in paradise”

Thanks to the lovely Jeff, my morning started off with this delicious performance by the beautiful, powerful Nina Simone.
