Mama said knock you out! ThisGirl’s latest addition to her ring collection via Urban Outfitters.
We are dying to see this.
Thanks, suicideblonde.
Blanche DuBois may well be the great part for an actress in the American theater, and I have seen her portrayed by an assortment of formidable stars including Jessica Lange, Glenn Close, Patricia ClarksonNatasha Richardson. Yet there’s a see-sawing between strength and fragility in Blanche, and too often those who play her fall irrevocably onto one side or another. and
Watching such portrayals, I always hear the voice of Vivien Leigh, the magnificent star of Elia Kazan’s 1951 movie, whispering Blanche’s lines along with the actress onstage. But with this “Streetcar,” the ghosts of Leigh — and, for that matter, of Marlon Brando, the original Stanley — remain in the wings. All the baggage that any “Streetcar” usually travels with has been jettisoned. Ms. Ullmann and Ms. Blanchett have performed the play as if it had never been staged before, with the result that, as a friend of mine put it, “you feel like you’re hearing words you thought you knew pronounced correctly for the first time.”
The New York Times’ review of Cate Blanchett in ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ is a thing of beauty in itself. And yes, they did just say there that she was essentially a better Blanche than Vivien Leigh. That’s high praise indeed. Read the whole review here.
ThisGirl loved being a redhead. Maybe it’s time to go back …
Thanks, callmecordelia!
Goodness, I wish I was a redhead. :(

ThisGirl thinks Britney looks good though.
Oh wait … it’s Amanda Bynes? She can’t be happy with this.
jgh:
Get a load of this.
My jaw dropped. My mouth opened involuntarily, I had to shut it. This is a real thing that happened in the supermarket aisle today. I thought the guy next to me who was staring was creepy then realized I would probably stare too if I saw a person have a visceral reaction to a magazine cover.
“Your Hoo-Ha Handbook” is what really ups the class. Also, a sexy vagina? I thought vaginas were just sexy since they’re partially for… sex.
I’m just waiting to see this month’s Esquire, hopefully with a corresponding headline. Something like:
YOUR DICKTIONARY
Get a Healthy, Sexy Penis in 5 Easy Steps!
See, other generations has recessions too.
“This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.”
