Actually, that's the best I've ever seen Rice look. She must be responding to the "power in Smokey's soul."

I would, too. I really dig his black tie, black shirt, black jacket affair.

Also, I had no idea that Zubin Mehta was still around. How can one not enjoy a name like "Zubin?"

As for Webber, he can kiss my flabby gay ass. How many of those sing-alongs at the piano bar were spoiled by old queens bellowing selections from The Phantom of the Opera, getting in the way of my chance to render a full-throated "St. Louis Blues" in the style of Bessie Smith?!

[Whew! Is that an axe grinding, or just my teeth?]

[watertiger]

I blame Webber for the downfall of the B'way musical.

BTW, Huey Lewis will be performing in "Chicago." I rest my case.

[spork_incident]

Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Wow, that Dolly is one taut, taut woman.

I think Thomas Jefferson is making eyes at Condi.

Mehta and Lloyd-Weber are being forced apart by Parton's gravitational field.

No, I don't think Condi looks good at all. Note to Condi - posture, dear. Stand up straight, for dog's sake!!!

And women of a certain age --- believe me, I am authorized to speak -- should not wear SHINY FABRICS and should not wear decolletage....unless you're Dolly Parton, and then anything is fine.

I think it's unwise for the Secretary of State of the US to dress like a bridesmaid.

g, that or she is (what I first thought)recycling her 30-something-year-old prom dress. That dress looks wretched on her...what the hell was she thinki...oh, wait, nevermind. One would have to have the ability to think to accomplish such a feat - judging by her comments about waiting until she is 'safely' away to Stanford's garrets to spill any modicum of beans on the 'problems' this assministration has caused in Iraq.
If she would let herself ponder the reality and tragedy of the situations, she would do the honorable thing, write this all down and hoist herself on her own petard (the green shiny budget bridesmaid/prom gown would be a nice accent).

re Dolly:
Almost immediately, she met the man who became her husband, a contractor named Carl Dean, who rarely appears with her in public and will not be attending the Kennedy Center Honors. After accompanying her to an awards ceremony in 1966, he told her, "I am not going to any more of these wingdings." And, she writes in her book, "He has been a wingdingless man of his word ever since."

Ms. Parton would have driven Coco "Bosoms are for barbarians" Chanel to distraction! As for Mr. Mehta, when he was with the LA Symphony, I regularly attended performances and kept my eyes shut. He drew marvelous sounds from the orchestra (which was pretty damned good, by the way), but his peculiar body language always suggested an orgasmic eel with baton. I found it unsettling.

Why have I shared this with you? Color me clueless. Perhaps I'm growing senile.

[TeddySanFran]

Is this that same hideous not-green-not-purple fabric Condi's not-husband's wifebot got on clearance at Discount Fabric or Calico Corner last month?

Does Karen Hughes advise W's not-wives and wifebot on what and how to dress and where? Because there is no gay-male sensibility there.

Bonus catch: 'Sleezza's pinky at far right of this snap!!

[TF-MA]

At first I thought, isn't it rather early for Condi's medal or is that meddle?

Rather undistinguished group of honorees (though I like Dolley) especially with Speel-burg hacking into the camera with his smug, entitled lookin' faux smile.

[lavalamp]

Bob Dylan once referred to Smokey Robinson as the greatest living poet.

Carl Dean = Steadman Graham

Mme X--an orgasmic eel? How do you know about such things, or did I have too-sheltered a Scots upbringing?

Hey, them's some nice-lookin' wimmins...

[Lizard Breath]

It looks as though Andrew Lloyd Webber and Dubya share the same cosmetic dentist.

[NYMary]

I think it's unwise for the Secretary of State of the US to dress like a bridesmaid.

Look, she bought the damn thing, she has to wear it somewhere.

The new Manned Mission to Mars crew pose for their pre-flight photo-op. Missing from the photo is Richard Simmons and Alan Thicke.
Godspeed, all.

[xristm]

emale, no, despite what you may think, I do not spend any time peeping through refractive windows into the watery boudoirs of eels having sex! My own experience of orgasmic eels is probably as limited as your own. Somehow, however, it's the phrase that presented itself to me the first time I kept my eyes open to watch Mr. Mehta conduct -- he was then quite slim, clad in black tux, and his body was arched in what can only be described as "a most peculiar fashion"!!!

Thanks for the chuckle!

Poor Condi --- always a bridesmaid, never the bride...
