Photo of the Day!
Okay, so this really just a photo of a photo. It is of James Dean and is from the TCM Leading Men book. But, I just love it!
The Superior Scribbler Award!
Yesterday, dear, Kate-Gabrielle of Silents and Talkies gave me an award. She had been previously given the award and kindly honored me with it too. I just wanted to say, thanks ever so! (I can never help, but say that...it comes from watching "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" too much. But, hey at least I didn't use that oh-so clever, but oft-overused, "My father thanks you, my mother thanks you....." from "Yankee Doodle Dandy". ;-D) Anyways, My duty now is to pass it on to five other blogs.
I choose:
Sarah of Cinema Splendor
Why? Because she is does the most interesting posts ever. She is hilarious. And she stupendously amazingly cool.
Harly of Dreaming In Black and White
Why? Because she is almost scarily clever. She too is hilarious. She uses really cool words. And we have decided, she is (or I am) the schizophrenic version of the other.
Matilda of Matildas Delights
Why? Because her posts make me happy. She makes loverly posts, with lovely photos. And she loves "Mr. And Mrs. Smith" (with Carole and Robert) as much as I do.
Emme of songs I sing
Why? Because I love her writing, so beautiful and descriptive. And, her photos of vintage fashion are too amazing (I just loved the recent on on Vintage hats).
Genevieve of Classic Film Oasis
Why? Okay, I know Kate-Gabrielle gave this award to you too. But, I just love your posts. I mean, one has to be extremely cool to upload picture of old movie stars to a site, just to see what matches come up. And, any one who finds creepy coincidences in movies (like I am always doing) is definitely fascinating.
To those awarded here are the rules:
1. Name five other Superior Scribblers to receive this award.
2. Link to the author and name of the blog that gave you the award.
3. Display the award on your blog with this LINK which explains the award.
4. Click on the award at the bottom of the link and add your name to the bottom of the list.
5. Post the rules.
Thank you once again, Kate for this stupendous honor!

Photo of the Day! Actually, it's just another post to reassure everyone I am not crazy!
Just wanted to make sure nobody got scared for my mind after that last post...it was a private joke for a special occasion.
Anyways, Photo of the Day!
Cary Grant...so classy and cool!

Merriam: the obsessions, the wit, and the wedding
NOTE: This post is not a normal post. You will not be able to understand it, nor will you think it is funny...unless you are a member of the Miss Vintage forum. Or have specifically read this thread. If you are not a member of Miss Vintage, I definitely recommend it. It is one of the more hilarious classic movie message boards I have been involved with. Anyways, I am doing this post because of a promise to a member of the boards. I will be back to my normal, strange, delirious posting after this entry.
This post is dedicated to Merriam (hence the title). We will be dealing with three aspects of her life. Her sometimes disturbing obsessions, her famed wit, and THE wedding. Mostly THE wedding (which took place earlier today).
First the obsessions. Merriam has several obsessions. Natalie Wood, Paul Newman, and killing off Paul's wives.
Her obsession with Natalie Wood is quite admirable. I feel the same way about many of my favorites also. Her obsession with Paul Newman is...um...okaaay, except when she tries to cheat at contests, so he wins! Grrrrrr! (JK, Merriam...maybe). But, her obsession with killing off Paul's wives is downright frightening! (She recently konked Joanne on the head and threw her off a cliff into the Pacific Ocean.) And her denial of this event is even more disturbing.
But, because I told Merriam I was going to do a splendid post, commending her...I will leave this explosive subject and continue into the next aspect of Merriam (and my favorite)...her famed wit.
Merriam in short is quite hilarious. Okay next subject.
;-D To go into greater detail, Merriam can always make me laugh, much like my comrades: Harly and Sarah. Most of the time I am laughing with her, although on some occasions I am laughing at her, and other occasions I am laughing manically while planning to murder her.
And finally onto the subject for which this entire post was created. THE wedding. Since Joanne is out of the way, Merriam has been hanging out with Paul an AWFUL lot lately (after being ditched by James Dean). Finally he proposed and she accepted (she had bought a wedding dress after their first date).
I was asked to be her matron-of-honor (not maid, because I am already married to Dana Andrews), as was another member of the boards. Harly was not invited...I finally managed to get her invited, on the condition that she would be the flower girl. It was truly a lovely wedding! Below I shall include some photos taken of the event. All are the property of Merriam (unless otherwise noted).
A key to the images: Merriam=Vivien Leigh, Millie=Audrey Hepburn, Harly=Grace Kelly.
The procession.
Do take note of the Harly/Grace Kelly flower girl.
The cake cutting.
Merriam posing with us bridesmaids.
L-R: Girl from Miss Vintage, Merriam, Me, Harly.
And the ring from Paul to Merriam (I took this picture).
Do note the lovely and sweet inscription.
And that was the wedding. Those pictures really sum up exactly what kind of person Merriam is, better than I ever could.

P.S. If this post did NOT creep you out and/or scare you, then you really belong on Miss Vintage (but don't judge poorly that wonderful site, because of me).
Now, back to the regularly scheduled programming.
