The results are in…

Here are the results for my latest poll: "Which actor was the best at screwball comedy":

Aww, poor Clark, Joel, and Gary with ZERO votes….ah, well, we still love them…right?






And the runner-up (and my personal choice) is William Powell with six votes.


And the “surprising” winner is…….

Cary Grant! With twelve votes.

Be sure and vote in my next poll which promises to be the most explosive yet…

P.S. Pay no attention to the strange size of the letters...having a few troubles!

Morphing fun...

I was really, REALLY bored the other night, and I happened to come across a very interesting site called MorphThing. I was seriously fascinated. Not, only do they have millions of today's celebrities (ugggh), but that also have a small amount of classic stars, plus you can upload your own pictures. Here are a few of my favorite morphs:


Marilyn Monroe + Audrey Hepburn= Audryn Monburn


Marilyn Monroe + Grace Kelly= Marilace Kellroe


Marilyn Monroe + Ingrid Bergman= Inglyn Monman


Audrey Hepburn + Ingrid Bergman= Audrid Bergburn


Audrey Hepburn + Me = Millrey!

Okay, the one of me was just for fun! It really does look like me. I got Audrey's face shape and eyebrows, and she got me mouth and nose. We have pretty similar eyes though.


That site was so much fun, check it out if you have time...and have fun morphing (they had other stars too, like Elizabeth Taylor and Ann-Margaret).

Oh, yeah 12:00 exactly!....um not anymore....Junk it!


An absolutely ADORABLE photo of Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, and children!

What The Monkees write, says about them...according to me...

I absolutely ADORE The Monkees! They make me happy, they have amazing songs, and they are way cooler than the Beatles! (Not to start a fight or anything ;-D.)

I collect memorabilia of The Monkees and have almost all the albums (in their original release records). I recently found "The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees" at little bookstore. It isn't my favorite in cover artwork (Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. is the best), but I just had to own it!

Anyways, I was looking at the back of the record.

And I just love reading what they all had to say.

Mike: Blue is blue and must be that but yellow is none the worse for it: hearing only with ears-seeing only with eyes-feeling only with fingertips-and this and that creeps aways-never having been known by men to whom it would-not have mattered anyway. Stand easy children for God is good and speaks softly to all men. Love, Carlisle Wheeling

Okay, so that makes almost no sense. BTW, Carlisle Wheeling is the name of a song Mike wrote (those are not lyrics though). This is so totally Mike. He was always the "real" artist (or the "Smart Monkee" as he was called). And this is definitely something he would do...to show how "real" and "organic" he was.

Davy: Why are we forever weaving new ties to bind us to Earth. -Edith Sidebottom [signed] David

Now, this sounds absolutely like Davy. He is "trying" to be as "real" and "organic" as Mike. But, just can't break out of his "adorable, short, Brit" image.

Peter: Love Peter Tork

Peter is one of the cooler Monkees (my personal favorite). He could and did play almost every instrument EVER created (and a few I'm still not sure about...)! This was his way of not "trying" to be "cool". And it ends up being much better than those above mentioned.

Mickey: MIJACOGEO [signed] Mickey Dolenz

Mickey is just too cool. I think this is rather funny, because in a small way, Mickey sends up Mike and Davy's "seriousness". And, MIJACOGEO means: MIchael, JAnelle, COco, GEOrge. Mickey, his mom, his sister, and dad. You just gotta love Mr. Dolenz!


Anyways, these are just a few reflections on the band who in 1967 managed to outsell The Beatles and The Rolling Stones put together. (The Monkees had four number one albums that year, too!)

They aren't technically acurate observations, but the capture the essence of the band. And just because I didn't think Mike and Davy's blurbs were as cool as Peter and Mickey's does not mean I don't love them... ;-D
