It's Doris Day again! All hail...
Many happy returns, Miss Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff (born 3rd April 1922) - she's 97, you know?!
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

my fave film of hers: "send me no flowers"
ReplyDeleteShe brightened up the screen, no matter what film she was in. Jx
Delete"I've never met an animal I didn't like, and I can't say the same thing about people."
ReplyDeleteAnd even funnier is how relevant what she is saying in those gifs, could be applied to our Dump in the white house.
...or, indeed, to many people I have had the misfortune of encountering over the years... Jx
DeleteHell hath no fury towards a handsome, well-dressed man like a woman who believes she wasn't paid enough for her time.
DeleteHmmm - not sure what your inference is, Mr or Miss "Unknown", but I somehow doubt that Doris Day ever played a prostitute. Jx
DeleteChris Rock says all a woman needs is Food, Water, and Compliments. Some (movie characters) demand -- and can get rather edgy without -- copious amounts of Adoration, Cherishment, and Treasuuring. IRL, graciousness, which is easy to apply, can often be seen, while Charm, which requires seriously hard work, is a rare bird.
ReplyDeleteSince when did the adulterous porn addict Chris Rock know anything about what women need? Jx
DeleteIndividual movies are made to appeal to a defined segment of movie ticket buyers with a preconceived view of how the world is or should be. Movies preach to the choir. Movies should never be considered enlightenment. IRL, sarcasm tends to make for open space around a person, the distance of a ten-foot pole. Some people like space. It is freely given them.
DeleteI am not sure who you are, why you are here, nor what your agenda is, but it has absolutely nothing to do with my blog post featuring a few gifs of a film starring Doris Day in 1962, in celebration of the lady's 97th birthday. Please go and find a more appropriate forum.
DeleteLove the look she gives him at the end.
ReplyDeleteThe side-eye. Not a modern phenomenon. Jx
DeleteShe had good lines, but I have to confess I’ve watched her... because of Rock Hudson!
ReplyDeleteXoXo
Ah yes, he was something else, wasn't he? Jx
