This weekend, I am mostly dressing casual...

...like today's birthday girl Dame Joan Henrietta Collins!

"I have never been the mousy, stand-two-paces-behind, obedient 'little woman' type."

Amen to that.

Thought for the Day

"Gay guys like a certain kind of woman. They like a flamboyant woman that's broken. They like a balls-to-the-wall woman, motherly but not; sexual but not. Gay guys are like this: they either love you or they don't even know you're on the planet. Once you have them, you have them."

Cher (born Cherilyn Sarkisian, 20th May 1946)

Keep away...

...Mama's going shopping!

Who on earth has a "butt double" these days?

“The men may be the head of the house, but the women are the neck and they can turn the head any way they want.”

“I get a sensual feeling from my own singing voice. When I am right, whether I'm moaning or winging it, I just fly. I soar. I get all caught up in myself. And baby, when that happens, you just know the audience has to be with me, having a ball.”

“I had a butt double in Lust In The Dust.”

“I’ve reinvented myself over and over again. It’s hard work but I enjoy my career... I’m proud of my ability to survive.”

“In the 60’s you had to cover your breasts so that no cleavage would show. They would put gauze over my breasts. Dean [Martin] came on the air and looked down at my chest and said, 'Your net, doesn’t cover your gross.'”

The Matriarch of All She Surveys is 80 years old today.

Many happy returns, Miss Lainie Kazan (born Lainie Levine, 15th May 1940)!

Licking Elsie

Not one, but two sets of stamps are being issued to mark the 60th anniversary of the world's longest-running television soap opera Coronation Street, featuring some of our favourite characters, including Elsie Tanner, Ena Sharples, Hilda Ogden, Deirdre Barlow, Bet Lynch, Vera Duckworth, Raquel Wolstenhulme and Rita Sullivan. But no Annie Walker nor Betty Turpin...

The stamps are available to pre-order from the Royal Mail and will be in circulation from 28th May 2020.
