The much-missed Betty White, whose centenary it is today
Eartha Kitt would have been 95 today
Moira Shearer (17th January 1926 – 31st January 2006)
Dalida (17th January 1933 – 3rd May 1987)
A cavalcade of icons, all born on the same day!
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."

Betty White Bread
It's Betty White Day again - the lady herself, one of our icons and eminent Patron Saints blows out 98 candles on her cake today!
She really IS the best...
Betty Marion White Ludden (née White; born 17th January 1922)
[PS "Diva season" is definitely upon us! Also born on this day were Eartha Kitt, Dalida, Moira Shearer and - erm - Shari Lewis. Yesterday it was Susan Sontag, Sade, Marilyn Horne and Miss Merman; tomorrow Jane Horrocks; and Sunday it's Tippi Hedren and Dolly Parton!]

Why would I think of retiring?
"Don't try to be young. Just open your mind. Stay interested in stuff. There are so many things I won't live long enough to find out about, but I'm still curious about them. You know people who are already saying, 'I'm going to be 30 - oh, what am I going to do?' Well, use that decade! Use them all!"
"I have a two-story house and a bad memory, so I'm up and down those stairs all the time. That's my exercise."
"I really don't care with whom you sleep. I just care what kind of a decent human being you are."
"I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It's that simple."
"Why would I think of retiring? What would I do with myself?"
It's another Betty White Day!
Happy 94th birthday, Betty Marion White Luddon (born 17th January 1922).

If you wanna be tough...
“Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding”
“If one has no sense of humour, one is in trouble.”
“I'm a teenager trapped in an old body.”
“Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren't going to get rid of me that way.”
The fantabulousa Miss Betty White (born 17th January 1922)
