a Sunday night of romance

veiled statue by rich hugunineDorothy Parker has an heir. Please go to max‘s blog and read her story Table for Two; it is all of the things a Dorothy Parker story is except motivated by hopeless unrequited love for a closeted gay man.

I think.

Also related, this Cowboy Junkies song:

lyrics over the jump. Who’d have guessed I’d be all about the wistfulness tonight (or, indeed, ever). It probably has something to do with the first summer storm and the nostalgic smell of hot asphalt sprinkled with raindrops. Seriously, I must be undercaffeinated or sumpin’. If I go for a jog and encounter raccoon babies I might just start snivelling. Awwww, time to dig out the old Meg Ryan movies.

Actually, I’m not sure about this. Help me out with the terminology, kids…does anyone call it a tab anymore? I somehow don’t think she’s talking about a refreshing, low-calorie soft drink.

Pretty much outed, actually. Stolen from the voyeuristically delightful Celebrity Cosmetic Surgery blog, here’s a lovely little vid of before and after shots of celebrities, set to a classic tune.

Is this not the perfect place to mention that Spy reported that Angelina Jolie‘s pickup line was “Five bucks if you can guess what’s real”? That so TOTALLY would only work in LA.

the most 80’s music video of all time?

You tell me. Presenting Pat and Mick, of whom I have never heard, performing their apparent non-hit I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet. Note omnipresent ambiguous, yet powerful, sexuality, along with the presence of two Robert Palmer dancers, a great number of apparently gay boys with great asses and pleated pants, and perhaps the most heinous unironic mullet I’ve ever seen. As one of the commenters said, “Looks like an Afghan Hound trying to have sex with a Geography Teacher.”

The only real competition for this title that I can see is this classic. We are strong, dammit, and we have fabulous accessories!

It’s too bad we haven’t got a Dr Cornelius handy to interpret this auspicious-looking juncture for us. Does it mean that the werewolves will get laid tonight?
