Or you could dress him as that whiny brat Christina and whale the tar out of him with a hanger periodically.<br />Oh that movie moment where Faye Dunaway yells, No wooden hangers!!! Her face looks just like one of those Japanese Noh masks.

Or should I do my hair a la Mildred? Bab is so long suffering and kind to my whims that I hate to add "made me dress in drag as haggardly made up Bette Davis dressed as a turn-of-the-century child star" to his possible list of grievances...or do I?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-90842110040608748582012-10-12T18:55:30.875-05:002012-10-12T18:55:30.875-05:00Yeah, ankle strap platform shoes, or a reasonable ...Yeah, ankle strap platform shoes, or a reasonable facsimile.

Sequin dress, coat, hair did, eyebrows up to the sky, and all the costume jewelry I own. And a flask of vodka. Maybe I could make some kind of purse out of wire hangers... (even though it's mean, it would probably help people figure out who I was)....EXCITING.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-61570856799475603452012-10-12T08:21:33.340-05:002012-10-12T08:21:33.340-05:00They used to come on GSN at like 1 in the morning ...They used to come on GSN at like 1 in the morning and I would watch them when I couldn't sleep in college... now you can find tons of them on Youtube.

You know how lots of celebrity appearances back then would be so-o-o-o scripted, and WML is just off the cuff and funny. You never know what the mystery guest is going to do (or the panelists, for that matter). Arlene Francis! And her eyepatch! I hope I can swing an imaginary invite to that imaginary celebrity dinner party, it would be a ball!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-16288705965491468322012-10-11T21:10:34.689-05:002012-10-11T21:10:34.689-05:00Did you know the twins WEREN'T twins?

She dressed ole Ernest the Manly Man as a little girl and even kept him back a year so they could attend the same grade in school.<br />I have a great book (falling apart) about Joan. She drank 100 proof vodka, Smirnoff. She kept in in a little flask and nipped along all day. She decided to stop and...just did. <br />What a gal. Now that you have the Joan coat, and you have the example of Joanie's hairdo to follow, and I seeeem to remember a sequined dress you have. What about my idea for Halloween? You could carry around a bottle and make cryptic remarks about Clark Gable's bad breath! I'll stop now.

I think Christina Crawford has to be the biggest crybaby in the world...show me a parent who wouldn't respond negatively to her teenage daughter literally rolling in the hay!!! Also, WML? is my favorite show ever. When asked who my guests would be at my imaginary celebrity dinner party, my answer is always the panelists - especially Arlene Francis...with the eye patch!!!
