Chexy’s Saturday Matinee

by Chexy on November 19, 2011

Are you ready for the next Roaring Twenties?

President Kennedy was killed 48 years ago, November 22, 1963. Here’s Jack losing his temper over… well, just listen. It’s a side of JFK you’ve likely never heard.

Marvin Gaye… gone too soon. The most moving rendition of the National Anthem, ever.

Joni Mitchell… timeless.

in chexy's saturday matinee, dancing with the stars, kennedys, music, remembering, stuff I like

You’re former wrestler Stacy Keibler, you’re “dating” George Clooney and you have a Snookified hairdo that makes you look like an unfortunate Shirley Jones female impersonator. You’re at a glam Hollywood charity event for the launch of the Beauty Book for Brain Cancer being held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Things are great. Until…

George’s most recent “ex,” Elisabetta Canalis, shows up.

Your only consolation is that she looks like a bit of roadkill in that shmatta she’s wearing.

‘Glee’: Upcoming ‘Mash Off’ Episode

by Chexy on November 10, 2011

If you missed last week’s “Glee” with the “West Side Story” theme, be sure to look it up… it was easily one of the best episodes, masterfully crafted and beautifully realized.

My friend Bri at TooFab shared this video this morning, and I wanted to share it as well. Amber Riley and Naya Rivera just eat this up.

Betty Deuce Busts a Move

by Chexy on October 28, 2011

Betty Deuce, having just met Nigerian leader Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (with hat), and thinking he was MC Hammer, breaks into an informal break dance.

Betty is still in Perth, today for the three-day Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, also known as CHOGM.

Can’t touch this.

Betty Deuce is Unamused

by Chexy on October 27, 2011

Her Majesty is clearly not interested in these Aboriginal dancers, as seen during Betty’s visit to Clontarf Aboriginal college on Thursday in Perth.

Then they gave her a football. Clearly her first time holding one.

She was tackled.

In Praise of Chaz

by Chexy on October 26, 2011

I’ve got to give it up for Chaz Bono. Man, he’s got a lot of balls. The first transsexual to appear on “Dancing with the Stars.” There’s a claim to fame for the ages. Forget about being Cher’s son and former daughter, he’s on his own here.

He took his difference and made it real for him, doing what he needed to do for his happiness, taking all the criticism from types who don’t like that sort of thing and make it known.

No matter, Chaz persisted, despite his bad knees and critics, his abundant avoirdupois no impediment to his not-so-quick quickstep… well, hardly any.

Here’s to the courage of Chaz, a real transformer performer, an example to all those with desires that are troublesome for some, but who just go on and do the work they’re here to do.

Bravo, mister.
