Real Gone Places: Hotel Piccadilly, Times Square

by Chexy on December 21, 2011

The majestic Hotel Piccadilly, as it stood in Times Square… and below, as it appears today… the unfortunate Marriott Marquis.

Below is the regal main restaurant of the Piccadilly…

and here’s the lobby of the Marriott…

I’ll be stopping at the Piccadilly.

Sounding Like an Idiot Has a Name: Vocal Fry

by Chexy on December 15, 2011

The Kardashianification of speech among young women was analyzed on the “Today” show today.

Linguistics experts are unsure what the long-term effects will be… but in the short-term, it will be annoying.

How Will I Know You? Bad Christmas Sweater

by Chexy on November 28, 2011

It would be hard to top this delish-a-trocius sweater for sheer horribleness, but over the next few weeks, I’ll try.

One couldn’t pay for this sweater, she had to have made it herself. This is what happens when you drink and sew.

Here’s a holiday wrap that invites you to bring on the egg nog… and pour it all over this mess. Ho ho ho.

The Most Hideous Lamp Ever

by Chexy on November 6, 2011

Chexydecimal Studio City Bureau Chief Andy (also former London Bureau Chief) spotted the catastrophic lamp (I think it’s a lamp) at the Pasadena City College Flea Market this morning. It might have been owned by Andy’s favorite drag queen, Isolde Thandirt. But I doubt it.

If you’re going for the Retrocious look, this mess is for you.

The shade is a lullaby of something someone once thought was a good idea. Imagine it lit. Just don’t eat first.

The base, which I suppose could be said has a sub-Saharan feel to it, includes plenty of nooks and crannies for dust to gather, or for adding smaller decorative items.

Loretta Lynn Sickened by Country Music

by Chexy on October 24, 2011

I’m not the only one. Country Barbie Queen Loretta Lynn, 76, is recuperating at home from a bout of bacterial pneumonia, which sent her to the hospital this weekend following a gig in Kentucky or some such place where people go to see Loretta Lynn.

Country music is clearly not good for you.

Birthday: Helen Thomas

by Chexy on August 4, 2011

Nonogenarian Jew-hater and disgraced doyenne of the White House Press Corps, Helen Thomas turns 91 today.

Yasser Arafat hasn’t been dead long enough (just since 2004).

In October, the Council on American-Islamic Relations gave Thomas a lifetime achievement award.

Camilla: The Dress That Makes Babies Cry

by Chexy on July 25, 2011

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, attempts to comfort a child, who like me, is screaming over this damned dot dress that will not die.

The Duchess was seen once again in this Seussian monstrosity while at The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service event in Birmingham today.

Cam wore the same getup just last month at Wimbledon…

And here are the other recent sightings…

She wore it to the Flower show last July 28 (above), and just five days prior to that at the West Wiltshire show (below).

and last June 22…


and in April before that…

Please, please write to Betty Deuce and beg her to stop Camilla from wearing this outfit. Think of England!
