Sammy Davis Jr. would have been 86 on Dec. 8th. He died 21 years ago. Here’s a little Sammy mishmosh.

Sinatra would have been 96 on Dec. 12th. He died in 1998.

Wow, here’s a relic new to YouTube. Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin LIVE at New York’s Copacabana, 1954!

Movie stars as kids… with Lee Wiley singing “A Hundred Years from Today.”

ATTACK of the 50 FT. CAMILLA

by Chexy on September 25, 2011

Here’s a ray of beige sunshine to brighten up your foggy Sunday, at least for a moment or not.

The Duchess of Cornwall pushed up her sleeves, soldered her hair and sat down to listen to little Daniel Tarjanyi, 7, read to her at the Cavendish primary school in Chiswick. His mother is a lunch lady at the school. God bless all lunch ladies everywhere.

Camilla’s previous visit to Cavendish inspired the child to read, and he’s been a non-stop reading machine ever since.

It seems that other people are finally beginning to notice Camilla’s saintly powers. She also appears to be getting larger.

Camilla Among the Schoolgirls

by Chexy on September 9, 2011

Labor Day has come and gone, but Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, broke out her white suit for a visit to Gracehill Old School in Northern Ireland on Friday, where schoolgirls presented the old girl with flowers amid a chorus of giggles.

Wearing her hair in the rugged Dutch lumberjack bob, Cam shared an unmanicured hand with a pigtailed girl, telling her, “Don’t be frightened, I’m really just a nice lady, I don’t mean to frighten you.” Who could be frightened by that face? Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Me.

Adorable prince Prince Harry, on the 14th anniversary of his mother’s death, appeared at the Wellchild awards, where he chatted with ill children.

Harry, who will be 27 in a few weeks, is now one of the most eligible bachelors in the world… if you’re into redheads.

Here’s Harry’s official coat of arms…

The red tongues and nail polish have never been explained, nor the square penises.

Camilla: Spotted in Tottenham

by Chexy on August 18, 2011

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, wore this excruciating blue leopard print catastrophe and a jacket borrowed from a 1983 Bar Mitzvah boy to attend a function at a leisure center in Tottenham on Wednesday, which is currently housing people displaced by riots and looting in the area last week. Surely someone could have looted an outfit for her. Alas.

Seen here reapplying her denture, a young boy can’t help but express himself much the way I do when I see her, while two girls marvel at the luminescence of Cam’s hair.

The duchess slipped into her vinyl Easy Spirit pumps to complete her look. And that completes my look.
