Bring on the tap dancing kids.
Refaced Scientologist Greta Van Susterin interviews molten hot First Lady wannabe Callista Gingrich. Keep an eye on her hair.
Rockin’ it old school… Linda Hopkins.
From 1934′s “Down to Their Last Yacht,” the strangest big musical number of the era. It just keeps getting better, and by better, I mean I can’t believe it. Wait for the ship scene.

In 1957, Modern Mechanix said that within ten years we’d be driving to work in these.
I guess they meant fedoras.
I’m going to make a prediction. Within 10 years, you’ll drive your iPhone36 to work.

Martin Scorsese, as seen last night at some screening in NYC, and Statler of the Muppets.
One has real eyebrows.

No, this isn’t some tanning parlor accident in New Jersey.
These are Shiite Muslims beating themselves silly in the wacky ritual of Ashura, as seen at the Karbala mosque. They’re beating themselves over the killing of Imam Hussein, grandson of Prophet Mohammed… in the 7th century.
In Yiddish, this is called “mishagoyim.”

Here’s an unlikely duo… Betty Deuce ran into Yoko Ono at the Museum of Liverpool. Imagine that.
Betty is 85, Yoko is 78.

Here’s an idea for a great new comedy film! Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall co-starring with Mr. Bean! But I don’t know if the Teamsters would handle her hair.
That was the scene yesterday when Rowan Atkinson and Cam appeared together for the opening of the new Shulman Auditorium at The Queen’s college 2011 in Oxford. Camilla’s dainty mitt is carrying a purse that appears to be from a 1975 Sears catalog. Her hands are as dainty as a pickaxe.
She’s also resurrected her favorite purple and green plaid, which is always a lovely complement to an ill-fitting blouse borrowed from my high school English teacher, Miss Chambers.
Hollywood, please cast these two!

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.
