Betty Deuce to the Games!

by Chexy on September 5, 2010

Betty Deuce, looking like a box of See’s Candy, took the kids, Chuck and Anne, out for a day at the Highland Games in Braemar on Saturday. The elderly tots were well behaved until Chuck told one of his vulgar stories, which Anne clearly enjoyed…

and her majesty did not.

Camilla did not appear, as Charles looked better in a skirt than she did.

Chexy’s Saturday Matinee

by Chexy on September 4, 2010

Let’s kick it off sweet with Cole Porter’s “Let’s Fly Away,” sung by Lee Wiley, with a Bunny Berigan solo. Recorded 1940.

And now, a really fun tribute to Busby Berkeley.

You know your Chexy loves him some Art Deco. Yes, I just said that.

Remembering Peg Entwistle, died Sept., 1932.

Havana Gila

by Chexy on September 3, 2010

Undead Cuban dictator and human rights violator Fidel Castro, 84, claps after delivering a speech at the University of Havana on Friday… and a cymbal monkey.

So alike, and yet only one will eventually stop playing the same tune because it will be dead.

Dionne Warwick and cutie actor Lee Mead as they appeared Thursday at a presser to launch World Hunger Day at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London. On World Hunger Day, January 9th 2011, Dionne will warble at a benefit concert for the Hunger Project, a global charity in 13 countries working toward the sustainable end of world hunger.

Nice.

Here’s Dionne in 2004.

Chexy’s Fashion Report: Jeffree Star

by Chexy on September 3, 2010

With the holiday weekend here, internet star and pseudo-singer/model Jeffree Star reminds us that before leaving the house, one should always remove one item from our ensemble. This is how J.Star appeared at the Krap Von D gallery opening in WeHo last night.

The gloves are just a little over the top… although my friend Brian says it’s the purse that “doesn’t go.”

Red Sonja

by Chexy on September 3, 2010

Queen Sonja of Norway, wearing what I can only hope is some sort of ceremonial garb, as seen Thursday in Luster at the reopening of Urnes Stave Church, which is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. And the Queen of Diamonds.

So alike, and yet only one was born on the 4th of July, 1937.

Radical Chic

by Chexy on September 2, 2010

Musical brothers Joel and Benji Madden (left or right, doesn’t matter) as seen last night at a Good Charlotte concert in Sydney, and executed 1920′s anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti.

So alike, and yet only two of them were definitely guilty — of bad taste.

Walk Like an Egyptian

by Chexy on September 2, 2010

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak breaks into an unexpected two-step in the White House East Room, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu walks past him.

President Obama, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud “Grumpy” Abbas and King Abdullah II of Jordan briefly applauded, and then they all went into another round of peace talks, followed by a round of pinochle and a deli platter.

Oy, that Hosni, such a kibbitzer!
