That's often a noted item even when women carry purses, like in the 80s when on Dynstay and Dallas the actresses carried these clutch bags that obviously had NOTHING in them.  . . now Julia is obviously fond of handbags (she had several over the course of the series + her medical bag) and gloves. . .i'm guessing this may have been a choice of the actress, wanting character-props since they took her cigarettes away after the dream curse/Chris jennings timeframe.  . .

The perpetual reruns of Buck Rogers have allowed me to confirm two things:

(1) that Gil Gerard is nowhere near the hunk I thought he was when I watched the show as a kid

(2) that spandex is not for everyone

Now that I'm secure in the knowledge of these two things, I don't need to see the show ever again. 

I agree. . i used to luv Buck Rogers and his android thing. .Twiggy was it?  And even then i thought Admiral Wilma was gettin' a raw deal (dismissed as unattractive?) but she really is the only one who could pull off the Spandex.  . Now .. i see it and groan. . You know the whole Wilma, Buck and Princess Ardala thing if faintly Barnabas, Julia and Angelique-ish isn't it? 

As someone who spent several of his formative years in the throes of "Sabrina Duncan" worship, I must say that I disagree with Mr. Breslin's assessment of the very lovely and very talented Kate Jackson.  

Right on JC. . i too liked that Sabrina had a brain, more than a double jiggle going on and her husky voice (which seemed very post DS--what happened anyway too many Chesterfields?) .. although i did often wish Sabrina had a better hairdoo. ..

oh my god .. what tributes Julia is getting. . that was lovely. . .hahaha!

Hurray! Back to Southern California next year!

Victoriawinters, Profstokes, Midnite and I won't have to hassle with LAX  (or even Long Beach). That is cause for celebration. 

I will be very interested to see what hotel they have selected. Hollywood is not the best of neighborhoods, but it does have one or two good hotels.

I thought Grayson's Legion would book a suite at Chez Bette . .. i hear its lovely. . .

thanks everyone. . you know my old San Francisco boss used to say that I resembled Martina Hingis. . a tennis player. . i barely know who she is (my tennis fandom years were in the 80s. .)  But this am i heard on NPR its her bday too!! How freaky is that!!

Sadly, I get the audio but not the video.  I'll have to try this on one of the Windows computers at school...  

Bear up darling. .i luv your new avatar!!  (BTW--would one of you boys explain that comment to me .. i've laughed but never quite known why . . .)
