"Do you think John Karlen stays awake nights thinking of ways to get even with Martin Sheen?"


Jeez Rainey P.....
I don't think his mind is as devious as yours!!
I can't think of anyone (OK, maybe Angelique) with a mind quite as devious as yours!!


"Shall we go to the Fest next year and ask him?"

When is The Fest? Even if I'm in Vermont by then, I'll come down for that!! I would LOVE to go!
It's a date!!

PS: I don't know what I did, but I know this whole thing is in the quote box, but I cant seem to get it out.
Oh, well, it's the though that counts!

Well, I'm having trouble with the quote button today, so I'll just wing it......
The make-up of the sixties.....
Yeah, I did my share of Twiggy lashes & white lipstick...Raineypark,you remember the white lipstick, don't you?
Mostly, I used to use it & other colour lipsticks as eyeshadow (well, you just couldn't get a good pink or orange eyeshadow!!), & Ms Rainey used to yell at me that I was going to go blind!! She was probably right, but since I was halfway there already, who cared??!!
The DS make-up.....
I think it was partly because they were mostly theatre folk, and stage makeup has to be overly exaggerated so that it can be seen from the back of the theatre (Thank you Gerald J. Kirby).
I think they just didn't tone it down quite enough for the TV camera. TV lights create a whole other animal. No pun intended.

And Rainey, That eye must have been so gross that I just blocked it out. I don't have the faintest clue as to what we were screaming about, but I do recall, now that you mention it, the tea cup incident.
Do you suppose the ubiquitous rollers were a device to hide the Halo? She really wasn't of this earth, your mother (my "Other Mother").

TOTALLY hillarious!
Have a great trip, a wonderful anniversary, and try to miss us just a little.
We'll miss you & your great wit here.

     Too late, She-who-knows-too-much!  It's already been mentioned....which you would know if you got on here more than once a month!!!

Unfortunately, Raineypark, my place of employment does not understand the need for accessing the internet for personal use. Perhaps then I could get on here more often.
I also seem to have a bit of difficulty navigating the site, which takes up valuable reading & posting time.
None of this has any bearing however, on the state of my house.
That is an inherent downfall.
Besides, there are no skeletons in my closet relevant to this board. That would be WA-A-AY OT.
Not that there aren't any skeletons.....

The furniture moving around from place to place, century to century, doesn't bother me. If that didn't happen, where would all the antiques we buy come from ? Family heirlooms often stay in the place people remember them always being when they were growing up.
The pieces lasted because children weren't ALLOWED in the rooms where the really good stuff was kept. They didn't play in their rooms. If the family had any money there was a nursery, which was where all facets of a child's life took place, not just sleeping, until they were old enough to go to away to school, or for girls, get married.
If they didn't have money, they played in the street until they had to go to work.
As for the suitcases, I guess Orbach's wasn't stocking carpet bags or leather satchels at the time.
Think of a Dr.'s bag. That's what everyone who had to carry something used. The Dr.'s bag is a hold-over. Some were bigger or deeper, but essentially, that was it.
Unless you were going on a long journey, or had something very large, heavy, or valueable. Then you'd use a trunk.
Enough with the history lesson.
I do want to point out though , that Caroline's (I can't remember what her name was in this time period ?!?) hairdo is DEFINITELY a mid-twentieth interpretation of a mid-nineteenth century hairdo. It should have been pulled up with height in the straight part & the banana curls should have come from the nape.
OK! That's it! I promise!!

OK Rainey, maybe this isn't EXACTLY an anchronism, however........
Now, you know I haven't seen these episodes in something over 30 years....No cable & the VCR is the thing that collects dust on top of the TV.....but I swear I remember sitting on the living room floor, in front of the black & white TV  , and seeing that same shadow (no pun intended  ) over Barnabus' face (the one in the 3rd pic from the left in today's montage) and remarking that it was the boom!
Am I right?
