Oh, I just have to ask whether you ever saw George Michael's "Too Funky" video with Linda Evangelista and a bunch of other supermodels (Tyra Banks, I believe, was another one)?  It's a real hoot and underlines the "drag queen" aspect of what supermodels do by mixing up some actual drag queens with the gals.

It would be fun to have a Dark Shadows version with footage of Cassandra swanking through the drawing room in her butterfly caftan, Julia swinging her purse in her latest mod tweed ensemble, Carolyn working it in the Blue Whale, etc.

Thanks for pointing this out--I think you must be right!  The sight of those old books certainly does take me back.

Since both Julia and Mrs Johnson were on set that day, I really think it's a shame that they didn't do a shot of Grayson and Clarice together for one of the books.  Maybe Ross could have rewritten the plot of Arsenic and Old Lace with GH and CB as, I don't know, Delia and Adelaide Collins, the genial spinsters who rack up an impressive line of lonely old bachelors in their sitting room down at "the Cottage."  I can just see GH rhapsodizing about the rare vintage of her elderberry wine... *smirk*

I just love the snapshot of Julia "at the console" as the experiment starts to go wrong.  Great stuff!  My warped brain suggests a caption: "Was that a double cheeseburger, no pickle, no special sauce, WITH extra fries???"

"The PAHHHSST."

Whenever Liz uttered those words, a whole world seemed to form around them.  Reminding me once again why Joan Bennett was worth every cent they paid her on Dark Shadows.

I've dreamt of her too on a number of occasions.  I can confirm that even on the Other Side, Grayson is still a sophisticated, somewhat tart-tongued, "gutsy broad" with extremely well-defined opinions!

Let's hope your dream bodes well for plans for Julia99's panel in honor of the Divine One.

cheers, Gothele

Jean-Claude,

I know it's absurdly romantic of me, but I always thought that handkerchief Vicki found belonged to Flora Collins.  The initials on it do work, presuming Flora had a Scots maiden name (I always thought the Collins ancestral home was Scotland or Ireland, btw).

I know a couple of people who watch DS via Netflix.  It would seem that the 1966 shows won't be available via Netflix?

Hi Fans,

for anybody who didn't find it--our local Tower Records has it on sale this week for $14.99!  I just purchased it!

Check the Tower (maybe Virgin too) in your area to see if you can get a deal!

Good Luck,

G.
