Nice going, MB. 

I'm almost certain that you can still find them...probably at LL Bean or Land's End!

Oh yes, they're still around. I bought two a year or two ago. One for me (red and black plaid) and one for hubby (black and white plaid). He wanted them to match, but I have an aversion to being referred to as one of the Bobbsey twins, lol.

Didn't see this on the calendar already, but it's probably been mentioned on here somewhere.

TCM will be airing Night of the Iguana with Grayson Hall's Oscar-nominated performance on Thursday, July 31, at 6:00pm ET.

You're correct, it was already mentioned. But a movie of this caliber is worth mentioning again (it's in my top five favorite films of all time) IMHO. I'm sure this has been asked before as well; Does anyone know if Grayson attended the Academy Awards presentation the year she was nominated? Has she ever discussed in print how she felt about being nominated? Would love to know her reaction to the whole thang.

Great film, great role...

Good luck on your GMAT.

Wishing you an A+,

Hi Birdie,

Hope you are having a fabulous Saturday.

I attended my first fest in L.A. several years ago (5 or 6?). This was when there was one autograph table and you had to wait in line for hours. I was toward the end of the autograph line. M Stroka and M Wallace started at the end of the line and worked their way toward the front signing autographs and chatting with us fans. Michael was so gracious, comfortable, and sincere. Big smile, handshake, and coaxing small talk out of even the most shy fan. And he spoke to each and every fan in line, posed for pics, etc. He was my first celeb one-on-one and I was very impressed. I recognized him immediately and was so surprised when I realized what he was doing. At first I thought he recognized someone in line and stoped to chat with them. I was so impressed when I realized what his intentions were. He left the autograph table and came to us (who were suffering and in waiting). I'll never forget it.

Not much of a story but a moment I'll never forget. It was a big deal for a first time attendee such as I.

Happy birthday.

The first time I saw this scene (I was twelve) my to the floor. I believe it was the first time I had ever seen something this repulsive with sexaul overtones on TV. The fact that it was on DS and happening to Maggie amplified my disgust and shock.
