My 2 Second Shelf Life

Sunday Click Around.

The picture to your left was taken by Toronto Photographer Tanja Tiziana. Here is one of her websites: DoubleCrossed.ca.

What makes a good party? Well apparently, in the 1950's a good party consisted of all kinds of activities and games. You know...like when work forces you to go workshops and you have to participate in these circle "get to know you" things. I love how in the video, when one couple breaks from the pack to talk, the narrator tells you how you can get them back to the group. Tips for control freak hosts.

Love Come Down. Part way through the video, she has some giant flower with long tentacles in her hair. It's almost as big as her head.

I've mentioned Humperdinck and Jones on this blog before. My mother loved them both, and I can sing all their songs like a savant.
That's why it was so entertaining when I found James Gadolfini singing "A Man Without Love" and Christopher Walken singing "Delilah" from the movie "Romance & Cigarettes".
Now that I know that it's directed by John Turturro, I really have to see it.

Anyhow, that got me thinking about celebs who have cut albums or singles and for whatever strange reason think that they can sing. Here is Herve Villechaize. I don't know which is worse, his singing or the video editing. as well as Telly Savalas who lights a cigarette while he waits for his cue to talk to what looks like Loretta Switt's younger sister. Then, of course there's The Shat. But, I think he's always made fun of himself...in true Canadian form.

Mr. Romance's site is slick and well put together, but goes nowhere...just like real romance often does.

Joni got me thinking of Shirley Temple, and really...she was pretty amazing for a little kid back in the old days. I'm pretty sure they slaved her like a workhorse to perform, because back then...there wasn't any such thing as demanding only red M&M's and kool aid made with spring water that has Swarovski crystals in it.
Here is Shirley with Bill Bojangles, and here's another with Bill doing the staircase dance. Here's Sammy Davis' tribute to Bill Bojangles.
Here's "The Goodship Lollipop" and "Animal Crackers".

While I was looking at that, I found this really strange "Little Rascal's" type thing. You tell me...

This stop motion pocket change video is pretty cool.

Back in the day, I used to love Details Magazine before they went all Voguey/GQ...now, it looks like Vice has taken over the urban/edgy thing...but when I saw this, I almost wet myself laughing.
Seriously...how completely vapid and self-absorbed and proud of it, can you be?
In the first photo, the girl is only 23....NO WAY!!! ...she totally looked like a cougar. To me, anyway.

Here's an Asian guy singing in Serbian.

Here's a great diner scene with Pacino and DeNiro from the movie "Heat".
Speaking of great scenes, here's a scene from Casino, and some scenes from one of my favourite Soprano characters, Paulie Walnuts.

Ok...that's all for now, gotta go.
The Mister has plans.
