"That night, fate wore a cummerbund...of suspense."
The bar for the men dancers in Hindi cinema was so, so low for so long. Even those who had great energy in songs - the Kapoors, Mithun, Jeetendra, sometimes Rajesh Khanna and Dev Anand - were out-danced by the women opposite them. Backwards and in high heels, indeed.
I'm completely unqualified to be any of them: homemaker (one wore white gloves, the other had 6 kids), machinist, or entomology professor developing pesticides (I hope he'd be terribly sorry about all the run-off 😬).
Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

if you had to pick three muppets to represent you (not your three favorites) who would you pick? greater henson canon counts. I think I'd go Gonzo, Rizzo and Uncle Deadly.

Spot the museum’s baby bunny.
I think I've posted this before, maybe on the bird site, but it bears repeating: what did Dharmendra do this poster artist?
That FLW-inspired house is around the corner from me! I love it here but our charms are, I think, best felt in the daily living and thus hard to convey in wikipedia.

So thoughtful to give a protective fur layer to the black pants I was planning to wear to a work event tomorrow.
