I saw Uncommon Women and Others in the PBS production in 1978. My first exposure to Meryl Streep, Swoosie Kurtz and Jill Eikenberry. And Wendy Wasserstein. Though it was set in 1970, it was still a very accurate portrait of what I would experience at college. I remember being surprised of the use of James Taylor and Winnie the Pooh as recurring motifs. That's very sad for Wendy to die so young.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, man. Swoozie Kurtz as Rita. Heh. "I've tasted my menstrual blood!" "Oh, gross me out, Rita!"

I attended the same church as Swoozie Kurtz for a number of years, and every time I saw her that line ran through my head.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That's sad about Wendy Wasserstein.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ah yes - the good ol' days... when children were demonic.

Wow - the two girls in the top row center are some serious nightmare fuel. shudder
The food at the bottom is also disturbing, but not nearly as bad as the gallery of regrettable food: [link]

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, man, the full pictures are even more disturbing. Freckly Boy and Pork 'n' Beans Boy, in particular, look like they're enjoing a brief and delightful palate cleanser in between their merry meals of spicy, spicy brains.
Also, if I ever, ever feel the smallest desire to return to meat-eating, the full portrait of Ham Shortcakes with Pea Sauce will turn me right back around again.
Bundles of -ma to Jilli, beautifully wrapped and decorated with strands of Dior goth pearls and glittery sprinkles of professionalism and hiring desirability.
