Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You could probably buy an armoire and have it delivered for what it would cost to rent a UHaul and drive this one from TN to NYC!

“Not dead yet!”
So, I'm working on hour 19 sans sleep and my eyes feel as if they're sinking straight to the back of my head. I do believe that tonight will be a Better Living Through Chemistry night.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Yikes. I hope you get to get a good night's sleep soon. Same for Erin.

Now uploading and tagging some of the photos I took on my long unexpected walk on Sunset Blvd. today. Some of my favorite types of SoCal architecture. [link]

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Great pics, Spidra. I am highly amused at the one of the mural, focusing in on a woman who puts me in mind of Katherine Hepburn, but the nearest words are "Gary Cooper".
Peace and sweet sleep~ma to Erin and Barb.

That was meant to be Greta Garbo. She's labeled underneath her. I was also amused by that framing.

I'm assuming that Kate is on there, somewhere. I'm also assuming that I would have a grand time viewing the whole thing and finding her for myself.

I'm sure her name is on there but she isn't depicted. Not sure how Sheets came up with who to put where but I'm sure Ahmanson probably watched over him closely.
The mosaic depicts Dolores Costello, John Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks, Frederic March, Gary Cooper, Greta Garbo, Sarah Bernhardt, Mary Pickford, Rudolf Valentino, Bette Davis, Clara Bow, and what looks to be Nanook of the North (I really should have taken the time to make note of what it said up there). The mosaic dates from 1970 and Hepburn was still actively making films & TV then so perhaps she wasn't there for that reason. Perhaps for her politics. There definitely seems to be an emphasis on early H'wood history. Bernhardt is a bit of an odd choice because while she was renowned on stage, I think she only did a couple silents. Pickford, Fairbanks and Chaplin were all founders of United Artists as well as being film stars. Nanook would be an noteworthy silent film. [link]
