RIP Donna Summer!

RIP Donna Summer. I had a hard time picking which song to post today....I really loved all of her music. But this song is a complete gem!

Cause it took so long to bake it! Love you, Donna!

I'll never have that recipe again,

A Music Video For A Crazy Fan Girl

This one's for you, Bobbi Baby!

Bobbi Ruggiero, who is a very nice person and an excellent writer, was recently strong-armed by certain unscrupulous folks (me and Ruthie Knox) into reading Sweet Dreams by Kristen Ashley. Now I am feeling sort of guilty because she's being tortured by writing errors, clothing descriptions, and visualizing Joe Manganiello as Tate.

To make her feel better, since she'll probably be reading that sucker until 2015 (it's seriously the longest book in the world), I am posting a Duran Duran video. Bobbi is one of those slightly unbalanced super enthusiastic fans who follows bands all over the country and sneaks into their dressing rooms gets photos to post on Facebook. Really! So, here's one of my favorite Duran Duran songs.....

How awesome is this video of A View To A Kill (1985)? The hair! The eyeliner! The blazers with the sleeves pushed up. The "high-tech" gadgets...hee hee! I love this little ditty.

Enjoy, Ms. Bobbi! Hope you are still hanging in there with The Book.

ETA: Don't forget to stop by for The Martini Club tomorrow. Heidenkind will be here with some crazy stories about Winston Churchill and his wee little drinking habit.

All my best,
Penelope

Free To Be

This is an OLDIE. Yep, from 1972. Who remembers Free to Be...You and Me? I loved this album...there are wonderful songs/stories by Marlo Thomas, Alan  Alda, Rosey Grier and more. For some strange reason, I woke up this morning with this song in my head.

There's a land that I see where the children are free

And I say it ain't far to this land from where we are

Take my hand, come with me, where the children are free

Come with me, take my hand, and we'll live

Happy Weekend,

Penelope
