My Fair Lady Gets Down, Judy's Hot, Plus Pat At Dawn, Susannah's Heart And An Unbreakable Secret Song!


Punk rock is Cecil Beaton's costume designs for "My Fair Lady" (especially the hats).

An Overdue Bucket Of Sads For Monique, Plenty of Peebles, A Clever Corky, Plus Hot Pants At MGM And A Green/Blue Secret Song!


Va-va-voom. Cherchez la femme. Ommph. All are appropriate responses to Monique Van Voreen, who only recently hot-cha-cha-cha'd her way to the heavens. Monique, as you may know, had a highly eclectic and unusually long career. I say "unusually," because a long career is not generally associated with an actor who's first introduced like this:

Morgana Goes Wild, Mary Lou's Man, Plus More Judy And A Two-Thousand-Zero-Zero Secret Song!


Quick, which jazz luminary also worked as a featured actress in "The Godfather" and "The Godfather II?" There's only one.

Carrie's Down And Out, Classic Vegas (Baby!), Teri's So Easy, Plus An Unknown Carole, Diahann Live And An 'Oh Yeah' Secret Song!


Hold tight, kiddies. There's so much fantastic music to share today that I'm barely able to contain myself - and I just might explode! For reals! Ready? Okay, let's go.

Judy Gives It To You, Plus Stephie's Best, Brenda's Bits, And A Littlest J Secret Song!


Liza can hot-cha! and jazz hands! all she wants - and we'll always love her for it - but let's be honest, mama did it best.

Exclusive Judy, Plus Sex Symbols Galore, A Screwy Poof Party And A Screaming Halloween Secret Song!


Judy, Judy, Judy! Did you know? As a child, she claimed to learn better in school when she wasn't wearing her left shoe, and so habitually took it off in class. For some reason this makes me happy.

Ann's Rare Box, Judy & Harold, Plus A Ho Stroll With Jane And A Carelessly Loving Secret Song!


Ann-Margret, Ann-Margret, Ann-Margret! This Swedish-born beauty epitomized pow! wowza! and awooga! in the 1950s and 60s.

Daffy Sings, Paul Jams, Plus Judy Lost-And-Found, Carole Found At Last And A Monkeyshines Secret Song!


I admit it, Daffy Duck is my alter ego. His awful temper-tantrums, his outrageous ego, his brazen shallowness. All are qualities I share hide admire.

A Basket Of Berlin, Breakfast With Anita, Plus Fran's Coming, Mary's Live And A Trans Secret Song!


I'm back! Did you miss me? I missed you (of course). We should celebrate, right? Let's kick things off with glamour-glamour-glamour by way of Ann Miller, who wasn't exactly known for sex-appeal back in the day, but above is giving you her best come-hither. Hot-cha! This was unusual for her. In fact, for years after her heyday, she refused to do movies because of their sex and nudity, yet triumphantly, she returned to the screen in 2001's "Mulholland Drive" (which had no sex or nudity at all) (but whatever).

Judy X Infinity, Nancy's Live, Plus Dirty Ditties And A Madhouse Rock Secret Song!


I hope you're hungry today, because I've got a huge platter of Judy for you. Oh, and brew some coffee, because the DLs, as the kids say, might take you a bit. But it's so-o-o insanely worth it. "But why is it insanely worth it?" you say. I'll tell you why (thanks for asking).

Judy's Touch, Anita In '76, Plus Exotic Adventures And A Feathered Freak Secret Song!


Does anyone still wear a hat? I don't (except when I'm having a super bad hair day and then I put on my "Taylor Dayne: Satisfied!" baseball cap). Judy, however, stills wears a hat, and no, it's not wearing her, though I would say that if a hat is significantly taller than your head, it's probably a good time to rethink things. But Judy? Pshh. She can wear whatever she likes (including that dress below which looks like a collection of baby eels are ready to strangle her) (look out Judy!).

Christmas With Rudolph & Judy & James Brown & Many More, Plus A Planter-Like Secret Song!


If you grew up at a certain time, then the 1964 Rankin-Bass Christmas special "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is rooted inside your brain. Don't even try dislodging it. It's stuck there forever. Which, in a lot of ways, isn't such a bad thing, and though it always seems waaaaaay too long (for me) at sixty minutes with commercials, it does have that blissfully absurd little elf who yearns to pursue a different profession:

Super-Rare Judy, Monica's Jazzy Love, Plus Orbiting Knockers And A Dead Pop Star Secret Song!


Judy, Judy, Judy. She's still relevant after all these years, isn't she? True, our modern age has definitely given us some wonderfully talented pop music train wrecks - Whitney Houston being one of the few who counts, because she actually had talent, unlike other train wrecks - yet there's nothing quite like Judy, the first of her kind in the 20th century.
