[myalgicencephalomyelitiscfstom]

A famous person with ME/CFS, Shirley Conran, has been made a dame in the UK

"Dame Shirley began writing books after she was diagnosed with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis (ME) in her late 30s and could no longer work full-time" -- "In 1975, she wrote acclaimed non-fiction book Superwoman, recognised as a feminist practical guidebook, while her first novel titled Lace was published in 1982.

The book was turned into a TV miniseries in the US starring Bess Armstrong, Brooke Adams and Arielle Dombasle.

Her other novels include Savages, The Revenge, Crimson and Tiger Eyes."

@ariel-seagull-wings sent me a message asking which operas I think the Muppets would like best.

So here are my headcanons: the favorite operas of some of the Muppets.

Kermit – I think he would like La Bohéme. It's a simple slice-of-life, not too melodramatic as opera go, it blends comedy and melancholy, and even though it ends sadly, it's still a heartwarming portrayal of a group of friends. He might also enjoy Musetta's diva antics: they would remind him of a certain pig.

Miss Piggy – Wagner's operas, especially the Ring Cycle. They're larger-than-life and full of passion and spectacle, they're great vehicles for prima donnas with big voices, and because of the vocal power they require, they tend to be vehicles for plus-sized divas too.

Gonzo – The Magic Flute. He would like the weirdness of it, and no lady in opera would be more beautiful to him than Papagena. She would remind him of Camilla.

Fozzie Bear – The Barber of Seville. The most famous of all comic operas.

Scooter – The Marriage of Figaro. Its intellectual depth and history as sociopolitical commentary would appeal to his nerdiness, and because he's the Muppet Theatre's "gofer," he'd enjoy an opera where the servants are the heroes.

His sister Skeeter – She would also like Figaro, but for a different reason: because of its proto-feminist themes, with strong-minded women banding together to teach a lesson to a powerful, badly-behaved man.

Rowlf – Fidelio, because he loves Beethoven. He even mentions it in passing in the song "Eight Little Notes." (Quartets, quintets, fugues and sonatas, plus an opera and a few cantatas...")

Sam the Eagle – Porgy and Bess, because it's the great American opera. At least that's what he would say; if he were really as cultured as he pretends to be and actually saw it, he would be appalled by the depiction of drugs and violence.

Rizzo the Rat – Don Giovanni. He would see a kindred spirit in Leporello: a sarcastic lovable coward who gets dragged unwillingly through crazy hijinks and occasionally steals other people's food.

Pepe the King Prawn – Carmen. It's Spanish (in setting, at least) and spicy, like he is.

Robin the Frog – Hansel and Gretel, because it's an opera for kids and about kids, where kids triumph over evil.

Animal – He would also like Hansel and Gretel: all that good food onstage! He'd probably charge up there and start eating the gingerbread house, and wouldn't even stop when he realized it wasn't real gingerbread.

Statler and Waldorf – They would make fun of it all, just like they do everything else.

Lace (William Hale, 1984)

Three and a half hours to find out which of these bitches is Phoebe Cates mother, then we find out without much ceremony and zero afterglow. I should have gone to a Swiss finishing school. It seems the ticket to living such a worldly, potential-filled, crazed and melodramatic life. Every course a highly affluent existence could possibly route feels like it's seen through these three potential mothers and their shared secret of a daughter. Exciting actresses within: Brooke Adams, Arielle Dombassle, Bess Armstrong, Angela Lansbury, and yeah Phoebe Cates in a palpably out-to-prove-not-just-a-teen-star performance

[sims-letsplay]

WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!

I was so excited to invite my best friend, Bess, around to share the good news of my pregnancy. Until this memorable night turned into a nightmare... I caught my HUSBAND and HER flirting out on the balcony as we were saying our goodbyes!!! How could they do that to me? In front of my face.... I'm so angry and heartbroken.... I hope to have a better post next time....

mermaid nancy and fisherman ace. that’s all :)

Oh man... so many thoughts about this. I really love the idea!

Nancy as a mermaid would have major Ariel vibes. She is obsessed with the humans and wants to know everything

Bess and George are also mermaids forced along for the ride

Lucy Sable is the big cautionary tale for mermaids, meant to stop them from trying to get too close to humans like she did

Ace and Nick are both fishermen

I am kinda imagining Little Mermaid style settings so the Hudsons would rule over the island nation neat where the mermaids live and the Marvins are the mermaid monarchs

The Hudsons want people to believe they wiped out all the mermaids so when Ace is knocked out of the fishing boat during a storm and saved by mermaid Nancy, he is shocked

He and Nick are determined to see if mermaids are real and eventually befriend Nancy, Bess and George

Meanwhile mermaid Queen Diana Marvin has made it illegal for humans and mermaids to interact so Nancy must hide her budding relationship with Ace

The Aglaeca is a sea witch Nancy turns to so she and her friends can get the ability to turn between human and mermaid

The Aglaeca is hoping Nancy or the others will slip up and eventually start a war between the Hudsons and the Marvins

At some point, George's sisters, who like to raid the nets of fishermen, accidentally pull Ace into the water (while he is trying to stop them from being spotted by the captain of the fishing boat he works on), panic and abduct him. Nancy is convinced he was taken by evil mermaids so desperately searches for him only to eventually be told by the Fan young sisters they have Ace chained up in the air pocket of a sea cave.

A Christmas Carol Holiday Season: "A Christmas Carol" (1938 film)

This vintage Hollywood Christmas Carol has always been known as a lightweight version among Dickens lovers. But it's probably the "classic" Carol most often seen on American TV, as Turner Classic Movies airs it every December. Produced by MGM at the height of the studio's prestige, it stars 51-year-old British character actor Reginald Owen – whom many of us today remember best as Admiral Boom in Mary Poppins – in the role of Scrooge, surrounded by a cast of MGM's stock British players. Chief among them is Gene Lockhart as Bob Cratchit, with his real-life wife Kathleen Lockhart as Mrs. Cratchit, and their daughter, future Lassie and Lost in Space star June Lockhart, as the middle Cratchit daughter Belinda.

This is indeed a cozy, lighthearted Carol, which downplays the horror and pathos of the book. The sequence with the Ghost of Christmas Past (portrayed as a beautiful young woman by Ann Rutherford) omits Scrooge's lost love Belle, the Ghost of Christmas Present (Lionel Braham) lacks the phantom children Ignorance and Want beneath his robe, and Christmas Yet to Come lacks the scene of the thieves selling the dead Scrooge's belongings. More emphasis than usual is placed on the Cratchit family, whose comfortable house looks more lower-middle class than poor, and on nephew Fred (Barry MacKay), who has a romance subplot borrowed from Edison's 1910 silent version. Rather than already being married, he can't yet afford to marry his fiancée Bess (Lynne Carver), which in the end Scrooge resolves by offering him a new job as his business partner. In another added subplot, Scrooge fires Bob Cratchit for accidentally ruining his hat with a thrown snowball, and Bob spends all of Christmas hiding this crisis from his family. Marley's Ghost (Leo G. Carroll) and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (D'Arcy Corrigan) provide token spookiness, but for the most part, this is a family-friendly Carol defined by Christmas cheer.

But whether or not it's authentic Dickens, the warmth and charm of this film is hard to resist. The scenery and costumes offer a vivid, if idealized portrait of Victorian London, enhanced by Franz Waxman's musical score. Reginald Owen's Scrooge might lack the depth and pathos of other Scrooges (and looks slightly cartoonish in his heavy old age makeup), but his journey from crotchety miser to joyful benefactor is convincing and endearing all the same. Gene Lockhart's Bob Cratchit strikes an ideal balance between merriment and melancholy, Barry MacKay's jovial Fred makes the most of his expanded role, and the rest of the cast is equally strong.

This cheerful film might be "Dickens lite," but as far as I'm concerned, it's still worth watching every year.
