It’s sad the amount of times I’ve read and then there were none….. (16)

[dizzynpeas]

Time for the bonus boss fights! Vera Claythorne, Maria the Shoggoth, U.N. Owen, Ethel Rogers XL, and Emily Brent. These five are the Otherworldly Invaders, with U.N. Owen as their leader. All of the EX characters, other than Maria, are named after characters from the book, "And Then There Were None."

All Things Go Festival.

All things go, if you must get philosophical about it. All things must pass, in the words of the Buddhist maxim. This is none more true of the summer, as warmth and sun give way to these chilly weeks, these spookiest of seasons. But the end of summer needn't mean the end of the festival season, so @allthingsgofestival went and did just that: they hosted a music festival. Just this weekend. In both September and October. It was full of female performers. It was queer as hell. Totally bonkers. It scarcely seems possible. It defies belief.

Well, believe it, and believe it well: all things must pass, and all things will. You, I, sunlight, suffering, the online wastelands themselves. But before they do, why not enjoy a good thing while it's there and get the likes of @lanadelrey, @mothercain, @listentomaggie, and @alvvaysto in one space for a weekend of live music? The place being the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, and the place being @allthingsgofestival. We were there. It was the very best of things. And we have some highlights for you—such as this image, one of many, of Lana Del Rey lyrics that decorated backstage.

Hot Vintage Stage Actress Round 3

Ginger Rogers: Babs Green in Top Speed (1929 Broadway); Molly Gray in Girl Crazy (1930 Broadway); Dolly Gallagher Levi in Hello, Dolly! (1965 Broadway)

Ethel Merman: Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes (1934 Broadway); Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun (1946 Broadway); Mrs Sally Adams in Call Me Madam (1951 Broadway); Liz Livingstone in Happy Hunting (1957 Broadway); Rose Hovick in Gypsy (1960 Broadway)

Propaganda under the cut.

Ginger Rogers:

justice for hot dancers!!!

Ethel Merman:

YOU EITHER GOT IT, OR YOU AIN'T. AND BOYS, SHE'S GOT IT.

She is THE star!

She doesn’t even need propaganda so here’s a story copied from wikipedia about an absolutely iconic comeback she had to her fourth husband, the big dick energy is off the charts: An oft recounted story from their short marriage demonstrated the volatility of their relationship. When Borgnine asked Merman how her audition had gone, she replied: "Well, they were mad about my 35-year-old body, my 35-year-old voice, and my 35-year-old face." "Is that so?" Borgnine responded. "And what did they think of your 65-year-old cunt?" Without missing a beat, Merman retorted: "You weren’t mentioned once.”

I know this song is having a moment on TikTok with a different singer, but considering she's been bumped from the film bracket and really is better known for her theatre work, it IS her turn!

From a movie role but shows the kind of presence she could have in stage settings!

All of these examples -- which are only a small selection of the shows she opened -- were written for her; she was that essential to the Golden Age of musical theater. Titanic, stupendous, blow the roof off, staggering. For his 12th birthday, my dad's parents got him tickets to Gypsy; fourth row, dead center, he said seeing Ethel was the most exciting moment of his life.
