And for our Next Number

Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Ann Margret:

Or, Everything You Ever Needed to Know about Glam, in one easy 6:11 video.

This compilation positions our heroine somewhere out there in a world balanced between Dalidaesque excess and vertiginous anxiety. She shares with other great stars an unalloyed and infectious delight with being herself and a certain thrilling element of near-disaster. She is sublime and ridiculous, knows both, and moves on.

My Gift to You

An uncharacteristically un-illustrated post today, my loves, because I have stumbled across something so special it needs no added frills.

Here and here you will find perhaps the most extraordinary ten minutes of entertainment I have come across in a long, long time. I encourage you to go, experience, and then return and discuss.

This originally aired on December 14, 1978. Where was I that I don't remember it? How is it not considered a landmark of American showbiz?

What a treat you're in for...
