Jetlag’s got me permascrewy. I go to bed at 8pm and I’m up writing way before dawn. I am a word-farmer. I should make a king cake for my girlfriends today, but I have a lot of words to write for work. “Maybe I can do it all.”
Yesterday and today I’ve been reading and learning about Tallulah Bankhead. There was once a time when being a bad-girl celebrity meant sitting around and thinking up scandalous quotes. A few of hers:
“My father warned me about men and booze, but he never mentioned a word about women and cocaine.”
“I’m not at my best when I start to moralize or philosophize. Logic is elusive, especially to one who so rarely uses it.”
“Here’s a rule I recommend: Never practice two vices at once.”
That Lohan girl should bring this ish back. YouTube turns up an episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour featuring Ms. Bankhead. Apparently Lucille Ball didn’t much like sharing the stage and Tallulah was fairly smashed for the whole day of taping.
Someone found this blog searching for onion ‘expierience’ crying’.
