Throw on Your Best Cardigan and Celebrate Fall 2011 with the Gays of ILX

that is the one thing where i always request consent!

Yeah, really.

Holy f, my bestie works in a science lab and had to order a rat for some experiment where she will p much do nothing but shoot it up with amphetamines every once in a while. Naturally, she named him Judy Garland. I am so, so proud of this woman.

wow

I only ever ask questions that I know the answer to.

Was that Judy Garland's drug of choice?

The 50-something, musical-theatre-loving, gay, right-wing, extremely racist leather man I used to wait tables with* chewed me out and held a grudge because I didn't know who Liza Minnelli's mother was. He got really shitty with me after I started asking the other staff if they knew who her mother was, and by far, the majority of them didn't know. I posted a poll with the same topic on another forum, and and over half of respondent's did not know.

Do you homos know who Liza's mother was?

* I feel like I've talked about him a million times, but still - he was smart and actually really really funny and he worked with people of all kinds of races, but his passion was hating racial minorities.

So he was Hitler-lite in the campy macho way? nagl.

I wouldn't have known if I hadn't looked it up. On the other hand, I really have no idea who Liza Minnelli is other than the name of someone who's famous.

*sigh*

Rev, try Cabaret with the Black Swan guy

I didn't know until I saw this

Yeah me too.

That's way funnier than it has any right to be.

Debbie Reynolds, iirc.

I am by no means a judy fan but she had her moments:

except for last night when i went to a housewarming for deej's sister and had a very good time

So does her boyfriend look like me, as deej suggested to me?

I'd have thought that Garland/Minelli was one of the most well-known mother-daughter celeb pairs, surely more so than Reynolds/Fisher or Hedren/Griffith or Leigh/Curtis or Danner/Paltrow or Vanderbilt/Cooper. Maybe Hawn/Hudson is close.

cut to the chase: They both liked to marry gay men.

Who, aside from you, doesn't?

I only know Liza from Arrested Development, but it made me love her.

I did see Cabaret in the mid-90s. I don't remember it, except that I remember loathing it, but I think I should give it another chance.

surely more so than Reynolds/Fisher or Hedren/Griffith or Leigh/Curtis or Danner/Paltrow or Vanderbilt/Cooper. Maybe Hawn/Hudson is close.

Tbf, I have no idea about any of these either. Don't even recognize some of the names. I p much pay no attention to actors tho.

I recognize Hawn/Hudson, but none of the others.

It should be noted that the people at work who didn't know who Liza's mother was were of a variety of ages. And I didn't ask the immigrant workers.

i didn't know about hedren/griffith

i kindof just know liza minelli as being judy garlands daughter. p sure she features as a character in that judy davis acting showcase. i think ive only ever seen her in that weird unconvincing scorsese (?) movie shes in w deniro.

im starting school tomorrow. im jumpy and nervous about it. im like picking out an outfit

I take it for granted that everyone knows who has won Oscars in the last, oh, 50 years.

I used to be a snob about Oscar until I reminded myself I know shit about sports.

i knew every mother/daughter on that list except Vanderbilt/Cooper. but i was an only child who watched a LOT of old movies growing up.

Oscars are sports w/ tuxedos.

that weird unconvincing Scorsese musical is the first of his films I ever saw, and it beat the pants off the DiCaprio Era.

CABARET is an essential gay movies, youngsters.

morbs u r so cute

haha tabes, cooper = anderson (mom = gloria)

i knew every mother/daughter on that list except Vanderbilt/Cooper

This was a little joke.

oh. well, i believe i knew that, but didn't associate it because, yknow, Anderson's a gym-driven silver fox tv host, not a famous actress.

Cabaret is pretty essential, but All That Jazz is better.

I added Cabaret to my Netflix Qwikster queue. We'll get to the bottom of my feelings on that movie.

I have at some points in my life been obsessed with sports, never so with movies.

i am now enjoying some fine bubbly water courtesy of my new carbonator, my birthday gift from my parents.

have i ever talked about how i calculated that before this thing, i was spending up to $14/week at times on selzer and mineral water?

i only like fizzy water when it's added to booze of some kind

i desire fizzy water at all times

is my concert schedule for the next two days gay enough?

Tomorrow - Bryan Ferry
Friday - Cut Copy

Answer: No.

Is Cut Copy "gay"?

Well, sure, because guys dance to them.

I guess you're a "daddy" now.

Happy birthday!
