that bitch fell from the sky

Random village thrift excursion resulted in this glorious 80's Miami Beach Coca-Cola glass:



And the VHS of



Ben Affleck says "So, how do you like your eggs done in the morning - scrambled or fertilized?" at some point. Done. Absolutely brilliant, out of this world late 70's/early 80's soundtrack and an Elvis Costello cameo/subplot - what more could you ask for?

LET THE BONNIE TYLER APPRECIATION COMMENCE



So it turns out Bonnie covered CCR's amazing song "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" And by 'covered' I mean completely COMPLETELY BUTCHERED THE SONG in EVERY possible way by screaming the entire thing. In other words, it's absolutely fantastic, accompanied by a music video that is too incredible to even begin to describe. Judging from the first 2 seconds of it you know it's going to be fantastic, just watch the magic...



Bonnie's actual video for "HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO" is out of this world as well, and actually a pretty great song. But what makes this song most memorable is this drag queen's performance of it from Miss Black America. If you watch ANY of it, watch seconds :15-:30 and you WILL NOT regret it.



Oh so speaking of drag queens, the new Beyonce "Single Ladies" video and song are outstanding, but did you know where the original inspiration for the video came from? A group of 3 fab ladies did a Fosse-choreographed dance routine to some song called "Mexican Breakfast" back in the early 60's and some GENIUS dubbed "Walk it Out" over it and it's phenomenal. Take a looksee:



PEACE LOVE AND INA G.
