Look, I know this whole week has been like being trapped in the waiting room for the wake for democracy, but it isn’t all bad news in 2025. It was just last month we were celebrating the pie-in-the-face spirit of 1970s gay rights activists against the original celebrity hatemonger Anita Bryant. And wouldn’t you know it, ding dong the witch is finally dead. The former OJ spokeswoman and avowed bigot died at age 84 last week. All I can say is, I hope they serve flaming pies in hell. And while she is hopefully being served a plateful this very moment, please enjoy Carol Burnett spoofing that orange-loving bigot back in the Seventies. Damn, what is it about that color and the worst people in the world? Happy at-least-Anita-Bryant-is-dead weekend, all.

My Weekend Crush
This week I’ve gone from two of our most dearly departed (Rue and Betty) to two women we demand never leave us (Julie and Carol). At this point, given how many legends we have lost in 2022, I hope we’ve all formed a summoning circle around Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett to bind from any and all harm. Those of us old enough to remember know that Julie and Carol used to be quite a team. They performed live concerts and on televised specials together. And, yes, they even rapped together. No, no more explanation. Just please set your expectations to 1989 vibes and let it all happen. Truly, keep these women safe and healthy forever, universe. They certainly deserve it. Happy weekend, all.

Vacation Vixen: Oprah, Carol Burnett, Dolly Parton & Julie Andrews
Name a more iconic quartet, I’ll wait. (And, obviously, I’m on vacation right now and will be for the next week and change. But, obviously, I’ll leave you Vacation Vixens to enjoy in my stead. Though, obviously, they can’t all be as mind-blowingly awesome as this one.)
