And We Are Telling You...

...we're not going. (No, no, no, no way.)

We're not so delusional to think that SSUWAT changes anyone's life, heals the sick, or resolves global issues; but we have been gratified to hear from people who truly do enjoy what we have to offer: frivolity, fun, glamour, and the occasional vintage penis. We have also been going through our own archives, and came to the immodest realization that when we're good, we're pretty damn good! In other words, we're the blog that we would love to stumble across, which is exactly what we set out to achieve from the start.

Having said that, we admit that there have been recent moments when we've considered throwing in the towel (cheap Chinese embroidery - Peggy gave us these). Life, as you all surely know, has a way of intruding on fabulosity. But we're not waking up tomorrow morning (ha ha!) and finding that there's no comments there! We're going to soldier on and continue to showcase obscure starlets, retro musclemen, aging divas, and fabulous fashion - but not necessarily at the same pace as we've been doing for the last year and a half.

As some of our darling friends and followers pointed out to us privately, we've been posting new entries, five or more at a clip, nearly every day since this blog's inception. When inspiration hits us, we get so excited, we want to share it immediately with all of you, so we will try to continue daily updates. This is a long-winded way of saying, however, that we may not, depending on outside circumstances. Posts may diminish to every other day; sometimes, a few times a week; but the bottom line is that we're sticking around because we truly do enjoy doing this. And we want to continue to do something that gives us (and, hopefully, you) pleasure.

We rarely get soppy and sentimental here, but thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to follow this silly, frivolous little site. That you guys actually get what we're talking about, enjoy the people and things that we hold in esteem, and appreciate our putting them out there in the "blogosphere" surprises, delights and humbles us. So continue to watch this space, darlings: we may not be here as often as before, but push, strike or kill, we're not gonna leave ya - there's no way we will. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd...

They're Your Dreamgirls, They'll Make You Happy

Music legends abound in today's birthday lineup!

To honor Miss Debbie Allen (September 30, 1953) and Miss Marilyn McCoo (September 30, 1943) on their birthday, here are re-posts of two legendary clips. In the first, behold the genius that is Debbie Allen as she performs a fabulous/insane medley from Dreamgirls, featuring lots of dry ice and stunt gays -- a Debbie Allen Speciality Number if there ever was on. In the second, Miss McCoo and two rather spindly chorus boys camp and vamp their way through "Muscles," the Michael Jackson-penned Diana Ross hit.

La Ross herself pays tribute to rock and R&B pioneer Frankie Lymon (September 30, 1942 - February 27, 1968) with her perky rendition of his classic hit, "Why Do Fools Fall in Love." Then, crooner extraordinaire (and out homo) Johnny Mathis (September 30, 1934) serenades us with a selection from Guys & Dolls, and even gets in a few terpischorean turns. Finally, the magnificent Cissy Houston (September 30, 1933) -- mother of Whitney, aunt to Dionne, industry legend and singer's singer -- turns The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" into a soulful tour de force.
