Jim Baily Was All of Them

Because I’m old I am posting this so that you can make your kids watch it then explain who the people were that he impersonated. They wont care.

Joey Arias is Returning To Joe’s Pub

Photo: Steven Menendez

Tickets are available now for Joey Arias along with Brandon Seabrook, Tony Mason and Eliot Douglass at Joe’s Pub August 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th. I saw Joey and friends recently and it seemed like the first time for me. Joey is pure magnetic entertainment and moves megawatts of energies around the room. The show is three New York City artists at their best. Do yourself a favor and get some tickets in advance. You will be amused, entertained and touched by the work of these seasoned greats. Be ready for an energy zap. I caught a few.

Icon, Symbol, EYEcon

The following is a conversation starter.

Leggy – icon of fashion dolls

A Painted Poodle – symbol of Poodleology (ask a poodleologist and find out)

and Pat Dry – Eyecon who was known for her eyes.

La Lupe. Okay?

I’m loving the simple T.

I don’t think that was really Doris…

Do you? “some work” for Marilyn Manson? No. That doesn’t make a lick of sense, but it really IS awful nice of her to be concerned about finding work for other performers. She’s just an honest to goodness nice person.

Yep.

Weird that she had my number though…very weird. Oh well, I’m not going to worry about it.

Also, super weird that she called me because she’s dead…which really makes this whole thing kinda spooky.. hmmmm.

Does anybody out there have Marilyn Manson’s correct phone number? It must be pretty close to mine I’m guessing….

You know what? –

Nevermind.

My Style Has No Style

“My [singing] style really has no style, because I try to sing each number differently. I’ve always believed that if style takes precedence over the words and music, the audience get’s cheated. It’s like when people see a fine play or movie. They imagine themselves in the leading role. I want them to imagine that they’re singing – not just listening to someone else.”

Desmond Is Lady Kier Is Amazing

Loving this insanity. Desmond got the looks…clock it… even Good Beat! This makes me happy. There is hope after all.

10, 10, 10, 10, 9 (so shady), 10 10 – This category is shut down – Give it to the child. Give the child the trophy. This is the future, people. ¡FUTURA!

Let’s face the chicken gumbo and dance.

The genius of Stan Freberg is on display front and centre in this vintage soup commercial. An author, actor, comedian, musician, radio personality, puppeteer and advertising creative director, Stan began his professional career in 1943, and was working well into his late 80’s. Clearly during the course of his seventy year career… (that’s right, I said SEVENTY) ….he wore many hats (and I’m guessing quite a few wigs as well). His work in advertising was witty, ingenious, and always funny. This ad also features the incomparable Ann Miller; famous for her dancing in MGM musicals, and for her acting roles in over 50 films. (including her last acting gig as “Coco” in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive). But we can’t forget Dave Willock’s contribution to this ad, his deadpan delivery is the perfect balance to Ann Miller’s mania. He was one of the most prolific character actors of films, television series, and television commercials for decades. He’s one of those actors whose name you don’t know, but whose face and voice are instantly recognisable from his work in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s (he even played “Daddy”, the father of Blanche and Jane Hudson in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane!)

I too like to make a big production out of everything.

Gian Franco Rodriguez is all Victor Hugo. This performance is 100% approved by BillyBeyond.com. ☑️

Boyculture Polaroid_HALSTON_103_Unit_02046RC2_sign

Krysta Rodriguez as Liza is a tour de force, singing in her own voice and dancing as Liza you will be convinced, amazed and most of sucessfully entertained by her magnificent display of talent. To put it “simply,” Ewan McGregor is Halston. He lives. You’ll die.

Amazing with a “Z.”

Rebecca Dayan plays Elsa Peretti in Halston (2021)

Rebecca Dayan plays Elsa. There’s only two Peretti’s. Elsa, and Rebecca as Elsa. She’s so gorgeous that she’s hard to see and hear at the same time. Anticipate rewinding. This level of beauty deserves multiple replays. Encore de Dayan!

Ewan McGregor plays Halston in Halston -(2021)

“Yes, I’m still holding for Dan…hello?… ( muzak sound cue ) Halston… Halston…calling for Daniel Minahan…”

Joel Schumacher as played by Rory Culkin in Halston (2021)

Rory Culkin plays Halston’s bestie, the late Joel Schumacher. Good hair, right? May I just throw out a beauty note here please? The make-up is timely perfection. You can all relax.

David Pittu plays Joe Eula in Halston (2021)

I wouldn’t say David “played” Joe Eula. It’s better to say he embodied him. It’s more than a portrayal and it’s spooky-good. (David Pittu is Joe Eula, famed fashion illustrator and Halston’s creative director.)

Gee, I wonder who choreographed all the runway scenes?

That’d be me. There will be turning, running, smiling finales avec complex pivots as well as several split-doubles and yes, the rumours on the runways are true. We do split a triple in episode four. Models, prepare for your masterclass.

Halston, the limited series premieres on Netflix on May 14.

These images were released on what would’ve been Halston’s 89th birthday (he died of AIDS complications at 57 years old, in1990. RIP.)
