Maggie The Cat

I was never really a fan of Elizabeth Taylor...to me she was simply too beautifully "1950s" to tick my more character led needs in that warm sultry Ava Gardner-ish way that I like so much....that was, however, until I saw her performance of Maggie-the-Cat.....

There was something very special about that sexy,manipulative and  edgy  performance that caught my attention as a teenage movie buff geek that I was....of course her acting was enhanced wonderfully by Paul Newman's cool indifferent Brick and by Burl Ives' "There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity..." Big Daddy....but you have to hand it to Taylor...she stole that movie fair and square from the men.....and will be always remembered for what it was....a class act by a great actress.

 

It is a glorious day here with temperatures in the mid 60s.....the dogs are sitting in the shade by my brother's pond, while I down the caffeine enriched diet coke in an effort to wake up a little. Andrew was not quite up to be dragged outside to play with Constance.....so Mohamed went to the mountain so to speak and huffing and blowing Constance galloped up the stairs for their first proper greeting.. it seemed to have gone well

She meets the mother  in law later.....I wonder how Sorrel will cope with a flatulent,slobbering,monster of a bitch with no teeth.ground dragging nipples and bad breath!
Hopefully with some alacrity

hey ho
