The Full Phyllis

It's been six months now since we've lost one of my absolute idols...Phyllis Diller...someone who's always been on my list of 'people living-or-dead I'd like to have over for dinner', and still is! And not just for her pretty face, bad wig and infectious cackle...but because she's a comedy pioneer, a legend and just an amazing person all the way around!

So, if you love her too, and you have an hour to spare, I suggest you take that time to watch this HBO special from 1977! The hilarious Miss Diller pulls out all the stops on this one...not only do you get to hear all her favorite gags, but she also performs two piano pieces at the end of the program! I loved it from start to finish, and I know you will, too! Enjoy, darlings!

Chez Gams

Here's a little pictorial tour of a few of my favorite things around Chez Gams!  Wish you were here...






























Gam-O-Rama!!

I'm talkin' about gams, my friends...and lots of 'em...in various configurations and costumes. If one good pair is good...four or more are even gooder!

Four On The Floor

Darlings, I don't need to remind you how nostalgic I am about 80's fitness videos! The fashions...the hair...the moves that practically guaranteed repetitive motion injury! Sigh...weren't those the days??

So I was thrilled to find this exclusive 80's workout for you fellas that I'm just sure you'll want to watch  (probably safer not to actually try)...over and over again!!  The deep-throated, sexist narration alone is worth your precious time and attention! Trust me!!

Warning!  Please consult your physician if you're not sure your heart can take this!

Whew!  Well, I'm certainly sweaty now, how about you?? After that, I think we all need a nice, smoggy c-o-o-l-d-o-w-n...whaddaya say??

Dear Abby

R.I.P. Pauline Phillips...aka Abigail Van Buren...
Dear Abby!

There's never been any other advice columnist for me!! I grew up with Dear Abby's advice in the daily paper, and I'm sure, during those impressionable years of my adolescence, her sage advice unwittingly shaped my perception of most every imaginable social and romantic do and don't, right and wrong, flaw and faux pas! She helped build my bitch muscles! Although, at the time, I don't think I really understood the subtlety and depth of Abby's wit! Case in point...here are a few intriguing letters taken from her book, The Best of Dear Abby, and her sassy responses!

Dear Abby: I've been going steady with this man for six years. We see each other every night. He says he loves me, and I know I love him, but he never mentions marriage. Do you think he's going out with me just for what he can get? GERTIE
Dear Gertie: I don't know. What's he getting?

Dear Abby: My boyfriend is going to be twenty years old next month. I'd like to give him something nice for his birthday. What do you think he'd like? CAROL
Dear Carol: Never mind what he'd like. Give him a tie.

Dear Abby: I know boys will be boys, but my 'boy' is 73 and he's still chasing women. Any suggestions? ANNIE
Dear Annie: Don't worry. My dog has been chasing cars for years, but if he ever caught one, he wouldnt know what to do with it.

Dear Abby: I am 44 years old and I would like to meet a man my age with no bad habits. ROSE
Dear Rose: So would I.

Dear Abby: What's the difference between a wife and a mistress? BESS
Dear Bess: Night and Day.

Whoa, Nelly!

Recently unearthed footage of me in my old college days...when I was known as "Nelly Kelly"...partying with my Sorority Sisters! Some things never change, folks, because this totally reminds of this New Year's Eve, when, once again, I was called on to kick up my heels and get the party started!

Hello, Kitty!

Me-ow!  Here's a little stray I found hiding among the hats at my local G-Willie's...ain't she sweet? Look at the cute button detail at the crown...and she's soooo soft to the touch! $5.99, you say? Well, I had to take her home with me, natch.

She's in purrr-fect condition...perhaps the poor dear has spent most of her life in a box...amazing how she's still right in style! She's sporting a RAINBOW of California label, but I can't seem to find any info on them anywhere...so she really is an orphan! But those lonely days are over...now she can start a new life in my heart and on my head! Thrift-O-Gasm!!
