To Dos Day

___ Item 1: WEAR an ascot...
...in memory of the one, the only - Charles Nelson Reilly. One of the beloved SuperQueers of StinkyLulu's tv-obsessed childhood. And then get ready to wear that ascot again when CNR's concert documentary (The Life of Reilly) hits theatres this fall.

___ Item 2: WON'T you be...
...my neighbor? This excellent Mental Floss post got StinkyLulu all misty. Over Mister Rogers. And then the lead of this week's PostSecret hit the flipside. But, hey, I'd take Fred Rogers as a spiritual mentor...any day. Take a listen to Act One of the "Neighbors" episode of This American Life for a vivid reminder...
!!!EDITED TO ADD: In comments, Jakey pointed me to Fred Rogers' acceptance of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1997 Daytime Emmys. Wow. Check it out.


___ Item 3: ASK anything...
...with Beth & Val as they share their distinctly bold insights about "Punching Kittens". They're NSFW and freakin'ilarious; "Poop" is purty funny too. (Via BitchPhD).

___ Item 4: IMAGINE the possibility...
...of Michelle Obama living in The White House. Whatever Ms. Dickerson says, StinkyLulu's fascinated by what it'd be like to have a woman with this kind of clarity in national public life.

___ Item 5: VISIT Nathaniel...
...at his new gig: Zoom-In Online.

___ Item 6: FINISH out...
...Supporting Actress - 1950 with tomorrow's post on Smackdown winner, Hope Emerson. (While you're at it, be sure to check out the profile of Celeste Holm, which StinkyLulu sneakily backposted early Monday.) Because a new month of Supporting Actress Sundays is just around the corner...

Have at it, lovelies...

Did you ever see the speech Mr. Rogers made when he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Daytime Emmys say, 10 years ago? Damn if I don't get misty just thinking about it, and I like to joke that I'm dead inside.

Wow, Jakey. Thanks for the tip.
And see the link in the edited post above... Sometimes YouTube really does deliver.
