Hey Meryl Welcome to Your 60s!

*A close friend of mine is a rather outspoken fan of Meryl Streep, and by that I mean well beyond the fandom anyone who has experienced her work automatically assumes. Although a good portion of today was devoted to the icon (including a massive cake said friend had custom-made complete with a close-up shot of Streep in The Devil Wears Prada), I did feel a little acknowledgment on her Facebook wall was called for. This was my offering around noon:*

Happy STREEP Day. That's all.


*Naturally, seeing how fun that moment of posting a fabulous shot of Streep was, not to mention the enormous amount of work I had to complete, like any good junkie I could hardly stop at one once I started. Plus, it was a fun way to familiarize myself more with her resume. Soon, of course, my penchant for clever pun-filled taglines or headlines took over as well, although there is a noticeable bell-curve in quality as the day goes on (I assume just half of the blame, since a sculptor is only as good as his medium). Enjoy.*

• Who's the only girl who could out-bad El Barto? Oh, that's right...STREEP

I'd even watch this claptrap again in order to revel in the glory of STREEP (but don't quote me on it)

*And the following was entirely true, as this whole glorious time-waster was but a blip on the out-of-control radar that was yesterday. But see how efficient I am, extending a time-waster into a second work day so I don't have to waste time coming up with a new time-waster?*

• And now, exhausted, unshowered/changed, straight from a ten hour day at work, I am dragging my tired and unsexy-feeling ass to celebrate a genius at a gay bar in WeHo on Musical Monday. And one final time I now say:
  

That's all.
