Please Pass The Ice Bag
What a party week... what a hangover.

One of these years I'm gonna have to go to Rio, but New Orleans was my favorite port of call last week.

I'm in a Tennessee Williams state of mind. So while we clear our heads of the last of the demon alcohol, The Nut House will have another special Sunday Edition of Double Feature Afternoon Tea(or espresso if you really need a kick).

First we'll have the color feature, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof(1958). I know, it takes place in Mississippi, but I love the whole "Mendacity" thing. My vote for the name historians will give this political era is "The Age of Mendacity"- hopefully we're at the late afternoon of this age.

Second feature, Suddenly Last Summer(1959), thank God we don't lobotomize people for witnessing atrocities, or we'd all be in big trouble.

The dress code has been altered to one-piece slips, striped PJ's, high-necked Edwardian getups, and white doctor coats(straight jackets allowed if you bring your own handler). And if you can carry it off, an all white(seersucker?)suit. No cannibals or "no neck monsters" allowed.

I almost forgot, if you need to bitch about your job, The Nut House has a new addition, HazelNut's Dog House. Hazel loves a good bitch session, and she won't rat you out to your boss. She's such a good girl, yes you are.

Looking forward to tea, and a bit of the hair of the dog.
