BABE OF THE DAY - LIZ TAYLOR...?
This babe about to take a New Year dip sure
looks like LIZ TAYLOR to me, but I'm not quite
100% certain. (Not that it really matters, of course.)
Glad to see she's got her buoyancy aids with her,
'cause that sea looks kinda rough to me.

Liz Taylor was the first person I know of who was called "famous for being famous" - she got that description in the '80s long after her film career was over but she was so famous she didn't need one. Nowadays "famous for being famous" is applied to the zillions of here-today-gone-tomorrow non-entities who flood public life. I was in Tesco early this morning and the woman at the checkout didn't know that Christmas ends officially on January 6th - and to think Twelfth Night was once a massively important event. Tragic.
Trouble is, CJ, that people nowadays tend to think of Christmas and New Year as two separate holidays that just happen to be a few days apart - like it's a coincidence. People, eh?
Kid, I also think the concentration on Christmas Day and getting presents has a lot to do with it. Once the present-buying orgy is over consumer capitalism has no further use for Christmas and it's on to the next thing. I haven't seen any Easter Eggs or hot cross buns yet but it'll be any day now.....
Might be Liz but it looks more like Lindsay Lohan in a bad wig in that TV movie they made about Taylor. The notion of Lohan playing Taylor is almost (but not quite) as ludicrous as Jennifer Love Hewitt starring as Audrey Hepburn.

I'm surprised they weren't on sale back in September, CJ. After all, Christmas things were.

Whoever it is, she's still a darlin' 'though, eh, GB?
