Good Morning! This is a short blurb on Bernadette from Playbill, and I agree with every single word ---

"BERNADETTE PETERS
Five years is about five years too long to wait to see Bernadette Peters back on a Broadway stage.

That was one of the many things that went through my mind as I was once again enthralled by the Tony-winning talent as she entertained a sold-out crowd this past Monday evening at the Minskoff Theatre in Bernadette Peters: A Special Concert for Broadway Barks Because Broadway Cares. As I left the theatre on what can only be described as a Bernadette Peters high — something I first experienced in high school and still seem highly susceptible to more than two decades later — these were some of my other thoughts:

Is there anyone in the theatre community who engenders more good will than Peters? In fact, it's a lucky thing that she's a benevolent soul because her personality is so appealing that she could probably get her fans to do anything she wanted. That she wanted to spend an evening to raise funds for both Broadway Barks, which she co-founded with Mary Tyler Moore, and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, is more evidence that she is a kind-hearted person.

Also, why has Peters not aged while the rest of us have? She is truly as beautiful as ever. I used to suspect that the former Song and Dance star had found the Fountain of Youth and was occasionally taking a sip, perhaps even a full glass on matinee days. Now I believe she is swimming in it! And, the voice remains a powerful instrument; in fact, her soprano may even be stronger than ever. While her chest voice has matured and deepened so has her skill as an interpreter of lyrics. Combine that one-in-a-million voice and those interpretive skills, and the result is one of the great singers of our time."

Thanks for posting that Q...I agree with it all too. Love MY Bernadette.

The 'Fountain of Youth' comments crack me up - and it's so true! I mean HONESTLY, she's obviously doing something right.

Perhpas there is something in her father's bread recipe that we don't know about.

I always loved Sophia Loren's answer to how she got - and keeps! - that perfect body . . .


Pasta.

I guess the Italian women are on to something.

[Q]

Posted: 11/17/09 at 10:06am

I've heard what Italian women get on.

Some Italian men, too.

From what I've heard

Q...don't you have any Italian in you?

[Q]

Posted: 11/17/09 at 10:13am

If I recall correctly, once or twice.

Maybe more, but no more than a handful.

So to speak.

Boobs - you make it difficult for me to maintain my reputation of virtuous innocence . . .

Now that is the statement of the day Q...LMAO!!!!

I want to know where Q ever got the idea he had any innocence left.

Girly - I heard it on a street corner somewhere.

I have now officially begun my day of liquid diet and bowel-cleansing in preparation for my colonoscopy tomorrow morning.

The only thing I've made clear to the TinMan is that we will not be watching the Food Channel at any point today.

I've already had one funny moment over all this.

Our long-time primary doctor recently sold his practice to enter an administrative position, and going to the doctor because of this issue was my first time meeting the new guy - who turns out to be a hot ex-Army doctor in his early forties!

While sitting there trying to maintain whatever's left of my dignity (which I'm afraid is somewhere with my innocence,) he looks me right in the eye and says (without ANY irony,) "I'm sorry to tell you this, but I'm afraid we're going to have to get up inside your butt."

Now, you all know me, and you can only imagine how long the 3 seconds seemed while every conceivable response I could think of flashed through my mind. I'm happy to report that I decided discretion was the better part of valor.

What saved me was realizing that he didn't actually mean HIM, he meant the overweight 60yo gastrointernist he was sending me to.

Then it was hard at all . . . to remain 'appropriate'.

I hate when they do that. They should give you options...well choices of who you would like to perform the colonoscopy.

I think I've scared off our fairer posters.

Come on out ladies - I'll shut up now

One more:

"I hate when they do that. They should give you options...well choices of who you would like to perform the colonoscopy."

If only CJ were a proctologist.

Now, ladies, you may return.
