"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
I dismiss people who are overly critical about this country because it is easy to sit on the sideline and do nothing.
I'm scared by people who say everything about this country is great because they can be easily manipulated by leaders, who claim they can save the country or returned it to past glories, but in reality they damage the country.

Stefano Gabbano... refuses to be bullied, Melania is a D&G girl!
Stefano Gabbana of the Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana. Gabbana recently took to Instagram to show his gratitude to Trump, who wore a $2,995 little black dress from the label’s cruise collection at a New Year’s Eve bash in Palm Beach, Florida. The post, which declared Trump as a "#DGWoman," has generated over 1,000 comments so far
Of course she's a D&G girl! D&G are bone-headed morons who, despite being gay, spoke out publicly against gay marriage and gay parenting. Of course, they backpedaled when several high profile celebrities called for a boycott and the internet spanked them mercilessly (including an effort to capitalize on it with a fugly same-sex marriage bag, but Melania makes perfect sense for them. Homophobia, prejudism, hypocrisy and capitalism all rolled into one stinking pile of poo...it has Trump written all over it! I'm not surprised Petra is basking in the news.
Petralicious said: "Well I admit I love their bags. Most woman into fashion do.
Can you be a homophobe while in a gay marriage? I ask in all sincerity.
We have to remember they are not American. They come from a very conservative religious country"
Yes
Internalized homophobia is defined as the involuntary belief by lesbians and gay men that the homophobic lies, stereotypes and myths about them (that are delivered to everyone in a heterosexist / homophobic society) ARE TRUE.
We have to remember they are not American. They come from a very conservative religious country
That is irrelevant, not to mention a ridiculously stupid excuse. They are international fashion designers. They don't live in a bubble. The wife of Captain Creamsicle is an international model possessing "special skills" as a "model" that gave her easy access to a Green Card in the US. She has no excuse, either, though I wouldn't be surprised if she has any sense of awareness. I've no doubt pretty things that cost lots of money Trump petty little things in her world as in yours, like moral principles in a modern society.

"Thank you for fowarding that Erik, very interesting.
Matt, we do not agree and that is fine, That is what makes United States so great. But I have never ever attacked you, I wish you would stop attacking me.
As for Melania, did you know she speaks FIVE LANGUAGES? How many does Michelle or Hillary or Laura speak?
Did you know her father was a Used Car Salesman, and her Mother a seamstress? That she has been working, supporting her family since she was FIVE YEARS OLD? She is not some privileged bubblehead like you like to say. She is a bright hardworking Woman
D&G are not American. The same people make excuses for how Arab countries treat people all of a sudden expect Italian people to act like American
As for Melania, did you know she speaks FIVE LANGUAGES?
How many did she use for delivering Michelle's speech? Not that it's relevant to anything. This thread is all about how special she is cuz she's pretty! "Privileged bubblehead" are your words, not mine, but thank you for that.
D&G are not American.
Again...completely irrelevant.
The same people make excuses for how Arab countries treat people all of a sudden expect Italian people to act like American
First, who is making these excuses for how Arab countries treat people? And how are Dolce and Gabbana like Arab countries? Nobody is discussing anonymous "Italian people". Did you know Italy passed civil unions for LGBT couples in 2016? Did you know that Melabia is in America? Or that Dolce and Gabbana are aware their statements were considered controversial (thus triggering their backpedaling and creating that fugly bag)?

Melania is a COLLEGE DROPOUT!!!!! She applied to work in this country as a model of "extraordinary ability." What does that mean? She speaks FIVE LANGUAGES. Wow! She's stupid in each. She's a TROPHY WIFE.
Having a Slovenian in the White House says good things about the United States.
“It expresses the message that America is sending from past years which is that America is a land of opportunities, so anybody that lives (in) and comes to America can achieve great things.”
Stane Jerko is a photographer. He says he was one of the first people to see Melania Trump’s talent at a fashion show in Melania Trump’s hometown of Sevnica in 1987. Jerko says she was a quiet 17-year-old.
He said she was notable for her beauty and her energy.

You do realize that she is from a country that was not even in existence when she was born. Very Poor, opressed, behind the Soviet Block. She did not have the fraction of same opportunities and privileges that people here in United States take for granted. And now she will be living in the most famous powerful address on the earth. thats pretty darn impressive by anyones standard.

Because they don't have gold-diggers in Slovenia?

JUST STOP! You are being absurd. I have high standards and Melania Trump does begin to meet them. What charitable committees and causes has she leant her to name to support? There are many examples of men and women who were born very poor behind the Soviet Block who came to this country, made a fortune and used their wealth to help others. As far as I can tell, the center of Melania's world is herself, her son and Donald.
Please skip the sob stories of poor little Melania walking barefoot in the school. Please skip the sob stories of poor little Melania arriving in this country wearing a clothe coat with little money in her pocket. Yes, poor Melania! Nobody knows the troubles she's seen. Nobody cares!
Melania's is an age old story - She slept her way to the top!
