Immolation

Who doesn’t love the Greeks? First, they invent peach melba. Then Maria Callas. Then they donate a husband and provider to tragic grieving widow Jackie Kennedy. Pretty good, right? But wait, there’s more! No sooner do they set up that hilarious light show at the Parthenon than they produce this excellent mystery woman. The unnamed …

Hugs, Twisty: blamer proposes new occupation for spinster aunt

The Twisty inbox, for example, has never once contained an email reading “Dear Twisty, I could go either way about women’s …

Friday burlesque blogging

I was just kidding about turning I Blame the Patriarchy into an empty vessel of YouTube-itude, but that did not stop veteran blamer B. Dagger Lee from sending in the vid below.
