When I was a child, I thought Major Margaret Houlihan was one of the prettiest, smartest women in the TV world. She had beautiful blond hair and was the head nurse so she was the best. She was one of the highest ranking officers. Her tent was pretty and well appointed. She had lovers who […]

In 2023, they staged Miss Bennett, focusing on Mary Bennett finding love and pulling a stone cold […]
This Fascinating Aïda Christmas song is making the rounds on social media. I share it every time it comes across my feed. Then I thought to myself, self – why not preserve this humor in your pantheon of Winter Holiday blog posts. It’s essentially Spice Girls meets Henry VIII’s six wives. [All]Christmas comes but once […]
