Happy Birthday Ethel Merman!(1908-1984) “Lucy and Viv and I decided to get together for a hen party at Lucy’s house in Beverly Hills. She pulled out some old scotch and the three of us got progressively snockered. Then Lucy decided she wanted to do our hair. She had a little mock beauty parlor thing in the back of the house. Viv and I were drunk enough to let her. My God what we ended up looking like...we were hysterical with laughter! The next day Lucy threw a bridal shower for me, as I was about to make my disaster with Ernie Borgnine.” (Referring to her one month marriage to Ernest Borgnine.) —Ethel Merman #lucilleball #ethelmerman #vivianvance #henparty #henpartyideas #bridalshower #gettingdrunk #scotchwhisky #beautyparlor #hysterical #ernestborgnine #girlsjustwannahavefun #ladiesnightin #broadwaystar #thelucyshow #happybirthday #themerm #broadwaystar #waynelvslcy #drunk https://www.instagram.com/p/Cne_OBTPp_6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wearing Memories: Sherlock Holmes-Inspired Suit

In 1974 I was a FIT student and aspiring costume designer headed to the Broadway opening night after party of Sherlock Holmes at Sardi's, but I didn’t have a tux.  Friends suggested that I attend wearing a suit covered with renderings of the character Holmes. Ethel Merman entered. With Playbill in hand I made my approach when my friend suggested that I have her sign the suit. Ms. Merman did and that was the moment that I knew there was magic in that suit. 400-plus autographs later, the suit is an epic tale of generations of legends that are the fabric of special times. Broadway and screen celebrities, Presidents, political leaders, athletes, singers, and dancers have signed the suit. Here I am with Ann Miller.

Was invited by a student to a show they were participating in for the San Francisco Rock Project last night. Drag queens and rock students collaborated in some great performances to raise cash for the project. I was inspired by the “Ethel Merman Experience” to do a little doodle. I had never been inside the Tenderloin Museum before, was cool to see all of that as well! . . . #sanfrancisco #tenderloin #tenderloinmuseum #sanfranciscorockproject #studentartists #dragshow #dragqueen #ink #doodle #ethelmerman #ethelmermanexperience #supportlocalartists #supportlocalmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzGuLQBjvT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uqugyowmvcjd

This is one of those songs that’s too low AND too high, right @blbuckley 🙃 (it’s also probably considered a stalky song these days!!!! Things were more innocent back then, haha!) #youllnevergetawayfromme #gypsy #broadway #musical #sondheim #crooner #jazz #singer #music #julestyne #ethelmerman

Este extravagante musical acabo de descubrir que está gratuito en youtube y en su versión restaurada. Magnificos números musicales, inolvidables canciones de #irvingberlin, una bellísima #marilynmonroe y la legendaria #ethelmerman nos entregan un musical de absoluta evasión. Pueden ver la película accediendo al enlace en nuestra página de facebook #elsalonaudiovisualdefrancispou https://www.instagram.com/p/CKurX-oLll5/?igshid=egyzzhv9fbmx
