Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Sunday ONT. Glad you could stop by! Open thread, as always. Fashion and music, as always. How's August treating you so far?

Pay attention to this guy. He seems to understand how immunity works in the human body

Fauci talking about the flu in 2004:

“f she got the flu for 14 days, she’s as protected as anybody can be, because the BEST vaccination is to get infected yourself. If she really has the flu, if she really has the flu, she definitely doesn’t need a flu vaccine..”

Hopefully he will be called upon years later to explain this when a big pandemic hits and people are wondering the best course of action.

I've been sharing a lot of stuff about Flock cameras recently. Maybe I need to submit a Morning Rant thread about it so the daywalkers get to see this stuff.

Flock cameras are asshoe. Overreach and extremely counter to the 4th Amendment. Those who administer these things certainly understand the concept when they themselves are the ones being filmed. Here's another example.

Can’t even make this up.

Guy goes to film a Flock office building. He is met by Flock employees who say they don’t feel safe being surveilled.

I’m sorry, what….but they think it’s ok to mass surveil the American people. pic.twitter.com/bvPG38W0jT

Cher’s Dress Reveals on The Cher Show: When Primetime Got a Little Spicey

In the mid-1970s, long before everyone tried for viral red-carpet shock and awe, there was Cher. And there was that moment, every week, when she stepped onto the stage of her variety series The Cher Show, draped in a dramatic cape, cloak, or feathered cover-up, only to whip it away and reveal something spectacular underneath.

Those dress reveals, masterminded by the legendary costume designer Bob Mackie, weren’t just costume changes. They were events. It was mix of glamour, calculated shock value, and absolute showmanship that pushed the boundaries of what American television audiences expected to see on a Wednesday night. Decades later, the clips still circulate wildly on social media, looking every bit as daring as they did fifty years ago.

The Ritual of the Reveal
The Cher Show followed the end of The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour. Cher was now the solo star, and Mackie, already her trusted collaborator, went into overdrive. A single episode could feature multiple looks, but the signature moment was the dramatic unveiling. Underneath: a body-conscious confection of sequins, beads, cutouts, sheer illusion panels, feathers, and midriff-baring two-pieces that left little to the imagination.

Standout Moments That Still Sparkle
Among the many reveals, a few have achieved near-mythic status:

• The “Satisfaction” rainbow two-piece that fans still rave about for its pure joy and color.

• A striking turquoise number from “Got to Get You Into My Life”that stopped the show mid-spin.

• The purple “Crocodile Rock” drama.

• The white “Let Me Entertain You” sparkle

Each reveal felt like a mini fashion show compressed into a few electric seconds. The audience reaction, cheers, gasps, applause, it was all part of the performance. The sequined, feathered, cutout creations helped define the 1970s and continue to influence stage costumes, red-carpet risk-takers, and anyone who believes clothes should make an entrance. Glamour, after all, is best when it’s revealed.

Enjoy a compilation Cher’s season 1 reveals:

Oh, wow! You are very welcome! I didn't think most people read my yammerings!

I love that cookbook! The back cover is off and if I lost it I'd lose my Seafood Gumbo recipe forever! For about 2yrs after my father's mother's death I experimented til he said I had it like hers! She left no recipes, or very few, and was the most wonderful cook. Also the pecan pie recipe is a yearly treat for my men (I add more pecans that it calls for). Probably more. It was a wedding gift to me and I found one each for my DIL's.

My grandmother was woman who also could sew anything from looking at a picture. Before she married she was a milliner. I have photos.

She loved me bigly and I loved her right back as her only granddaughter. She had tears in her eyes when I moved West for college and that almost got me (I rarely cry). She did live to see my wedding and later our beautiful boys.

74 I love that statue of saving the dog! After working in the trauma unit I do hope if needed I run to the danger vs away. I guess my excuse could be age at this point, or yanking my grands out of danger.

In the past, though, on a few planes I helped flight attendants and the worst words my dude or sons ever heard were, "I'm a RN." They would groan.

I continue to make them nervous. We have a new priest and I wanted to meet him today after Mass. Son said, "Mom, this is not the time to tell him your history." I said I would not and all I said was, "Welcome." He said, "Well, you've been known to say more." I get the same deal in the car afterwards from my dude and I repeated I said ONE WORD.

He laughed and said it's just that we know you are never boring. Basically they are telling me I need to be watched at all times or I might go off like a lunatic.

77 You probably can't blame Cher all that much for the demise of her show. Variety shows were dropping like flies. Carol Burnett was canceled around that time. in the early 70s, Skelton, Gleason, Sullivan all bit the dust. Skelton had been on since '52, and Sullivan for 20 years too.

79 Temperature-wise, it was nice here.

But the nearby fires are huge. The one from Malheur County is well over 300,000 acres. The one north of Weiser blew up from 15,000 to 95,000 acres overnight. We had a dusting of ash on our cars this morning.

Reminds me of Fort Collins in 2012 and 2023ish.

The PNW is burning. Spokane has evacuation orders.

103 I have a contrarian opinion on the Flock cameras,

There is a town that has its own natural springs lake. Almost all of the shoreline and acreage back is privately owned—except for the dam and a couple long, thin peninsulas that the city.

One peninsula has a sign set up that asks visitors to not spend more than seven nights camping. Its a primitive park with a couple port-o-lets and maybe a dozen campsites that were defined organically by previous guests.

I'm guessing that the seven nights is an arbitrary number to keep it from turning into a homeless camp and annoying the lake house owners. Its too small to gate and staff. So how do they enforce it?

One Flock camera at the entrance. Get beyond its range and enjoy your lake side camping. The town has this only one camera.

Think of a better solution than a Flock camera.

I watched the Cher show when it first ran. She borrowed heavily from Carol Burnett, so much so that she had a segment where she took questions from the audience. Carol showed up in one segment as an audience member, and asked where she got the idea for taking questions from the audience. Off course it was all prearranged but Carol played it to the hilt and you saw the love that only good friends could sublimate for the sake of the joke. They should each write the other's biography...

121 @107...Kidman should let others start taking her roles as she's now too old to be playing some of them.

I dislike her because she's plastic inside and out. She claps her hands like a weird seal, which I realize I should not care about. She's had so much plastic surgery to her face her ears have grown larger,and I've read that's a sign of multiple face lifts. Fake. Fake. Fake.

I cannot imagine being that vain. I don't care about her marriages, surrogacy, or anything else. I'll be trying to find a movie and not watch it because of her.

Her parents were questionable, so I've read, in Australia. Father had something to do with pedo stuff and unsure of her mother. Kidman seems evil to me, otherwise I can't explain my disgust when I see her.

Ask your doctor if Hanging Fauci is right for you.

The medical system is incapable of admitting it was wrong. They just can't do it. Admitting their error, honestly evaluating why they screwed up and all that would be the way to restore confidence.

But the system is just flat-out incapable of doing that.

Tread lightly. River's Edge is super dark.

But, Speed, Point Break, Bill and Ted are good examples. Oh, just remembered: Parenthood. Small role, but it really captures his coolness.

He is the real deal.

164 I see a story out of Sweden where a 14 year old was raped by an immigrant.

The court found him innocent because since he didn't speak Swedish he probably couldn't understand when she said no.

Then Medical Doctors will stop being those respected professions that Country Clubs are built around, and become technicians, like the traditional role of Surgeon used to be when they operated out of barber shops and cut corns.

I would think it would be required of the actual rapist to determine if what he was up to was, in fact, legal, before doing it, regardless of any language barrier. If he didn't know she was underage, isn't that his fault?

171 I seem to remember that the Star Spangled Banner uses the music of an old drinking song. Is it easier to sing the national anthem while drunk?

The court addressed that. They said she could have passed for an adult.

Remember she was 14.
