Legendary costume designer Theoni V. Aldredge

She won three Tonys (nominated for 14) and an Oscar & British Academy Award for The Great Gatsby. In 1984 more than 1,000 of her costumes could be seen in five musicals running simultaneously on Broadway: A Chorus Line, Dreamgirls, La Cage aux Folles, 42nd Street, and The Rink.

On Tuesday Broadway theaters will be dimming their lights to honor her memory.

Jack LaLanne at 96. RIP

That's pretty good - guess I need to start in with the push-ups and jumping jacks.

Which makes me wonder, were Jumping Jacks named after him?

ETA: Nope, it was named after a toy. Although, Mr. LaLanne did take the credit for making them popular in the US.

He's gonna carry his own casket at his funeral.

RIP Mr. LaLanne - you were quite a remarkable guy.

There ya go.


And he's STILL in better shape than me.

Looks like I missed a page! So sorry to hear about Moondoggie, and how scary about Kimchi! She's ok, now?

Somewhere (else) either Chris or Lisa posted that she just got ahold of a small plastic character. She passed it the old fashioned way which didn't require surgery and she is doing fine now.

Was it the kind that squeaked?
