Back in college, there was occasional discussion about whether anybody in your high school graduating class would have qualified for Playboy. Usually, somebody would say yes. We weren’t as aware of the effects of makeup through lighting, and the idea of a hundred shots to get the good one hadn’t occurred to us.
But, still, likely candidate.
Might have been wishful thinking.

Jordan Rivers said, “Haven’t see this yet, but is it coming — a pot-bellied middle-aged male model in a wife-beater undershirt?”

Well, Senator Fetterman will have to do in the meantime. He fancies wearing gym shorts and a hoodie around the Senate, even when he’s being photographed with four other senators: “Fetterman even kept his hoodie on for a news conference on the debt ceiling last week, with four Democratic colleagues clad in suits standing alongside him.” I first saw the photo over at Instapundit with the caption, “When you think it’s casual Friday but it’s only Thursday.” Anyway, you can see Fetterman’s casual gear (including a shot of his lower legs) at the link:

Maybe someone should give him a Roman senator’s toga, and show him how to wear it. He’s tall enough to carry one off.

I looked her up and found they are related. Sort of.

She spent her childhood in Martha’s Island, Massachusetts, and was brought up alongside her younger brother, Geoff Muldaur, who is the ex-husband of the musician Maria Muldaur.

Martha Stewart made an appearance on Gordon Ramsay’s “Masterchef” television series in a recent season. I think at the time they filmed the show, she was 78 or 79 – not young – but I was surprised at how frail she seemed, and I was surprised that the producers had let that show through the filming and editing process.
Speaking of people who are starting to show their age, Gordon Ramsay looks every bit his 56 years on recent shows…

I don't know Diana Muldaur. I was thinking for a moment of Maria Muldaur

Thanks much Windbag, but, um, I don’t believe I’ll open that one…
Nothing personal…it’s just that I’m not a huge fan of mankini-kind (my misanthropic streak, no doubt); nor do I sufficiently appreciate the towering talent of the versatile SBC…(just not my type, I guess).
As they say, “Life is too short”….
(But I AM looking forward to that SI issue….)

Art Deco:

Lovely lady (Diana Muldaur), thank you for the link. Beautiful too, just as God made her.

In the New Age of “Woke,” the proper refutation is the classic Peanuts cartoon of the obsessive pianist Schroeder.

Beethoven was his hero. His bust on a shirt, with text saying “Beethoven. Suck it, Wokies.”

I’ve long had on my list to view the British made for TV movie “Eroica” The Movie (some places) from 2003, twenty years ago. So, it’s 200th anniversary. (You should be able to stream it free on Youtube; there seems to be more than one post up of it.)

It is June, 1803 — 220 years ago.

It synthesizes an epochal moment in history where EVERYTHING changes.It has the finest casting, first rate scripting, and excellent production that surpasses the genre.

The conceit of the film has the greatest symphonist, the father if the musical form Hayden, sitting in for the final movement. The revered man becomes an oracle, defining the turn in time, away from classicism, into ego centered artistry in place of pure craftsmanship.

Leonard Bernstein judged the first two movements of Beethoven’s Third Symphony as the most revolutionary works in the entire symphonic musical literature.

Controversial in that time and place, as we get to see at this private premiere, it took three years to be accepted as a masterpiece.

Barry Meislin, I’m envisioning something like this.

The way things are going, we may soon witness a decision by SI to put Hunter Biden on the cover of its next swimsuit issue.
(If it DOES ever happen, he’ll most likely be modeling a full-length, see-through spandex wet-suit…with reduced reproductions of some of his better-known paintings covering sensitive areas; though if that proves a bridge too far then there’s always the prison-stripe design….)
