MY BREASTS ARE FILLED WITH LOVE AND LIFE

So Liz Taylor is gone.

She was Cleopatra, you know.

You don’t need me to tell you either of those things, of course. But I thought I’d post the Cleopatra trailer anyway, because who doesn’t enjoy marketing this large?

“The movie so epic that even the trailer is five minutes long!”

Also, the film itself is a master-class in how to damn near bankrupt a movie studio. It was the highest grossing movie of 1963, and 20th Century Fox still managed to lose money on it. It’s also the only film ever to accomplish that. (To be fair, they didn’t have the HBO/home video after-market in those days.)

DISCLAIMER: Personally I preferred the “Maggie The Cat” version of Liz. But then I have a thing about slips, so I would, wouldn’t I?

Siren of the Nile,

This is dF

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT YOU DO TO ME

ITEM [via popfiend ]: Loleatta Holloway is also gone.

Holloway isn’t as famous as, say, Liz Taylor – unless you followed the 70s disco charts. Or have more than a passing familiarity with the Mark Wahlberg music catalog.

But she had an amazing voice. And she gave us “Love Sensation”.

Twice.

I prefer the 1980 version, myself.

Thank you baby,

This is dF
