Hollywood Party

February 22, 2019

1) I didn’t even have to finish reading this article in today’s NYT about ye Vynyty Fyrre’s party for ye Osycres to know that this year needs to be the very last year they hold it. As the old saying goes, “A lady always knows when to leave a party,” and I guess ye Grydon Cyrtyr is a lady since he retired last year as editor. And he created the party in the first place anyway! Like any personality cult, it won’t survive. Time to let it go.

2) Now THIS is the kinda Hollywood Party I’m talkin’ ‘bout!

2a) And the title number:

2b) “At that crashin’ furniture smashin’ Hollywood party!”

3) And in the words of the late Robert Young, “And now here’s to Beauty, Laughter, Romance, Music! On with the biggest party ever given in Hollywood!”

3a) singing “And there’s a reason, if you wanna know why! I’m in love, and feelin’ HIGH!”
