  1. Best Babs moment ever was seeing Babs live in concert in Sydney Australia in a sports stadium during a torential downpour! Babs had to wear a raincoat, and all the suckers sitting on the field in the expensive seats were drenched. My friend and I in the cheap seats in the satdium were undercover drinking gin and tonics out of a flask and having the best time! HB Babs!

  2. In 1976, my coworker, who had a fairly attractive, yet truly heavily pockmarked face, said, "If I had Barbra Streisand's flawless skin I'd be the happiest person in the world!" Which confused me, as she was a syrupy-sweet Southern secretary with a faithful husband, 2 kids, typed 80 wpm on her red Selectric typewriter, and didn't go through an entire bottle of Wite-Out in one week, unlike "some of her fellow coworkers". What more could you want?

    1. Applying Kreml as a moisturizer may have helped.

    2. Come to think of it, she did sport a healthy upper lip bristle. Conclusion: Kreml causes pock marks but grows stout hairs.

    1. The laughter, Norma.

      What's too painful to remember
      We simply choose to forget.

  4. About 30 years ago, walking to a friends house in DC one night for a party. It was a Barbra party and you were supposed to dress as something representative from her life. It had been a busy few weeks for me and I had planned no costume. I had taken a rather f*ckit attitude and decided that I was going anyway - costume or not. I was about a half block away and started to feel guilty that I hadn't made the effort when inspiration struck. I found 3 small rocks and put them in by back jeans pocket. My costume - Stoney End.

    btw David that sounds like the Sydney Cricket Grounds, where I sat outside the dressing rooms in those covered cheap seats in the pouring rain waiting to see if the weather would clear up so I could dress dancers for the 8pm curtain of the '93 Girlie Show Tour.

  6. Best Babs moment? Tricking with a guy in DC who put her on the stereo in his room so we could have sex without disturbing his roommate. Big muscly good looking man. When she started singing Don't Rain On My Parade, he told me to cum on his chest.

  7. I saw A Star is Born on opening night. Needless to say, the theater was packed and we ended up sitting in the first row, thus spending the entire evening looking up her nose!
