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!
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?
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.
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.
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!

ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't get your 80s hairdo wet, David.
DeleteMJ, Luckily I had a head scarf to keep the coif dry

ReplyDeleteApplying Kreml as a moisturizer may have helped.
DeleteCome to think of it, she did sport a healthy upper lip bristle. Conclusion: Kreml causes pock marks but grows stout hairs.
Deletewhich ones are you looking for,
ReplyDeletethe misty water ones or the ones
from the corners of my mind?
The laughter, Norma.
DeleteWhat's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget.

Felix, you have it in one! Babs looked like a drowned rat
DeleteWoohoo! Some of the memory remains!
DeleteI've just realized what a fool I've been to think ANY of you had ANY memory left at all!
DeleteWell, there was that time when she ate a booger in front of the whole class.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, that was BarbAra Streisand.
nevermind.
I don't want to know!
