So what goes with Health Care debates and the Tiger Woods scandal? This Tiger thing is so silly.

How much do you think one can make by saying you slept with Tiger? You know what…come to think of it…
I slept with Tiger!

Did you sleep with Tiger? I think we should have a national “I admit I slept with Tiger Woods Day”. That way at least this thing will just stop and we can get an actual news story reported. So tomorrow when you get up, get a white t-shirt out of your closet and take a magic marker and write on it, “I Banged Tiger” maybe you’ll get a stimulus check in the mail?

So here’s a little mixing of a star who falls and important health care issues.Clarke Gable plays an up and coming surgeon who’s gets caught up in infidelity. Men in White(1934)

The film is best know for how it handles the topic of abortion and more interestingly the man (Clarke Gable) suffering consequences of the botched procedure. (Dead girlfriend, public humiliation, fiance leaves him).The League of Decency was none to thrilled about this film and cut the daylights out of it as well as determining it was unfit for public viewing. Here’s a great description of the melodrama which has that fall from grace Tiger feel to it.

Claudette Colbert fleeing her wedding in her bridal gown which looked more like lingerie was who I always aspired to be as a bride.

Free, young and confident and ready to bolt on a moments notice if it wasn’t right and always ready to run away with Clarke Gable. (Fortunately, I had absolutely no desire what so ever to bolt on my wedding day. I had found my Clarke Gable.) It Happened One Night was the first wedding in a movie that made a huge impression on me. Or at least I remember thinking, “wow, she looks so sensual and free and sexy in that wedding dress!” or whatever a 6 year olds version of that thought process was. I just remember LOVING that dress. Well, I’m not exactly Ms. Colbert but I just wanted to recommend that movie to anyone who was getting married or had just got married. And since I just don’t have the physique or money for that kind of dress, anyone who can pull off that dress, I highly reccommend it. I just got married on Saturday and was trying to think of my favorite pre-code wedding movies and I could think of nothing more glamorous or fabulous than It Happened One Night. Nothing is more romantic than the walls of Jericho. I felt in the spirit of eloping since we had such a simple ceremony but it was so lovely I felt a little like I was running away and eloping. I highly recommend this. Nothing kills romance more than bills and lack of spontaneity. So in these difficult times, put the Bride’s Magazine down and run away together. Watch a little Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert and spend the night in a haystack eating carrots.
