So, (1) because I want to entertain my imaginary little sister (hi ncs!) on the Fashion Board, and (2) I'm tired of seeing Sebby rationalize his Not Vote for HRC on the Politics Board, I decided to escape the world and to make some noise here.
I'll start with another in the series of Not Bob's Potentially Unpopular Opinions (a series that is, counter-intuitively, among the most popular offerings on LawTalkers*):
Not Bob recently discovered that he finds 1960s and 1970s** Barbra Streisand attractive. As evidence I give you this:
I hear the snickers. But what can I say? I like what I like.
She looks good in this one from a very funny movie, too, but I mostly posted it because she made me laugh in said movie. We think of her today as a perhaps overly serious actor/writer/director (hello, Prince of Tides?), but it's important to remember is that she made a lot of intentionally funny movies during the Not Bob Thinks She's Hot era.
Apparently JFK agreed with me. "Here's my numbah, Miss Streisand"
And for my people, Saint Jack could do no wrong (I've mentioned the busts and commemorative plates of JFK and RFK that my father and uncles all displayed in living rooms in The Ancestral Homeland, no?)
So, mock away. Tomorrow I will post about various albums (including but not limited to Cheap Trick Live at Budokan, The River, and Some Girls) that influenced me and which helped make me the Not Bob that you all know and occasionally love.
*Take me seriously, Not Literally.
**Pre-disco era 1970s. I mean, look at A Star Is Born -- she lost me there.
