Hump Day & Chill

A Vibe
Marilyn Monroe & Gwen Verdon

With all the buzz about Blonde the fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe's life, well we need to Hump Day & Chill to Marilyn and her real life I say!

Here is, to me, an amazing behind the scenes photo of Marilyn and dancer extraordinaire Gwen Verdon on the set of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Gwen is watching every step Marilyn makes, while not the actual choreographer, Gwen is making sure Marilyn has it down, pitter pat.

Marilyn and Gwen, Gwen and Marilyn. They are giving a grand Hump Day & Chill vibe that is all their own.

Yes, they own it, and so should you!!!

The Emmy's Draw Nigh...

Gwen, Michelle, Gwen, Michelle
Michelle Williams
As an after thought this ayem I remembered today The Emmy's happen, unlike fetch they really do happen, every year...

Thus it got me thinking, not too much but just enough to recall one of the most stellar performances I have ever seen by an actress in a leading role, Michelle Williams nominated as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series/Movie for her portrayal of Gwen Verdon in Fosse/Verdon.

Let's face it, Sam Rockwell was good as Bob Fosse, but Michelle stole the MotherF#cking show as Gwen Verdon. Who knew little Jen Lindley from Dawson's Creek would emerge as a powerhouse acting butterfly?! Really, who knew? Any of you?

In conclusion while I will not be watching them I am rooting for Ms. Williams to hit a homer and take home The Emmy today. 

Why? Because she's worth it minions.

Mic Drop!
