Counting down to Halloween I thought I would get Freaky Friday on your collective souls and give you one of the most unexpected celebrity Halloween costumes I came across while ghosting on the WWW. Behold celebrity vampire Dolly Parton as, witch cackle please...Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory! You know the spoiled brat who uttered this infamous line: "All I've got at home is one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle, and a silly old hamster! I WANT a SQUIRREL!" I'll take Dolly's version, much cuter and less toxic, to say the least. This creative and out of left field costume gets an A + from me. The only thing "Freaky" about it is who'd of thunk that Ms. Parton would ever conjure this diabolical idea up? Dolly on IG - https://www.instagram.com/dollyparton/?hl=en
Remember the feminist rock group L7? They are not dead.

A multi-city theatrical screening tour of the film will kick off on September 1, with over a dozen dates and more to be announced in select markets this Fall. Excitement around L7: Pretend We're Dead has catalyzed a widely anticipated reunion which unleashed their high-octane energy and anthemic chops upon stages worldwide. The band will play a stint of West Coast dates next month with more chances to experience the electrifying onslaught coming soon.
L7: Pretend We're Dead assembles a powerful combination of never-before-seen home video footage, raucous performances,and relevant interviews. It's a real time journey witnessing the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of the fierce feminist pioneers of American grunge punk, L7.

"Despite the very long hiatus ... L7 still pack major muscle on stage"
"I like their rebelliousness ...it's about being liberated and calling the shots... I definitely see a lot of us in them... and we're proud of that." - Joey Ramone "Songs like Wargasm, Diet Pill and Shitlist fulfill the ancient prophecy of a time when gurls would reinvent punk out of sheer delight in their own power" - Robert Christgau
"No one rocked harder than feminist grunge punk quartet L7"
