Another Dona Fan Fetish

Oy! Am I on a downward spiral? From around the neck to below the navel!

April, 2011 Easter Basket, Anyone?

OMG, I feel like a pretzel in an M & M!  Easter egg avec moi ce soir? Easter isn't until April 24, very late this year! It's a big religious holiday for foreigners. It's more sacred than Christmas. They take Holy Week off from school and business, and everyone reflects on the true meaning of life. Getting depressed? I sure as hell am! And...adding to the depression, one of my favorite divas of all time - La Liz - left us March 23rd. So sad! I loved her! True Hollywood GLAMOUR! She had it in spades. The last of a dying breed! And to think how she sacrificed it all for her brave performance as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf! Hard to believe she was only 34 at the time she filmed that. She was amazing! And what about her undying commitment offscreen in the fight against AIDS? She was a gem! No other quite like LIZ!! I miss her already...
I am so flattered when people compare us!

I frankly don't think the look in my MGM lion test picture is anywhere near Taylor's ferocious growl as Martha, but I get fan letters all the time telling me I should pick up the drama where Liz left off. Me, a drama queen?
We're both public figures with ex husbands, though she beat me numberwise in that department and just about every other broad in Hollywood! If I could only live up to her stellar reputation for charity and good will. C'mon, Dona, you can do it! Time to come down off that pedestal, and give, give, give!

With Easter fast approaching, that means spring, dolls! And of course, in spring, ladies' minds turn not only to romance, but to fashion - the latest fashion! What is truly chic these days? ...Knock, knock...helloooo!? I was shocked and appalled to see the newest leisure wear modeled in a top selling magazine:

Mmmm...the Farmer John look. OK! Big, loose and sloppy! Kind 'a looks like what I wore fifty years ago to milk the cows or to conceal those extra unwanted lbs. Ughhh! What a thought! I hope leisure means around the house. Where would this gal go on a date? More to the point, looking like this, would a guy want to take her home to mother? With minds in the gutter these days...who has time for mother anyway? And what about the hair? THE HAIR??!! She's wearing it extra long and tossed over the shoulder. If it's short, what's in these days?

Not much different long or short! Did she just get out of bed, or better still the haystack?! And how much did that Bev. Hills hairdresser charge her for this unkempt holy mess?   Oy!!! 'Nuf said!
Where has all the glamour gone?

Happy Easter! Keep thinking spring and GLAMOUR - it's here somewhere. If so, Dona WILL find it and bring it your way! May, dollcakes!

Dona on the Big Screen

No, despite this producer's promo of Dona's face on the big screen, she is NOT making a film.
Of course, if the right price is offered...

Dona's Fandom

Some fans will do anything for attention. Some are sincere. Some go too far! This muscleman tatooed Dona on his back! She's surprised, shocked and...above all, tintillated! Yeaahh!
Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Bad Economy?

With a recession in full bloom, Diva Dona is adding her two cents to radically reform consumerism in America. "People will spend if they trust the face that's on the bill!"

Dona May Adorn Popular Fragrance

Chanel denies ever asking, so I'm thinking of creating my very own parfum, called Fragradona. Has a certain lilt, n'est-ce pas?

March, 2011 - GREEN QUEEN for a DAY

I'll do anything for Saint Patty, but I never thought for a million years, dolls, that I would be GREEN. Maybe I could pick up a tour as Elphaba? Too old, you say? You're never too old to be a witch... a bitch... no a witch...a bitchy witch...a witchy bitch! Whatever, I've got the stuff! Stay tuned! I may make Wicked yet!
And talk about wickedly gorgeous, have you seen the new Jane Fonda in 33 Variations @ the Ahmanson fresh from some PS? She looks uncannily like she did 50 years ago in those Barbarella days. Talk about sexy grandmas; she's got yours truly thinking about the kni.. ouch!!! No, no, no, never! But that's what Jane said too, and look at her! Don't get the wrong idea about those gloves. She doesn't do what you're thinking. This is adult stuff but good and clean!

In the meantime, let's talk about fans, dolls. If the item below is an example of how a Queen should be treated by...

How do I take this?! I have only one retort: chew on this m-----!

I never meant to be crass, but when you are sent a photo like the one above in the mail - for an autograph, no less! Ahhhh! The nerve and humiliation. I don't want to sound like a school marm, but tell me who you are, your return address shows only a post office box number in South Central LA. I'll do my best to forgive you! In the meantime, Oscar's on my brain!
I watched the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, February 27. Ann Hathaway and James Franco co-hosted - are you friggin' kidding? This job is reserved for the big wigs like Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Billy Crystal - thank God, he showed up - or Hugh Jackman: now there's a great piece of  ...
entertainment ... but these two youngsters are... inexperienced, babes in arms. True, Hathaway has an adorable personality and looked sensational in the several sleek gowns she wore, but...I'm speechless. Speechless, not breathless...Hmmmmmm!  And Franco's splendid drag as Marilyn Monroe was ruined by his refusal to do anything with it. He was as butch as all get out. He looked good, but had no fun with it.

Did I miss something? If it was intended that way, what a drag, indeed! I mean why put on that makeup, get all dressed up like a woman and then act like a man?! I should know all about that, my dears!! Thank God for Melissa Leo's four letter word - it broke the monotony of the evening and also Randy Newman's little joke about expanding the number of song nominees. Sandra Bullock's down-to-earth comments with the Best Actor nominees was also cute, but the overall show- a BORE! And that chorus of kiddies at the end performing "Over the Rainbow" gleefully as all the winners dashed out from behind like munchkins, from what looked like an unfinished outdoor set from The Wizard of Oz.    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!  Thank heavens it's only once a year that we have to suffer such insanity! Annette Bening -sadly a four time loser - looked glam as did Bullock and most of the others. Natalie Portman gave a lovely, sweet acceptance speech and Colin Firth - what a class act!
The gowns were pretty but this Hollywood Easter Parade needed more flair and pizazz like the shows of yesteryear!!!!!!! Where was the ENTERTAINMENT? Perhaps across the street at the Hollywood Roosevelt!?
April, dolls, with more dish!
