Where You At?

Over this last weekend, I was a little too busy to actually think of a good girl/group of girls to insert into my weekly nostalgic spoogefest of an article. This was because I made the long trip down to the City (and if you don't know where that is, you clearly don't live there) to hit up a once in a lifetime experience ... OK, maybe a coupla times in a lifetime, but that's beside the point.


For those of you who don't know, Brett Favre made history (yet again) this weekend for winning the most games of any quarterback with a French last name. My dad and I went to the Giants-Packers game to root for opposing teams and hopefully get a good deal outta the event. And with the Pack scoring as many points as times my dad mispronounced "Favre," I think I was able to enjoy myself. My dad, on the other hand, was so exhausted (disappointed) that when he got home he had to go to sleep (cry like a little crybaby).

But along with witnessing greatness in the form of throwing a leather ball, I knew I had a duty to report something back to this ... Gentleman's blog. Luckily, the day before the game I caught a movie I'd probably seen many times before, but I was just never pedophilic enough to realize it's true beauty. That movie of course is Miracle on 34th Street, and the girl this Santa is waiting to put in his lap is little Susan Walker.

Natalie Wood

First let me make a coupla things clear: Yes, I'm aware she's only nine at the time of filming, and would be turning 70 if she were alive today. And yes I'm aware that the LLFD already has an column devoted to resurrecting and hittin' on the dead. To the first point- if the LLFD and Visionary Thinking had existed in 1947, I would have completely called this one. As per the second point, I owed Queen E an article jacking.

So the little girl in everybody's favorite holiday movie (except for Jews, Muslims, and whoever it is exactly that celebrates Kwanzaa) went on to be quite the beauty. Starrin in a coupla musicals (West Side Story and Gypsy) and bein' just plain sexy would have cemented Ms. Wood on anybody's Laminated List. Apparently, up and coming actor, Christopher Walken, may have taken his list a lil too seriously, and while he was arguing with with her hubby at the time, Wood mysteriously drowned. So Walken's success in his quest for Laminated List success may have led to a jealous murder. But then again, it's a mystery - you decide.
