Birthday Lamentations on 6/6/06.

Today has the mark of the devil - 6/6/6 - so it must be time to with a very Happy 52nd Birthday to Harvey Fierstein! You know it takes a real (interesting) man to adequately fill Divine's shoes as the gloriously John Waters' confection, Edna Turnblad. Harvey certainly cut a dashing figure in the signature drag role. Can you believe JOHN TRAVOLTA is going to try out this role in the 2007 Hairspray movie? Oh, the humanity! From white leisure suits to beehives and girdles... what a weird journey. Anyways... back to black birthdays....

Pray for these birthday-challenged individuals, for if they survive today... they won't have this problem for another 100 years. Sandra Bernhard will probably be plastically preserved and still around! Max Casella (38), Paul Giamatti (39), Steve Vai (46), Bjorn Borg (50), Sandra Bernhard (51), and Levi Stubbs (70).
