WFMU: High Waisted Modernists with DJ GeorgyGirl: Playlist from July 19, 2023

Listener comments!
	2:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Get your disco pants on, my lovely Modernists! :-)
	2:38pm Mr. Oxford: Hey DJ GG! The first time I heard about the Harvey Wallbanger drink was two weeks ago while watching a comedy video about a terrible Reality TV show called Bar Rescue. In this show, a team of bar experts rescue bars from going out of business. In one episode, one the experts shames a bartender for not knowing how to make a Harvey Wallbanger. That show is a train wreck.
	2:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:38 Hello, lovely Mr O! :-) I do like a bit of train wreck TV tho ;-) Are we talking "so bad it's good" or just BAD?
	2:45pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @2:39 I think it maybe under "so bad it's good" category. I watched a YouTube video wherein two young comedians were watching an episode and making jokes about it. It was funny in that context. But I haven't tried watching an episode by itself. This was the video I watched. Those two comedians are even younger than me and their humour may by a bit cringey for some. But I happen to enjoy it haha: www.youtube.com...
	2:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:45 I've just bookmarked that for my later viewing pleasure! Thank you <3
	2:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's that time of day (summer only) when the set begins to set and hits the windows of the building opposite, so I am currently crouched behind my laptop screen to avoid blindness. Lol
	2:52pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @2:49 Oh my...problems of the Northern Hemisphere summer.
	2:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:52 Luckily, it's only for about ten or so minutes but it's BRIGHT and it shines right into my eyes if I sit up straight at my desk. Lol
	2:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Having said that, there's an ENORMOUS dark cloud floating past the side window so it could all change ;-)
	2:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The weather in the UK is like the buses - if you miss one, another will be along in about five minutes, and usually there's two or three ;-)
	2:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Are we all sitting comfortably tho, with cocktails in hand? :-)
	2:56pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @2:55 Same here in Estonia this summer. It's burning sunny, then pouring rain, then clear skies but super windy. All in the span of 8-10 hours.
	2:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:56 Yep! I know that one :-)
	2:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: I am here. But in listening mode. Hi GG! Hi Mr. Oxford!
	3:00pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @2:59 Hey PK!
	3:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @2:59 Hello, my dear PK! <3
	3:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Time to get our sleaze on! ;-)
	3:01pm Mr. Oxford: I don't have cocktails but rather a late dinner in my hand. Not very comfortable but that is my fault. The music will make things more comfortable though.
	3:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And a HUGE thank you to the lovely Laurie of "Beneath the Underground" who has been promoting Modernists <3
	3:01pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Georgy, Mr Oxford and ah wel, Mijnheer Peper Kosmonât, u ook al hier, reeds?
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:01 Always happy to provide the comforting environment :-)
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @3:01 Hello, lovely Jan! <3
	3:02pm Krys O.: Hello!
	3:02pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @3:01 Goedenavond, Jan!
	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Krys O. @3:02 Krys! Hello, my lovely! <3
	3:03pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Krys O. @3:02 Howdy, Krys O!
	3:03pm Jan Turkenburg: Hello again, Krys!
	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Today's show may provoke blushes. ;-)
	3:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The book itself alternates between different characters - I'm reading some of Fontaine's chapters (ie Joan Collins in the film) :-)
	3:05pm Kat in the chat: I like this Trashy Novel Modernists trend
	3:05pm Paper Kosmonaut: Blushes eh? we'll see about that. (-:
	3:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Kat in the chat @3:05 Hello, lovely Kat!! I am having SO much fun doing this :-)
	3:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:05 LOL!
	3:06pm Stanley: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:03 That pic of Joan is making me a little hot under the collar.
	3:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:06 Hello, dear Stanley! That's Jackie! :-)
	3:07pm WM: Jackie Collins - a good follow up to Jacqueline Susann.
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:06 Or, are you looking at THAT picture? ;-)
	3:07pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:06 Stanley's vision already blurred
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:07 Hello, lovely WM! I'm going with the Holy Trinity of Trash - next week is Judith Krantz :-)
	3:07pm Krys O.: We lost Jackie years ago. :(
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:07 His glasses'll be steaming up next ;-)
	3:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Krys O. @3:07 That was such a shock as well :-(
	3:09pm Stanley: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:06 Thanks Georgy. I thought I was losing it.
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Is it me or is it jolly hot in here? Lol
	3:10pm Mr. Oxford: I do not know about blushing but I am certainly laughing hearing the current and previous narration fragments. It is so distant from my world haha.
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:09 I blame the cocktails ;-)
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:10 Can you tell how much fun I had doing this? :-)
	3:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Fontaine really is a dreadful human being. Lol
	3:14pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:13 Haha
	3:14pm Stanley: I have to be honest and say I have never read a Jackie Collins book. I fast forward during hot scenes on the tv. I admit I'm a bit prudish.
	3:14pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:13 On the other hand it is a perfect example of a maternal society-idea. men are like bee-drones, good for that one thing and useless for the rest.
	3:15pm Mr. Oxford: I am just looking up Jackie Collins and her work. I am surprised to learn they were made into movies too.
	3:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:14 The thing about Jackie Collins, trashiness aside, is that she was a damn good author. All her books operate in the same universe so you have recurring characters in different series :-)
	3:15pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:14 Interesting perspective.
	3:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:14 She certainly pushes that!!
	3:15pm WM: Were any novels by Judith Krantz ever made into movies?
	3:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:15 "The Stud" is crefdited with not only revitalising Joan's career but also landing her the part of Alexis in Dynasty :-)
	3:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:15 I remember Princess Daisy and I'll Take Manhattan both being mini series on TV :-)
	3:17pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:16 But with the saucy bits taken out entirely...
	3:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm reading from I'll Take Manhattan next week :-) The mini series stars Valerie Bertinelli and a pre-stardom Julianne Moore! :-)
	3:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:17 Pretty much ;-)
	3:18pm egould: Trashy novels make fine summer reading. Leave the Dostoevsky for dark winter days.
	3:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:18 Hello, egould! :-)
	3:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Poolside, cocktail, trashy novel - that's the perfect holiday :-)
	3:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:17 I had high expectations as a randy teen. But no...Too much Keach, and no c**ch.
	3:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: I'll get me coat
	3:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "You know what I mean ..." MADAM!!! Such sauce!
	3:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:20 Of course! I completely forgot he was in it! :-)
	3:22pm WM: How about a study of trash novels by women that were turned into movies? That would include Valley of the Dolls, The Stud, Peyton Place, The Best of Everything, etc.
	3:22pm egould: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:19 Hello GeorgyGirl. Hi PK. Hi to everyone.
	3:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:22 Gosh! Peyton Place! That takes me back :-) Jolly good idea, too! :-)
	3:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do have Lace on standby ;-)
	3:24pm egould: ↳ WM @3:22 Of course, alot of genre fiction (crime novels, Westerns, sci-fi) was considered trashy.
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:24 Oh absolutely! I remember reading sci-fi novels as a teen and having friends look down on them
	3:28pm Feldy: Hello my darling GG!
	3:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Feldy @3:28 Adam, my dear one!!! :-) <3
	3:29pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Lovelies!!!
	3:29pm Domenic: Jackie Collins is Jacqueline Susann on steroids
	3:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: Adam! 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	3:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:29 BABS!!! My goodness!! Hello, my dearest!! <3 How's your most deserved holiday going? <3
	3:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ Babs @3:29 hey Babs!
	3:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:29 Hello, lovely Dom! Oh, she certainly is ;-)
	3:30pm Mr. Oxford: Hello egould, Feldy, DJ Babs, Domenic and WM!
	3:30pm WM: I'm wondering if there is a trash style that is particular to women. (As opposed to the masculine trash of Mickey Spillane, etc.) Or is this a backwards and politically incorrect suggestion?
	3:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I should have just called today's show "Sheer Filth" and had done with it. Lol
	3:30pm DJ Babs: Hi PK! Hi Georgy! The vacation is going well! Happy to be able to catch up on my radio...and my workouts...headed to the beach tomorrow so very excited about that!
	3:31pm DJ Babs: Lol I couldn't miss this one! Joan Collins is the guiltiest of pleasures!!!
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:30 I mean ... they both are obsessed with money/power/sex etc. I don't know. I'd have to think about that :-)
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:30 Oooo! May I come to the beach with you, pretty please? :-)
	3:31pm DJ Babs: *Jackie Collins I mean! lol
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:31 I never miss an opportunity to feature Joan ;-)
	3:32pm DJ Babs: Everyone shall be coming with us to the beach tomorrow!!! ;-)
	3:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:32 <3 <3 <3
	3:33pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ Babs @3:32 yay!
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's an incredible French and Saunders parody of Jackie and Joan called "Lucky Bitches"> My friend Rick and I used to quote it constantly ;-)
	3:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Cocky (A)" by "Daryl Runswick" Rather apt title. LOL
	3:35pm egould: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:34 There's an incredible French and Saunders parody of.... is all that needs to be said.
	3:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:35 LOL! This is true ;-)
	3:36pm DJ Babs: ooh I bet it's on youtube I have to find that!!!
	3:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:36 It's absolutely 1000% worth it :-)
	3:37pm Feldy: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:29 Thanks, Paper Kosmonaut! Just the pick-me-up I needed friend!
	3:37pm WM: The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe was made into a 1959 movie starring Joan Crawford. The line featured on the movie poster read "Here's to men! Bless their clean cut faces and dirty little minds!"
	3:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:37 Now THAT is a fabulous tagline!!
	3:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: A quick note about forthcoming shows: this Friday's Flange is Cat Stevens' birthday, and then next Wednesday's Modernisits is 80s trash with Judith Krantz and "I'll Take Manhattan" :-)
	3:42pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:40 "I'll Take Manhattan" - all of them?
	3:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:42 It's a conceit of the main character's father ;-)
	3:43pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:40 Will "Here Comes My Baby" be played on Friday? Now that you mentioned Cat Stevens, I am remembering that song which in turn reminds me a of a girl whom I once liked when I was 23, and she once sang the chorus of that song to me to cheer me up. Sorry for going down the memory lane hahaha.
	3:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:43 I do believe it is :-)
	3:44pm DJ Babs: loving the musical selections as well!
	3:44pm Paper Kosmonaut: this Jackie Collins story is quite saucy and egocentric but.. it lacks coke.
	3:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:43 Memory Lane is good! <3
	3:44pm Feldy: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:44 LOL! @PK
	3:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:44 Thank you!! One of my fave sections of the library ;-)
	3:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:44 Ah now - the novel is set in the 60s. That explains the lack of coke :-)
	3:45pm WM: The trash movie/novel that most fascinates me is A Summer Place (1959) starring Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue. It was made just before the outbreak of the Sexual Revolution (just before the introduction of the Birth Control Pill). The conundrum for writers/directors of the time was how to squeeze in as much sex as possible without actually showing or acknowledging people "doing it."
	3:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:45 Ah yes!! I shall add that to my list :-)
	3:47pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:45 That indeed explains it.
	3:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:47 The discotheque in the novel is vastly groovier ;-)
	3:49pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:44 I find this especially funny because all this time while listening to these Jackie Collins excerpts I am imagining a particular character in the Paul Thomas Anderson movie Boogie Nights who routinely commits adultery. That movie also has disco, sex....and coke.
	3:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:49 I love that movie :-)
	3:49pm egould: 'Love Story'. Cheesy melodrama.
	3:50pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:49 Me too. It's a masterpiece.
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:49 Of course!!! How could I forget that one!!! Excellent suggestion :-)
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:50 Never has Sister Christian been used in that perfect a way :-)
	3:52pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:50 Ohhhh so true!! I forgot about that. And "Jessie's Girl" too in the same scene. That is such a great scene in the movie.
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I got ahead of myself with the playlist there ;-)
	3:52pm egould: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:50 Sister Christian reminds me of Lois W back in 8th Grade. She loved that song. I loved her.... Sorry to be going down Memory Lane. ;-)
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:52 It's one of my fave movie soundtracks :-)
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:52 No apologies needed for memories! That's the beauty of music :-)
	3:53pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ egould @3:52 That's sweet. To quote DJ GG from earlier in the chat, "Memory Lane is good"!
	3:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Music works much better for me than keeping diaries - I can pinpoint exact moments in my life with specific tracks :-)
	3:54pm Mr Fab: Hey GG! Missed most of this trip into forbidden housewife literature thanks to a durn work meeting, but boogie-ing along now.
	3:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:53 Exactly :-)
	3:54pm Stanley: Great soundtrack to this old bunkum!
	3:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:54 Hello, dear Mr Fab!! This would have been far too distracting in a meeting! ;-)
	3:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:54 Thank you, lovely :-) <3
	3:55pm WM: I thought Boogie Nights was a pretty good movie, but it veered into off the subject plots and didn't really address the question - why exactly did porn become so pervasive starting in the early 1970s?
	3:55pm egould: Thank you DJGG. Fun way to waste an hour.
	3:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:55 Sexual revolution ... Joy of Sex ... porn suddenly became "chic". It's a good question!! :-)
	3:56pm DJ Babs: Agreed! The perfect soundtrack to my enchilada preparations ! Thank you Georgy!!!!
	3:56pm Mr. Oxford: Thank you DJ GG for a very fun show!
	3:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:55 I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And I'm happy that it invoked memories for you :-)
	3:56pm Paper Kosmonaut: Good choice of fragments, solid backing tracks. Loved it. Thanks GG!
	3:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:56 Thank you, my lovely one! Have ENORMOUS fun at the beach tomorrow :-) <3
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:56 Thank you, my lovely! <3
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:56 Thank you, dear PK! :-) x
	3:57pm WM: Must have been a case of return of the repressed.
	3:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ WM @3:55 Read this, it explains it all a little better: en.wikipedia.org...
	3:58pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ WM @3:55 That's a good point. I look at the movie as more of a period piece that shows the journey that all these characters have while navigating different decades.
	3:58pm WM: Thanks for the suggestion.
	3:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And that's our sleaze for the week ;-)
	4:00pm Feldy: Spicy story! Thanks Georgy!!
	4:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Feldy @4:00 Thank you, lovely Adam! <3
	4:00pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ Babs @3:56 Happy Enchilada!
	4:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: See you all at the Flange on Friday for Cat Stevens! :-) xx

Listener comments!
	2:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Get your disco pants on, my lovely Modernists! :-)
	2:38pm Mr. Oxford: Hey DJ GG! The first time I heard about the Harvey Wallbanger drink was two weeks ago while watching a comedy video about a terrible Reality TV show called Bar Rescue. In this show, a team of bar experts rescue bars from going out of business. In one episode, one the experts shames a bartender for not knowing how to make a Harvey Wallbanger. That show is a train wreck.
	2:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:38 Hello, lovely Mr O! :-) I do like a bit of train wreck TV tho ;-) Are we talking "so bad it's good" or just BAD?
	2:45pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @2:39 I think it maybe under "so bad it's good" category. I watched a YouTube video wherein two young comedians were watching an episode and making jokes about it. It was funny in that context. But I haven't tried watching an episode by itself. This was the video I watched. Those two comedians are even younger than me and their humour may by a bit cringey for some. But I happen to enjoy it haha: www.youtube.com...
	2:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:45 I've just bookmarked that for my later viewing pleasure! Thank you <3
	2:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's that time of day (summer only) when the set begins to set and hits the windows of the building opposite, so I am currently crouched behind my laptop screen to avoid blindness. Lol
	2:52pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @2:49 Oh my...problems of the Northern Hemisphere summer.
	2:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:52 Luckily, it's only for about ten or so minutes but it's BRIGHT and it shines right into my eyes if I sit up straight at my desk. Lol
	2:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Having said that, there's an ENORMOUS dark cloud floating past the side window so it could all change ;-)
	2:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The weather in the UK is like the buses - if you miss one, another will be along in about five minutes, and usually there's two or three ;-)
	2:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Are we all sitting comfortably tho, with cocktails in hand? :-)
	2:56pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @2:55 Same here in Estonia this summer. It's burning sunny, then pouring rain, then clear skies but super windy. All in the span of 8-10 hours.
	2:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:56 Yep! I know that one :-)
	2:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: I am here. But in listening mode. Hi GG! Hi Mr. Oxford!
	3:00pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @2:59 Hey PK!
	3:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @2:59 Hello, my dear PK! <3
	3:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Time to get our sleaze on! ;-)
	3:01pm Mr. Oxford: I don't have cocktails but rather a late dinner in my hand. Not very comfortable but that is my fault. The music will make things more comfortable though.
	3:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And a HUGE thank you to the lovely Laurie of "Beneath the Underground" who has been promoting Modernists <3
	3:01pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Georgy, Mr Oxford and ah wel, Mijnheer Peper Kosmonât, u ook al hier, reeds?
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:01 Always happy to provide the comforting environment :-)
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @3:01 Hello, lovely Jan! <3
	3:02pm Krys O.: Hello!
	3:02pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @3:01 Goedenavond, Jan!
	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Krys O. @3:02 Krys! Hello, my lovely! <3
	3:03pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Krys O. @3:02 Howdy, Krys O!
	3:03pm Jan Turkenburg: Hello again, Krys!
	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Today's show may provoke blushes. ;-)
	3:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The book itself alternates between different characters - I'm reading some of Fontaine's chapters (ie Joan Collins in the film) :-)
	3:05pm Kat in the chat: I like this Trashy Novel Modernists trend
	3:05pm Paper Kosmonaut: Blushes eh? we'll see about that. (-:
	3:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Kat in the chat @3:05 Hello, lovely Kat!! I am having SO much fun doing this :-)
	3:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:05 LOL!
	3:06pm Stanley: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:03 That pic of Joan is making me a little hot under the collar.
	3:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:06 Hello, dear Stanley! That's Jackie! :-)
	3:07pm WM: Jackie Collins - a good follow up to Jacqueline Susann.
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:06 Or, are you looking at THAT picture? ;-)
	3:07pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:06 Stanley's vision already blurred
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:07 Hello, lovely WM! I'm going with the Holy Trinity of Trash - next week is Judith Krantz :-)
	3:07pm Krys O.: We lost Jackie years ago. :(
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:07 His glasses'll be steaming up next ;-)
	3:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Krys O. @3:07 That was such a shock as well :-(
	3:09pm Stanley: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:06 Thanks Georgy. I thought I was losing it.
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Is it me or is it jolly hot in here? Lol
	3:10pm Mr. Oxford: I do not know about blushing but I am certainly laughing hearing the current and previous narration fragments. It is so distant from my world haha.
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:09 I blame the cocktails ;-)
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:10 Can you tell how much fun I had doing this? :-)
	3:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Fontaine really is a dreadful human being. Lol
	3:14pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:13 Haha
	3:14pm Stanley: I have to be honest and say I have never read a Jackie Collins book. I fast forward during hot scenes on the tv. I admit I'm a bit prudish.
	3:14pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:13 On the other hand it is a perfect example of a maternal society-idea. men are like bee-drones, good for that one thing and useless for the rest.
	3:15pm Mr. Oxford: I am just looking up Jackie Collins and her work. I am surprised to learn they were made into movies too.
	3:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:14 The thing about Jackie Collins, trashiness aside, is that she was a damn good author. All her books operate in the same universe so you have recurring characters in different series :-)
	3:15pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:14 Interesting perspective.
	3:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:14 She certainly pushes that!!
	3:15pm WM: Were any novels by Judith Krantz ever made into movies?
	3:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:15 "The Stud" is crefdited with not only revitalising Joan's career but also landing her the part of Alexis in Dynasty :-)
	3:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:15 I remember Princess Daisy and I'll Take Manhattan both being mini series on TV :-)
	3:17pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:16 But with the saucy bits taken out entirely...
	3:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm reading from I'll Take Manhattan next week :-) The mini series stars Valerie Bertinelli and a pre-stardom Julianne Moore! :-)
	3:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:17 Pretty much ;-)
	3:18pm egould: Trashy novels make fine summer reading. Leave the Dostoevsky for dark winter days.
	3:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:18 Hello, egould! :-)
	3:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Poolside, cocktail, trashy novel - that's the perfect holiday :-)
	3:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:17 I had high expectations as a randy teen. But no...Too much Keach, and no c**ch.
	3:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: I'll get me coat
	3:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "You know what I mean ..." MADAM!!! Such sauce!
	3:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:20 Of course! I completely forgot he was in it! :-)
	3:22pm WM: How about a study of trash novels by women that were turned into movies? That would include Valley of the Dolls, The Stud, Peyton Place, The Best of Everything, etc.
	3:22pm egould: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:19 Hello GeorgyGirl. Hi PK. Hi to everyone.
	3:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:22 Gosh! Peyton Place! That takes me back :-) Jolly good idea, too! :-)
	3:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do have Lace on standby ;-)
	3:24pm egould: ↳ WM @3:22 Of course, alot of genre fiction (crime novels, Westerns, sci-fi) was considered trashy.
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:24 Oh absolutely! I remember reading sci-fi novels as a teen and having friends look down on them
	3:28pm Feldy: Hello my darling GG!
	3:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Feldy @3:28 Adam, my dear one!!! :-) <3
	3:29pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Lovelies!!!
	3:29pm Domenic: Jackie Collins is Jacqueline Susann on steroids
	3:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: Adam! 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	3:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:29 BABS!!! My goodness!! Hello, my dearest!! <3 How's your most deserved holiday going? <3
	3:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ Babs @3:29 hey Babs!
	3:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:29 Hello, lovely Dom! Oh, she certainly is ;-)
	3:30pm Mr. Oxford: Hello egould, Feldy, DJ Babs, Domenic and WM!
	3:30pm WM: I'm wondering if there is a trash style that is particular to women. (As opposed to the masculine trash of Mickey Spillane, etc.) Or is this a backwards and politically incorrect suggestion?
	3:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I should have just called today's show "Sheer Filth" and had done with it. Lol
	3:30pm DJ Babs: Hi PK! Hi Georgy! The vacation is going well! Happy to be able to catch up on my radio...and my workouts...headed to the beach tomorrow so very excited about that!
	3:31pm DJ Babs: Lol I couldn't miss this one! Joan Collins is the guiltiest of pleasures!!!
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:30 I mean ... they both are obsessed with money/power/sex etc. I don't know. I'd have to think about that :-)
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:30 Oooo! May I come to the beach with you, pretty please? :-)
	3:31pm DJ Babs: *Jackie Collins I mean! lol
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:31 I never miss an opportunity to feature Joan ;-)
	3:32pm DJ Babs: Everyone shall be coming with us to the beach tomorrow!!! ;-)
	3:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:32 <3 <3 <3
	3:33pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ Babs @3:32 yay!
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's an incredible French and Saunders parody of Jackie and Joan called "Lucky Bitches"> My friend Rick and I used to quote it constantly ;-)
	3:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Cocky (A)" by "Daryl Runswick" Rather apt title. LOL
	3:35pm egould: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:34 There's an incredible French and Saunders parody of.... is all that needs to be said.
	3:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:35 LOL! This is true ;-)
	3:36pm DJ Babs: ooh I bet it's on youtube I have to find that!!!
	3:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:36 It's absolutely 1000% worth it :-)
	3:37pm Feldy: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:29 Thanks, Paper Kosmonaut! Just the pick-me-up I needed friend!
	3:37pm WM: The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe was made into a 1959 movie starring Joan Crawford. The line featured on the movie poster read "Here's to men! Bless their clean cut faces and dirty little minds!"
	3:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:37 Now THAT is a fabulous tagline!!
	3:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: A quick note about forthcoming shows: this Friday's Flange is Cat Stevens' birthday, and then next Wednesday's Modernisits is 80s trash with Judith Krantz and "I'll Take Manhattan" :-)
	3:42pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:40 "I'll Take Manhattan" - all of them?
	3:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:42 It's a conceit of the main character's father ;-)
	3:43pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:40 Will "Here Comes My Baby" be played on Friday? Now that you mentioned Cat Stevens, I am remembering that song which in turn reminds me a of a girl whom I once liked when I was 23, and she once sang the chorus of that song to me to cheer me up. Sorry for going down the memory lane hahaha.
	3:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:43 I do believe it is :-)
	3:44pm DJ Babs: loving the musical selections as well!
	3:44pm Paper Kosmonaut: this Jackie Collins story is quite saucy and egocentric but.. it lacks coke.
	3:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:43 Memory Lane is good! <3
	3:44pm Feldy: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:44 LOL! @PK
	3:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:44 Thank you!! One of my fave sections of the library ;-)
	3:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:44 Ah now - the novel is set in the 60s. That explains the lack of coke :-)
	3:45pm WM: The trash movie/novel that most fascinates me is A Summer Place (1959) starring Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue. It was made just before the outbreak of the Sexual Revolution (just before the introduction of the Birth Control Pill). The conundrum for writers/directors of the time was how to squeeze in as much sex as possible without actually showing or acknowledging people "doing it."
	3:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:45 Ah yes!! I shall add that to my list :-)
	3:47pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:45 That indeed explains it.
	3:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:47 The discotheque in the novel is vastly groovier ;-)
	3:49pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:44 I find this especially funny because all this time while listening to these Jackie Collins excerpts I am imagining a particular character in the Paul Thomas Anderson movie Boogie Nights who routinely commits adultery. That movie also has disco, sex....and coke.
	3:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:49 I love that movie :-)
	3:49pm egould: 'Love Story'. Cheesy melodrama.
	3:50pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:49 Me too. It's a masterpiece.
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:49 Of course!!! How could I forget that one!!! Excellent suggestion :-)
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:50 Never has Sister Christian been used in that perfect a way :-)
	3:52pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:50 Ohhhh so true!! I forgot about that. And "Jessie's Girl" too in the same scene. That is such a great scene in the movie.
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I got ahead of myself with the playlist there ;-)
	3:52pm egould: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:50 Sister Christian reminds me of Lois W back in 8th Grade. She loved that song. I loved her.... Sorry to be going down Memory Lane. ;-)
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:52 It's one of my fave movie soundtracks :-)
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:52 No apologies needed for memories! That's the beauty of music :-)
	3:53pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ egould @3:52 That's sweet. To quote DJ GG from earlier in the chat, "Memory Lane is good"!
	3:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Music works much better for me than keeping diaries - I can pinpoint exact moments in my life with specific tracks :-)
	3:54pm Mr Fab: Hey GG! Missed most of this trip into forbidden housewife literature thanks to a durn work meeting, but boogie-ing along now.
	3:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:53 Exactly :-)
	3:54pm Stanley: Great soundtrack to this old bunkum!
	3:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:54 Hello, dear Mr Fab!! This would have been far too distracting in a meeting! ;-)
	3:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:54 Thank you, lovely :-) <3
	3:55pm WM: I thought Boogie Nights was a pretty good movie, but it veered into off the subject plots and didn't really address the question - why exactly did porn become so pervasive starting in the early 1970s?
	3:55pm egould: Thank you DJGG. Fun way to waste an hour.
	3:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:55 Sexual revolution ... Joy of Sex ... porn suddenly became "chic". It's a good question!! :-)
	3:56pm DJ Babs: Agreed! The perfect soundtrack to my enchilada preparations ! Thank you Georgy!!!!
	3:56pm Mr. Oxford: Thank you DJ GG for a very fun show!
	3:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ egould @3:55 I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And I'm happy that it invoked memories for you :-)
	3:56pm Paper Kosmonaut: Good choice of fragments, solid backing tracks. Loved it. Thanks GG!
	3:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ DJ Babs @3:56 Thank you, my lovely one! Have ENORMOUS fun at the beach tomorrow :-) <3
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:56 Thank you, my lovely! <3
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Paper Kosmonaut @3:56 Thank you, dear PK! :-) x
	3:57pm WM: Must have been a case of return of the repressed.
	3:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: ↳ WM @3:55 Read this, it explains it all a little better: en.wikipedia.org...
	3:58pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ WM @3:55 That's a good point. I look at the movie as more of a period piece that shows the journey that all these characters have while navigating different decades.
	3:58pm WM: Thanks for the suggestion.
	3:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And that's our sleaze for the week ;-)
	4:00pm Feldy: Spicy story! Thanks Georgy!!
	4:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Feldy @4:00 Thank you, lovely Adam! <3
	4:00pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ Babs @3:56 Happy Enchilada!
	4:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: See you all at the Flange on Friday for Cat Stevens! :-) xx
