Ah, Christmas. A time of eating twice one's weight in food you would never, under normal circumstances, consume; only to realize there are at least three days of leftovers in your refrigerator that also must be eaten at some point! If your holiday was anything like mine, you're not going to be able get off your couch (let alone fit through the door) for any arts-going except the world premiere of She Made Them Do It on Lifetime.
Alright kids. The divas of Christmas Past and Christmas Present have made their visits. This week, I was planning on bringing you the Diva of Christmas Yet to Come, however according to the Mayans (and R.E.M.), there are no more Christmases yet to come. Therefore, in lieu of such a post, I'm going to give you #OnTheTown: It's the end of the world as we know it.
You may recall that last week, I gave you Liza Minnelli, my diva of Christmas past. This week, continuing on our Ebony Scrooge journey, I present to you my diva of Christmas present: Darwin, the Rhesus Macaque in the shearling coat. This little bugger got lost among the Bestå and the Pysslingar in a Toronto IKEA (his owners should have dropped him off in Småland). Already armed with his own twitter account, Darwin now lives at an animal rescue and has been permanently separated from his signature outerwear. In honor of Darwin's brave and epic adventure, I present to you #OnTheTown: The one with Darwin the Rhesus Macaque and his shearling coat!
Graham Wright, host and founder of Opus Affair (a monthly arts salon), joins us to share his recommendations for various incarnations of some beloved holiday performances.
Are you beginning to feel Christmas-y yet? Whyever not? Liza certainly is (she seems to be feeling all sorts of things in the video above, but that's another story). Continuing the series begun last week of the divas of Christmas past, present, and future, I present to you #OnTheTown: Holidays the Liza way.
