Hot Slut Of The Day!
Rosie from Really Rosie! Yesterday, the world’s heart became where the sad things are when Maurice Sendak went up to heaven, and his passing reminded me of Really Rosie, the musical TV special he made with Carole King. Maurice based Really Rosie on several of his books and asked Carole King to do the music and the voice of Rosie. Really Rosie came out in 1975, but I watched it when I was a kid and watched it and watched it and watched it.
Really Rosie was about this girl Rosie who imagines herself as a huge star and produces a movie musical based on her life story using her neighborhood friends in Brooklyn as her co-stars and shit. Rosie kind of reminds of young Bette Midler (as played by Dr. Blossom) in Beaches. If you haven’t seen it, I won’t give anymore away. You can watch part 2 here and part 1 one is below. I really need Suri Cruise to remake The Ballad of Chicken Soup. Put a bowl on your head, curl up into a lion’s mouth and enjoy!
We all knew a Really Rosie when we were kids. Or some of your asses probably were Really Rosie. My Really Rosie was my first grade friend who always had to be the star during make-believe playtime. Example: He was ALWAYS She-Ra when we played She-Ra and he crowned himself the director, casting director, costume designer and everything else. I don’t know how he became the HBIC of make believe playtime, but nobody really argued with him either. He usually cast me as Kowl the owl. A fucking owl! Sometimes he’d cast me as Catra if he was feeling charitable. One time, I did tell him that he wasn’t blond enough to play She-Ra. A couple of days later, he came to school wearing a yellow sweatshirt. At recess, he put that yellow sweatshirt over his head and twirled it around like it was his real golden hair. He was a genius. Bitch slapped me down without saying a word and he did it with a yellow sweatshirt!
