HOW I IMAGINE: the Kennedys


While I rot in Detroit for another day, I decided to finally write something I've been putting off for ages. you know how the History Channel had to pull the Kennedys' series because the family had an actual qualm about it? despite the fact the series had some really good actors in it (Katie Holmes is give or take here) and they put a lot of money into production?

WELL we may never know what the History Channel had in mind for America's version of the royal family, but I'd like to think I could imagine a few worthy scenes from the series.

also, I did know research. what I wrote about is what I know about. ENJOY

SCENE 1

JFK: ASK NOT WHAT YOUR CUNT-TRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR .... CUNTRY.

JACKIE: (privately, to herself) He really seemed to drag out the 'cunt' in that, didn't he? hmm.

JFK (later, while they are still outside, arm-in-arm): I didn't say the first syllable too long, did I, Jackie dear?

JACKIE (stares at him and then blinks): Oh god no.

JFK: Good good good. I feel like I'll be doing this some time again in the future.

JACKIE: Sure! (KATIE HOLMES SMILE)

JFK: I think I might be the next FDR! Or Grover Cleveland! Wasn't he president forever?

JACKIE: Sure!

It is to be said, that during this scene, Katie Holmes/Jackie would be wearing vintage Chanel. powder blue. we'd really have to emphasize the fashion of the Mrs. Kennedy. We want an Emmy for our efforts, after all.

CAROLINE: Mommy, Daddy, I want to go home. I don't like people.

JACKIE: Caroline please do shut up. You stay in public for as long as it takes Neil Diamond to write that creepy song about you and then you can disappear.

SCENE TWO:

Kennedy family compound in New England
think like Ireland, but richer and preppier.

RANDOM MALE RELATIVE 1, DRINKING: So which one of us is going to die next?

RANDOM MALE RELATIVE 2, ALSO DRINKING: Do you want to bet on this again?

RANDOM MALE RELATIVE 1: Christmas comes early! You know! What do you say?

RELATIVE 2: You Jew! *hearty laugh*

SFX: bang on door

FEMALE RELATIVE

seriously I don't know the names of these people THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM

FEMALE RELATIVE: I'm going to go get that! Heeeheheeehehehehe!

She runs to the door, think of the female characters in John Cheever stories or bitches on Mad Men. Door opens, reveals wide-eyed Barbara Hershey.

BARBARA HERSHEY: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SWEET GIRL

MALE RELATIVE 2: Who's the boner-killing bitch?

(She's gone!)


SCENE 3

JFK: I think I want to put a man on the moon. I mean, my god, the moon.

ADVISOR: What about the moon, sir?

JFK: Well, you see. (he leans in close with a most serious expression on his face)

It's big and made of cheese.

ADVISOR: And it controls women's menstrual cycles?

JFK: That's right! Powerful stuff, really! And after the bay of pigs....

flash to literally a bay of pigs

PIGS: oinkoinkoinkoink....

JFK (slams fist): God that's what we'll do! And then the Ruskies won't know what to do!

ADVISOR: THEY WILL OBVIOUSLY WANT TO BLOW THE MOON UP THEY'RE RUSSIANS.


to be continued


p.s. DISCLAIMER
I am making this all up it's stupid on purpose etc

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
