Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 17, 2007

Wow, that’s like heavy, man!

Far out dude!

If that ain’t the bee’s knees.

By Gad!

I say! What’s all this then.

Danged if that don’t beat all.

Of course all of the above refer to today’s Cleo & Company.

My favorite part was Buster Biscuits.

The poster is great.

The picture itself was (to borrow a phrase) a well-made, but wordy, blob of hokum.

(C.B. stole my Golden Biscuit that year and I’ll never get over it)

P.S. What Gloria Swanshound’s eyes lack in the creepiness of Gloria Swanson’s eyes in the, uh, “original” poster art, they more than make up for in purplie eyelidieness.

has a crisper (easier to read the credits, for me anyway; click it to make it humongous) human version poster.

has trivia about the human version.

has a few photos shot during its filming. I wonder if the Bassett and DeBassett families were/are related. <;-) Kudos again, StelBel!!

Wouldn’t miss a Gloria Swanshound movie!!! Cleo is sooo beautiful up in lights!

Good job, Stel! Love Cleo in this.

As always, I will say that I LOVE Cleo’s make up! It really makes her one glamorous star! Purplie sure is Cleo’s color.

(howl-ever, I will say that the human poster is CREEPY! )

Cleo is ready for her close-up!

Just for a change — well done not duplicating those creepy eyes, Stel!

Did you get that , Alex?
