rest in peace alaina reed-amini

sesame street's olivia and 227's rose lee holloway, alaina reed-amini, died december 17 after a two-year battle with breast cancer. previously known as alaina reed hall, her roles, besides a 12-year run on sesame street from 1976 to 1988 and five years on the '80s hit 227, include stage roles in chicago and hair, movie appearances in cruel intentions and (gulp) death becomes her and guest-starring roles on shows such as nypd blue and ally mcbeal. 

as she's not an active character, i doubt sesame street will address her death, as they did when the actor playing mr. hooper died and somebody had to explain it to big bird. now if someone could just explain it to me. also explain to me why it took the news until today to cover it. sorry she's not brittany murphy or somebody else skinny and young and uh, you know the rest. no funeral or memorial service will be held, but a celebration of her life is being planned for 2010. i'm sure big bird will be there.

here is alaina in fine form on sesame street.

that touch of

one of these things is not like the other.  one of these things is not the same.  which is a song from sesame street.  which when there are two things that are different both things are not like the other.  both things are not the same.  so there is nothing to figure out.  which is why sesame street had four things with three of the four things the same in some aspect, not necessarily all aspects but in at least one aspect, and then the fourth thing was different in the aspect the others were the same.  which while they didn't officially call the different one the fourth thing, that's something my head filled in the blank of because different means last place to me mostly which is not true except when it is but last place is first place if you turn around and start a new race.  so there is nothing to figure out with the two movies below.  even if i were to ask which poster peta would most likely throw red paint on, the answer would be clear.  after all, forget the minkness, doris day spraypainted her poodles. proof after the jump.

p.s. with the pictures lined up like this, doesn't it look like cary grant is looking right through doris at the twink of his dreams?  too bad cary would set one foot on that tired, blue green carpeted, baseboarded suburban porn set and out of style offense run as far as his lambskin loafers and silver cufflinks would take him, regardless of if the twink were in reach.  or at least probably that's what would happen.
