BARBARA STREISAND AND LEADING DEMOCRATS ON OBAMA SIGNING TAX CUTS BILL
“Well, I think it’s unfair but necessary,” Barbara Sreisand said when asked by Larry King about President Obama signing the tax cut deal (a la mode) as per, a Bush President of the past.
Some on the Hollywood left, said “that’s it. I’m through.” People worry that Obama’s devout entertainment supporters will keep their wallets closed as clearly the President is surrounded by sharks. Others say, give the political scene time and Obama will be able to lead as he’s promised his supporters. Patience is urged.
Streisand to King spent her TV time persuading in a supportive vein of the relatively new President, chatting from history’s notebook pages, reminding King’s audience how both George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan showed that “people admire real strength, even though it is misguided.” Forever a believer, Streisand seemed to applaud Obama’s “open heart” and intelligence, rightly noting why more people had not recognized this man’s tremendous accomplishments to date. Her support for him remains strong.
Mike Medavoy seems done unless Republicans back off. A big financial supporter of Obama, Medovy says: “Nobody wants to be held hostage, and no country should have to pay for hostage takers. While I believe in compromise, I don’t believe in compromise with people who put a gun to your head.”
A good point because seeing Obama with so little movement in the House post midterms doesn’t make for good TV either. I mean, this is not a Western, in reverse. Isn’t the leading man supposed to call the shots. Even in the most loved Westerns of old in Texas, yep, by Hollywood accounts of Western genres ‘rules’ of Texan culture, he is.

THE LAW OF FASHION BY BARBARA STREISAND
A wise lady in Beverly Hills told me yesterday that fashion should follow the trends of what people want. There are very few hour glass figures these days, and women in particular have always wanted comfort over restriction. I loved her words. They listen to the needs of the masses.
Today, Wednesday, October 7th 2009, Barbara Streisand echos these words, confirming that comfort is everything to a fashionable choice. Here’s what she said:
“I always wear the same thing at home. I cant be bothered with jewelry. My pants have elastic waists. I like to be comfortable. There are so many more important things to worry about.”–Barbara Streisand, Parade Magazine.
If fashion designers dialogue with the bodies of the people they seek to dress, won’t they be successful in fashion sales? Yes, couture for the woman who wants comfort and style, is the path forward for fashion as Barbara Streisand shows today.

ART CAN BE GOOD BARBARA STREISAND POP ART
Not bad. Barbara Streisand is a bit of a local legend in L.A gift stores. This artwork of Babs was snapped tonight in Hollywood. The large painting is on sale at 40% off. That’s just wrong! Look how cute Streisand is in this pic. What a bargain.
For a second, I thought it was Jennifer Aniston. How could I mistake a good Jewish nose, for a good Greek one, like that! Both Helen Guzwell of New Zealand and Emma Norgate (a Jewess) from primary school at Onerahi, would have mollywhooped me upside the head, right proper for that faux pas.
I better go back for a return visit to the Beth Jacob Congregation –the most friendliest and warmest and embracing synagogue in southern-most, East Beverly Hills, to brush up on my Jewish-friendly orientation etiquette, asap–because stuffing up on one’s American pop art, like that–is a sin in this fine patriotic and diverse country.
I repeat, a sin! :)
Needless to say, that when some citizens of West Hollywood are worried about their equal slice of wedding cake in these fickle times, that clearly Rhino moving trucks are not. They’re booming if centre-piece paintings like this are going up on sale. Just saying!
