Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 11, 2010

No, it’s not hard at all.

I can see how it could become a problem.

Blinded by the light

Stargazing should be reserved for check-out lines

Startling.

He looks like he’s been hit on the head a few times.

Agnes, send him a post card from Phoenix, maybe then he will realize you are gone.

A new swashbuckling poster from StelBel!!

Who says King Arfur was a legend, anyway?

And we know the rain only falls at night in Basselot. Wish we could do that here.

Apparently, Agnes no longer considered him a stellar catch.

Stel and Nighthawks keep upping the ante.

We know our every day won’t be complete.

Until we can make comments about Sherpa.

On Ballard Street.

On Ballard Street.

The stuffmthat tall tails are made of.

And the stuff that narcissism is made of.

UNICORN!!!

Hello all…..

It’s a lovely day, or I’m sure it will be, depending on your time zone, for a beautiful, brand new poster from StelBel!

in the June 11th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY,” on Sherpa.

It is, as you can see, that extravagant fantasy, of castles and knights, full of music… and forbidden love… in days of yore….

BASSELOT!

I start humming when I think of it!

With the beautiful, somewhat ethereal (for a basset hound) Pawnessa Redgrrrave … I never can remember how many rr’s in that…

having to choose between her ever-steady royal mate, played by that handsome hound, Dickie Hairies….

And her illicit love for the dashing French knight, played by the equally handsome, Italian basset, Franco Fur-o.

(An aside… Fur-o’s songs, we now know, were actually howled by a similarly Italian-named basset… but one born in the US, Gino Furry-no… who could howl more passably in French.

And just for Montana Lady, who likes these tidbits…

You can still hear him, as one of the voices howling the theme song for “Bassegan’s Island”.)

The film was a mixed success…. at first panned by the doggy critics…. and rather a failure in theaters…

it nonetheless won THREE Golden Biscuits… for the score, the art direction, and the glorious costumes.

The humans did copy the film, of course…

but their English-language poster was different…

Tigressy has already posted it… along with the Belgian one, in French…

They were apparently the only ones to steal Stel’s poster design.

Had to go to the UK to find it, but as promised….

The ad before it is longer, but I found it.

GOOD MORNING BALLARDEERS! 90 days into this crap with only a glimmer. (sigh) aaaaannnnnnd the news just reported an increase.

Decent weather to get outside today.

Anyhoover… Y’all take care of each other (((((HUGS)))))

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan!

WOW! Stel, you have magnificently outdone yourself! You got all the magic and pageantry of this story, and it comes to life brilliantly. I can hear everyone humming. (sigh)

Susan, I didn’t know about Fur-O howling the theme for Bassegan’s Island. I’ll have to do a search for it and listen. (You know me well. I thrive on movie trivia)

Very well done poster!! Love the purplie lipstick to match the purplie eyeshadow. Love ‘caninecolor’ and ‘houndavision’.

AHEEE!

My guess is you put more effort into this than it appears at first glance, mounted knights, etc. Kudos again, StelBel!!!
