Ite sul colle, o parterriani
La Cieca (pictured) can hardly muster a messa di voce after the overwhelming torrent of entries in the “You Can Ring My Bel Canto” competition, but after hours of careful consideration and hobnobbing with my fellow doyennes, I have finally come do a decision as to who should be considered a prima inter pares.
Best in show, and winner of the tickets to the July 16 Caramoor performance of Norma, is CerquettiFarrell for her three-pronged, four-diva analysis supported by well-selected clips.
Runners-up (and it should be remembered that this group placed only marginally ahead of more than a dozen superb entries) are the following:
Congratulations to all!
La Cieca, I never noticed your resemblance to Mrs. Steven Haynes before but now that you mention it….
I remain in awe of her ability to catch a bouquet with her chin.
It is an honour to be a runner-up to the formidable CerquettiFarrell, from whose writings I have learned a great deal.
Now, can we please have a photo of La Cieca hobnobbing with her fellow doyennes?
As requested.

Honey, the hair and neckless are to die for!!What, pray tell, is that on your chin? It looks like…heaven no it could NOT be THAT.
A TOOTHPICK?
Actually, it looks to be some kind of smudge on the photo.
kashina, I’m going to let my mind run wild!
cerquetti’s a dame? Well, I neva!
In a manner of speaking.
I’m the one on the right. Which of you is in the middle?

Who will ‘fess up to those eyebrows?
I taped The Women yet again and will watch it… yet again.
On the other hand, I saw Twilight: Eclipse yesterday (free movie Tuesday) and thought it was pretty nauseating, since it’s basically about a bug chaser (Bella) and a gift giver (Edward)
Cieca, did you know that you resemble Norma Shearer?
Clita, did you know we’ve already done the Norma Shearer thing? Mrs. Steven Haynes was the character she played in The Women.
That’s La Cieca entering from right, with the feathered thingy on her head.
In that version I want to be Ann Miller
Except at this point I’m more like Mr. Steven Haynes, Leslie Nielsen
What a b***h riot! What gowns! What slenderizing via the aspect ratio being off!
Sanford, thank you so much–I’ve seen The Women many times. You are too kind to clue me in. I didn’t read all the posts. So very sorry.
Miss Myra Hudson
I’m too kind? Which two?
