Whatever Happened to Fay Wray?

This is the birthday anniversary of Fay Wray, the Canadian-born actress who became immortal as the Beauty of the Beast in the 1933 movie, King Kong. (The title for this post is part of a song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which Brittany and Kevin were fond of watching at the late-night movie theater while wearing each other's underwear, per "Monster.") Speaking of King Kong and Fay Wray, there was this priceless exchange over a history assignment in the fanfic, "Historical Inevitability," by Megaleus:
  • Brittany: Oh! Let's do a video! I'll be the beautiful heroine, and Kevin can rescue me from the King Kong.
  • Kevin: Sounds great, babe!
  • Daria: Um, Brittany, that's the Viet Cong.
  • Brittany: Oh—whatever.
I could go on, but... I won't.

STOP THE PRESSES! Oh, right, there aren't... forget it. Anyway:

THE DARIA SHRINE IS BACK! Yes, one of the Great Ones has returned! (UU just told me about this.) See these two updates: Tenth Anniversary, and A Look Back in Appreciation. Write to Robin and tell her THANK YOU! And then send her everyone one of your fanfics. All of them. And your fan art, too. And say THANK YOU again. THANK YOU, ROBIN!!!

Here are the guidelines for submissions (at the bottom of the page). GO AND DO!

it's also the birthday of William Howard Taft. He was the first President to get stuck in the White House bath tub.

I was a little worried about the alter ego, because Brittany's breasts are showing.

SEND ROBIN ALL YOUR STUFF RIGHT AWAY! HURRY! Maybe I should try that and send my fanfics out instead of the links, just in case....

Yeah - I think that I'll send a little package in that direction. Man - does that site bring back memories...
