R.I.P. Eartha Kitt

FUCK! Not today! This really did ruin my Christmas. Eartha Kitt, legend and icon, passed away today in NYC at the age of 81. On Christmas Day! She was seriously the best Catwoman ever.

Her publicist told CNN that Eartha was receiving treatment for colon cancer at hospital in New York. Her daughter, Kitt Shapiro, was by her side at the time of her death.

Eartha is survived by her daughter and four grandchildren.

Rest in peace, Eartha... You will always be perfect! And since it's Christmas, here's Eartha singing my favorite Christmas song. Eartha sang the original and nobody will ever be able to top her. I got the sads in a major way now.

Aw, "the sads". I've been calling them the "boo hoo sads" or the "boos" for a while. MK and I think alike, almost... Aw.

6 decades in the business, done with such style and grace. She will truly be missed. RIP Lady Eartha Kitt

AHAHAHAHA....
I had a friend who constantly quoted the movie and I finally watched, high of course and pissed myself.

"Going gray is like ejaculating. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it's a total shock." MAH BOO!!!

R.I.P. Eartha Kitt. Where I am, there's a station that plays nothing but Christmas songs during December, and Eartha's "Santa Baby" was my favorite. I always smiled whenever I heard that, stuck in rush hour traffic.

What makes her different from today's celebrity trash? She had substance and style and an authentic glamour that wasn't manufactured by the likes of chupacabras. She was soft and naturally pretty with enough sass to make her fascinating. Something that's sorely missing from entertainers today. The angels up north are lucky--two hot women (Eartha and Bettie) in one month.

I preferred Julie Newmar's Catwoman, but Eartha was a badass in everything else....

I esp loved "Maaaaaaarcusss Dahhhhhhling" (Lady Eloise in "Boomerang")

- "I'm not wearing any panties..."

Eartha was AWESOME as in kick-your-ass awesome, we'll miss her, very much so.

So fucking unfair! How, HOW can this happen while the fucking cast of the MTV's rich-white-kids-with-non-problems are still alive?

I Love!! Love!!! Lover her! She is hysterical in Batman... She was a bad pussy... Batman had such a sexually charged script that I just recently realized... This kitty wants to play with his balls.. come on!!!

Eartha used to purr just like a damn cat too! Loved that

Batman (the original) had more sexual innuendo than most people realized. Remember Joan Collins playing The Siren?

Kinky Catwoman (E. Kitt) binds and gags Batgirl. Another Dlister pointed out that kids (hopefully) missed the subtext to such stuff, but their parents probably didn't.

Speaking of cats, I can't resist- my family is decidedly cat crazy. My sister has one (Ollie), my parents have two(Maggie and Bill), my fiance and I have two(Mowgli

Now THERE you go! Mowgli is a LOVELY cat name! Can Pete and Ash trade their baby in for a cat, I wonder....?

Hi, Eartha - I've been thinking about you lots. I really glad I have someone like you to think about:)

Sugarroo You are sadly mistaken but if you would like to believe that then that is your issue. I am me and that is all. I do not understand why you are so accusing.

Well I was just asking myself that same question. I have a friend who used to post here and she was always emailing me telling me to come here. She said it was hilarious and that some very funny intelligent people posted here. I was like okay why not, I will try it. So here I am but the maturity here is quite lacking.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So the clear solution is you leave and take your little alt Moist for Poo with you. While at it, take KatieScarlett. In case you're too busy controlling all of your usernames, the rest of us know you are all the same person. Wasn't hard, honey.

I am saddened by this news.

When I was a kid, Eartha sang a song on Merv Griffin called "Monotonous" and I was so intrigued. From that moment on I knew what that word meant and every time I hear it or use it, I think of Eartha Kitt. It's always felt special for some reason. RIP.

She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site """" W e a l t h y D a t e r . c o m"""""" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now? ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

She looked amazing for a 30 year old at 81.:(

Purrrrrrfect. I'll miss Eartha. Who else would have had the guts to put cross dressers in their videos in the 50's. Eartha was hot, well into her later years. And she had a good voice too.

OMG! I used to watch Monkees reruns every morning at 5 a.m. on KTLA when I was growing up. My god that's a great show! And I loved, loved, loved Peter Tork!

I saw them in concert a few years back and they still rock my socks... glad I'm not the only one!

HAHAHA! The Monkees started in 1965 and ran thru 1968 and they kept putting out music until 1971. They had a revival of sorts in the 80's so you must be talking about that era...I could not figure it out. Had to Wiki!

Thanks heavens for Google and Wiki!

My sister was born in 1983, I was born in 1986- is that about right? My sister was always loved everything Monkees- but she loved Mike, and her best friend fell for Peter. She and her buddy "discovered" them in high school... lol.

YO KATIE, OVER HERE!!! Go get the body parts (Stella will be upset but what she doesn't know won't hurt her) I'll get the Sudoku knife. I wish Boo were here, she could have rebuilt the shrine in 5 minutes with toilet paper and empty cans of PBR.

Actually, this post has been talking about people on here that are have with cats, to some extent, so maybe that's what you mean?

Speaking of cats, I can't resist- my family is decidedly cat crazy. My sister has one (Ollie), my parents have two(Maggie and Bill), my fiance and I have two(Mowgli and Gaia), and his mother has two(Teddy and Paws). ..... I am going really off topic. Sorry, sorry....

Catlover- your cat looks like my sisters cat (or your avatar does, anyway).

Deb-
The Monkees- my sister became obsessed with them in high school, and since she's my older sister, I became obsessed with them, too. I guess it's because my parent's loved the Beatles, and everything 60's 70's. I grew up thinking that the Beatles were current, until I went to 1st grade, and my friends had no clue what I was talking about. lol.

I am not new here and I am not feeling the warmth. Actually I am not new at all.. I was one of the FIRST posters her.. I was an old poster but most of my old friends have moved on to greener pasteurs except a select few. MK is an old friend of mine and some have stayed here all along but I don't think they like me anymore... I was hoping I could make sure new friends all the way. I am a nice person, not a dolt or an ijit and just like to make people laugh. I was hoping to run into some old friends and I have and met a lot of nice new friends on the way,, but I sense a dark presence.. ( I have ESP )
I hope to have a Satanic ritual soon to shake myself of it all...I need some black cats and some
nake nubile females who are kind of slutty..'
We need to make this place clean again...

Its been very interesting tonight but time to go to bed!! Goodnight Everyone.

It is so exhaustive Catlover, it's like a full time job. Actually no, you have to go home after work, I never leave the house, so it's more like a mission. A mission from God.

JOE!

Glad to see you. Hope your holiday season has been joyous!

I was glued to the Tube during the Batman episodes. They were the greatest. Seems like the Monkees were on during that period too!

Good times, Good times...

Hi thlayly5. I have seen some of the old Batman shows and think they are great. Actually I think it was on TV not too long ago.

I just keep getting people banned that interfere with my life purpose, this is how I fit in.

Hey Debf.,
hope Christmas (or if Christmas isn't your bag, then happy chunnukah, or plain day) was excellent.

I go in and out of posting on this site, but I always am reading it- sometimes I think I have nothing intelligent to say, or nothing to add, so I just read the original MK post and read the comments...

Anyhow, sorry for getting off topic everyone.

Um, I want to buy a season of old school batman now- I never knew how truly awesomely campy it was.

Katie Scarlet if that gets you into the in crowd then this place is much worse off than I thought.

thlayly5's picture

Whoever said earlier that Julie Newmar had a crazy physique was right. Holy crud.

I think it's pretty neat that Eartha Kitt took a stand- it fits with the whole strong image she seems to project. I dunno, from what I've read, I guess.
