Released on this day 33 years ago (13 May 1991): “Kiss Them for Me” by life-changing veteran British punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees. Musically, the bewitching first single from the Banshees’ Superstition record (their tenth studio album, issued on 10 June 1991) is a danceable jasmine-scented swirl of psychedelic exotica with a pronounced Asian influence (Talvin Singh plays tablas on it), while the lyrics offer a twisted valentine to Hollywood’s ill-fated sex kitten-gone-berserk Jayne Mansfield. (The title references Mansfield’s 1957 film Kiss Them for Me). “It's divoon / Oh, it's serene / In the fountains pink champagne / Someone carving their devotion / In the heart-shaped pool of fame” Siouxsie coos, sketching-out Mansfield’s commitment to glamour and publicity at her legendary Pink Palace and culminating in her 1967 death in a car crash (“On the road to New Orleans / A spray of stars hit the screen / As the tenth impact shimmered / The forbidden candles beamed …”). “Kiss Them for Me” scored the Banshees their biggest US chart hit (around this time they joined the first Lollapalooza tour, which significantly boosted their profile stateside). The stylish art-y video - seemingly inspired by the cinema of Kenneth Anger and Jean Cocteau - featured a pink poodle, popping champagne corks, palm trees, golden cherubs, the male band members sporting menacing leather biker gear (very Scorpio Rising) and Siouxsie frolicking in a fountain. It justifiably received heavy rotation on MTV (and on MuchMusic in Canada, which is where I would have seen it). Now sing along with me! “No party she'd not attend / No invitation she wouldn't send …”

“It was a successful holiday. The kids had a good time and there were lots of presents. Zoltan got special treatment of course, as well as a robot, a bat, baseballs, a kickstand for his bike and plenty of other things. Jayne was happy to have Zoltan home and happy to have been on the front page for three weeks. She wasn’t callous about Zoltan’s injury. She was terribly upset, but it was natural for her to think of telling the press. She was accustomed to reading about herself and she knew the public would be interested. The news was made, and Jayne wasn’t going to suppress it. She had worked for years to become news and her reward was having the press cooperate with her. There were pictures of Jayne and Zoltan, Jayne, Sam and Jayne, Mickey and Jayne and Zoltan, Jayne and Zoltan on the front pages of newspapers all across the country. Jayne’s grief was transcontinental.”

/ From Jayne Mansfield and the American Fifties by Martha Saxton (1975) /

Pictured: Christmas day 1966 at the Pink Palace, Jayne Mansfield’s final Christmas. (Her fatal car crash was in June 1967). On 27 November 1966 Mansfield and her children were visiting Jungleland USA, a zoo and theme park in the San Fernando Valley, when in a freak accident her six-year-old son Zoltan was severely mauled by a lion. After surgery and weeks of recuperation, Zoltan was allowed home on Christmas morning to be greeted by a twenty-foot tree, a towering mound of gifts and – and perhaps inevitably – a houseful of photographers and journalists. As Mansfield’s most recent biographer Eve Golden recalls in The Girl Couldn’t Help It (2021), “A reporter asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, and Zoltan – his mother’s son when it came to a good quip – told him, “A lion tamer.””

“The Mesa Bungalows is an exquisite one-of-a-kind luxury retreat nestled at the base of the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains. Formerly owned by filmmaker/screenwriter Josh Evans, the son of Hollywood icons Ali MacGraw and Robert Evans and stepson of Steve McQueen, this fabulous Spanish-style gated estate is located in the sought-after celebrity enclave of The Mesa in South Palm Springs. Extensively renovated by its present owners, Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button and interior designer Brittny Button, the property's unique style of vibrant pinks and palm leaf green decor was inspired by the glamorous Beverly Hills Hotel and Jayne Mansfield's legendary Pink Palace.” 2/3

I don't really know anything about Englebert Humperdinck, but it's so cool that he recorded "Lesbian Seagull" for the Beavis and Butthead movie. What a sport. I think he was also the final owner of Jayne Mansfield's Pink Palace.

Maybe I'll revisit my attempt at recreating Jayne Mansfield's pink palace in The Sims. I was really struggling with roofing at the time and it ended up being such a mammoth build that I only completed the ground floor before I gave up.

Genuine question, where do you even buy furniture/decor these days, that isn't IKEA or a secondhand shop/website? Also where do you buy the cool colorful stuff kids used to have in their rooms? I don't think kids decor companies really exist like they did in the 90s/2000s. And also bedsheets. I'm constantly on the hunt for bedsheets that aren't gray or blue or beige or white, and that don't have an ugly pattern on them (to be fair I think my issue with finding bedsheets is probably because I'm picky about the materials, I like percale sheets best and I hate flannel microfiber and jersey. Maybe percale is just hard to find idk).

I want tacky/glam/psychedelic lighting - a pendant type or mobile type lamp to hang in the corner of my bedroom. I want a fuzzy chair! I want wall shelves that aren't boring (although I've considered buying boring ones and painting them).

Everything is just so ugly and minimalist and "grown up" and uniform looking these days and im so sick of it! I want my bedroom to look sort of like a 2002 Delia's catalogue and sort of like a 1979 cocaine den and sort of like a 2007 emo princess bedroom and sort of like Jayne Mansfields pink palace. Does anybody even understand???? I have a vision that is so incompatible with our reality 😮‍💨
