Tikisoo Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I always loved this photo: But I think Doris thought it was cruel to dye the dogs, possibly spurring her to a life of helping animals in need. My hairdresser routinely dyes her St Bernard's fur...only cruel if you think bathing a dog is cruel. (note the areas around their eyes are left white) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noah80 Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Doris probably had a zillion dogs in the house so might not have been a good selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Rat Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 If you want to get in a Doris frame of mind before the book comes out, try listening to the albums Day by Day and Day by Night on YouTube. Doris is in great voice singing songs that are perfect for her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited it often and enjoyed the tour each time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibi Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Her house only had a small amount of bedrooms. Like 4 or 5. And was not a big mansion, so that probably was why they could not get the asking price. It does have a guest house though and a gatehouse.

I believe the woman who bought it was planning on tearing it down and building new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gorman Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I recall seeing clips of when Doris appeared on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson in 1974 and he (understandably) couldn't keep his eyes off her boobs. She was wearing a blue pantsuit with no bra and her upper frontals were >busting< out of her blouse. She (covered) them a little bit during the interview, but if you watch it 'they' didn't stay covered long. Doris looked quite fetching. Definitely not a 'sexless neuter' or 'eternal virgin'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noah80 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 A note about the word "virginity" in today's world. Doris probably didn't care much for the word anyway. (I think she was baffled by Oscar Levant's stupid comment "I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin") "Virginity is a patriarchal creation used to control and devalue women. The act of “sex” can mean entirely different things to each person, so “virginity” is just as subjective. Placing worth in something as intangible as the concept of virginity has acted as a vehicle of many current harmful ideologies and attitudes." "Societal standards, largely controlled by men’s desires, enforces the idea that women are only seen as desirable if they are “pure” and have had no sexual relations prior to a relationship. Virginity is not as important for men as it is for women because the concept of virginity is rooted in misogyny. It is used to control women’s sexuality and determine their value." "Virginity is just an idea, and ideas can change. It is sexist, wrongfully linked to purity, heteronormative and sustains the patriarchy. Reframing the idea of virginity will allow us to develop healthier and more inclusive views on sex and sexuality." https://www.ntdaily.com/we-need-to-destroy-the-concept-of-virginity/ Definition of heteronormative : of, relating to, or based on the attitude that heterosexuality is the only normal and natural expression of sexuality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noah80 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 from Doris Day Animal Foundation. Hopefully this will mean that the book will be out in April and not June 2022 (there might even be a braless photo for you) "We are excited to announce a new book: Doris Day - Images of a Hollywood Icon, scheduled to be released near Doris’ birthday. This beautiful book from the Doris Day Estate contains hundreds of rare and previously unpublished photographs from Doris’ personal collection, offering an intimate glimpse into her life. Included are family photos, behind-the-scenes images with famous friends and colleagues, and glamorous publicity portraits." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
