There is a little known Hollywood starlet named Maria Montez (1912 – 1951) who was Dominican-born and gained her fame and popularity during 1940s as an exotic Latin beauty. Maria starred in a series of high-budget Technicolor adventure films which involved lots and lots of costumes. She projected an image on screen of a hot-blooded Latin seductress. Maria was dressed in very fancy costumes and very sparkling jewels in all of her epic adventure movies.

Maria Montez became so identified with these epic adventure films that she became known as "The Queen of Technicolor." Over her career, Maria Montez appeared in a total of 26 films. Her very exotic beauty was the centerpiece of all her films. Maria also was a noted author and a published poet. Here's to the Queen of the Technicolor movies!

DATELINE: December 31, 2011 (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
LOCATION: Crappy's (a/k/a Crawpappy's) 3344 East 51st Street

The crappiest little dive bar in the state of Oklahoma got popped on New Year's Eve for serving alcohol to a minor! It was a well coordinated sting effort brought about by the Tulsa Police Department and the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission (ABLE). According to sources and word on the street, these agencies have been watching all the activities of this crappy dive joint for quite some time now. Undercover agent infiltrations! No telling what they've seen and recorded!

An examination of the Oklahoma ABLE website shows that no less than 3 citizen complaints have been filed against Crawpappy's during the year 2011 through Oklahoma ABLE's online complaint system. The website does not report the nature or the details of the complaints. Oklahoma has some very strict laws regarding the sale and consumption of alcohol and Crappy's (a/k/a Crawpappy's) is now facing some serious felony charges as well as the bartender who served alcohol to the minor.

Crappy Pappy is Facing Felony Charges
The alcohol laws of Oklahoma comprehensively limit and regulate the sale of alcohol in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's approach to alcohol is quite strict. Minors under the age of 21 are not permitted to possess or purchase alcohol. Under Oklahoma law, it is a FELONY to provide alcoholic beverages to the mentally deficient, the intoxicated and persons under 21 years of age.
Uh, It's the Law ....

A hangover, for those of you that get them, is the unpleasant effects of a night (or day) of drinking too many alcoholic beverages. If you are one of those people that get hangovers, you will feel a headache, maybe some nausea, you will be sensitive to noise and light, and you'll be somewhat lethargic while taking care of that nasty diarrhea and extreme thirst. But, you already knew that didn't you? So, party on, the hangover is inevitable; that is, if you get them. Thanks for visiting and please come back often!

Well, it's that time again. An old year has ended and new one is about to begin. But first, we must survive the annual New Year's Eve celebration on December 31st, the final day of any given year. Now, in modern and civilized societies such as ours, New Year's Eve is very often celebrated at large social gatherings during which the party participants eat, dance and consume very large amounts of adult alcoholic beverages while we watch, or even better, light potentially dangerous fireworks to mark the incoming new year. Have a safe and Happy New Year and thanks for visiting!

Have A Safe & Happy New Year! Cheers!
