David Bowie – Little Wonder EART HL I NG (1997) Video of the Day www.davidbowienews.com/2014/02/litt...

Coming out of lockdown in 2021, I discovered Schitt’s Creek. My marriage then broke up (he was cheating), the next year my dad died from cancer, the next year lost my mum. Moira and her family/friends gave me the laughter I desperately needed. Loved her character and wigs!! RIP Catherine O’Hara.

Ooooh fancy!
