Quando Quando

[ezywonder]

We are all living in our own Make Believe Ballroom.

[badabeam]

I'll have what she's having...

[BradJC70]

I need to have a drink in that lounge. Seriously, next time I'm in L.A., priority stop, come hell or high water. (It's the little things that make life wonderful)

[futuristfood]

[Kingfisher921]

"If that's all there is, if that's all there is. Let's break out the booze and have a ball ...with Marilyn and Royce of course." -Peggy Lee

Royce & Marilyn F A C E B O O K FANPAGE

[slim404]

She really lost it at the end ha ha. And shes scary as hell. Can u imagine waking up in the middle of the night with her standing over ur bed screaming "U KNOW NOTHING!" lol : )

[giannireb68]

I'd love it! I'd break open the cheap chardonay and we would trip the light fantastic! Quando Quando!!

[futuristfood]

@giannireb68 no cheap for royce! : )p

[lisa1gas]

this was fabulous....

until the end when she had to breakdown on me!

[MrSilenus79]

I understand and I want to be her pool boy

[Michaeldair]

I'm not sure which is better, this or Gray Gardens.

[giannireb68]

Grey Gardens. But this still is nectar of the gods.

[futuristfood]

@giannireb68 this is the chardonnay or "what ever the hell Royce is drinking" of the gods. : )

[waytooambitious]

I prefer "Kwando" with a "K" and "W"

[BradJC70]

'Without elegant music, I cannot live'... Amen.

[velochanteuse]

it can be quando with a "q". you don't know Italian...

[Madeincaracas]

wow its cuando with a c, these pple dont know spanish

[ragingflamerboy]

@Madeincaracas wow it's 'people' with an 'e' and an 'o' and other letters strategically placed to form a whole actual word! You don't know english apparently!

[giannireb68]

It's Italian dumbass. You know, one of the OTHER romance languages? You know NOTHING NOTHING!!!

[Rebbecca1983]

You HAVE to make more videos! This is an impeccable peek into a lost culture with mind boggling dynamics!

MORE! PLEASE!

[RAVERBASHER420]

this bitch is officialy BANANAS!!!!

[FEXURBISNYC]

"We drank Bombay gin with cognac chasers -- our driving laws weren't that strict. We went to the Cocoanut Grove when it was elegant -- when Freddy Martin was there and we wore our $10,000 dresses. We had the Chez Voltaire and the Beverly Rodeo, on Rodeo Drive, two blocks north of the Beverly Regent. It was wild but elegant, and known as Hooker's Row. All the men from New York went there, women came and went -- who cared? I was appalled, but Marilyn says I could have made a fortune there!"

[FEXURBISNYC]

I'm starting samba lessons this week. Mama needs a dance partner and she ain't gettin any younger. Hang on ol'gal ! I'm on my way !

[1208recovery]

All I could think of was how sad... the resentments and unhappiness and she is caught in the process of it. Ying and yang ..angel/devil if you can compare two sides of one coin... I feel for the quiet demure optimist... and incite into alcoholism. I want to see her as a dancer as she used to be

[giannireb68]

Ughh. How tedious an observation...Royce is exactly what she SHOULD be: Gorgeously garbed, clearly expressed and fiercely self-pos

essed; spewing her magnificent (if slurry) maledictions on a garbage-hole of a world that does not deserve someone like her. Brava Royce ! I, for one would never want to see her at some " Yoga for Seniors" class or " Twilight Years A.A. Meeting" God on a WHEEL !! Bottoms Fuckin Up, Ms. Royce! Some people will never get it. Screw 'em.

[pharaoh731]

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!

[poscrz]

A true gem she is.

[jonathonpp]

Royce and marilyn Facebook

[Julietjeske]

I feel sorry for them, it's a shame they don't have some family that could take them in. They are so fascinating and wonderful.

[renato113]

They have a family...YOU TUBE...!!!!

[jonathonpp]

Royce and Marilyn. Facebook fan page

[dizzycat911]

I will get a black hat & dress like her & always have a glass of wine in my hand!! Life will be good. I love Royce. Fabulous Darling!

[djmixnmagic]

Royce knows how to live it up....and you know nothing! You know nothing!

[blondegal1957]

Oh god, I feel that time creeping up on me...oh no.

[umphuphoo]

it's better than the alternative.

[Handiman544]

These people are caught at the end of their lives and they regret the passing of time. Everything thas was familiar to them has disappeared. Try it sometime and see what it does to you.

[markalanjacobson]

Muriel,,, you and Madge are going to end up JUST like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RandManMN]

I love it, I have two friends that are just like this and they are men!

[yakomuto]

Gay Flamboyant men>?

[yakomuto]

I want to Marry Royce... My god. Life will be so Fabulous.

[babeuf09]

[dougchew]

Royce I wanna be your BFF!

[Eltingej]

I can't believe I've lived this long without meeting ROYCE. Dahlin yer fabulous!

[peadinkle]

I remember reading the LA Weekly article in 1999. What a personality. Made me tear up.

[BradJC70]

An article about these 2 women???!!!

WHAT DID IT SAY? WHAT DID IT SAY???!!!!

[shimmerblitz]

Happy hour with Royce and Marilyn!

I wonder in what hotel they live, it would be a blast to meet them!

[onieroco]

this is the stillwell hotel in dowwntown LA

[shimmerblitz]

Thank you Onieroco!

[astanhope]

The sign in the bar says "Make Believe Ballroom"

[MadMadamJess]

I love them! Hopefully, I'll be half as kick ass when I get older. FABULOUS!!!

xoxoxox

luv,

jessie

[paul51]

I live in L.A. and I have seen this lady, walking downtown, or at other watering holes downtown, always dressed to kill, and with this hat!!!

[Annettebette]

What a story, what divas! Elegant and fabulous, but made me cry at the end, I want to know her story, more please!!!xxx

[paul51]

Annettebette, I love this . . . what a gal!!

[m1ckeyjoe]

maybe getting older won't be so bad after all. fabulous! ;-)

[brookepulver]

Who is this woman. And why can't I help this feeling that I need to meet her!!!!

[omaritau]

Oh! Without elegant music I cannot live, either! Royce is an absolute queen! She is living Living LIVING! I love it! I agree; let's PayPal her!

[geewhiz76]

you reap what you sew

[mandapop]

my god, she's stuck in the past... poor thing.

[planet7]

wow - this is the stillwell hotel in downtown LA....

[eveningprim]

ah! this is basically the way m' dearie! you live and you love and then you wake up in a world of garbage in a downtown hotel one day. you shine brighter than it all, dear lady!

[planet7]

this is the stillwell in downtown LA!

[eveningprim]

been there a lot- i hope these two gems are still there and still well!

[sardu22]

"Slow down. It's a Sunday afternoon, have a good time" is the funniest thing ever!

[VJTOMYAZ]

what a sad ending to a great video.. the poor thing.. where do we paypal her?

[hectorgz]

hey Quando :( -- Cuando :)

[sweetwhensweet2]

the end kinda made me sad for her

[Robbyjean]

That song is a Engelburt Humperdink CLASSIC!!!!

[hebneh]

I am surprised that Engelbert Humperdink singing "Quando, Quando, Quando" could meet with Royce's high-toned musical needs. But alas, even she must make accommodations - regardless of how bitterly unwilling she may be - to the miserable existence she now has.

[JDWarhurst]

I adore this; it's so Grey Gardens.

[scupper67]

Darling you look ravishing!

[conewells]

Royce was HOT-looking in her younger days. She had to be. Soooo bizarre.

[probableprincess]

I'd love to see what she said after when she says her mind doesn't work anymore....these ladies deserve some fame late in life....Royce is sheer upper class New York and life just threw her a curve ball....she is a true DIVA!

[Williepe]

Quando quando is the next video?!

[windowview]

fantastic darling.

[jpd66]

I'm almost speechless. Absolutely brilliant, please post more Royce, she's a real gem.

[carezzza]

I want MORE ROYCE!!! I need my fix!

[tread1955]

DIME CUANDO CUANDO CUANDO

[masterMonroe]

I want to hug her.

[allends612]

Oh my my! I am so in love!! I insist we must have more of these WOMEN!!! A+ Fabulous Wholesome Entertainment!

[djronniebruno]

WHO ARE THEY?

[GrampawUniverse]

Youngsters this is interesting to ol Me

[horseheadbusinessman]

Old men fighting...Royce, the bunny, great editing job. What's not to love? You got to do this again though, with more drinking and more talking. The bit at the very end, I want to see more of that. It's priceless.

[TRexFromHell]

god i love both of them so much

[Artylad]

Give me more lol x x x

[P0YKPAC]

This is great.

[OctopusClub]

this is reminiscent of Grey Gardens

thanks for the longer post, love her

(first?)
