The Witches of Eastwick

Categories
Movies

Do you remember the 1987 movie of John Updike's above entitled novel?

A brief summary: Jack Nicholson is cast as the male lead with dynamic costars Cher, Michele Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon cast as unknowing witches living together in a coven into which Jack wanders.

I just love the send up and can't help casting myself and my three female partners Joan Rothermel, Jane Jacobs and Nancy Schess into this scenario. 

After all, I am most fortunate to be situated as the only male partner practicing in our most unique boutique Labor and Employment law firm. 

What's more, when I cast illusions of The Witches of Eastwick out to my partners conversationally they do not seemingly object.  In fact, I believe they approve, as Jane says she is Cher, Nancy says she is Michele and we then assigned Susan to Joan.

No doubt, I am as kooky as Jack, so just maybe it is a perfect fit (and partnership). 

Nancy did crack witches is okay, but nothing that rhymes with witch is allowed. 

A belated happy Mother's Day to my amazing and dear Witches!

I didn't see the movie, but witches? Nonetheless, I am fortunate to be connected with you all too. :)

The Witches of Madison Ave! A documentary for the film fest.
You have a much kinder heart than Jacks character... and we are grateful.

I'd like to wander into that Coven of beauties . Michelle lives up the road from me and has been married to David Kelley since 1993 . Neil Young is a neighbor . Michelle wears cowboy boots and T shirts and no makeup . It's horse country so I imagine she mucks a lot of stalls . Cher asked me out once in Aspen but I had to decline as I was subject to drug testing at the time and I'm sure Gregg would have been pissed and then there is Susan . She's got Greta Garbo's stand up size she's got Bette Davis eyes
