Three Swedish Girls..

Today (May, 26 - somehow the "date thing" isn't working here - no matter how often I fix it..) is the birthday of Ingrid Goude who was Miss Sweden in 1956 (In 1951 it was a certain girl named Anita Ekberg..) and appeared in a few movies of maybe not really international fame..  



Though I happen not to care too much for nowadays beauty pageants (for beauty pageants at all.. I can't see why anyone should make her-/himself reliant to the judgement of a bunch of people - without need..) - I have a soft spot for the beauty ideals of the past.. (Maybe until the mid 1970's..) Well.. anyway.. 

Today I will spent the day in the city on my own - which I enjoy very much. It will be kind of a single girl's day - but of course to be with friend is also great - so here you have some pictures of Ingrid Goude having fun with fellow Swedish ladies May Britt and Inger Stevens. And for in Northern Hemisphere the Summer is beginning and at least in USA (for Memorial Day) and in Germany ( for Pentecost) Monday will be a day off (I am not sure whether Azerbaijian's and Armenia's Republic Day and National Day in Etophia are off, too) and I think these pictures really fit the occasion of a long, sunny weekend.. 

But first: 

Happy Birthday, Ingrid

- or:

 Grattis pĆ„ fƶdelsedagen, Ingrid!!! 


And now - have a wonderful weekend!..

..and don't forget: 

~ Keep your hair in style.. ~

~ make sure you look good on photos - and the light is right.. ~


~ Keep your feet clean ~

~ don't forget to eat a bit.. ~

~ and of course: have fun! ~

Thank you very much for listening!

yours very well and truly

Swinging with a star - with Danny Kaye, Nat King Cole and Harry Belafonte (twice)

Welcome to a new issue of Swinging with a Star!


The song of today is dealing with looks for this is this (and next) month's theme on this blog. To be specific: It deals with a guy declaring that he is ugly - and his sons making fun of him.

 Frankly: I was looking for the Robert Mitchum version of this song I am featuring here today.. Well, I didn't find it. But what I found is quite great too.

I like the fact that the guys singing this song appear to be extraordinary good-looking.. 

Have the great Harry Belafonte singing it twice.. with just wonderful partners! Love all my guests to day!!  - and yes: I listen to Mr. Belafonte and Mr. Cole quite a lot..

First we have Harry Belafonte with Nat King Cole:



and then with the wonderful Danny Kaye:




And I also like that all three men in these videos appear to have a real good time. 

And shaking your hips to Calypso music can't be wrong (unless your doctor says so..)

I hope you'll have a great weekend!

(Just by the way:
 you still can vote on the poll.. Thanks to the five persons who did yet!)

Thank you for listening - and swinging!

Yours very well and truly
