What I'd like to "ad".. - Favorite Musical Tournament

Excuse me? May I have your attention for a moment?


Thank you!!


... some of you don't have rythm - like Fozzy Bear in THE MUPPET SHOW
(he has a little help by Rowlf):



...others won't dance - like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire in ROBERTA (1935):



...or like Gordon MacRae in MOONLIGHT BAY (1951), are too cool and too smart to like songs.. :



(don't you just adore Doris Day in this???!?
It's one of my favourite films of hers..)

but:

You all can go and vote at Dawn's SINGIN' AND DANCING BACK IN TIME - where Monty is doing the fabulous FAVORITE MUSICAL TOURNAMENT!!

Hear me??

Please go and vote for your favourite musicals!!

Be quick because Wednesday August 31 the first round about the 20s/30s musicals will end!

And to get into the right musical mood:

here we have Shirley MacLaine and Gene Kelly doing one of the best musical parodies I know

- it's from WHAT A WAY TO GO (1964)

- and I am very sorry that the picture quality isn't better..


Thank you all so very much for listening - and voting (?)

Yours (very well) and truly

Irene

Just by the way: the pictures I posted here are from German musical WIR MACHEN MUSIK (1942) (= We make music) - so they won't affect your decisions..

- the girl in the light-colored dress is Ilse Werner (famous for being able to whistle quite beautifully - remember the intro of WIND OF CHANGE by The Scorpions?? M-hm.. ) and the ~ very handsome *ahem* and quite funny ~ man is Georg Thomalla - who actually was the German voice of Jack Lemmon and Danny Kaye and some others, too ..

What I'd like to "ad".. - Castle Macabre

My friend Michelle has a new blog.

And yes, I have to call her my friend because this is SOMETHING:


1. She likes to read - actually she is the original Book addict.. I am in her Tuesday Reading Group on goodreads.com - though I am a bit lazy lately.. Sorry.. - but I think I'll be game for the horror reading theme in October... ;")

2. She is a Bette Davis fan.

Look, it's Irene and Michelle!

- uhm.. no..

sorry.. Joan Blondell and Bette Davis.. ;")

3. She loves cats. (My best to Alice at this point, Michelle!!)

4. She is really an awesome person - I like her very much. She is very kind - and I like her humor..

Plus:

MICHELLE LIKES VINCENT PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ok - this is a giant cause to be called my friend.. Yay! for the master of macabre, the magnificent merchant of malice - the crush of my life: Vincent Price! )


so - this, Michelle, is for you (- and for me of course!!)


Uhm.. yes..

..let's go on:

- some of you may know Michelle's blog THE TRUE BOOK ADDICT
(from where the Cat pic Thursday meme origins..)

But now she has another blog started:

It has the marvellous name CASTLE MACABRE and will be dealing with "The horror genre in books and the occasional film".

- Do you really need more explanation or another cause to go there??

I say: This will be great - so please: visit and if you like: follow!

Yours truly

Irene
