Baby, give me my baby and a band.

Do you remember that series I started way, way back about fun times and how it ended after about two posts? Well, I had this series I was going to start about watching people have fun in movies. I'm not about to start it up again, really, but I just wanted to mention how these 'spontaneous' scenes in movies really make me happy. I wish life really were full of these random, spontaneous dance scenes - choreographed by Bob Fosse, of course. This particular one is from the 1955 remake My Sister Eileen.

Professor, I don't mean maybe

Fashion Friday! Yay! I rewatched My Sister Eileen (1955) the other day and rekindled my love for the dresses in that film. Both Betty Garrett and Janet Leigh sport some super cute outfits, but my favorite is the one that Janet Leigh wears on her night out with her sister and her two suitors:



Unfortunately, you really can't see it very well in the video but it's a pretty vivid pink dress with a sheer layer on top. I love that! I love the cap sleeves, I love the sheer, I love the bright but subdued color. I think I shall have to work on acquiring one like it. Not that I have anywhere to wear it... but still!
