That is such fun, Brian. Astaire Kelly and Co. as we've never seen them before!
And I happen to think Rita Hayworth is just the most beautiful woman, ever.  (Swoon!)

I just couldn't help thinking how clever the editors were to put it together.  They picked some good bits!  Wish I could dance like Fred Astair - more like Fred Flintstone ;D

They also picked some bad bits of Hayworth - 'Miss Sadie Thompson' is a terrible film. And they missed out one of Hayworth's best: the parody in 'Pal Joey' of her "strip" in 'Gilda'. One glove removed.

Thanks to all the videos posted I have spent the last few hours watching videos. ;D

Here's another one that is fantastic.
Rita was so  gorgeous and the dresses she wore for these movies were exquisite, so feminine and flattering.
Sighhhhhhhh!!!

Those were all wonderful, thanks everyone, just right for brightening a miserable day.

Something very different, I was very happy indeed to see the stunning photos of red nototriches on and in the new AGS Journal. When I saw the front cover I though "Oh My God, a red version of my Acaulimalva!" But no, a different genus. Apart from the colour though, they look just the same. Acaulimalva weberbaueri is lemon yellow. The weather and other stuff have prevented me taking pics lately but it's still in bloom so must get out there.

Well yes, it is! It wasn't natural, I discovered some time ago she was persuaded to dye it red to get away from too "Latin" a look.... but it was so gorgeous I forgave her!  I don't know how good it looked in real life  but it is quite fabulous on film.

I've just been sent a download of the first (of three) Songs of Praise from Dunblane Cathedral. Great to see so many familiar faces. 8) What a great programme.
