Sooooooo silly and good. And what a dreamy combo they make.

They sort of owe him... <br /><br />The other thing that blows my mind is how effortless he makes that dancing look--like we could all do that if just left alone for a few minutes in our house. Last year I took a dance class at BalletAustin, and it took me a whole hour to learn how to sort of do that one footed, multi-turned pirouette. I still really can't quite do it physically (I am always out of balance) but in my head, I am right there with him. <br /><br />I think this is the real reason I love him (and I imagine the real reason many of you creative ladies love him too. He reminds of us what you can do with a little, and how can that not lift our spirits, really...Never mind how dreamy he is. <br /><br />And he is. Very. Dreamy. <br /><br />Love your blog, though I don't comment much. Still check in quite a bit.

But just seeing these pictures again... titterpated. Happily married to a guy with two left feet, cute in a non-gene kinda way, but still... twitterpated.Carolina Nightingalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820627600878938186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843198114362476108.post-46083149356660610302011-08-24T17:43:54.246-05:002011-08-24T17:43:54.246-05:00And all this time I thought Diane was the only one...And all this time I thought Diane was the only one! Smitten by Gene Kelly, I mean!<br /><br />He is fabulous to be sure! But my heartthrob was a dead heat between Danny Kaye and Donald O'Connor! But then, I have had a crush on Peter Faulk for years so I guess I don't always follow the crowd!<br /><br />Seriously, I am thrilled to know that these fantastic, supremely talented, amazing stars from so long ago are still loved and appreciated by generation after generation. So much work and effort went into those delicious musicals, it is good to know they are continuing to be appreciated. <br /><br />And Gene Kelly - well he was just incredible all the way around. Total class all the way!<br /><br />It is going to be fun to see what everyone comes up with in the craftalong?pamhttp://gingerbreadsnowflakes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843198114362476108.post-44553599837938179932011-08-24T05:05:41.850-05:002011-08-24T05:05:41.850-05:00I absolutely love this idea!

Weirdly, my husband found this video for me the other evening, and I couldn't take my eyes off it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sahg9O63H9E <br /><br />My favourite of his films is actually his first major role, Me and My Girl with Judy Garland, although I retain a strong affection for The Pirate. <br /><br />I probably shouldn't say this since I'm snowed under right now, but I think I have an idea for a quilt so I shall see if I can make some progress on my doodle this evening :)Laurahttp://madeinoxford.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843198114362476108.post-53200881368709592002011-08-23T19:43:28.110-05:002011-08-23T19:43:28.110-05:00wow ... so funny that the number that I first '...wow ... so funny that the number that I first 'crushed' on Gene to as a kid is You Wonderful You ... all through my life whenever I've heard a creaky floorboard I've whistled the tune in my head ... Such a delight to watch the routine again ... thank you!<br /><br />great thighs too (think Mack the Black!) <br /><br />will think of something crafty to add to your flickr group ... xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063909153475218313noreply@blogger.com
