Some of Shirley Temple’s first acting jobs were for Educational Films in a series called Baby Burlesk. They’re practically toddlers playing adult roles. They were shown during the Depression Era so there were many out of work men watching these shows. Anyone else besides me find this disturbing?

Common sense isn’t for some people
Let’s hope it is for our senators this time.

Nicely done Craig!
Giving money to the Red Cross for Haiti is great. That’s where I gave before I heard about another institution which has been working with the Haitian government for years. They are called Partners in Health and they work with other charities like Doctors without Borders. Because the infrastructure is such a mess outside sources are really strained getting in to the people. This group had something set up previous to the earthquake, so they are currently the only ones successfully providing medical aid to the Haitians. They have enough supplies at the moment, but with so many needing help they will quickly run low.
Now something from my new TV husband.

Take a chance and try to steal a fiery kiss
Radio City Music Hall + existentialism = NINE
I liked it better than Fellini’s 81/2. But that may be because the original now seems dated. I thought NINE was a bit long and tedious. It was the song and dance scenes with Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, and Marion Cotillard that saved this film. Not to forget Fergie’s number which stole the show.Even Kate Hudson’s bit was enjoyable in her own overly adorable way. Nicole Kidman’s solo not so impressive. In fact, her entire performance seemed flat. Sorry ole girl but no matter who much Botox you inject you’re a touch over the hill to be playing the muse. I get it. You are supposed to be aloof. You still need to be alluring…not ice cold. Her song selection didn’t help either.
It was a good not great show but the lush scenery and choreography needed the big screen. I did end up singing Be Italian all the way home in the car.
So you little Italian devils, you want to know about love?
Saraghina will tell you. If you want to make a woman happy, you rely on what you’re born with, because it is in your blood. -
Well hello 2010… come on in
What did I actually do last night? Laundry. It wasn’t bad. I opened a bottle of Prosecco and toasted to the new year sometime around 8 PM. By eleven I was fast asleep and all the more happier for it. My room mate ended up canceling his plans and I had no plans of my own. So there you have it.
I’m on Facebook. That means I read countless New Year’s wishes. My favorite was from a hometown girl I once knew in highschool. She just friended me yesterday. I liked it so much I thought I would share it with you.
Let us try to be good and content, kind to each other, healthy, gentle and brave..like heroes of old, patient, seldom rude or cross and never cruel, always in truth. HAPPY NEW YEAR and HAPPY NEW DECADE Everyone!!!
Thanks Lauren. Bravo! I wished I had said it.
