We got elegance



And so, the season of Patron Saints' birthdays continues. Today it is the turn of showbiz living legend Carol Channing to blow out the (92!) candles.

We adore the woman so much! As an early present for his birthday this year (we're in Spain for the actual date), I even bought Madam Arcati a copy of a West End theatre programme signed by Miss Channing ("...with Her 10 Stout-Hearted Men").



By way of a tribute, here Miss Channing is teamed up with one of her favourite collaborators the unstoppable Miss Pearl Bailey:


When she finally leaves us (as dear Miss Bailey already has), there will never be another...

A documentary of her life Carol Channing: Larger Than Life is now available on DVD. [Hint. Hint.]
