2017 is here, and (of course) it's raining and miserable - which is just what one does not need when shaking off a hangover...
However, let's start as we mean to go on, my dears! There are some things that will always lift the spirits, and one of them is today's birthday boy Señor Xavier Cugat! Here he is in glorious Technicolour (in one of those Esther Williams Hollywood extravaganzas Neptunes Daughter). It's Jungle Rhumba!
Just what the doctor ordered.

It is glorious and sunny here in Philadelphia, thankfully for all the mummery, although my window rollers were drawn till recently.....how can you see with all that light? Just last night saw a wonderful special on Esther Williams to kick the evenings festivities off, and before balls dropped. Happy New Year Gin Blossom!!!f🥗🍸🍸🍸
ReplyDeleteEsther Williams, gin and balls - sounds like you are starting as you mean to go on, too, sweetie! Jx
Deletei just realized that your blog has ceased to be listed on my "watch list!" i've wondered from time to time, where the hell is she? sorry hon, i'll re-up you!
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages since I have been "black-balled"! :-)

It's been rainy all day here in sunny California, so this is just what I needed today. Especially with sort of crazed expressions on so many of the dancers' faces.
ReplyDelete"Crazed looks" and "Esther Williams" go so well together... Jx
