That's when good neighbours become good friends

You know you're getting old when...

...you discover that every teen girl's (and gay boy's) lust object back in the mid-90s, Aussie soap Neighbours pin-up and prime chicken Billy Kennedy aka Jesse Spencer is 40 years old!





He's apparently still a "soap star", albeit in a fireman-based drama series in the USA today. And yes, he's still hot...

Jesse Gordon Spencer (born 12th February 1979)

Skip a beat and move with my body

It's Australia Day today, apparently. With the vile grey dankness that has descended over the UK of late, we could do with a dose of their sunshine...

And who better to bring some sunshine into our lives on this day of celebration than the Antipodes' very own superstar, our beloved Princess Kylie!?

Kylie Minogue - Slow

Knew you'd be here tonight
So I put my best dress on
Boy I was so right

Our eyes connected
Now nothing's how it used to be
No second guesses

Track in on this feeling
Pull focus close up you and me
Nobody's leaving

Got me affected
Spun me 180 degrees
It's so electric

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Don't wanna rush it
Let the rhythm pull you in
It's here so touch it

You know what I'm saying
And I haven't said a thing
Keep the record playing

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Read my body language
Take it down, down

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Skip a beat and move with my body
Skip a beat and move with my body
Skip a beat and move with my body
Slow

Enjoy the party, Cobbers!!

Your neon lights will shine for you, Xanadu

The weekend is looming again, and I can't wait. With the "social whorl" having been at full-pelt lately (see here and here), it will be good to have a lie-in...

But first, I have an audition to pass - Thank Disco It's Friday!

Countdown (Australia)- Xanadu Dance Contest Promo - July 20, 1980

Ferrara - Love Attack (1980 Xanadu dance contest - Nicholas Deary)

Whew.

Have a good weekend, dear reader!

Don't let the moment slip away

Congratulations, Australia!

From the News.com.au site:

A bill has been passed in Parliament to legalise same-sex marriage in Australia.

There were jubilant scenes in the public galleries and chamber where crowds and politicians rose to their feet, clapped and cheered. Many sang ‘I am, you are, we are Australian’ and waved rainbow flags.

I bet!

Who better to lead the celebrations than Australia's greatest ever export (and stalwart gay equality supporter) Our Princess Kylie Minogue?

Kylie Minogue - In My Arms

How do you describe a feeling?
I've only ever dreamt of this.

DJ's spinning up my favourite song,
Hurry up and get a groove on.
Light fantastic and it won't be long,
Don't let the moment slip away.

'Cause you and I could find a pleasure, no one else has ever known.
Feels like it is now or never, don't want to be alone

How does it feel in my arms?
How does it feel in my arms?
Do you want it?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Tell me.
How does it feel in my arms?

Got a feeling this is something strong.
All I wanna do is move on.
No more wondering where I belong.
So never go away.

'Cause you and I are a guilty pleasure, no one else has ever known.
Feels like it is now or never, don't want to be alone.

How does it feel in my arms?
How does it feel in my arms?
Do you want it?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Tell me.
How does it feel in my arms?

Caeteris paribus

Shivers went down my spine...
