"The Rapture" vis Ina's 70s Horror

 

Blondie: Rapture

it was all a dream!

 
Looking forward to Tom Blunt's next Meet The Lady live show: Dream Sequences!

Here, otherwise competent photographer Claudette Colbert's Freudian slip is showing for uber-man Fred MacMurray in this rescue fantasy/dream sequence from No Time For Love (1943) d. Mitchell Leisen.  The dream begins @ 07:46-10:24

 

Here's a link to another crazy dreamy post, A Blonde Dream, my favorite from the Weimar series at MOMA.

I love reading the community pages of The Freeport News when I'm here and this week I was following the dramatically named: National Arts Festival Adjudications.  Students from local high schools earned high scores with their performances!  The winners gave props to their (usually English) teachers who encouraged and coached them with their thespianism.

I love this image of 17 year old Desiree Joseph who garnered a 97 for her turn in an evocative scene of someone "Waiting In Line".

Mr. Strachan, 16, as an Old Man at a Wedding!

And a 5th grader tells off a bird and scores a 90!

By far my favorite theatrical moment was "documented" in the paper last Monday:

where "actors" Jermaine Gibson

                                                                        and Ronald Rolle

 basically reenact their dispute for the Freeport News camera:

(Perhaps playing together will help to resovle the Jeep issue...)

With all the high scoring local theatrical talent they should rename the island:

Freeport, Grand Bah-DRAMAs!

 

super moon burn!

Moon June Croon...here's my favorite Moon Song sung by Crosby.  "Black Moonlight"(darkening the promise of dawn...):

 

and on a lighter note, "Moonburn" at 2:14

Enjoy the Super Moon!

One of these days this will be on youtube.  A weird combo of fantasy and noir set mostly in New York...

"A satirical revue especially created for records"

I love Stan Freberg! Like like the 60’s era comedies How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Putney Swope, Freberg’s Ad Man world-centric humor is far more revealing and subversive than Mad Men could ever hope to be. Stan helped to make me the person I am today I’m sure, since as a little girl, I overheard his records at home and went on to playing and playing them myself while acting out all of the parts. Of course, I didn't understand a bit of it then but I loved the songs.  Here's a Columbus Day treat from the “foaming comedian” with "sneakers, glasses, (&) fliptop head"!

 

a little bird told me...

These are some of the birds I "captured" this summer:

Humming bird in Barryville, NY
