"my silent friend will you write me another story" ~Kylie Johnson 'Count me the stars' I meant to post much sooner but this weekend turned out to be just a tad busier than I had previously planned. MY SISTER GOT ENGAGED!!! This was a big surprise and everyone in my family is currently a bit shell-shocked. We are all very happy for her though and already beginning to get caught up in the thrill of wedding preparations (I have been busy going madly through all of my favorite pinterest boards, wedding blogs, and etsy stores in search of gorgeous ideas and inspirations!). At any rate this post is a little late. I wanted to share a beautiful blog I recently discovered though called Voix Douce. It is a photo blog that has some of the most beautiful and romantic pictures I have ever seen. Every photo displays old world elegance, grandeur, and beauty in spectacular abundance! I visit nearly everyday for a dose of refinement and loveliness. I know you will enjoy it! I am also including a little doodle I did recently just for fun! Drawing by Jennelise
Portrait of a Lady, said to be Elizabeth of Bohemia, William Larkin
My eyes! I can't believe what I saw last night! THIS is Ann Reinking: She is a fabulous dancer. If you don't know who she is, you really should go see her in a show or a movie or something. THIS is Gwyneth Paltrow: She may be a big star, and she may be morphing into a singer... but she is NOT a dancer! This is Bebe Newirth (also a pretty good dancer) with Ann Reinking on the Broadway stage in "Chicago": They were BREATHTAKING doing the the "Hot Honey Rag". This is Lea Michele and Gwyneth Paltrow last on on "Glee" doing the "Hot Honey Rag": They were awful! Especially Gwyneth. She looked like a rank amateur, compared to Ann Reinking. No control of her body at all, just flapping around... ugh! I know lots of young people love "Glee". I think it's great that they are becoming interested in glee clubs and old movie musicals (i.e., the "Make Em Laugh" number from "Singing in the Rain"). I just hope they don't get the impression that this is as good as it gets.
