The French are glad to – die – for love,
they delight in fighting – duels.
But I prefer a man who lives and gives
Expensive jewels!
A kiss on the hand may be,
quite continental,
but diamonds are a girl’s best friend!
A kiss may be grand,
But it won’t pay the rental on your humble flat
or help you at the automat.
Men grow cold as girls grow old,
and we all lose our charms in the end.
-dee dull dee dee –
But square cut or pear shaped
these rocks don’t lose their shape!
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend!
Sorry, I’ll quit singing now. 🙂 I couldn’t sleep last night so I flipped open my laptop and just watched a few of the musical numbers from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. It was amazing how Marilyn Monroe knew just how to get at least one little wiggle in after every phrase of that song. And they were the perfect little exclamation point. And then to watch Jane Russell perform “Ain’t There Anyone Here For Love”, there was such a difference. She didn’t do as much of the wiggling, but it was still impressive. With Marilyn Monroe her little wiggles were more like shyness, but with Jane Russell it was all just out there. She was bold about it. I need to study those…
Hehe.
But seriously. It’s an amazing contrast in flirtation. (This is getting to be one strange blog.) I almost performed ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’ for that variety show I had to put together a few months ago, but I’m not sure I could have done it right without studying the number. I tried to mimic it last night but those wiggles are a science, dang it! It’s tough.
Sorry, I have no idea where all of that came from. I’ve just got that song stuck in my head. 🙂
So I sent the letter off to The N about my travel show. Eeps! I’m slightly nervous, but not really. As my friend Greg said, the worst they can say is No, and if they say that, too bad for them. I’ll take the idea elsewhere. Of course, it’d be a lot easier and a lot nicer if they say Yes, cause the more I’ve thought about it the more I think the show would work really well there. Sigh. I so want it. It’d be *perfect* for me.
I suppose I should get going on the day now, since it’s already almost noon. Tee hee.
