This week is the final push for the holidays. We can do this. Between moving my Mom, cleaning out her house and running Spec Ops Cat into the vet three times last week, I’m a little festively frazzled. Spec Ops Cat is doing well now. I could use a bucket of spiked eggnog myself. And one of his B12 shots. And a dump truck load of Christmas cookies.
So when times get challenging, I like videos. One of my favorite dance numbers is this one from “Top Hat.” Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, backwards, in heels, in a long dress with FEATHERS! Notice how she has to kick the dress up to keep from killing herself. Us women rock. The dance number really picks up about the two-minute mark, so hang in there.
For a holiday bonus, I’ve added the just released trailer for “Oceans 8.” All women. With and without heels. Can’t wait to see this. Happy Holiday rush week!
Hurray for Spec Ops Cat! Hurray for Ginger! (Fred also had his taps dubbed in when they needed to be, not so for Ginger.) Hurray for Ocean’s 8! Hurray for a Merry Christmas for my favorite Quirky Warrior Woman Writer. Be well, my friend.
You too Julie! Have a very merry one.
Just back from grocery shopping, forgot the eggnog. Sigh. So happy to hear Spec Ops Cat is in good health for the holidays. Pace yourself on the cookies and I’ve no doubt you will survive! Thanks for the bonus video, looks like a winner. Merry Christmas! <3
Is Mom situated in her new digs?
Yes, two months now. She loves it and is warm and cozy. Given the weather, it worked out great!
