Where The Black-Eyed Susans Grow

I found this framed sheet music at the Mission Mart in Bloomington. I payed $2 for it. I fell in love with it immediately- it's so elegant and poised but at the same time relaxed and carefree. I'll probably paint the frame black to match the rest of my wall art eventually. I had to look up the song- and it's as pretty as the cover art! I downloaded it to my iPod but I found a link for it on YouTube. It's sung by Beatrice Lillie, who was famous for being in Thoroughly Modern Millie apparently. You can listen to it here.

While I'm ranting about how much I adore this picture and having it on my wall, let me also tell you how much I love the dress in the picture. I would love to find a dress like this.

A Grace Kelly Hangover...

One of my absolute favorite movies is High Society with Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. Its a nice music infused tale based off of A Philadelphia Story with Katherine Hepburn. Anyway that movie always comes to mind when I am hungover. After Grace Kelly's charcter has had quite a night at her pre-wedding party she wakes up in the morning and comes down looking stunning and ready to be married. She's pretty hungover but you wouldn't know by the way she looks. I only wish I had the poise and elegance to be like that when I am hungover. But I guess there's a good reason the morning after isn't fun ;)
