Something to think about

With all the activity in Wisconsin and the teachers' protests that are happening in my own city I thought I would post a little something to think about. Now more than ever it is important to get involved and protect the rights that organized labor has fought hard to provide for us. You don't have to be a union member to appreciate the things that unions have done for the working class. Think about your weekend, your 8 hour work day, your benefits, and stand with the teachers, health care professionals, bus drivers, auto workers, farmers, firemen, police officers, in your community who need your support. Uphold the fine tradition of American workers before you and tell your legislatures that you won't put up with UNION BUSTING!!!

Legs I Love-Cyd Charisse

When it comes to dancers, or legs, there is no question that Cyd Charisse is a goddess. I first saw her in "Singin in the Rain" when I was a little girl and after the dream sequence I kept thinking "Why isn't Gene Kelly going to find that amazing flapper in the green dress?". Now that I'm older I still think "Why is Gene Kelly going to find that amazing flapper in the green dress?". Alas, things don't always turn out the way they should in movie land. Here's to Cyd, her incredible name, her beautiful legs, her breath taking style, and overwhelming talent. That's not enough adjectives for Cyd, but it's all I can come up with for now.

Clara Bow

I am in LOVE with Ms. Clara Bow. I have long been a fan of Clara Bow's amazing look not to mention her movies. Her curly hair has inspired many of my hair cuts (including my current one) and I could spend hours looking at pictures of her!

Movie Knits: The Exorcist

The Exorcist is not only one of my all time FAVORITE movies in the entire world, but it also has one of the most amazing hat and scarf sets I have ever seen. Every time I watch this movie I am distracted by Ellen Burstyn's knits in this scene. Her hat is especially wonderful and I don't mind admitting that I modeled the first hat I ever knit after it.

Cold Weather and Warm Clothes

The snow has started to melt but it's still slushy outside and the weatherman says we have another 6 to 8 inches headed our way on Tuesday and Wednesday. While our future blizzard remains to be seen it's still cold enough for a nice winter weather hand knit!
