Thoughtful Tuesday

Friday Find

Yesterday, November 21, would have been Vivian Blaine's birthday. An American actress and singer with an acerbic sense of humour famous for her roles, among others, in State Fair, Doll Face and Three Little Girls in Blue. She is perhaps best known though for originating the role of the long-suffering, perpetually engaged chorus girl Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. Indeed it is this last role that I will always remember her for. Today then, as a tribute to Ms Blaine I wanted to share a couple of 'Adelaide's' finest moments:

Take Back Your Mink


Adelaide’s Lament

Thoughtful Tuesday

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.
- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

Always worrying about things you can't control? Me too- Now repeat after me...
