Tell Him Anything But That I Love Him

Song from the 1976 British movie, The Slipper and the Rose.

He Say, She Say, But What Does God Say?

Powerful vocals and a humorous script combine in the musical by David E. Talbert. If you like your stories without a lot of nudity and harsh language--or scenes like the one I shared last night--you may enjoy this feel-good, song-filled story.

M is for Musical

by

Tempest Nightingale LeTrope

A musical is simply a dramatic work with musical interludes utilized to tell the story.  Bonnie and Clyde is a newer musical, which takes real elements from the lives of  Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who were bank robbers during the Great Depression. A story line was then created using musical numbers to enhance interest and excitement for audiences.

Theme Thursday: Wonder

If you were wondering what Spectra wonders...
Spectra wonders a lot of things. The older Spectra gets, the less she knows.
But here is something that is on Spectra's mind a lot of the time.

Spectra wonders why there is so much hatred for people of larger body types.
You should be dancing, no matter what your body type. Without "losing weight" as a reason. Just dance to be dancing.
If your legs don't work, make your wheels dance!
If you're bed-bound, let your mind dance.

No one body type is better than any other.
Some body types allow people to do more things.
But there is zero significant difference in the abilities of healthy thin people and healthy fat people.

Spectra hated her body for years because it's a fat body. She punished it, trying to make it lose weight. The weight would go away for a while, then it would return, plus several pounds more.
Spectra stopped exercising because it wasn't making her lose weight.
It became apparent that attempting to enforce weight loss wasn't working.
Unfortunately, it took 35 years to realize this.

Now, I move. Now I eat healthier food but don't restrict calories.
I don't love my body, but at least now I'm not always berating it.

Regarding the above video:
Wasn't John Travolta great in Saturday Night Fever?
He was lithe and lean, and he could dance.
Now John is heavier.
Why should this make him the butt of jokes?
He's still a great actor.
And I bet he can still dance!

I wonder if we could all be a little nicer to each other, regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion, sexual preference, or size.
It really isn't as hard as we make it.

Dahlings, Last.fm is messing around with their format and I don't like it! For the time, I'll be sharing some full-on videos with a theme, or not. I hope you enjoy. Here's a clip from one of my favorite obscure movies, Get Crazy.

I actually saw this movie at a drive in with a couple of friends.
