I've never been there but I know it's such a lovely city :) and there is something curious, you know the "Sign" scene in the '82 Annie movie? Miss Hannigan talks about visiting Buenos Aires and gets a poster with a picture with the name of the city written on it. It's wrong 'coz the pic is actually a brazilian city, Rio. LOL I always laugh at that! My favorite musicals are The Sound of Music, Meet me in St.Louis, The Wizard of Oz (which we also had on stage around here and was one of the two musicals that ever national toured along with Avenue Q. I've seen it and loved it!), A Star is Born and much more.
Awww thanks a lot! I also like that interchange between people all around the world that a forum can bring us. I enjoy chatting to people with other cultures a lot - so I'm all smiles in here. I have two friends in England and one in the U.S, and guess what? I met them in a forum too! lol. I became an Annie fan when I was around 15 or 16 (I'm 20 now). I've been a fan of musical movies since my early teenage years - that's why I started studying english when I was 12, coz there are several things I'm a fan of that I can't find in my country like books and films, and I'm such a curious person LOL when I get interested in something I'll try to find all about it. Well, so I am a huge fan of Judy Garland and Shirley Temple. And once someone told me Temple played Annie. But I was looking at her filmlist and it said she played a character called Annie in the mid 40's, so that would be impossible, coz I knew Annie was a kid and she didn't look like Temple at all! Then I found out it was a Broadway musical and a movie also, so I saw the film and loved it! So I downloaded the songs, saw videos on the internet...And here I am now! Haha. And I'm still waiting for the day we're having Annie on stage around here! Musicals are not very popular, but we have a city that has several theatres with a lot of good plays...Like My Fair Lady, The Phantom of the Opera, Spring Awakening, The Sound of Music, Hairspray...I have seen The Sound of Music only, and it was awesome!
Oh yes, it's summer there isn't it? Here's pretty cold...Hard to wake up in the morning! lol. Winter on its way. I have relatives living in the U.S, an uncle and aunt and two cousins in Orlando and another uncle and cousin in New York. My city's name is Porto Alegre, in the south of Brazil. It's pretty close to Argentina! LOL
Thanks for the compliment on my dress! I do love it, I haven't seen another one quite like it and I've never liked to be like everybody else so it's just perfect. And I do hate wearing that wig but it's just part of the whole competitive Irish dancing stuff. You have to have a certain number of things like the sparkling dress, the wig, the fake tan on the legs (don't ask!) to be taken seriously. I would compete with a simple white shirt, black skirt and with my hair down if it was up to me!
Too bad you're not coming with your husband to France, I hope you will next time!!!
awwww...thanks! She is a purebred West-Highland White Terrier... but her ears stay down lol. She is my pride and joy. :) -- I thought your dog looks a lot like mine too! Soooo cute! :)
Hi there! That is not my dog in the picture. I visited a tour that came to my town and that was the show's Sandy. My real dog is a German Shepherd and he was very jealous when I got home that night:) Take care.
