Darlings, Welcome To The Ides Of March!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls, to think it is the Ides Of March already, with St. Pat's day two days away, St. Joseph's Day four, and Spring six. Things are on the way, no doubt. This day has always gotten a bad rap, thanks to Shakespeare and "Julius Caesar," but, honey, as a certified Theater Queen, I have always looked upon this day positively, because do you know what classic of the Musical Stage opened on this night??????

Fifty five years ago--March 15, 1956, at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, one of the greatest of all 20th Century Musicals made its debut--none other than "My Fair Lady," which introduced Julie Andrews to all us girls, almost a good decade before she took that immortal cinematic twirl. And Musical Theater has not been the same since!!!!!!!!!!!

I would guess the producers chose the date, unsure of how it would fare, so why not on this of all days???????? But, girls, it changed the complexion of this day entirely, so while you think about that, darlings, I want you to run to your bathrooms right now and fix your complexions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Ides of March, everyone!!!!!!!!! Let's hear it for fair skin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
