Girls, Remember When We Pretended To Be Like This??????????????????????

                                                  Highly influenced by Marlene Dietrich in "The Blue Angel," and Liza Minnelli doing "Mein Herr" standing on a chair, I can still recall those carefree days of youth, when I would curl up on the floor--if only I'd had that outfit--and pretended to be 50's sexy, which, when one thinks about it, is still pretty sexy, even by the standards of today.

                                                    It is rather like the song "Doatsy Mae" in "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas."  Fantasizing has its advantages; fulfilling them can often lead to trouble.  

                                                      Keep those fantasies confined to one's bedroom, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                I wanted to get you Susan Mansur, from the original, 1978 Broadway production. Here is Andrea McArdle--hey, she can sing!!!!!!!!--at an Actors Fund Benefit performance, in 2007.  Oh, my God, that is fifteen years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   We are all "Doasty Mae," girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
