I Want To Go To "Brigadoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                  "I want to live in a carnival city, with laughter and love everywhere."                                                               ---Barbra Streisand, "Have I Stayed Too Long At The Fair?"



                                  Especially after what I recently recounted, girls.  Not just Brigadoon, but Oz or Wonderland; I am not picky.



                                  But imagine a void in the nothingness opening into a gigantic hole, leading one into a magical, musical village.  I mean, look at the color composition of Vincente Minnelli in that photo.  All these shades of blue, contrasting with Cyd Charise's red.  Oh, my God!!!!!!!! Who wouldn't want to go there????????????????????????????????



                                    I know I am pining, girls, but sometimes things get so overbearing one wishes for a magical place to retreat to.  I have my books, and some movies.  I am thinking of going on a Vincente Minnelli binge, as I have seen less of his movies than more.  And there are some black and white films of his I never knew he directed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                      So, forgive me girls, if I wax rhapsodic for a magical place.



                                      Even if, like Dorothy, it is right where I happen to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
