"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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Vincente Minnelli binge?!!

Victoria, I have to track down some of the films, but if I watch any, I will post about it on here!
