Their performances will live on forever and their memories will live on through their films. Today take some time to remember the talents of both of these wonderful ladies, and not the passings. Rest in Peace Ms.Stanwyck and Ms.Hepburn You'll be loved and cherished forever.
A few days ago, I was really dying to
listen to some 1920's/1930's and I couldn't possibly think of one particular singer to listen to, so I browsed on iTunes to see what I could find, and that
is where I found Annette Hanshaw. I knew of her a while ago, thanks to my very
good friend Kate, but I didn't really hear many of her songs until now. Now I
haven't heard every song of hers, but gosh is she amazing or what??? If you
aren't familiar with her, I'm here to introduce you to her songs and get you guys
acquainted with her wonderful songs! I hope you all enjoy and even if you
already have heard of her, just bask in her loveliness. :)
"Would You Like to Take a Walk? - My absolute favorite song of hers!
I just wanted to let you guys know I will be posting later on tonight/today but I thought I'd post something that I would thought was highly amusing. Hope you all enjoy! :D
^ Jeffrey Lynn and his ridiculous mustache!!! It cracks me up every time I see it. He's still adorably handsome though I prefer him without the stache!

Hey remember me?? Yeah I've been very neglectful with my blog and there is one thing to take the blame- myself. Last year was terribly rough for me and I had to put my blog on the back burner. My health had more downs than ups and I wasn't able to do the things that I loved to do. I was primarily succumbed to my bed, where I watched movies over and over again. Now that I think I finally have my health problems figured out, I want to start all over again with my blog. It's been forever since I last blogged and the last time I did blog, I didn't put much effort into it. As one of my resolutions for 2013, I'm going to blog more. Now I won't blog like everyday but a lot more than before. My health is now under control and I'm feeling optimistic that things are only going to get better from here on out. So I hope you all can join me in 2013 and let's hope for new and exciting things to happen in my blog and in our daily lives.
