julesG Don't even know why I picked this trilogy for 21 - I know there is a scene where the MCs are in the desert, neither knowing who they are. 5y

BarbaraBB Well played! 😘 5y

Cinfhen I‘m always creeped out by ventriloquist puppets 😳 5y

Cathythoughts They really scare me too 😱 5y

LiterRohde @Cinfhen @Cathythoughts But it‘s a great quote possibly from the introduction to the tagged book that looks to be a great collection of short stories from an Argentinian author. 5y

Cathythoughts It is a great quote ♥️👍🏻 5y

Cinfhen It‘s a very good quote - but those puppets still freak me out 😉😜 (edited) 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen me too Cindy!!! 😱😱 5y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen @Cathythoughts @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Really? I thought I was the only one!! Those puppets make me angry somehow. I csn‘t even watch Pixar movies like Toy Story #confessiontime (edited) 5y

Cinfhen That‘s actually funny @BarbaraBB it‘s just that ventriloquist dummy that scares that begeebeez out of me🥴 5y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen 😂 For me it‘s all puppets. Always. 😳 5y

Don't Cry for Me, Argentina: From "Evita", Arranged for Soprano/alto/tenor/bass and Piano by Barrie Carson Turner. [Vocal Score.]. | Andrew Lloyd Webber

I know a lot of people hated Madonna in Evita, but I enjoyed the movie. #DontCryForMeArgentina isn't my favorite song from the movie, my favorite is "You Must Love Me", which brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

#WanderingJune @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB

Leftcoastzen I love that one too! My obsession with Evita began way before the play or film. I had a stamp collection as a kid, saw her on the stamp and wanted to know who this beautiful woman was.Pre internet days , had to use encyclopedia ,Libraries and such.😀 5y

annahenke I remember performing Don't Cry for Me at a recital for voice lessons back in the day. Love that tune. 5y

erzascarletbookgasm I don‘t hate her in Evita 🙂 5y

Cinfhen I thought she was wonderful in the film and even Antonio Banderas grew on me 🎶💕 5y

Sex | Madonna, Glenn O'Brien

#WanderingJune

(Day 23 - #DontCryForMeArgentina)

*I cannot hear this title without immediately thinking of Madonna. When I was (much) younger, the publication of “Sex” by Madonna caused a furor that I‘ll never forget. Now she writes children‘s books . . . who‘d a thunk it?

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB She does? Somehow I wouldn‘t trust het with my kids 😂😂 5y

gradcat @BarbaraBB Surprised me as well. I only found out when I looked her up to find out the full name of her photo book (and whaddya know—it‘s all of one word!). She‘s written several, and from what I‘ve gleaned, she does fairly well with them, especially in the UK. Apparently, she started righting them for Lourdes. I have to say, I was shocked to learn about them, and shocked again to realize that I‘d never heard about her writing children‘s books! 😂 5y

#WanderingJune
I was stuck with a book for the #DontCryForMeArgentina prompt as Argentina is another country missing from my bookshelves. Then I remembered this travelogue & that the author learned to tango in San Francisco then went to Buenos Aries to dance there. It's a short chapter in the book but she decides there is too much restraint & not enough fun in the tango for her but no crying was involved--at least not in Argentina.💃🏻🕺🏻🤷🏼‍♀️

Cinfhen ❤️🌹 5y

Cinfhen Beautiful collage 5y

BarbaraBB Look at them! The tango is sooo sexy 💕 (edited) 5y

Evita | Ricardo Blaustein, Emmanuel Yevenes

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done🎶

#dontcryformeargentina #wanderingjune @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB

Cinfhen 🎶You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you🎶 5y

Leftcoastzen Love this! Such an amazing story. 5y

gradcat Great post & great lyrics! Bravo! 👍 👏🏻 5y

BarbaraBB That pic 😍 5y
