I think the sun is going down on my last summery day 😭 so I am sitting on my balcony reading about books and drinking a birthday bottle. I think the tagged book will be the one I take to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year to read. Turns out my parents will be in old Sydney town for dad‘s drs appointments to do with his accident not this January but the last so we will catch up for dinner both nights and they have booked the same hotel as me.

TrishB Sounds like a plan. Love your glass ❤️ 6d
LapReader Thankyou @TrishB It was a gift from an old man whose wife I work with. She is way past retirement. I don‘t have a license so he would drive me home from work once a week in exchange for the use of my sauna as it helped with his emphysema which he died of eventually. They were his mother‘s and so delicate. I cherish them. Very generous people. 6d
TrishB Oh that‘s a lovely story too (sad but lovely!). Beautiful and good memories. 6d
CarolynM This was such an interesting book. I‘ve been thinking about it a lot since Suzanne‘s daughter‘s book has been out🙂 3d

Another day, another POS sounding off about things they don't understand. I don't care about HP; therefore, don't care about JK. I don't agree with her AT ALL about trans issues, though there could be room for empathy if she made any attempt to grow from the reaction. But this just proves she is fine being uninformed and delights in causing controversy. She has no skin in this game. She is just a miserable person and she can f*ck all the way off.

Sad that I wasn't able to finish this book. It was all pictures of his writings/documents and a few photographs. What I did read was boring to me and didn't want to continue.

One of Jimmy's first movies was the remake of Seventh Heaven in 1937. I never watched the original. As much as I love Wizard of Oz, my favorites are Katherine Hepburn's Jo in Little Women, Philadelphia Story (Jimmy won Oscar), and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington ❤️❤️❤️. I should've done better, but I only cared for Stewart, Hepburn, or Grant.

@bellabella @LoverOfLearning @MemoirsForMe play????

LoverOfLearning 2........ ooof. Wizard of Oz And Of Mice and Men. 😲 2mo
MemoirsForMe I saw 14, probably because my mom loved all those Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals…and my husband loves Errol Flynn. I‘m also a big fan of Kate Hepburn and The Philadelphia Story. Boys Town and Lost Horizon are big faves too. 2mo

lauraisntwilder 4. I had no idea there was a version of Romeo and Juliet starring Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer. I can't decide if that sounds amazing or terrible! 2mo

He's Got Rhythm: The Life and Career of Gene Kelly | Cynthia Brideson, Sara Brideson

So much music news lately: the Grammys, Fire Aid concert, Super Bowl halftime. But I'm going old-school. On Alan Alda's podcast, Clear and Vivid, he recently interviewed neuroscientist and musician Daniel Levitin, and they spoke about using music to treat Parkinson's disease, which Alan suffers from. Scientist have been using songs with strong beats, like I've Got Rhythm, to help patients relearn how to walk!

Randomly reading this biography from 2000 with one of my favourite bookmarks and then i realised … OH! Well played bookmark gods.

I‘m interested in this period in Hollywood and the studio machinations behind the scenes - and man, Judy Garland was treated so badly. Her mother had her on amphetamines at the age of 10 😱😱 So I really enjoyed this - but it does have its flaws. ⬇️

Centique Clarke muses on Judys motivations and psychology and i think assumes too much at times. Also some of the stereotyping of women at the time is accepted at face value. He decries the fact that Judy‘s self esteem was damaged because her looks were so scrutinised but at the same time he seems to represent certain other actresses as little more than sex symbols. Its still an excellent read if youre interested in Judy Garland. 3mo
EKonrad I‘ll read any books about her. Always interesting to see different biographers takes on her life. Such a fascinating woman! 3mo
Centique @EKonrad agreed! An amazing woman 😍 3mo

Centique @Suet624 i know right? I get they didnt know too much about the consequences but the poor kid was a work horse being pushed past her limits 💔 1mo
Suet624 Sarah Pauley writes about the abuses she suffered as a child actor too. So tough on the kids. 1mo
Centique @Suet624 yes! That was one of the best books i read last year. So much wisdom in her words 💕 1mo

“Parker is a classic case of a misunderstood woman. She was a problem, and a problem that simply didn‘t fit in one way or another. All too often, women who refuse to conform must live and die with this temporal displacement. At the start of her career, Parker‘s stringing barbs and biting bons mots were seen as shockingly modern- indeed, ahead of their time-and most “unladylike.” By the end of her life, Parker was regarded as a relic of a time -

RowReads1 long gone, her verse anachronistic, her witticisms haunting popular culture and the rooms of the Algonquin as though she were a ghost long before she had even died”. 3mo

“By all accounts, Dorothy Parker‘s two favorite words were fuck and shit. Coming from such a small, genteel, quietly spoken woman, these words often made people do a double take and wonder if they had misheard”.
