  1. *We could sing that tune Elsie does in her show with Masie Springfield!*

     

    ooh yes! i love that cute little tune! i love that scene in the movie where she's wearing that white dress and she starts dancing all over the place and then the Prince's son walks in on her.

     

    *Oh boy, now that's asking for trouble. I can just imagine what will become of the scarf after*

    *he scared off the mittens! Just make it long enough for a noose.*

     

    i cant be in much more trouble with him than i already am. he is really cranky, b/c i wasnt here for 2 weeks. heehee! but you know i just wave my puppy dog pout in front of him and he cant take it anymore. heehee! :) hey thats a pretty good idea! ill make the scarf extra long! ;) and when he's not looking, stealing the devil's food cake, we can sneak up behind him and you can pull the scarf and ill have my long black gloves to strangle him with the noose! ooh how loverly! heehee!

  2. *I think it would look great with your coloring and skin tone! And you'd get the best kind*

    *of reaction.*

     

    thank you dahlink! but you would too and you know it! okay we're no longer the Gilda act, now were the Elsie sisters! this could be fun!

     

    *He seems to like the cold!*

     

    well you'd think he would do something about it, but he just chooses to sit in the cold like a lost puppy doggie waiting for us to let him in....im making him a scarf to go with his mottens, b/c he was telling me how mittens couldnt make him all the way warm. he better like it this time thats all i have to say! heehee!

  3. *I love that dress, too! One could wear that today it's so lovely! You would look great in it.*

     

    do you know what kind of reaction we would get if we wore that dress?! holy joe! heehee! i think you would look better in it then i would dahlink!

     

    *I'll have to look again---I didn't notice that! What wonderful taste they showed. I'm sure*

    *FrankGrimes is upset they didn't choose Sue Lyon.*

     

    heehee! he'll probably freeze up when he sees that. poor baby....;)

  4. oh dahlink! did you see my favorite westerns in the western thread?

     

    did you see the cover of the new TCM catalogue in the now playing guide?? greer is on the cover!!!!i was so excited! finally they are beginning to notice my greer. heehee! sorry to change the sugject ill never do it again, i just wanted to let someone know. heehee! ;)

  5. *He was a proper little gentleman. I'd love to have a boy like that, except I'd hope he wasn't*

    *planning to overthrow my "government"!*

     

    heehee! likewise! it was so cute how he wanted to overthrow the government with his little know it all proper ways. i loved that! i dont think i'd want him actually doing it though.

     

    *Thank you for that picture, I hadn't seen that one. I wanted to add that I think the*

    *Prince and the Showgirl is Marilyn at her most beautiful. I like the more natural*

    *coloring of her hair and the way Jack Cardiff lit her is so incandescent. All those warm*

    *ambers and soft creamy colors just set her beauty off brilliantly.*

     

    your welcome! i liked it a lot when i found it too! i must say i thoroughly agree with you about MM's look in this movie. i think i like her best in this movie too, without the EXTREMELY bright red lipstick and the blind a person platinum blonde hair. i liked the creamy blending of colors they did with her clothes, her hair, and her make-up. it makes a lot of difference. its almost like a whole different Marilyn!

     

    i loved this dress!!

  6. *I love that Olivier was so willing to play the straight man to Marilyn---he had to know that*

    *she was going to be the main focus of the movie, but I guess since he was doing both roles*

    *(star and director) he had enough on his hands. He's very funny as the Regent and that young*

    *man who plays his son was terrific! I just think it's adorable the way Elsie turned that whole*

    *household upside down.*

     

    i wasnt at all surprised that he agreed to do a movie like this with Marylin, i just thought it was a bit interesting, b/c when i was littler, i was so used to him being my Mr. Darcy! heehee! i thought his son in the movie was too cute for words trying to be all proper around Elsie all the time.. heehee! he just made me smile everytimehe came on screen. Elsie had this way of talking to everyone she met, that just got to all of them, and she did it all without trying.

     

    loverly pictures dahlink!

    im sorry! its just not in my heart to choose only one favorite! im so ashamed! heehee!

  8. i love the part of Prince and the Showgirl when she sits on that couch and he gives her that drink and she didnt ask for it, but took it anyway and then he starts flirting with her telling her how wonderful the parts on her face are andf then he says, "your chin." she replies, "oh you skipped my nose, b/c you found the bump on the end." i love that part of the movie! it makes me laugh everytime!

     

    i found Larry Olivier interesting in this movie, b/c for me, it wasnt his usual character that i love to see, and it was so different for me to see him with that eye piece and the hair and the voice, it was all so.....different! heehee! but i loved him anyway in it, b/c i just love larry!

  9. oh i like that pic of them at the table! how happy they look!

     

    heehee! youre probably right about the boy saying that to me, but that's thewhole reason why i'd come up to him and kiss him! i do that to my little brother sometimes.

     

    *It's my second favorite, after The Misfits. Lorelei is my favorite of her comic characters, along*

    *with Elsie in Prince and the Showgirl.*

    like i said! you are in so much trouble ang!!! but i saw him first! remember! okay just because you were born before i was, doesnt you saw him first, technically since i saw him when i was a little girl, that make me the first one! so there! ;)

     

    *I?ve got that Melody Jones pic on my desktop and I can?t help but goofily smile every time I see it .*

     

    HEY!! what did i say about that! just for that, im gonna have a will can dream.......okay youre not in trouble anymore, since i saw that new pic of him with fay wray in The First Kiss. wow! i want that as my new screen saver! oh ang, i got my new computer working and im having so much fun with posting screensavers on it! thats gonna be my next one!

  12. hey johnny on the spot!

     

    *Hey there!*

     

    cute smiley! i love it!

     

    *Mais non, c?est la verite, In college I excelled en francais but with deutch I was a dummkopf.*

     

    c'est grandiose!

     

    *I?ve been noticing that your junior moments have been increasing lately. Maybe you should cut down on your overthinking and try a little more underthinking. Underthinking has it?s disadvantages as it is known to result in junior moments but sometimes the simplicity of underthinking can result in unexpected brilliancies. Like acing math tests or delivering brilliant speeches about bowling alleys (although these great feats can hardly be termed unexpected). Despite a plethora of junior moments, I still think you show a lot of promise.*

     

    well you know, my junior moments must be coming from all those fake machete fights. im all tuckered out....i be helen and greer will come help me! ill have less junior moments then. heehee!

     

    i never underthink! what is this thou is accusing moi of?! :)

     

    *Dorothy? And surely you?re not comparing Sophia with Rigoletto.*

     

    HEEHEE!!! oh my goodness!! thats a good one, no silly goose, im not comparing them...two different italians right there.

     

    *Are they from Sicily? What do we have here, ?The Godmother?? I think Beatrice would be good at making an offer that couldn?t be refused. I wonder what she would look like with cotton in her mouth.*

     

    yup, during the series, they constantly talk about Sicily, especially Sophia, Dorothy's Ma, before they came to Brooklyn. they always joke about silly things that make me laugh so hard! actually, i think in one episode Sophia pretended she was the "Godfather" or godmother if you will. that was a cute one! i could definitely see Bea Arthur doing that. how funny!

     

    *I have tickets for Rigoletto coming up in April. I bought them eight months in advance to get a discount but to ensure a good seat as well. How?s that for fancy, eight months in advance, woo!*

     

    wow! fancy!....maybe this a bad time to mention how early in advance i got my tickets to go see Carol Burnett when she comes to Austin. heehee!.....dont worry i seem to feel a junior moment coming on.

     

    *That?s hilarious. Can you imaging them at a bowling alley. Harriet would yell at the top her lungs, ?SHUSH, SHUSH?. Then she would throw a gutter ball and say, ?Where is Sir Walter Scott in all of this, that?s what I want to know. Where is Sir Walter Scott?? And that yechy Lucy Van Pelt would yell out, ?HEY, DO YOU THINK EVERYONE IN HERE COULD JUST STOP TALKING WHEN I?M BOWLING. I THINK WE NEED A LITTLE QUIET IN HERE WHEN IT?S MY TURN TO BOWL. HOW CAN I BOWL WITH ALL THIS RACKET GOING ON, THAT?S WHAT I SAY. YEAH, THAT?S WHAT I SAY, HOW ABOUT HOLDIN? DOWN THE RACKET AROUND HERE!?*

     

    yes i could see that! actually there was this one time where i was in one of my team leagues and we were in a big competition and on the last game we were tied with another team unless i rolled 3 strikes on my last frame and i did it, and my team mates and i were so excited and we were jumping up and down and there was always this one grouchy man sitting in the bowling alley behind all of us, and he would always watch us do everything and he finally stood up and shouted, "KEEP IT DOWN YOU LOUSY KIDS!!" it was so funny, but i was so scarred by his voice, that i had this shocking look on my face and my coach went up to him and said, "will you be quiet and let the kids have a fun time, you grouch?!" then she turned back to us and said, "carry on darlings".....it was a rather humorous moment.

     

    maybe that grouch and Harriet should get together and take lucy along for kicks. heehee!

     

    *i dont mind harry Potter, i think the story in itself is genius and really playful and fun to read, but as the books got darker all the way to book 7, i started loosing interest...i am just into Harry Potter for Daniel Radcliffe personally. heehee! he is such a cutie!*

     

    *Figures!*

     

    youre never getting rummy back....:)

     

    *I?ll check with my sources in Hollywood. Would you like to play the title role or should we get someone to play you? What young actress could play you, do you think?*

     

    i doubt very dubiously that anyone would like to play me silly.

     

    *A strong girl pirate? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Oh, excuse me, ahem, you mean there?s such at thing as that.*

     

    i already proved it so there! you cant trip me up with your vicious words. heehee!

     

    *I think you should take your fake machete to Guess. You can wave it menacingly in the air. They?ll give you three or four just to get rid of you.*

     

    what kind of a female pirate do you take me for? im an innocent one who only uses her fake machete for good not evil, when certain dirty piarets want to dance around a camp fire with their rummy!

     

    *You girls are just incorrigibobble. That Geena looks mighty formidabobble with all those guns. Do you suppose she has a machete? Probably not, ?cause girls or so clumsy with knives, they cut themselves and then go, ?Oh, oh, oh.?*

     

    actually i think she had a machete in the movie on the island when she was cutting down grass and vines, but who's looking anyway. heehee! oh were not that bad, just because im clumsy, doesnt make every other girl clumsy! goodness!

     

    *Oh scotcho, oh scotcho, the rum stealer supreme*

    *Once again up to her wiley ways*

    *No consequences will laffite take*

    *For difficult to find will he it make,*

    *The Wiley One shall seek all the days*

    *But for to find will be but a forlorn hope and dream*

     

    johnny on the spot stole the rummy

    so it tickled his tummy

    if only if only he hadnt taken one sip to many

    he'll be gone it he isnt careful

    johnny oh johnny i promise ill hide the fake machete

    if youll only stop blaming me for your halucinations.

     

    ....heehee!

     

    *Do you say that too? No wonder your little brother thinks you?re weird. He has a sister who thinks she?s greer and who lies to darcy. She knows he?s no good with a bow and arrow. She?s just butteringscotching him up. You girls are so incorrigabobbebly sneaky.*

     

    i just quote the best, which lizzy happens to be prodigiously so. just because lizzy can beat mr. darcy with a bow and arrow doesnt mean she's butterscotchin' him up. she's being herself, i mean if she let him win, he would be accustomed to being spoiled even around his true love, and as Lady Catherine DeBourgh says, "she right for you darcy, you need someone who wont be afraid to stand up to you...i think you've found her." she's quite right you know! otherwise, who else would stand up to Darcy?

     

    *It?s cause I want you to make an historical speech (not hysterical) that will be quoted extensively by everybody in the whole world for all time. That?s not asking too much, is it?*

     

    oh gee, let me think.....

     

    *He drools all the time over her memory. The memory of Lucy Van Pelt, the poster girl for all fussbudgets, would make anyone drool?drool in agony.*

     

    well i dont think Lucy Van Pelt would succomb to anyone or anything, that is unless Shroeder finally declares his love for her so she can melt in his arms and she wont shout LIKE THIS! anymore....its all for the better, if Shroeder and her get together, she wont be so annoying hopefully anymore.

     

    *Here, take my handkerchief.*

     

    dont ever lend me your hanky unless you want it wet when i give it back to you. every hanky frankie has lent me, i have used to much when watching my Paula and Smithy, that it never dried b/c i cry so much. heehee!

     

    *And about that little cottage. Where?d it come from anyway? Oh, I forgot, we have to put a nice little country cottage out of nowhere because this is such a sappy movie. Who was living there anyway at the end of the movie? They should have come out the door, and said, ? GO ON, GET OUT OF HERE, THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, GO KISS EACH OTHER AND BE SAPPY SOMEWHERE ELSE, GO ON, BEAT IT. THIS IS MY COUNTRY COTTAGE NOW, OFF WITH YOU, YA BIG SAPPIES!!? (There should be a sign in the yard that says, ?The Van Pelt Residence.?)*

     

    didnt you know that it was a magical cottage and they made it just appear there for them, b/c its a happily ever after sort of thing...well until disatster strikes then, but that doesnt come yet! lucy van pelt will never grabe their special little cottage away from them! why the thought of that happening is treachorous!

     

    *Maybe there will be an assignment to give a speech about one of your favorite persons in history. It doesn?t seem altogether unlikely that that might happen. Then you could give a brilliant speech about Greer. Tell me about your bowling. Have you ever bowled a 200 game? I am terrible at that drat game. I think I bowled a 149 once.*

     

    one could only hope! heehee! i dont think we have another speech to give though, next week is the last week of the semester and i got a really good grade on my other speech, so im good! my bowling? i have been in lots of leagues with teams and some by myself. i liked it best with my team though, b/c it was more fun that way. my best team was called A Lady and the Gentz, b/c i was the only girl on the team. we won first place in the league that year. my highest game was a 210, by sheer luck and chance. but i usually bowl a straight throw, and you have better chances of getting strikes with a curve so im gradually trying to place a hook in my throw and it isnt easy. oy! but its fun.

     

    by the way a 149 is a good score, so dont you think youre terrible for a second! :)

     

    *So maybe I?m back now from my long voyage on which I?ve been plunderin? the weak and easy and generally wreaking havoc on the high seas in the inimitable laffite style but now you will excuse me while I peruse the booty reaped from those who befall the fate of great pirates of the sea and who are now bereft of their possessions but always shall laffite while drinking his rum and counting his doubloons keep his eye here in the hope of a few rejoinders from that greer girl extraordinaire and hoping ever earnestly that it will be soon forthcoming and not as gald dang long in arriving as this one took for which laffite offers his most humble apologies.*

     

    where did you go on this fantastic journey? Madagascar? ooh where? did you bring back any treasure? i bet you didnt find the rummy yet.

     

    *Adieu, chere amie, jusqu?a la prochaine fois.*

     

    adieu johnny on the spot!

  13. *Heavens to murgatroyd de burgos, greer- and helengirl supreme, where do you find this stuff! So now you think this proves that girls make good pirates. Humph! What it does show is that they make cute pirates. Helen really looks good in these pictures. Cute smile but sorry, that attempt to look fierce is sadly lacking. Laffite and his band of pirates extraordinaire would find this light work. By the way, that is not a fake sword. It's a real sword and if you look closely it's stuck in Helen's leg. She's trying to be cool about it but you can see it hurts like the dickens. Boy, is she gonna tan his hide when they get home.*

     

    hey swasheroo!!!

     

    oh you know me, i find these things in the strangest places. heehee! you have to admit helen looks mighty gorgeous in a pirate's outfit! yes i do think it proves it! if geena davis and helen have pirate's outfits on, that must mean they are pirates! correct me if im worng of course. heehee!

     

    wow! if thats not a fake sword, you got me on that one. if it is real, then she looks a little too happy about it. heehee! but then again she's tough remember? by the way, thats her nephew.

     

    ill get to you message right after my math class okay. :)

    have a good day until then...and even after that, but im not giving you the rummy! heehee!
