MGM You've Influenced Me...

And all the time I never knew Dear Readers,

March is  just around the corner, and all of the Casablanca's members are gearing up for our annual club dance! I always want the evening to be something from a movie, and here is a fine example of that which we pine to match, and dance right into.

"Skip to my Lou" Meet Me In St Louis 1944


One of my very favorites, I love the big "at home party"- people everywhere having a good time with friends (every light in the house on. With people eating on the veranda heavily reminds me of our own Casablanca gatherings) where all the attendants know how to dance.

(I mean I wouldn't scoff if Judy Garland led a dance at one of our parties!)

 I love that everyone's dressed up. People should dress up for things more, its really going by the wayside... I mean have you SEEN most "Prom wear" today?  Although this movie is set about 60 years before the Casablanca's prime, its a sweet technicolor reminder of what provably never was MGM how I love thee!

Naturally after the party is over, Doris Day along with Gordon Macray will sing and dance while cleaning up the general mess, as Patricia and I sleep in till noon!

Yes, that's how it should be!
