Color Me Barbra

I've been enjoying my Christmas present to myself, 'Barbra - The Television Specials' on DVD. I watched, 'A Happening in Central Park' first - I've always loved her Chiffon gown, one of which is showcased on her first Christmas album! I then watched, 'My Name is Barbra'. An interesting note: the title is a number composed by Leonard Bernstein in 1943. Today I watched 'Color Me Barbra', which was filmed in color. The songs were chosen like ingredients for a tapestry rug, the hairstyle and make up were the same and those nails - like Buddah! I adore vintage Barbra and this is a fabulous showcase - she is simply extraordinary, she is simply Barbra...

Most of my Xmas break consists of going to ICE Cafe, eating, drinking, driving and visiting friends. Today we drove to Daylesford to visit our friend Fae, who recently moved there. Gable is slowly seeing parts of Melbourne outside of our comfort zone! The temp tomorrow will be high 30's, so we're trying to decide what to do after we meet up with Tony and Mal at...Ice Cafe!

Alan bought me a computer game called, The Movies, which has consumed numerous hours of my life...it's so addictive, even Alan is addicted, which doesn't really work because we are both desperate to use the computer to play this silly game...

The theme to my 40th birthday party will be Color Me Barbra - I'm so excited. But don't tell anyone, it's a secret.
