Little Edie Beale: Style Icon

For my Communication Design class we got to make e-magazines for iPad. I made one about my style icon Little Edie Bouvier Beale. I wish there was a way to share it with you guys in its original form, but I'll do my best to modify it to share with you guys! There is a slideshow and an audio file which I can't figure out how to share with you guys. What do I do???

*You guys! I fixed it! I still want to put the audio up for you too, so just sit tight!

$Little Edie Beale$ from Kats22 on 8tracks Radio.

Okay, so I made this playlist but you need to have eight songs to publish it. I mostly just want you guys to check out the first two tracks to get into the Mood.

Antoinette Perry Is In The House, Y'all

 In honor on The TONY Awards, which are on TONIGHT (It's the biggest night of the year. Duh. Hello?), I will review My Favorite Musical Of All Time Which Also Happens to be Nominated For a TONY Tonight: Follies.

Follies has everything a person (or at least I) could ever want in a musical: Sparkle!, Dazzle!, Ladies of a Certain Age!, Glamour! And behind the rich, haunting, most depressing story you'll ever watch is a BRILLIANT score by my All Time Idol, Stephen Sondheim.

Isn't he a CutiePatootie?

The score includes the beautiful love ballad, Losing My Mind, which was turned into a disco tune by Liza Minnelli. Does it get any better than this?


Follies is about retired showgirls coming back to their theater for a reunion party. Depression and Glitter ensues.

I've gotten to see a few versions of Follies including the current revival that is nominated tonight. It did not disappoint! Follies has never won a TONY award and I think it is time!!!!!!!!!!! Follies was the first musical that I was completely Obsessed with. My mom has heard me perform the entire thing too many times. In case you want to own this gem my favorite recorded version has to be the Papermill Playhouse recording. It is complete! Although the Original Broadway Cast has its perks too. Yvonne De Carlo, for example:

 The Original also has the kickassyest poster:

 Gotta Go! The TONYs are starting!!

Buy the Original HERE!!! Or the NEW cast HERE!!!! Or my Favorite version HERE!!!!

Who IS Hunter Bell?

So, I was going to post this collage in the last post where I mentioned Hunter Bell (my #1 idol!), but then I decided I want everyone to know about Hunter and REALLY appreciate him.
After hearing that I had a #1 idol, you were probably asking yourself, Who IS Hunter Bell? Hunter Bell wrote the book and starred in one of my very favorite musicals of all time, [title of show]. If you want to giggle EVERY SINGLE TIME you listen to an album, I highly recommend the [title of show] Original Broadway Cast album. Also, the cast has a kick-ass blog, which even though it hasn't been updated in a very long time, the archives are pure gold.
Kim and Kat even met Hunter Bell after seeing his new show, Now. Here. This.
Anyway, this has been my personal love song to Hunter Houston Bell (which also happens to be the name of my cat. This is real, people!) Now you know. You're welcome!
