First - the old Mac died right after the announcement in last post that we'd be posting much more often. Second - the new Mac goes faster than I can think. Third - below is Jane in 1959; here is Jane tweeting in 2013. Fourth - here is Reading Vintage Vogues following Jane Fonda on Twitter. Fifth - Jane Fonda has not yet replied to a query about the remarkable hamster skirt. Could she have forgotten? Sixth - here is my maiden tweet.
This time: People Are Talking About . . . some more family blogging about the Metropolitan Opera.
Nothing much is going to work right on this page. DVD of Wild Strawberries on the way; The Four Seasons web page won't load because this computer has no Adobe Flash; photos for The Light of Common Day trapped in the old Mac.
The Metropolitan Opera - beautiful in the snow, seats at the very back of the balcony perfectly fine, Rat Pack Rigoletto a lot of fun, especially since I had seen the same Rigoletto in San Francisco in September for my first opera. The Met brought out astonishing facet of normally frugal son - if there is nothing but hideously expensive sandwiches and champagne for dinner, then one simply must follow up with even more expensive cognac. Especially rocked the Walmart camo jacket among the toffs at the bar. Helps that he looks a bit like Justin Timberlake these days.
But what are People Talking About in 1959?
". . .Two Metropolitan Opera singers, Giulietta Simionato whose voice has a rich colour which she shades superbly, and Antonietta Stella, doing again Madame Butterfly, her voice warm, flowing, tender, and Italian; her gestures freshly Japanese; her walk pigeon-toed, with knees together; her body curved properly into an elongated 'S'. . ."
Giulietta Simionato --
And Antonietta Stella --
Next time - Wild Strawberries and The Four Seasons. Still on the same page. . .
