Rita Hayworth was one of the ultimate beauties of the screen in the 40's. No one did it better than she did and during WWII there was a certain photo of her in a nude/black lace and satin negligee that all the soldiers kept by their sides. When I began making this dress the lace reminded me of that photo and Rita so here is the Rita Hayworth Pin Up.

Someday
Someday, when we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray someday we may yet
Live to live and let live
Someday, life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay
Godspeed, this bright milleniaOn it's way,
let it come someday
Someday our fight will be won,
andWe'll stand in the sun,
inThat bright afternoon
'Til then, on days when the sunIs gone,
we'll hang onIf we wish upon the moon
There are some days, dark and bitter
Seems we haven't got a prayer
But a prayer for something better
Is the one thing we all share
Someday, when we are wiser
When the whole world is older
When we have love
And I pray someday we may yet
Live to live and one day, someday
Someday life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay
Godspeed this bright millenia
Let it come
If we wish upon the moon
One day, someday....soon
Here Comes The Sun
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs - maybe it is simple but sometimes it makes you feel better and so - just because I can - this is a freebie for all my group members and subscribers - an extra thank you to all who have sent me heartfelt emails and thank you's and just because I do care about you!
Here Comes The Sun
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sunand I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

Shangri La
Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia—a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan. The word also evokes the imagery of exoticism of the Orient. The story of Shangri-La is based on the concept of Shambhala, a mystical city in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
Grace of My Heart - PAH FEST PRE-RELEASE
This is a title from a movie about the early days of the 50's and 60's relating to the music industry and one of my favorite songs from the movie was "God Give Me Strength" and if you have not seen the movie its a must - the dress suited the title - Grace of My Heart.
Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in his wake
And if I'm strong I might still breathe
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
I can't hold onto her, God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength
(Bridge)
God if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline
I might as well, wipe him from my memory
Fracture the spell, as he becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on my shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
want him to hurt
[instrumental]
Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in his wake
And if I'm strong I might still breathe
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
I can't hold onto her, God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength
(Bridge)
God if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline
I might as well, wipe him from my memory
Fracture the spell, as he becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on my shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
want him to hurt
[instrumental]
Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength

Midsummers Night Dream
Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it, Making it momentany as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!' The jaws of darkness do devour it up: So quick bright things come to confusion.
