Musical Monday: Gypsy

Musical Monday: Grease

Grease is probably in the top 3 list of my most watched/loved movies ever. I thought about not using it for Musical Mondays since most people have probably seen it, but tonight the mood just struck. :)

Musical Monday: Darling Lili

Musical Monday: Cinderella

Musical Monday: Mary Poppins

I'm declaring it "Julie Andrews July" so I hope everyone who reads my blog loves her as much as I do

Musical Monday: Chicago

Musical Monday: Little Shop of Horrors

This is one of the very few movie remakes that I think is better than the original. I watched this all the time when I was little, and I'm sure it's one more movie that helped plant the "vintage seed" in my head. Just so people know, this movie IS on Netflix instant play for now :D

Musical Monday: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

I had never heard of this musical until last week when I bought the record because the cover looked cool. Strangely enough, the very next day, it popped up on suggested movies that I might like on Netflix. To be honest, I thought the actual movie was pretty boring, but I loved the musical numbers, and all the 1960s style dresses. It was still worth watching.

This is from a Japanese version of the play. I thought that was pretty cool, and different

(Early) Musical Monday: Cry Baby

I will be out of town until Tuesday so I figured I would do my Musical Monday post early.

Musical Monday: Forever Plaid

There was a version of Forever Plaid on TV this weekend. Unfortunately I missed the first one, and the second one was on at 4am. I am a severe night owl, and am usually up that early (or late?), but this was one of the few occasions I wasn't going to be up that late because of work. Oh well.

Musical Monday: Annie

Musical Mondays: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

This post is brought to you by insomnia, and getting studying out of the way early!

Musical Mondays: Oklahoma

Vintage Shopping Today!

I was visiting home this weekend, and mentioned that Exile was closing at the end of the month. Before I went back to my apartment, my Mom gave me some extra money and said that I HAD to spend it on stuff from Exile (or whatever other vintage store) and that sometimes buying awesome stuff was just as important as buying groceries. THANK'S MOM!

A friend of mine came to visit today, so we went shopping! She had never been to a vintage store, so I was happy to take her to some! I got this great train case from Exile, and another record from a vintage book store. I found some great dresses and skirts at different places, but they were all way too small...Ah the major downside of big boobs and being tall. ;) The train case is a little dirty on the inside, but other than that, it's in great shape! I love the egg shape of it. Plus it's the same blue as some of the luggage I bought a while ago, so even better. I need to dress up super fancy and go take a train trip somewhere!







I can't believe I'm finally able to say this, but I officially have 50 followers! I have to say that 50 is about 48 more than I was ever expecting! That might not seem like a lot to some people, but I'm super excited. I will be doing a give-a-way at some point, so stay tuned! Thanks for following everyone!

Musical Monday: Bye Bye Birdie

I think I'm going to stop including summaries of the movies that I pick for Musical Mondays. I don't really like writing them, and I'm not particularly good at it. Plus with a lot of these, I haven't actually seen the movie or play, I just like the soundtrack. So from now on, enjoy the fun songs, and pretty videos. :)

Musical Monday: Guys and Dolls

I've only ever seen Guys and Dolls in play form, but I do have the soundtrack to the movie. It's basically about gambling and love. I love Lauren Graham, but I was surprised when I found out that she was in this play. I don't know how that got passed me. Here is a clip of her singing, and another clip from another play. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the outfit in the first clip.

Musical Monday: The Harvey Girls

Has anyone noticed that I've been on a huge Judy Garland kick? She's in this, along with Angela Lansbury. Judy Garland's character is going West to become someone's wife. That doesn't work out so she becomes a Harvey Girl (waitress) and ends up in a feud with the other saloon girls.



That song is kind of long, so I'm only going to post one video today. There is also the most amazing fight scene between Judy Garland and Angela Lansbury. That was my favorite part of the movie!

Musical Monday: The Pirate

I'm not sure when this was supposed to be set in, but the costumes are amazing. And it's hard to go wrong with a movie starring Gene Kelly and/or Judy Garland. I got this movie for my birthday a few months ago. I finally watched it with my sister and a friend who was in town.

Musical Monday: Peter Pan

Mary Martin's version of Peter Pan is the best one out there, hands down. That's all that really needs to be said about this movie :D

(Early) Musical Monday: Damn Yankees

This is early because I'm leaving for D.C. in the morning. If I wait until tomorrow morning to post, I will most certainly forget.

I almost didn't give this movie/play a chance. Who cares about baseball? Not me. Then one night a friend of mine had an extra ticket to see it live, so I went. The main story is about a guy who gives his soul to the Devil so he could play baseball and beat the Yankees. I loved it so much that I came home and immediately bought the movie and the soundtrack. I chose two songs from the movie, and one from a live version.
