"The Book of Love has Music in it..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Don't behave as though you're so surprised. ^__^ You knew it was coming.

Find herein a picspam of some of Soujin's very favourite film stars. For maximum viewing pleasure, we invite you to listen to any or all of the following songs:

I Won't Dance, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.
A Fine Romance, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.
Far Away Places, Bing Crosby.
Sioux City Sue, Bing Crosby.
Let's Fall in Love, Nat King Cole.
Mack the Knife, Bobby Darin.
Don't Dream of Anybody But Me, Bobby Darin.
Where or When, Frank Sinatra.
Dancing in the Dark, Fred Astaire.
You're Easy to Dance With, Fred Astaire.
Skylark, Glenn Miller.

We'll start off with Cary Grant, shall we? Observe, if you will.



^____^ So pretty.

My favourite actress is awfully hard to choose, but I deeply adore Priscilla Lane. She has such a wonderful smile.


(She also looks terribly sweet when Cary Grant is harassing her.)

But what about Ginger Rogers?

As a side note, this is the dress that made Fred Astaire shout at her.

At any rate--Humphrey Bogart! With the first picture you get Audrey Hepburn, too, as a bonus. ^_~


Scruffy! ^______^


And of course there's no forgetting Soujin's all time favourite actor ever in the history of ever--Peter Lorre! Applause, please.






And even though I'm not speaking to him at the moment, the glorious and talented Fred Astaire:




Bing Crosby? ♥




Peter Ustinov. <33333333 He's the one on the far right with the sweet face and blue hatband. The one who isn't Humphrey Bogart.


AUDREY HEPBURN.





Grace Kelly!




Leslie Caron (ignore Gene Kelly...! I'm not at all fond of Gene Kelly. at all):


Doris Dowling.




...And we'll just fill you in with a bit more Cary Grant, shall we?



(From My Favourite Wife, actually.)






(looking stern while dressed in leopard print is impossible.)

Thank you for your participation; we hope you enjoyed the show. ^__________^

Whee, old movie picspam! I so have to show you my Bing Crosby/Mary Martin movies at some point. They're cuuuuute. And one of them is embarrassingly un-PC, but still, Mary Martin and Bing Crosby!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yes, do. ^_____________^ Mary Martin and Bing Crosby can only equal wonderful.

[bewareofitalics]

They totally do! And Mary Martin is all young and pretty and- Peter Pan in a dress, wtf?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Ahaha. Peter Pan in a dress. ^_____^

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I happen to like my men stern and in leopard print. -- ...I mean. Very stylish, Mr. Grant.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Isn't he lovely? I found a photograph of the pink neglige scene, actually, but decided to preserve a bit of his dignity.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...

Wait, wait, wait. I want to see right now. XD XD He totally pwned the Hays Code.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, for heaven's sake, now I have to find it all over again. XD Aha (http://www.meredy.com/vinbw/bringingupbaby.jpg). :D

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...Aw, he just went gay all of a sudden. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

XD Don't let him catch you saying that. He thinks he's very manly, thankyouvmuch.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

XD He said it first.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...Did he really? I saw that film last month, and already I can't remember.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Apparently--! It's generally considered to be the first non-happy use of the word in American cinema. I imagine that's the same film, anyway; how many times did Cary Grant wear pink negligee?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeeeeee. Actually--yes, he did say that, didn't he? XD I can picture his voice saying it, at any rate. ...Don't ask? :D

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Useless trivia. :D ...But I want to knoooowww.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

You rock. XD Where do you learn these wonderful things? ...

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Film class. :D It slipped by the censors.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Beautiful.

Gay all of a sudden

[weaselwoman13.livejournal.com]

Heheh, I actually have an icon of that. XD

Re: Gay all of a sudden

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

You win.

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Goodness, Grace Kelly is so pretty I can hardly speak! And I'd forgotten how lovely Audrey Hepburn's eyes were! Ach, I should like to have lived in such an era. =)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Isn't she beautiful? Saw her High Society, and she and Bing Crosby make such a wonderful stage couple. And Audrey Hepburn is simply unbelievable. ^___^ So would I.

[weaselwoman13.livejournal.com]

TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT! WHO DO WE APPRECIATE!

PETER!

PETER!

LORRE COMMA PETER!

...And all the rest are excellent choices too, of course! :D

(Priscilla Lane's from Iowa! Yay!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

<3333333333 PETER LORRE O M G. ^____________________^ <333333333333, for good measure.

Thank you. ^__^

(Eeeee, really?)

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

miss, i think i'm in love with audrey hepburn's wide, beautiful eyes. is that normal? and priscilla lane has a gorgeous smile -- and a gorgeous pout, but it's a different sort of gorgeous -- and grace kelley's hair, oh --

-- don't give me crushes on movie stars i know nothing about -- !

but i should mention that nat king cole music makes the silly werewolf in my head go ^____^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

She has lovely eyes--if you are, you're not alone-- and I've loved Priscilla Lane since I first saw Arsenic and Old Lace, always--and Grace Kelly, eee, you should see her in High Society. She's so lovely.

>:) And Doris Dowling is from The Lost Weekend, for the record.

^_________________^ Demon says "HIIIIIII! >:D"~!

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

you could get lost in those eyes, to borrow a very cliched phrase -- and oh. eee. i might have to.

-- tsk. i should go know something about them, is that what you're saying?

werewolf says something about loving you for sentimental reasons, but i think he's just singing. ;P

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, you could. They're beautiful. ^__^ She's beautiful in Sabrina. It's a good one to watch for her. -- ^___^ Oh, do.

I think so. :D

Demon says he's very pleased. Da!, he says. Da mihi!

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

i think i might have to do that, too. eee. -- ^__^

good advice. :D

werewolf wants to know who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip? and he asks it very seriously.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Mais oui. ^_______^

Demon says it must be him, since he's the dip.

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

je t'aime ~ !

well! werewolf will be taking demon by the waist and dipping him, then.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

beaucoup.

In that case, Demon will be v. awfully pleased, and probably lean back as far as he can before pulling himself back up and spinning Wreck. Just because he can.

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

toujours. ^_^

^___^ as soon as wreck's done spinning, he'll be smirking and singing a little fred astaire in your ear, demon.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Huiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Demon is enjoying it far more than he ought.

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

^__^ pulchra.

wreck's glad to please. :3 for once.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Femina splendida.

Ahaha. They have such a peculiar relationship. ^^

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

belle femme. ^__^

they're very peculiar people, that's true. ask anyone wreck has ever met. :P

you know, 'where or when' strikes me as a v. sappy ros/guil song. ... just me, is it? sorry.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

amo te.

I daresay I needn't...!

It's not just you. ^_^

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

je t'aime, je t'aime.

you might not want to -- he's known some pretty shady characters.

oh, good. :D the smile you're smiling you were smiling then, but i can't remember where or when ...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, mamselle.

Demon's track record isn't any better.

^___^ Confused time/space love.

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

^__^ veux-tu danser avec moi?

well, that stands to reason.

omg confused time/space otp -- ! -- i mean. yes. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Moi? ^_____^

V. true.

...Anthropomorfic!

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

toi~!

and they'll all end up in hell, says wreck, but he says it grinning, and then he goes off on a tangent quoting 'the wasteland.'

time/space, the word is 'confused,' go -- -- -- -- nah.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

O!

Demon finds this sexy, but this is probably because he already is in hell. He will just start quoting from Cicero.

...ooooh, let me see, let me see--

Time is a harlot, always moving about in a shimmering gown, winking as she flashes by. Space looks after her in adoring confusion, spreading herself over everything, never catching up.

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

^__^ *offers a hand*

:D :) perfect for each other, aren't they?

oh -- it's so beautiful and cleverly surreal. how do you manage?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*curtsies and takes it, oh!*

They are. XD

^_^;;;;;; I have no idea. Thank you.
