| Francis Albert Sinatra |
Very busy week but must acknowledge the 20th Anniversary of Frank Sinatra's last concert. My buddy Dutch and I took two English au pairs to see Frank at the then brand new United Center (home to Chicago Bulls & Blackhawks) 20 years ago this Friday so will give full account on Thursday and Friday.

| Mossy Kade and Estella bottom |
The Den's publicity machine is billing The Confessions of Mossy Kade as a Roman a clef and it's launch is right around the corner in serial format as a Den exclusive.
I have updated my calendar accordingly and look forward to the coming week. Very sorry to miss the bookclub but Paris beckons...
ReplyDeleteI have been looking forward to your Sinatra story particularly because I have always loved him
Bebe, we are expecting American Alconleigh to provide saturation coverage of your travels abroad next month. The Paps are already jockeying for position. Don't drive thru any tunnels!
DeleteHow bizarre, I just (2 minutes ago) purchased a photo print of Frank Sinatra dancing on the walls in the movie "Royal Wedding". It shall hang proudly in the main floor biffy to entertain my guests.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting book club with me GSL, I can barely read at night these days I'm so tired from the packing up. It's such a great book and this time next week I shall practically be a lady of leisure in our rental and I plan to enjoy it then.
I've got to look up that Royal Wedding sequence. Dani, I hope the dust does clear soon and that lady of leisure does get to kick her feet up and revisit Middlemarch.
DeleteI'm insane it was Fred Astaire of course. I was just looking at the picture thinking about how I will frame it and I realized I have finally lost my mind. Perhaps the dust has seeped in and done permanent damage.
DeleteI do have Frank Sinatra on the mind these days after seeing that photo of Ronan Farrow in Vanity Fair, spitting image he is, body type, posture, everything.
Dani - you gave an excuse! I have the rat pack on the wall in,y very fancy bathroom. One always needs cheek. GSL, my heavenly quartet is Bing, Frank, Dino and Nat. Of course, Ella and Rosie are most welcome! I am loving Middlemarch!
DeleteDani, I do recall that Fred Astaire scene...so you don't think Ronan is the spitting image of that perv Woody?
DeleteWendy, that quartet is huge in my family. Auntie J's fav was Ella and her wedding day began (my mum matron of honor) with my grandfather 'Pete' playing Dino's 'Volare' full blast on the stereo at 6am. My grands Pete & Dodie took my parents to see NKC at the Palmer House when they were first married. Bing's White Christmas was always played during a sentimental moment every Christmas Eve.
So looking forward to reading the antics of Mossy Kade later this week.
ReplyDeleteCD, Mossy like won't take his first bow until next week. This is Frank's week. Loved your post yesterday and that adorable pic of you & sis with your fascinating father!
DeleteWell, Did You EVAHHHH? What a swell party this is.
ReplyDeleteRacheld, it is a swell party and we are so happy to have you in attendance.
DeleteLooking forward to all your stories.
ReplyDeleteT, you & Hunter be hearing a few over drinks soon. We are getting things ready.
DeleteShall attempt to read Middlemarch on the beach as long as the steady dose of Mai Tais allow concentration. Looking forward to reading about the great au pair adventure along with Mossy Kade's many exploits.
ReplyDeleteJen, we will be disappointed if you miss this. Oh how I'd like a steady dose of MaiTai...
DeleteHow fabulous a little more revelation of the GSL story. Oh are my panties just a tiny bit moist at the excitement of this upcoming event?
ReplyDeleteAnon, the Den's merchandising staff anticipated this with The Den's Kitten Panty from Den Intimates previewed here back in August.

Also, you may want to download The Den's Breathy Whisper Font App for giving your coquettish longings an extra dose of naughty.
Oh, I am certainly looking forward to this Den exclusive - you have been a busy boy.I'm almost quivering with anticipation! Claire
ReplyDeleteMy dear Claire, you've been missed and the Den exclusive commences next week.
DeleteSounds very intriguing indeed GSL.... Looking forward to hearing all about your time with old blue eyes. I shall have to skip book club. I tend to read voraciously for a week and a half burning through the books, then nothing for a month or two. Not particularly reliable for a book club member. Maybe next time (although no promises!).
ReplyDeleteHeidi, the book club is still a month away so if that voracious book-burning itch comes over you then please put Middlemarch in the pile as we'd love to have your keen sensibility add to the always invigorating discussion.
DeleteI look forward to reading about your time with ' ole blue eyes ',G! The Rat Pack definately put the swag in swagger...cool!
ReplyDeleteComing up darling Trudye starting later today.
