I am sorry dear but there is a queue on all of the above.
DeleteI did indeed find this fun! And I’m now inspired to rifle through my dressing up box. Fabulous, thank you!

So pleased you found it fun Ms Scarlet.

I must say, at first glance, I thought that Betty Hutton, Sophie Tucker and Tallulah Bankhead photo was Pat from Eastenders on a night out! I'm sorry Sophie Tucker...
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, isn't 1950s Anthony Perkins adorable!
Now, I must go as I feel the need watch La Cage Aux Folles again (it's one of my favourites, too).
Ha ha. I think Sophie Tucker and Pat from Eastenders would be a match for each other.
DeleteBetty Hutton could through on some mud so that they could wrestle it out, With Tallulah Bankhead as referee !
