Boy am I in a good mood! I'm going up UP UP on the musical ladder and I'm loving every bit of it. Us Perennial Favorites had our first little gig on the streets of Amsterdam and that tasted like more. So Stringstien and I went steppin' out to a great Lindyhop dancing party. We danced the night away with some guys from across the canal and some boy with a baguette up his trousers. Feeling cheeky and in the mood for some more singin', I asked Bernard Berkhout if I could sing a tune or two with his quintet. And I could! I sure showed that crowd how to bring it on home ;). Anyway, check those cats out. They're amazing!
And here's a little secret I'm going to share with you. Paul 'the Young Sinatras' van Kessel said YES to my request to do a duet with him. Keep an eye out for that on my MySpace.
A few nights later, alone on my couch, dreaming about the Really Cute Guy I'm seeing, I was watching Paul Verhoeven's film Zwartboek. Carice van Houten looks like a million dollars and the set dressing is simply gorgeous!
Be sure to check out the review I wrote for Boppin' Around on a new book with instructions for 40's hairdo's. I might try one out myself before next sunday. I'm taking the Really Cute Guy to Radio Modern you see. And I gotta get me an outfit, too! Life can be such a drag sometimes, especially during the summer, when the nights are long and hot and dark....
Off to bed I am. I've a long day of curling and combing ahead of me.
A BIG LucyLicious kiss for all of you
Miss Lucy
