A Lady of 1939 Lives For A Day

Another EFA paperdoll (with a slightly edited hairstyle). How could I resist when she is from just a year after the original "Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day" novel was published? These little ladies are fun to make with Big Band music in the background.

She thought that the movie was darling, a little riske, but now we know when to go hunting for cookies, we like it quite, quite a lot. Of course we would.

I adore this scene from Fred & Ginger's Top Hat (1938). Of all the times Laura watched that movie when we were little - this one scene got me every time, where, to make up, Fred sprinkles sand all over the floor of his room (right above Ginger's) and taps a slow, soft Sandman lullaby. It's so sweet! He doesn't mind the mess or the ashtray sand (eewww!). And Ginger is sooo happy in her silky, fluffy nest of a bed (and nightie)! Now that's the way to go to sleep... Now how'd she get her hair to stay like that? On YouTube here.
