A SunnySpring CrushThing

Over the past few days I've been working on a new music video with the amazing guys in my band. It is UBER fun to work on projects with these guys...seriously, my sides ache from laughter & I just never get enough. A great way to spend a day & an even better way to spend a lifetime.
Sometimes I think I'm the luckiest girl EVER.
And (in honor of the upcoming Video). A special ODE to the Ford Pinto
May it live on forever!!

Funny Girl

1968... Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice.
FUNNY GIRL!
What's not to love about Fanny?
Self depracating humor aligned with such amazing and effervescent talent.

Fanny Brice IS EveryGirl.

EveryGirl has dreams which she is sometimes afraid to dream.
EveryGirl sometimes feels not good enough.
EveryGirl sometimes feels not pretty enough.
EveryGirl sometimes feels like she will always blend into the crowd.
EveryGirl sometimes feels like her heart will go on breaking forever...
EveryGirl sometimes feels victim to her upbringing, her stature, the "cards" dealt to her in this life. ............ B U T


EveryGIRL can Also RISE Above...

Oooooooooooo & Fanny Brice does just that (with unmitigated style and grace)
R E A L, that's what Fanny Brice is.
And OH how thankful I am that she
Exists..

Thank you Fanny
without you
I might not have
known...

My Life in Technicolor

Dearest Technicolor,

Oooooooooo where have you gone? You made everything seem so lovely & vibrant whenever you were around. You took the dull dreary day to day color of life & made it POP with pizzaz and with pinache. You made the dullest frock seem one of a kind Royalesque. You made the characters I adore even more brilliant & beautifully defined. I want you back Technicolor.
Where are you? You provide for me something that I am lacking. Something I cannot explain but I long so desperately for
& I escape to you.
I am drawn to your innocently seductive charms. Do not worry, Technicolor, I cannot be won over easily by the gray realness of modernity. No, my loyalty shall not waiver. For you have brought me tooooooo many fabulous moments to ever leave your loveliness upon a dusty shelf.
Patiently, I will wait for your return.
And while I wait?

I will watch you.
...if even from a distance.

And the crush goes on.
