Go For Pinks, Daddy-O!

Grease.

Not only was it a great movie, it had an amazing sound track and it took us back to fifties when it was all about diners, greasers, rockabilly, leather jackets, wide skirts and red lips.

When goody-two-shoes Olivia Newton John (Sandy) and greaser, John Travolta (Danny) have a summer romance and find themselves attending the same high school.

All sorts of adventures happen...

My favourite scene is the dancing scene between Danny and Sandy "Born to Hand Jive" It's pretty obvious who is the dancer and who is trying to keep up. It's quite sweet...all those petticoats swishing and cheesy moves. Travolta really shines on the dance floor and the fact that his sexy slicked back, black hair and his chin dimples are on display, will make any lass swoon.

"Tell me About it, Stud!"....Watch this and take a trip back to the fifties.

I adore this rockabilly version of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love.

This kinda dancing makes me want to get up to boogie woogie and jive.

Couldn't have a post about rockabilly and NOT include the King of Rock 'n Roll - Elvis!!!

Kaylin's School Concert

Its been a busy week for us with Megan's concert four nights this week.

Kaylin had her opening night last night and I really wasn't expecting anything from my wee Aspies four year old. The last two years in a row its been chronic stage fright, loads of sobbing tears and "I waaaant my Muuuuuummmy!".

Last night was COMPLETELY different! She was a Soopa Star and I couldn't have been prouder.

KK was front and centre and with a smile that went all the way around her head, she danced and sang her wee heart out. I was beaming with pride and yes my eyes were welling up! Shut up, don't judge me....

Anyhoo, their theme was Rock 'n Roll and they'd gone all out with the decor and props. They even had some old classic cars parked out front. What a show...
