Outfit(s): I Feel Pretty, etc.

On Wednesday night I went to see West Side Story at the Adelaide Festival Theatre, hence the title of this post. I had lots of things I wanted to say about it but now I can't think of any of them. Shame on me for not writing them down, sooner! My Twitter 'review' when I got home immediately after seeing it sums up how I felt after, though: 'Just saw West Side Story. V. good. I approve. Fantastic choreography & orchestra. I approve of fine figured men in fitted clothes too. ;)' I obviously take note of the most important parts of a theatrical production, no?

Upon watching it onstage, I was reminded that I've always been more interested in the story of the Jets and the Sharks than I am in Tony and Maria's (if I'm to be frank, slightly ridiculous) romance. Before I step on any toes I shan't say any more on that subject (the romance) but I will say that, as in the film, it was the Jets I found most impressive onstage as well as the young woman who plays Anita. (Another thing to note is that the Puerto Rican accents were only marginally worse than most in the film). All in all it was a most enjoyable evening and I got to wear a dress I've been longing to wear out again for quite some time, now. I've only worn this dress once before - you can see that outfit post here.

This is one of my favourite songs from the musical (this clip is from the movie):

I love this comment on the YouTube page: If only teenagers nowadays burst out into glorious song whenever they felt misinterpreted by society...

For good measure, here is a photo of me partaking in one of my favourite pastimes (before I went out to see Kitty, Daisy & Lewis the other night): making silly faces at myself in the mirror. This time I caught it on camera.

Oh! And you can see even more of me here at Alice Jean's as the 'Living Doll' for January. 

Love,

Andi B. Goode
