Well, along with all the reviewing going on here, I need to catch up on some of the events going on around the nation - and globe, for that matter - regarding the occasion of Ginger's 100th birthday! I know y'all have seen the pic above quite a bit, but it is truly one of my fave 'full body shots' of her... she is so...yes, 'beguiling' in it! :-P But, I think it also serves as a pretty cool segue into one of the upcoming events I ran across whilst googling... see the link below: http://www.sohs.org/ginger.html ...now, HOW awesome would THIS be? It's like pretty much anything and everything I would like to see at a 'Celebration of all things Ginger' event... look, y'all, I know nothing from fashion, but I DO know Ginger wore the HECK out of anything she was garbed in... and to see the actual gowns from her personal collection...and then they will be auctioned off? Yeah, I'd try to snag one...bring your Visa card, right? Or perhaps a handful of them... AND, Roberta will be there...dang, that is incredible enough alone... I just REALLY would like to contact her somehow and have her as a 'guest blogger' or whatever... an interview, perhaps? Well, one day, maybe... ANYWAY, I REALLY would like to be at this shindig, but y'know, there's quite a few miles between Alabama and Oregon... but I figure a lot of folks there will be staunch Gingerologists, so... yeah, it's eating me up inside, y'all... DANG IT!!! :-] OK - well, back to things I DO have somewhat of a handle on - namely, the Gingerology blog. Hope the reviews are entertaining - I am having a blast setting them up, researching stuff, and just studying Ginger...after all, isn't that what a Gingerologist DOES? :-) And, it serves as a 'document' of reviews and all other info regarding the film... ...As for my 'goal' which I set at the first of the year, to somehow crank out reviews of ALL of the 70+ GingerFilms by the GingerTennial on 07/16/11, well, that's obviously NOT going to happen... I will most likely be into the 'GandF' era by summer, and that is pretty fitting, I reckon... but I'm not going to just plow thru these in order to get them done...that's not the point. In fact, I might 'slow down' the pace on the film reviews a BIT...but they WILL still be pretty frequent, y'all... and in order, of course. But the main issue is that I need to crank out the 'other' stuff that makes Gingerology tick, such as the info above... again, in the GingerTennial, there's going to be a LOT of stuff cranking up I suspect...therefore, I am going to TRY to keep up with everything... but, of course, that's where Y'ALL come in as well... So, if you find any 'GingerEvents' scheduled ANYWHERE, please inform us here... I might set up some kind of 'message board' type deal at the top of the page, to keep folks up to date - I at least could put upcoming film showings on TCM and FMC... OK - well, it's good to get all that out of my system... now, go out there and find those GingerBrations!!! KIG! VKMfanHuey ---

GingerTennial Happenings...

Hey Huey honey!!! Hope you are well...I always love catching up on your posts. You make me smile. Have a wonderful week friend. Kori xoxo
ReplyDeleteOMG I want to go there! It looks so cool! A little far from my home... Too bad :(
ReplyDeleteI think I'll celebrate alone with my sister Gingertennial by looking our favorite all the night and eating ice cream x)
*drool* I wish I could go to that! How awesome would it be to own something of Gingers?
ReplyDeleteI saw that but its far to far :( how awesome it'll be for anyone actually able to go!!
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH!!!!!!!! You have no idea how AMAZING that sounds!!! AHHHHHHHH! I wanna be there so BADLY. Oh well :(

Kori: Great to hear from you! Hey, maybe YOU could go check out this shindig...you are quite the 'jet-setter' - and could definitely blend in fashion-wise...you could snag a few of the items they are auctioning off...and you are at least in the same time zone... :-)
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend has been a blast, Blondie!!!
Camille: Yep - it's quite a ways off for me as well... not as far as YOU are, of course :-) But it seems I am VERY far away from any Gingery areas... sounds like GingerFilms and Ice Cream is probably the way to go!
Betsy: Yep - it would be insane, wouldn't it? I mean, I just have a book she signed - it's pretty dang awesome just to have THAT! Of course, eBay is loaded with stuff she supposedly owned, but it's just hard to know what you are getting there...
FandG-Mad: I really hope SOMEONE in our 'circle of Gingerology' can make it...I REALLY thought about it, but it would be at least $1,000.00 to swing it, without any unforeseen stuff or possible 'purchases'... just not in the budget, unfortunately.
ALD: I couldn't really put together a Gingery event which would be cooler, short of a film festival or something... again, I think Roberta would be cool to hear... I would LOVE to be able to get her to 'guest post' or whatever on here...
Well, hope all is well with everyone... and maybe someone can go to this and report...
KIG!
