February Gingeryness...

First off, Happy GroundHAWG Day, y'all!!!  ...y'know, something tells me Ginger probably went all-out for this observance, as she was pretty big on varmints... and while this pic of Ginger and some varmints on her Ranch isn't of a groundHAWG, it is most definitely a HAWG on the GROUND... and it ain't gonna see it's shadow anytime soon, y'all...

Second, a forthcoming book about RKO Studios should prove to be a good read... RKO is obviously my favorite of the 'Big Five' Studios of the Golden Era...there's just SOMETHING about an RKO film, even those without our topic subject, that just seems...right. Here's the details about "RKO Radio Pictures: A Titan is Born" by Richard Jewell, from the TCM Website:

Third, y'all may have already run across this one, but just in case... a new book by Patrice Tanaka, entitled, "Becoming Ginger Rogers: How Ballroom Dancing Made Me a Happier Woman, Better Partner, and Smarter CEO". I haven't picked it up yet, but plan on it, as it sounds like an interesting read on how she 're-focused' her life after a series of tragedies by taking up ballroom dancing... not really sure how much of it actually deals with Ginger, per se, but it's cool to know she was influenced by her, as I think most all of us are in some form or fashion - There's a little Ginger in us all, right? :-)
Here's the link:

Fourth, I'm cranking up on the "Rafter Romance" review - and it should be interesting, as I can honestly say it's my favorite Ginger movie to date (hence, it will most likely be #1 on the list...no suspense there...) - for it being pretty 'low budget', it really is a neat film that moves along at a good pace, and, although you know the inevitable ending, it's a lot of fun getting there... AND, I am thinking of recruiting a 'special reviewer' for this one, as I know it's one of their favorites, too... more on THAT later...

...aaaaand FIFTH, and finally, just noting a few 'tweaks' to G-ology...

First, y'all have probably noticed the new "Gingery Blogs" feature  at the bottom right column...this is simply the 'latest and greatest' posts from most of the folks who follow Gingerology... I say 'most', because there are some of y'all who do not blog, and others of you who are 'blogging', but on a medium other than 'blogger'...thus, not sure if those will show up on the list, unfortunately. I may try to just 'link' those of y'all who are on WordPress or another format, so, stay tuned for that...

Second, I have added a 'page' to the UPPER right-hand column, entitled "Inter-Site Links to Gingerology's Ginger Rogers Film Reviews", which is pretty self-explanatory... just pick out the movie review you want to read, and click...it'll take you right to it (in theory, anyway...) - over time, this feature will hopefully be a convenient navigational tool for y'all, instead of hunting down specific reviews.

and Third....the music deal...it's gonna happen soon... just a week-end to figure it out... again, ANY suggestions on the best file player, file 'host' sites, etc., would be GREATLY appreciated!

Welp, that's 'bout it, y'all...hope everyone's having a great week, and remember...

Keep It Gingery!!!
