Thank you, Rebecca, for sharing this inspiring video and artist on your blog as a part of Wishcasting. It makes me want to play, move and paint.

Inspiration... John Southworth

I hope you enjoy this quirky little beauty as much as I do. May the thought that "life is unbelievable" send you off into a truly amazing weekend.

Inspiration... The Weepies

Since I started blogging, I've heard of The Weepies. In fact, ven though I had never heard a song until recently, I've come to think of them the unofficial band of creative bloggers! Recently for my DIY Entertainment Club, I decided to dive in and give them a try. I've been listening and singing ever since. On their website I found that they had recently held a contest to create a video for Hideaway. I watched the one above and was just filled to overflowing with joy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

PS More entries show after the first video but I'm really sharing the one with the stars.

Enjoying Eartha Kitt

Thank you so much, Shell, for posting this video on your blog. I hope the rest of you good girls enjoy it as much as I did!

A Song for My Sisters

Party Train by the Gap Band

Several years ago now I used to do a lot of clubbing and there was a real retro revival going on, particularly of the '80s. We can certainly see that now in fashion. And as an aside, I will not be wearing neon, or baggy T-shirts with tights any time soon (though "Peter Pan getaway boots," maybe, hehe). One of the things I noticed with the retro music was that it was primarily New Wave music that was getting lots of play and there were many, many things that were getting left out.

I stumbled across this video by the Gap Band and it took me immediately back to a particular time and place in our household. We taped videos like fiends with tapes named things like "Videos," "More Videos," "Even More Videos," "Can You Believe It? Even More Videos." And this one got a lot of play. So I'm sharing it with my sisters, Suzie and Shannon, so they can get a little groove on today. Feel free to dance along!
