Mrs. Henderson Presents...

I'm sure I'm late on this discovery, as I am on most things, but Mike's little brother, Jeremy (who was recently featured here on this very blog!) suggested I watch the movie "Mrs. Henderson Presents" on the basis that Judi Dench's character reminds him of who I will be in the future! A quirky old lady who carries her wiener dog (which coincidentally looks exactly like Lola!) around with her everywhere and wears strange hats and big fur coats!

While I can only hope to be even half as classy and strange as Mrs. Henderson (who is a real person!), I still managed to thoroughly enjoy the movie not only for it's story line but also for it's wonderful 30's and 40's costumes and hairstyles! The whole Revuedeville take on Vaudeville has suddenly made me want to take tap dancing lessons and start wearing more sequins and ankle socks with little bows on my shoes!

I "tapped" all the way back to Mike's room when the movie was over, and went to my e-bay where I had been watching a black and pink tap dancing "dress" for the past seven days and clicked on the buy-it-now option immediately! I am quite sure that when this little gem comes in the mail I'll be tap dancing around my house in it all day long!
