Like making brownies and using expired coupons at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
During Labor Day weekend, it is watching the film, Picnic.
Every year, I sit and watch as the length of Kim Novak's hair goes from longer to shorter, then back to longer and wonder why they didn't get her better hair extensions.
Kim and William Holden are the focus characters, but Ms. Rosalind, as the 'old-maid' (not my words) school teacher, owns that flick.
She puts everyone else to shame with her acting chops. When she talks about showing her pink panties and hunkers down in that car and takes a swing out of that bottle in a brown paper bag, she showed those young snips how to do it.
Marveling at how they dressed for a picnic, makes me want to attend an ordinary al fresco shindig where it is ties for the guys and dresses for the gals.
But, most of all, I wait for it.
I love it.
That song.
That dance.
Now, I'm off to find a cocktail dress, the song Moonglow and a can of beanie-weinies.
I'm throwing a PICNIC!
Over-and-Out!
I love picnics!!
