    The Eternal Idol, Dancing Sculpture (video)

    Here it is! Exquisite, graceful, and sensuous sculpture and music inform this extraordinary ballet performance from the Michael Smuin Ballet. I remember seeing this on the ARTS channel (Classic Arts Showcase) years ago...based on Rodin's sculpture, "The Eternal Idol", a ballet sequence set to the larghetto movement of Chopin's 2nd Piano Concerto by Michael Smuin. Beautiful and sensual. Dancers: Marjorie Grundvig and Lee Bell. YouTube video by eogmi24.

    Image
    This goddamn reference referred to in my Jenn-Air User Guide is completely elusive online, and I ran into a number of frustrated consumers trying to pin it down. Little did I know that it was there on the cookbook shelf with two other Jenn-Air cooking guides. Well, now the cover is on the Internet. Drop me a line, and I'll look something up for you.

I want to someday find the perfect mate and settle down to what I hope will be a marriage that will be blessed by faith and will be a lasting union. In fact, I was reading about lovely young Princess Margaret, and she's looking for her dream man, too. I hope she finds him some day. Liberace on Edward R. Murrow's television show Person to Person January 6, 1956 Later in the interview Liberace makes some flirty comments about the young, pretty, and single Princess Margaret, implying that he might want to marry her. Royal glam and glitter enough to make him switch teams? This DVD set is a remarkable 3-disc collection of historic 1950s material.
