#IreneCara’s signature song #Fame reminds me of my high school’s annual Lip Sync contest, which I entered every year.
In year 12 a group of us did a routine to ‘Fame’, dressed in 1980s leotards etc. My friend Emah was the lead singer/lip syncer.
I was also doing another lip sync act of my own, to ‘Ain’t There Anyone Here For Love?’ from #GentlemenPreferBlondes (part of my innocent yet unerring pull towards camp), so under my leotard I had on stockings that significantly reduced my grip on the floor. It did not occur to me (as yet undiagnosed #neurodivergent) that I could or should wear shoes – to me the dance had to be done in ‘bare feet’.
The number was choreographed so we would all run towards the centre of the stage from either side, and leap into the air as our paths meshed in the middle. Except I skidded and collided face-first with my friend Lynda.
Later in the routine we each had a featured moment dancing from the back to the front of the stage. My stockinged feet failed me again and my featured moment was me falling flat on my arse at centre stage. I can find it funny now but at the time I was crushingly embarrassed.
Anyway, we were ahead of our time as the 1980s did not come back into pop cultural prominence for another decade or so. #RIP #IreneCara

I watched the film, #GentlemenPreferBlondes, through a queer lens as part of a local film festival. It was fun to see how positively, wordlessly queer Dorothy and Lorelei are. Anachronistically, it’s hilarious to imagine Marilyn Monroe wasn’t the most popular and best-compensated of the two actresses.
"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" took first place in the 1953 #FilmPoll, while "From Here to Eternity" came from behind - tying "Roman Holiday" for second. I chose "From Here to Eternity" as the 'official' second-place finisher.
Both (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes & From Here to Eternity) now advance to the 1950's #FilmTournament (to be held after all 1950's year-by-year polls are completed).
