I've never seen "Ski Party," but now I kind of want to. I'd love to know what the story is with that guy who at times looks repulsed by Lesley (starting at 17 seconds in) but ends up joining in with everyone in singing the chorus at the end. And yes, that's Frankie Avalon sitting next to him, probably trying to give him tips on how to pick up chicks like Annette Funicello. Boy is he going to be surprised when he realizes Annette stayed home on her beach blanket and is nowhere to be found in this movie. Maybe he'll get over it when he finds out James Brown and the Famous Flames perform "I Got You (I Feel Good)" at the lodge!! Unbelievable. Not even joking.
I fear that the days of smart taglines like this may be over.
What is the modern day equivalent of this? Have we not seen anything remotely like it since From Justin to Kelly? And would that even count? I'm waiting for a resurgence of musicals that feature a cavalcade of inappropriately attired women riding on the backs of their boyfriends' skis toward the warmth of implied love-making at the lodge, only to find Lady Gaga singing "Paparazzi."
But back to my original point, this "Sunshine" song is sticky as bouffant hairstyles sprayed in bubblegum AquaNet. It's been in my head for two days. And I betcha every time I look at the yarn I just bought, it will return.
Unfortunately, this knitting project must be kept a secret for now. It's a birthday present. I'll show you after I know it has been received and opened by Mom.
In the meantime, on my list which I can post soon are my embroidery escapades. It's much more fun when you pretend it's scandalous, when really it's just a couple tea towels with adorable stitching. You'll see.
But where is Annette Funicello??
