I simply did not appreciate what I was dismissing, when musicals and technicolor 1950's films graced the afternoon television schedules when I was growing up. The passing of Cyd Charisse gives me a nudge and reminds me of the seemingly effortless style those women achieved.

... and thanks to YouTube you can watch many clips of Cyd Charisse et al over and over again.

And I do.

Much love
