I forgot to mention the other day  I got to see Gene Kelly in “An American in Paris!” also luv the new commercial where he is dancing in the back of a jetta… then I  started thinking of a ton of other shows that I love that are probably called  ‘classic”…..Lets see:
 
pretty much all the Grace Kelly movies… and luv Doris Day… and love the Gigit movies..my sister maura always liked Audrey Hepburn.. but there are some movies.. like Sabrina that i just  adore….

so many of the musicals….. I guess I just loved them  ever since my mother used to watch them with us…

maybe it is the air of innocence… or the way that the movies had these fairy tale happily ever after endings… or the way that gentlemen were gentlemen.. and ladies got to be ladies…  

But that brings me to the point I wanted  to blog about… I saw Liem Neison… on Jay Leno the other night… actually found this article online that day… and  in his interview.. he mentioned that he didn’t like tatoos on women… wow.. that comment actually made me admire his character even  more… i hope he is able to find someone really special to date and marry… I mean  of course…if he is looking to eventually meet and date….but his late wife was so amazing…i honestly dont know how he is going to do it… it must be hard…. when you’ve had a great marriage… or relationship….  

anyway….the idea of character… of having a set of ideals.. and values and morals and sticking  to them… like no tatoos… I don’t like them as well… Liem said for a woman it was like someone had already been there… and I never thought of it that way.. I just  have never liked them…. I don’t have any and I will never get any… I guess to me its just tacky… like too much jewelery… or too much eye shadow… but with tatoos you can never take them off..

so for me it was so refreshing to see that there are still gentlemen who don’t believe  in tatoos… I guess also in that way I’m a bit old fashioned.. but so be it.. it is me and it is what I like and kudos for Liem to actually mention what he doesn’t like as well!  

so speaking of gentlemen…and the difference between gentlemen and not….. its also refreshing to meet a guy who can dress well… not always dress for a formal event… ( but on my list of wishes for the perfect gingerbreadman…. he will already own a tux(HA!)) but seriously…. he should be able to have a nice wardrobe… and be able to wear it….

you know the difference when you see someone who just doesn’t feel comfortable in their clothes…. I think you have to own your style… and hopefully it is a reflection of who you are and somewhat  even what you believe about yourself… Of course there are exceptions… (I’m thinking of some days when even I don’t feel perfect in my clothes.. but for the main part.. I usually tend to dress conservatively.. and its pretty easy or at least it used  to be HA! ….to love to go shopping and dress for me…and i guess it was more of a reflection of my style and of who I am….   )
  
for example…. golfers…. sitting and watching the golfers go by my condo…I can see the many men and women  who actually look like golfers… and those who look like they are “trying out a style”..and it just  doesn’t fit…and I’m not talking about their  swing.. or anything to do with actually playing golf.. but just  their style…
