![]() Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time T-Shirt X-Large $14.95 That's all I have to say, like it or not...(I'm a huge fan of Maiden's legacy), but if you are not into metal or rock....use it as a FASHION STATEMENT. Iron Maiden it's one if not the coolest metal bands in the world, no surprise they have the coolest t-shirts also UP THE IRONS!!!! ![]() Somewhere: The Life of Jerome Robbins $22.95 I'm just finishing this book and wanted to stay home from work just so I could continue to read it. I have loved Robbins' choreography since WSS (movie) came out when I was 8 years old. I was lucky to be living in NYC and got to see some of his ballets/dances. He lived an exciting life and yet lived under a cloud that he wasn't quite good enough, that someone would discover the truth (that he wsa just faking it) and call him out, feared being discovered that he was Jewish and, and at least for half of his life, feared he'd be labeled a homosexual. That's a lot of hiding and self-doubt. And yet, he created dances like no one else has. This book exposes all this, in a gentle, loving manner so you come to love this man, care about who he was behind the celebrity. It makes you wonder if all of his fears was the reason he drove himself (and everyone else) do relentlessly to excel. It makes you wonder if insecurity is what makes for a great dancer (many dancers seem to have a whole lot of self-doubt). It makes you wonder what he may have been like or may have achieved (or not achieved) had he grown up feeling loved and cherished by everyone, confident about his abilities, proud of his heritage, etc. It's sad to think that he went through life feeling that no one really loved and understood him. Many probably did but he couldn't see that. I am glad Robbins inhabited this world and gave us, for whatever reason, his heart and soul in his dances and directing and everything else. ![]() Somewhere in Time (Collector's Edition) $12.98 My best friend, whose judgment is usually flawless, recommended this as her absolute favorite film. However, it did not work for me. In short, it's a love story with a cute premise, some interesting period scenes, and easy-on-the-eyes actors; while possibly a good film for a date, it didn't hold my attention. |
