Inspiration for the Jersey Girl #1: Barbra Streisand

lately i've been going through a "musicals" stage; they're all i wanted to watch as soon as i came home to jersey for the holidays. not sure why, perhaps getting out of la for a bit and getting to play in the snow is making me want to sing and dance?? maybe i just want to see happy people doing happy things for 2 1/2 hrs straight?? the reason is still unclear, but i will continue to indulge in the meantime. so you may see quite a few entries on musicals, especially those with fantastic wardrobes.

speaking of which, yesterday i watched "on a clear day you can see forever" starring barbra streisand and yves montand with my very enthusiastic mother (it's one of her faves). i must say, it was crazy, but also marvelous and psychadelic, one of her best. its about a girl in 1970 who doesn't know or have much confidence in herself, even tho she has ESP (and later discovers she has been reincarnated from her past life as a woman in the 1800s. the costumes are AMAZING, you guys. AMAZING. observe.)



this unconventional brooklyn jewish beauty is definately inspiration for jersey girls the world over. so here's to you, barbs.
