Times running out!!

G Lady's list:

Button Factory Open Studios - check (open through Sunday night)
Secured tickets for "Christmas Carol" at Seacoast Repertory Theatre - check
For "Christmas Carol" with a twist at Players Ring - you betchya

Waiting by the door in hat and gloves till it's time to head out for tonight's performance of "Striking Twelve" at the Music Hall - Without a doubt!!!

Gossip Lovers:

Do not. I repeat - do not - miss this. If you love a great story, intelligent, witty lyrics, music the gods pass the time with, well - I said it last year and I say it again - GrooveLily, the band that makes this happen, is NOT TO BE MISSED!

This is some of the finest, tightest performance/band/musical (jazz, rock, pop and showtune) in one cohesive, delightful tale. The Music Hall has it listed as the "anti-holiday show with Seinfeldesque humor."

I'm goin' with the latter and questioning the former. Sure it has a disgruntled guy tired of the holidays, but this show shows more of the season's original intent than most. It's touching, funny, interesting and thoughtprovoking.

All that AND some of the finest musicianship you're likely to catch anywhere, anytime, holiday or not.

Okay I'm gushing. But I'm doing it for your own good. It's true. Do yourself a favor. Catch this one-night show tonight - then let's consider launching a fan club ?

Yours in art and love of GrooveLily

Hair & the Painter

Greetings Gossip Lovers

Well prom season is nearly upon us. And in honor of that wonderful right of passage –long passed for a few of us – I thought I’d rustle up a few good shots of folks you know, hand them on for a walk down memory lane and maybe a few chuckles.

Here’s the first brave soul. Know who it is?

Well she currently is the core to “Influences” an exhibition at the Kittery Art Association, up through the end of the month. “Influences” features a few pieces of her work and that of nearly two-dozen of her former and current students.

Some of the students started studying with her as far back as 1976; I dare say this photo has a few additional years on it, hum? : ) The hair is a dead giveaway.

Photo two is not a shot from the after-party; this is pre “The Britney Years.” It was taken for use in creating the artwork for the cover of a paperback novel. (She says she can’t remember the book’s title. Um hum).

Anyway, this painter exhibits throughout New England, is a member of the Copley Society, and was one of its featured artists in last summers show. She currently has work at the Kennedy Gallery downtown.

So who is our lovely model? The Button Factory’s own Pamela duLong Williams.

SOOO jealous of the hair.

Anyway folks, send the G Lady your prom photos would you. About mid May I’ll give a prize to the owner of my favorite image. Could be a hat, pair of white gloves, a boa – not telling yet.

Yours in memory of gym gems past,

Gossip Lady
