wow - another very impressive week ahead! thank you very much for all the work you do, Dawn!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Irene. Also, thank you for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a pleasure, Dawn. (and I am not "just polite" with saying this.)
ReplyDeleteDawn, THAT SWINGIN' SUMMER is a fun teen pic in the spirit of the BEACH PARTY movies (except I think it takes place in Lake Tahoe). Raquel wears glasses and her hair in a bun throug 99% of the film--we're supposed to be surprised that she's pretty when she takes them off at the end!
ReplyDeleteRick, I will look for the Raquel film, THAT SWINGIN' SUMMER. I really like the Beach Party Movies. Thank you for telling me about it. I will try and be surprised when Raquel, takes off her glasses and lets her hair down. :)
