Is it already that time again?
International Women's Day has rolled around again, and here's an international woman to bring you lots of good cheer.
Carmen Miranda, my cousin and I used to try and dance along with her when old movies she performed in showed on our grandmother’s TV. Black and white TV of course, but it didn’t matter to us because we knew what colors her fruit hat were. The music was the thing.
Oh, a woman, huh? So all of a sudden you're a biologist?

ReplyDeleteA fine choice!
