Well, The staff of Gingerology is off on vacation in a few days, but a post MAY sneak into the plans whilst away from home base... otherwise, the 'construction' of the 'FilmBlogs' are still underway... I am going to set up all 'general' features on the first 'full length' film blog, Young Man of Manhattan...so, be checking in on that one every now and again, and PLEASE throw in any suggestions for the blog 'content'...once YMOM is 'set-up', then it's on to all the others in similar fashion, one-by-one... and of course, The Gay Divorcee is on the way, review-wise...That one may require a 'two-part' review... Hmmm... stay tuned...

Hope everyone is having a great intro to summer... stay safe and have FUN!!!!

- VP81955June 3, 2012 at 11:12 AMEnjoy your vacation...and when you get back, check out a perfect resource to find more Ginger stuff (if you didn't know about it already) -- the Media History Digital Library (http://mediahistoryproject.org). In its words, it's "a non-profit initiative dedicated to digitizing collections of classic media periodicals that belong in the public domain for full public access." So far, it's collected more than 200,000 pages of trade publications, fan magazines and more; titles include Film Daily, the Hollywood Reporter and Motion Picture Daily among the trades, and Photoplay among the fan mags (most of the other mags date from the early 1920s, before Ginger or Carole got into movie careers). It's been an invaluable help for me in searching Lombard material for "Carole & Co.", and there's probably all sorts of fascinating Rogers items as well (particularly involving productions she either dropped out of or, for one reason or another, were never made -- some great "what ifs").
- Geez just looked at that site and you really have to know your magazines!! (guess who doesn't lol)
Speaking of documenting films, we're long overdue a new biography on Ginger, specially now the new book on the Astaire's came out and all
Have a great vacation, busy celebrating a diamond jubilee over here, weather's not so hot though! - ...saw bits and pieces of the Queen Mum's celebration...awesome stuff...not every generation gets to see all that!
...well, ya know, I would just LUV to see Roberta put out a book about Ginger, but...probably won't happen. I would love to be able to write some type of 'Ginger bio' as well, but a) I am NOT an author, b) I have NO 'insider insight' (and very few folks left out there DO, with Roberta obviously being one of them), and c), as much as WOULD love to try something like that...I just don't have the time...
but, hopefully one will appear... the magazine 'database' would be a fair start... although who knows just how 'truthful' some of those articles were... I think Ginger and Lela kept a close eye on that, tho...
Well, glad to be back...hopefully will get rolling on 'Divorcee' here in a few days...
KIG, Kat!!!

--- - Think that would have been the Queen's Diamond Jubilee!! Seeing as the Queen Mother's been gone 10 years, we went up to London on Sunday and saw the Queen (and the rest) at a distance :)
Yea anyone who had the time and the skill to write such a book would definitely need to either be Roberta (lol) or get access for long detailed interviws!
Good to hear the vacation wasn't too bad! - The 'Queen Mother' was the wife of King George VI (the former Duke of York) she was the one who invited Adele and Fred Astaire to come and see the baby ;)
The Queen, Elizabeth II is celebrating 60 years on the throne hence all the celebrations, pretty convenient that her diamond jubilee and the olympics fall in the same year
There's already a couple of 'tributes on the market' would be nice to see something a little more accurate perhaps, not to mention updated, with that as an aside, two different books on Ginger mention that the fashion show in Roberta were filmed in colour, heard/know anymore?
And enough questions? think the interviews could go on for days/weeks even months!!
Yea, i know how nice it can be just to get away, i have a couple of days away in just over a week and then it'll be Boston again 2 weeks on Tuesday :) coming around mighty fast, then its a month of working so not quite so much fun!
The exhibition is still on right now and they did say back in March likely to last until the new school year starts, hope you get a shot at making it :)
i got some more sheet music today (a fine romance and the way you look tonight) plus the Roberta soundtrack on record so all happy here :) (despite the rain)!!
