Astaire and Rogers. Fred 'n' Ginger. The most famous dancing duo in history. Everybody loves them, including me and Crystal of In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood! Because we adore them so much, Crystal and I have decided to co-host a blogathon dedicated to the massively talented couple for three days in July. (Just a few days after Ginger's birthday on the 16th, actually!)
The rules are pretty simple:
1) You can write about anything relating to Fred and Ginger: their collaborations, their other films, their TV appearances/specials, their fashion... whatever you'd like! Leave a comment with your topic(s) on this post or on Crystal's announcement post or email Crystal at crystalkalyana@yahoo.com -- don't forget to include your blog's name and URL!
2) Since there are SO MANY topics to choose from, we are accepting no duplicates, so be sure to check the roster before leaving a comment. That being said, if someone else has taken, say, Easter Parade, you could still write about one of the numbers or an interesting production detail or something else. If you're unsure what qualifies, just ask us!
3) There isn't a limit exactly on how many posts you want to write, but we would prefer no more than three entries per person.
4) Please submit new material and not previously published posts.
4) Please submit new material and not previously published posts.
5) After claiming your topic, go ahead and grab a banner and please help us spread the word!
See you in July!
See you in July!
