I would have loved to have met the stars shining so brightly above us...Vali Meyers, Peter Allen, Judy Garland, Bob Fosse, Vivien Leigh, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Anne Miller, Josephine Baker, and Liberace.
So that's the wish list...to ad to it I would like to meet anyone interesting and interested in Burlesque , vintage and charity shopping, jazz music and rollicking good 'ol times before we all turn into stars shining down upon us.
