Twenty-nine years ago tonight, 11/14/96, our revival of CHICAGO opened on Broadway.
Happy Birthday CHICAGO💙
Two women dancers holding silver tipped canes, wearing bowler hats, tuxedo jackets over tiny black dresses, and silver shoes with rhinestone buckles. They’re giggling together.

Celebrating Ann Reinking on her birthday with this astonishing Jack Mitchell photo. Annie was elegant, intelligent, hilarious, bawdy, ferocious, silly, empathetic, and deep as the ocean. 💔💜
A very beautiful white woman with impossibly long legs, kicking one of them high above her head. It’s not an athletic feat; it’s a gesture of elegance and joy.

Doing it right in the West Village.
A NYC brownstone facade adorned with Halloween decorations and figures. 5 witches made of black tulle, skeletons, skulls, haunted human baby dolls, etc. Creepy and very well art-directed.

Even winning this year’s Halloween costume prize couldn’t ease Carol’s existential ennui. “Another October, another ghost, another shiny prize. Maybe a pig’s ear would cheer me. Ah nuts, who am I kidding.”
Cute light beige dog dressed as a Halloween ghost.

This story is developing nicely.
Tall tree in an urban backyard, its golden and red foliage continuing to show more and more.

All I see is a Cinderella/Halloween crossover. I like it.
Large orange pumpkin on the steps of an old building. On top of the pumpkin is a tiny pink (surprisingly life like) toy mouse looking quite lively.

Breaking news: Fall foliage reaches NYC backyards.
More on this story as it develops.
Tall green tree behind apartment buildings in an urban setting. The very top leaves of the tree have been kissed by the beginnings of Autumn, and have turned golden.

Strolled alongside these champions. . .

Carol thought a sun hat might help. It didn’t.
Fluffy, reclining, light beige dog, wearing white rimmed sunglasses, a yellow and green crotched hat, and a world-weary expression.

It’s been a while, so here she is.
Extreme close up of a long haired calico cat’s face. (Orange, black, and white.) She looks both jaded and disappointed.

#NationalCoffeeDay you say?
⭐️Gotham Coffee⭐️ in Flatiron District, NYC
Or - gothamroasters.com ships anywhere in the US.
Looking through the storefront window of Gotham Coffee Roasters, a white man with gray haired ponytail sits at a table looking toward us. It’s a very pleasant little coffee house with round white marble tables.
