State Fair

No, not the movie–although it would be seasonally appropriate to watch it right now, just like Picnic–but the actual event. I’m entering the happy dress and the vortex of craft top and I’m tempted to tell the ladies who take your entry that both my projects are named.

  1. I dropped off my fair pieces, which included a pict of myself and the ‘maids. The woman at the check-in said, “Is the tall one an actress??” she was very taken with you 🙂

    Then as we were setting up the dummy we walked past your fantastic entries and I pointed them out to the coterie that was following me.

  2. I do wish there was a local theatre that had the guts to program some of these old flicks. That’s the kind of thing a guy could ask a girl to accompany him to without feeling sleazy. I suppose there aren’t enough guys around who would take a girl to something like this to make it worthwhile for the theatre. Shame.

  3. Do you prefer the earlier version or the later with Pat Boone, Bobby Darin, and Ann Margaret?

    Me, I prefer the earlier. It’s sweeter and more in keeping with the theme of the movie (or at least what I want to think the filmmakers were striving for)…and my idealization of state fairs in general. Plus pulling in big-name talent for the latter casts a very Hollywood sheen on a film that’s better off without it.

    Although the latter does have better music. Probably due to the aforementioned big-name talent.
