Bye Bye Annette

Darlings, I was so sad to hear of Annette Funicello's passing today...she was always sort of an idol of mine as a child growing up in the 60's...so R.I.P. Annette...and thanks for taking your part in molding me into the charming, smiling, delightfully talented and unassuming character I am today!!!!

Now, chances are, you didn't grow up watching the original Mickey Mouse Club like I did, so you probably have no idea that Annette had an actual series of her own that was featured in the show...and I can't wait to share it with you now!!

So, the premise is, Annette moves into a new house in a new town (see Episode 1) and mildly humorous, heartwarming adventures ensue...but I thought I'd skip the preliminaries and go directly to MY favorite episode, THE ESCORT, in which she crops her dreary hair and puts something on besides the horrible lacy frock she's been wearing all this time (see Episode 1) in order to 'debut' at a party, escorted by a pre-teen, would-be hoodlum! You're gonna love it, I just know...Enjoy!



See? Now you're dying to watch the next episode...and probably the entire mini-series, right?
