Danse de Dior
In this beautifully choreographed gang-bang of a Danse Apache, watch in awe as gorgeous Merian Ganjou gets bossed around and tossed around...yet still comes up smiling!

C'est Cicely!
Time again for another thrilling Danse Apache! This one features a little lady by the name of Cicely Courtneidge, an actress and comedienne who has just become my newest idol! Look at her go!
How about that for some stage combat? What fortitude! Cicely started her career in 1911, performing in Edwardian musical comedies popular at the time. During WWI,she frequented those racy music halls, learning the comedy craft and playing in a variety of comic operas and revues. The fabulous thing about her is that she was able to maintain her popularity throughout most of the century, celebrating an amazing 70 years on the stage in 1971 and continuing on five more years until finally retiring. What a gal!
Here's what they thought of Miss Cicely when she hit her stride in 1918...There was about her a buoyancy and gaiety, an indefinable zest, which held the attention. With her tuneful voice, forceful humour, and vital personality, no one knew better how to get the right song across to an audience. Gee..that sounds alot like Gams Galore, wouldn'cha say? Heh.

Shanghai Lil & The Shanghai Pearl
Yay! It's Tuesday again and, as usual, your pal Gams has a ve-e-e-ery special video to share!
I'm sure I've mentioned The Shanghai Pearl before...that Tantalizing Temptress from Taipei and Princess of Pulchritude? Well, she was the inspiration for my rewrite of "Shanghai Lil" from "Footlight Parade". I've watched this fine film several times and have always loved the Shanghai Lil song-and-dance scene with Jimmy Cagney and Ruby Keeler. Sadly, I couldn't find the original on youtube but I think I've found something even better...this beautifully parodied version, performed by an array of stars from British telly. I swear, they haven't missed a trick..stay until l'danse Apache at the end ~ it's worth it! Bloody hilarious!
Anyway, my darlings, now I wish you'd take another minute to watch Gams TV and enjoy my tribute to the fabulous Shanghai Pearl! xo
