How do you measure, measure a year? I would say in classic film because... *drum roll*... today is the 1st birthday of Waitin' On A Sunny Day! I can't quite believe it's been that long since I started this blog. Back then, I wasn't quite sure what I was going to write about; classic film definitely wasn't one of my intentions. You see, a couple of years ago I tried to just watch more "modern" films instead of classic film because I was sick of people saying "Who? What? 1941? I don't like old films..." whenever I talked about the films and actresses I loved. I should have known that my classic film love was just waiting to burst out again when the first few posts I wrote on here were about some of my favourite classic actresses. However, the amazing classic film community on here soon had me as in love with the classics as I ever was and now, a year on, I have a hole bunch of new classic loves. So, I thank you all so much for welcoming me and getting me back into the films I love!

Deborah says cheers!

I thought that this week I would write a few posts about classic related things I've come to love throughout the past 365 days. So stay tuned!

Once again, thank you to all my wonderful followers and to everyone who welcomed me into the classic film community here on blogspot! You're all fabulous!

Let's PARTY!

I'm hoping that I'm not the only person who gets far too excited for film star's birthdays!! Well, I only get excited for classic film star's birthdays - except David Tennant's, with whom I share my birthday...so, that doesn't really count!

Anyway, as I'm sure most of you know, tomorrow is the AMAZING Barbara Stanwyck's birthday! She would have been 103, can you believe it!?

I'll be making a special birthday post for her, and I'll also be watching a couple of her films! I have a feeling that my Babswyck ( ;D ) box set will be delivered tomorrow as it was despatched on Monday (over two weeks since I ordered it!!), so, how amazing is that!?

Today, my "rare" films came, and, as I told you yesterday, two of them are Babs' films. So, tomorrow I hope to watch...

...and I may slip in a Ginger film, because it's only fair that I remember her on her birthday too!

Later on this month it's Clara Bow's 105th birthday, so I'm excited for that as well! :) Haha, I honestly don't know why it makes me so happy to celebrate their birthdays, but never mind...

Please tell me it's not just me...
