Put on you Sunday (Saturday) Clothes.....

Last night Jim and I joined some friends in seeing a tribute to Jerry Herman--  Jason Graae was the star in a one man show.  Loved every delicious second of it--  A Palm Springs audience is always a crazy quilt of characters--  We've seen A list celebs  (Meryl Streep!  Liz Taylor!) --  Desert locals "putting on the dog",  and everything in between...  Our Saturday night did not disappoint.....  The event was at The Joslyn Senior Center on glamorous Catalina Way in Palm Desert....  The show was in it's "try out" period and was testing out it's legs with an audience.  (The price was a steal at 10.00 a head!)  What was fascinating about the night (beyond the show..) was the crowd.  Broadway legend Donna McKechinie decked out in black jeans, Ugg boots,  puffy coat topped off with a jazzy scarf-- sat in front of us.  It all boiled down to New York slumming it in the desert---  My favorite patron, his late sixties---  looked like Marlon Brando circa "Superman"---  black slacks, black and white vertically striped shirt open to the waist, under that was another stripe--- same colors---  only going vertically and with a turtle neck.  All this was topped off with aviator tinted glassed (gold) and chunky jewelry....  fabulous! Another woman obviously used Liza as her muse--  Love it...  I'm not saying this to be mean--  quite the opposite--  I think it's great when people go for it and show us who they are--  Nothing is better than a night of show tunes surrounded by interesting people--
