I'm a sucker for movies that have anything to do with dance. Last weekend I watched a strange and lovely little flick called Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School. The main character, Frank Keane, is a grieving widow who, through a bizarre twist of events, finds himself taking ballroom dancing lessons. At one point, Frank is overcome by the joy of dancing. His teacher tells him this: "Dance is a very powerful drug, Mr. Keane. If embraced judiciously, it can exorcise demons, access deep seated emotions, and color your life in joyous shades of brilliant magenta that you never knew existed."
I will be dancing for you tomorrow, my friends. Because this world could use a lot more magenta.

I NEED MAGENTA!!!
I hear you!
I need some magenta too! And some of those beautful roses in your picture Joy–
Aren’t those roses great? Botanical garden in San Francisco. I’d like to be there today!
Magenta is one of my favorite colors to paint with! Dance, dance, dance! I can’t wait!
Jean — your paintings are magenta down to their souls!
Oooh, magenta… I sleep wrapped in a luxurious blanket of magenta. Think it colors my dreams, and my dreams color my life.…
Yay for dancing–if everyone took a few minutes daily to dance their cares away, to celebrate the overflowing joy…this world would be tons more fun!

What a nice idea — your blanket coloring your dreams. A lovely thought!
Joy I love that movie! It is a good reminder to exerocise demons with dance and learn to be in your body…of course magenta is also one of my fave colors!
Cool that you’ve seen the movie! It really was a delight to watch.
