Dolly Where in the World is Dolly??

OK - at long last, I'm chipping away at my backlog of D&M photos...

Hooray for Hollywood!

We're Ready for Our Close-up, Mr. DeMille
Paramount Pictures

Paramount is my favorite studio lot and probably the most "Old Hollywood". This is not *the* famous gate you see in movies, but the next one over. *The* gate is past the security kiosk and I didn't think they'd consider "taking pictures of plastic sheep" official studio business.
 
Trivia Time! Who gets the reference?

Can I also just say that this is one of the few places in the world where a woman sitting on the sidewalk, photographing plastic sheep goes entirely unremarked? It's probably one of the least weird things one encounters on Hollywood Blvd.

Did I mention I can't resist a pun? Only managed to get one semi-decent shot here. I have never seen the courtyard so crowded, especially on a weekday. Plus, Star Trek Beyond had a big photo op backdrop set up smack dab in the middle of everything, so I couldn't get a shot of the theater, itself.
 
Ran out of time and had to head to rehearsal, so I didn't make it to my favorite spot to take a picture of the real Hollywood sign (you have to go through the Bat Cave to get there). We had to make due with a souvenir magnet and a little Hollywood (well, Apple, really) magic...

Still have some images to process from the Central Coast Renaissance Festival, last weekend. I'll most likely be sending the girls along to Ann early next week, as soon as I can get organized!

I had been very fine with the ladies before a Star Trek wall. [emoji7]
But Bogey is okay, too. [emoji23]

*Clap the Palm of my hand on my forehead* should have googled it. [emoji1] only know Barbra Streisand did a great job in it. [emoji23]

Streisand's star would have been my backup, since she was in the movie. I've always thought of Carol Channing as Dolly, though, since it's her most well-known role on Broadway. When I hear the song in my head, it's always Channing's voice.

Oh, I see, she wasn't in the movie! Oh so I doubt she's known in Germany for that part. I so much love real stage plays, but if they'd play Hello Dolly here it might be with German actors. [emoji1] well, except for the English theatre. [emoji4]
And how was your rehearsal? Hope I'm allowed to ask.

Rehearsal was good, thanks! One of my bandmates is moving to Texas in the fall, so the first half was auditions and the second half was actual rehearsal.

Sorry! No - all is well. I've just been sidelined and unorganized. I'm going to try to get the girls in the mail before I head out of town, tomorrow. Otherwise, I will definitely send them on their way early next week!

Sorry to delay the tour!

Dolly and Molly had an absolutely FAB time visiting Tara in Southern California. They took to the hot summer weather pretty easily (despite their warm coats) and celebrated the Fourth of July. Lots of fun and laughs were had with Tara's band, they cruised Route 66 and discovered true Americana, and were made to feel like celebrities as they strolled around Hollywood.

They are super excited to move their journey to another continent as their next stop is Hong Kong with ImageArt Ann!! :mobibabe:
