Palm Springs
Tonight we went to the Palm Springs Follies. It started 20 years ago and is a Las Vegas style show with showgirls with huge headdresses and the whole bit. Sorry I couldn't get pictures of them. I could only get pictures before the show started. Anyway, nobody in the show was under 55 years old! The gals ages started at 62 and went up to 79. These gals were mostly retired Las Vegas showgirls or Radio City Music Hall in New York. They were gorgeous and could dance. The guys were aged from 58 on up to about 82. It was amazing. It was humbling.
We went to Maracas Mexican Restaurant across the street for dinner before the show. Mark got a "small" coke! We followed it up with shots of tequila but those were not quite as large.
Before the show they had old commercials and shows. They were so funny. This guy was selling Kodak cameras.
On to cartoons with bugs bunny. Great show, highly recommended. This show runs from November til April, Wednesday through Sunday, matinee show and night time show. That is 10 shows a week. Another reason I am so impressed with these older folks. That is a tough schedule for youngsters. I slept 9 hours last night. Watching all that singing and dancing made me tired........
Well I'll take this one. First!
