#swingtimes

Los espectadores tienden solo a considerar la vida glamurosa de las estrellas pero los actores y actrices trabajan mucho más que cualquier ciudadano promedio y muchas veces el proceso es incluso doloroso. El número musical que vemos en la foto es de la película #swingtimes del 1936 El mismo tuvo que ser repetido 47 veces antes de que finalmente quedara perfecto, los actores se tenían que cambiar de vestuario constantemente ya que tenían que aparentar frescos. Cuando finalmente salió la toma deseada, #gingerrodgers se quitó los zapatos y tenía los pies empapados de sangre. https://www.instagram.com/p/CINuvVGLG6F/?igshid=tig8015h0z4w

Hello and good evening! I've come to realise that I have yet to feature Zadie Smith on my feed. SHAME SHAME SHAME (GoT style). Anyway here Zadie's latest work that I read a while ago when it was still in hardback. I really enjoyed it but when I don't like a Zadie Smith? However, I don't think it's her best ever. Swing Time it's the story of two biracial girls in London who meet at dance class. Only one though manages to become a successful dancer. Growing up the two become estranged but their friendship leaves a sign that can never be forgotten by neither of the two women. The writing is witty and refreshing even if the narrator is not a very likeable person. For me this is not actually a big issue because I love characters that I cam hate...is it relatable? 😁 The big problem for me is that this quite long book tries to deal with too many different topics (gender, race, dance, music, personal growth, family...) leaving them unfinished and consequently a little bit shallow for the reader. I admire what she attempts to do, I am not too sure Zadie managed to get the best results. Still a 4/5 🌟 What do you think about it? And side appreciation of my old tapes and my fabulous cds. Any Green Day and Keane fan? #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookoftheday #bookish #bibliophile #booklover #zadiesmith #swingtimes #libro #leggere #dance #music #greenday #keane #oldtape

Before He Went Away by swingtimes Ben said you were once in heaven Added, "that won't last forever" Before he went away He told you, man, you'll be okay If you go on alone Don't make darkness your new home Back when we were all together Ben thought you could do much better Than her "Don't fall for her tricks You used to think so quick But now you're thinking with your dick And all good friends point out a bitch" He had to leave when the door was closing Out in the world with a mind wide open Back when everything was given I spent his two cents of wisdom I'm broke and incomplete And our good buddy Ben's out in the Caribbean Sea I wonder if he's thought about me
