Today I have some famous V's to share with you!
How about Frankie Valli from the vintage group Frank Vallie and the Four Seasons. They sang cool songs like "Cheri", "Walk Like A Man: and "Big Girls Don't Cry".
While we are on the letter "V" and famous people, places and things how about some vinyl for the vintage folks out there! I loved my vinyl album collection and was sad when the 8 track tape replaced all my cool albums! I wish I still had them. A full collection of Johnny Mathis, The Bee Gees and Dolly Parton! How's that for some variety in your life?
Like how about a Valley Girl? Like rad or what dude! Alicia Silverstone in the kooky, quirky and very funny movie "Clueless". Like wow!
Do you recall George Washington at Valley Forge from your school history dazes! It was the site of the camp of the American Continental Army over the winter of 1976-1777 in the American Revolutionary War.
Have you ever been to the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas? I was fortunate enough to stay there during a Princess House convention several years ago . The hotel was brand new and we were given the most magnificent suites with marble tubs and walk in showers that were encased by glass doors. It was heaven on earth for a few days. Then home to my tiny little bathroom with bad grouting! Ha Ha!
Here is a double V for you! Vincent Van Gogh. The brilliant but troubled painter lived and died March 30 1853 to July 29, 1890. He is considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt, though he had little success during his lifetime. I own a lovely print of his artwork "Sunflower". They say he cut off his own ear because he probably suffered from tinnitus (ringing of the ear) and it drove him mad!
