My cousin Shirley St. Clair, from Eugene, arrived on Friday night and we've been busy ever since. Yesterday morning we had to do the College of the Desert Street Fair, of course. Shirley loved the Street Fair, but I am the one who scored a lot of really good purchases.
We had dinner (Saturday) at the Black Angus. None of us were starving so we took advantage of a "Dinner For Two" special... and split it amongst the three of us. There was still food left over to bring home.
Today we had reservations for the afternoon matinee of the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies. Before the performance, we had breakfast at Ruby's Cafe then lingered around down and wandered into a few shops. As a single woman, she's always got her eyes open for an interesting man... and she found one in a T-shirt shop. (See picture above)
This other picture is of Max with a bronze of Sonny Bono, prominently displayed in central downtown Palm Springs.

Back to the Follies... No pictures are allowed to be taken inside the theatre and no description can do it justice. You just have to experience the action and incredible costumes. The youngest performer is 54 and the oldest 83. It's truly amazing.
Here is an excerpt from the Follies website:
"The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies is a world-famous, Broadway-caliber celebration of the music, dance, and comedy of the 30's and 40's, with a cast old enough to have lived it. Now playing through May 20, 2007 is our all-new 16th edition entitled Gotta Dance! (And do we ever!!!)
The Follies has proven, beyond a doubt, Billie Burke's (a.k.a. Mrs. Florenz Ziegfeld and a star in her own right) famous quote, "Age doesn't matter unless you're a cheese." We pledge to remain true to the spirit of the 20's, 30's, 40's and promise to provide a world-class entertainment experience at every performance!"

If you ever get to Palm Springs... The Fabulous Follies is simply a must!
