Bridget is back.
My three favorite things from this week:
Being on Walk-Ins Welcome - What a fun and exciting experience.
The Shanghai-Las - The Girl Group era is so much fun. Dramatic songs about betrayal, kissing, and candy stores. The Shagri-Las took this formula to a whole new level.
Crime Wave (1954) - Film Noir is a blast, and Crime Wave is the perfect example. A wild story from start to finish. The actor Sterling Hayden is mesmerizing here, and his life story is well worth a late-night Wikipedia dive.
