Awww no! Owner of the million-pound legs, MGM Musical star and serial name-changer Cyd Charisse, died yesterday. You know, the amazing dame who shot to fame after she did the dance in the green dress opposite Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain.
This clip shows her getting fruity with French underwear in bizarre cold war musical Silk Stockings (which also stars Peter Lorre as a Russian spy). Be sure to click on the "video response" for a closer look at the corsetry.
Ah, Cyd Charisse. She was immortalised in rhyme, by a friend of mine:
Cyd Charisse
She sits upon the mantlepiece
It came as quite a shock
I thought she was a clock
[Rhyme by Howard Dietz - who isn't, for clarity's sake, actually a friend of mine]

Every morning before work, my poor old housemate has to dodge about the lounge toast in hand as I sprawl and roll from sofa to sofa.
The crumbs get everywhere.
However, I may be able to slip off earlier, or if very unluckly, later. I'll text you before I set off and you can expect me 3 hours from the text (assuming no dreadful traffic on the M6.)
If by chance I do arrive very early before anyone is around I'll bimble about.
