Chicago - A Snap, a Set and a Song


Today, I am joining in with the linky party over at A Snap, A Set and A Song. Each Thursday we share a photo, a set of items, and a song to represent a theme. This week's theme is Musical, and in keeping with my art deco obsession I have chosen the musical Chicago. Well, the movie, because I've never seen the stage show. I actually didn't even like this movie because the characters were all self-obsessed, and had low morals, but the musical numbers are catchy and the sets were gorgeous.

So here is a snap from the movie. I love the costumes and set in this pic. Swoonful!


Here is my Chicago set created at Polyvore:

And this is a song from the movie. One we all know well, and which has been on repeat in my head since I started thinking about this post! The lyrics and routines are sleazy, I know, but the tune is catchy, and Catherine Zeta Jones plays this part to perfection!
( I didn't realise the clip I posted this morning was semi-porn! Sorry if i offended anyone. Have now swapped to a video of All That Jazz with behind the scenes clips, but no sex scenes! Interesting to see how the rehearsals for the show evolved into the real thing. )




Pop over to Thea's blog to see some more interpretations of the Musical theme!

    1. This film was amazing for pushing Catherine Zeta Jones into a higher stratosphere of acting. Although the content of the story is dodgy it allows a fantastic platform for the all round performer. I think a lot of actor, singer, dancers would think the role of Velda Kelly to be one of the most prized stage show roles. :)

    1. Thanks Trish! I never could really see the point of polyvore, but now with the Snap, Set and Song meme it is fun to use polyvore to create these 'moodboards' of inspirational fashion. I have so much fun with it! :)

  4. The era of the show Chicago is great for so many different topics ... art, fashion ... music ... design ... architecture.

    Enjoyed your take on the theme.
