After watching this Nicholas Brother video with Cab Calloway about 10 times in the past week I figure I should share it. They blow my mind on so many levels. So much style and they look so damn good! I've been window-shopping online for tap shoes..
I want to blow minds.
When they were younger..
Even younger..

you stole my heart! you stole my post! well, it's been sitting in a rough draft for weeks now...doubt i would have published it...didn't think anyone would find it worth reading/watching. i suppose i did go a little over the top though?! wanting to post a good 10+ tap and dance shorts.
anyway, i am in love with cab calloway. i think he is so handsome and talented. that last scene in 'stormy weather' is just brilliant. arthur; we must be on the same page! 2007 has been my year to obsess over classic tap! did you know that harold nicholas was married to dorothy dandridge? what a babe. but i think they divorced? and those berry brothers?! so entertaining with their acrobatic/exotic tap style. and who can forget bill 'bojangles' robinson?! and fred astaire with his ballroom style tap...and gene kelly's ballet style tap...these boys had feet made of gold!
man, this always gets me so excited! i was born in the wrong era...
