Download or read book Long Legs and Tall Tales written by Kristi Lynn Davis and published by . This book was released on 1965-08-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long Legs and Tall Tales is a comic memoir about a naïve, goodie two-shoes, Midwestern psychology student (Kristi Lynn Davis) who tosses aside her conservative business suit and college education, leaves the safety of suburbia behind, and hesitantly sets off to become an international, sexy showgirl supreme. Follow her into her dressing rooms around the globe, as she learns to survive and then thrive (in stilettos, no less) in the wild and wonderful world of entertainment. With a virtual VIP All-Access Backstage Pass, readers get a sneak insider peek into two of America's most iconically sexy and spectacular institutions--Playboy and the Radio City Rockettes--like never before. But wait! There's more. The book also chronicles highlights of Kristi's wacky journey from obscurity to fame, including her humble tutu and tiara-loving beginnings at her local "Dolly Dinkle" dance schools, her awkward stretch into modern dance amid the danger and excitement of New York City, mortifying corporate party performances (including dancing as half of the Brooklyn Bridge and knocking over patrons with her big buttress), musical theatre and movie escapades in and around Hollywood, homespun fun in the Ozarks as Buddy Ebsen's hottie Beverly Hillbillies sidekick, jet-setting and bar-hopping with real live Playboy Bunnies, her horror at sashaying on stage in a G-string, going overboard for love on a cruise ship, and shaking her tail feathers for President Bill Clinton. From the sweaty, smoky nightclubs of Singapore to the sizzling Las Vegas strip to the snowcapped mountains of Alaska and beyond, these behind-the-scenes, high-kicking high jinks rival the euphoria of thunderous applause. Having spent over 12 years strutting her stuff as a professional entertainer, including logging in over 1,200 performances (and 240,000 kicks) as a Radio City Rockette and touring overseas with the steamy Playboy's Girls of Rock & Roll, Kristi has juicy secrets and shenanigans to spill. Through stories of her sparkling success despite mortifying missteps, Long Legs and Tall Tales aims to inspire readers to light their spark, pursue their passion, and shine brightly as the stars they truly are.

Book Synopsis A Rockette Remembers by : Corliss Fyfe Whitney
Download or read book A Rockette Remembers written by Corliss Fyfe Whitney and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corliss Fyfe Whitney was an extraordinary person who always lived in the present, but loved her past. In these pages she tells the wonderful behind-the-scenes stories of one of the great American theatres, Radio City Music Hall. Her descriptions of the amazing shows, the lavish sets, the beautiful Rockettes and the pitfalls of dancing behind an elephant bring to life a very special time and place in American entertainment history. For those of us who were there, it will bring back wonderful memories; for those of you who were not fortunate enough to have been there, Corliss creates an unforgettable picture of what you missed. David Fisher, Author of The War Magician, Gracie with George Burns, Up Till Now with William Shatner As someone who shared the same stage with Corliss, reading her book was a wonderful trip down memory lane. Corliss made it her mission to document as much Rockette history as she could learn. Of course, every past or present Rockette will treasure this book, but I'll bet you'll appreciate it even if you never danced a step in your life! - Margaret Morley Pearsall, Radio City Music Hall Rockette, 1949 - 1953 Corliss Fyfe Whitney was a Radio City Music Hall Rockette from 1945 through 1953. At the time she was hired at age 17, she was the youngest Rockette ever accepted. Her memoirs paint perhaps the most detailed picture of Rockette life during the troupe's heyday. If you're looking for scandal or expose, this may not be the memoir for you. However, if you really want to know the history of this amazing dance line, there may be no better account than the one contained in these pages. Corliss was the unofficial historian of the Rockette Alumnae for several decades. Her personal knowledge about Rockette creator Russell Markert, the Music Hall itself and the history of the dance troupe is unparalleled and her telling of a Rockette's day-to-day existence is a wonderfully detailed behind the scenes journey. Corliss's life didn't lose any luster when she left the Hall. She followed her professional dance career by raising a family, launching what became an iconic business on Fire Island, NY, and creating a precision line of dancers during her golden years. Corliss served as choreographer and lead dancer of the "Seasoned Steppers," a dance line featuring women over age 65 who performed throughout NY, in Branson, MO and in Las Vegas. She continued to perform until just weeks before her death at age 83. Beyond sharing many wonderful stories about her life in and after the Rockettes, this memoir is inspiring as an example of how to live life to its fullest.
Download or read book So Many Roads written by David Browne and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after they first came together and changed the sound of rock 'n' roll, the Grateful Dead remain one of rock's most beloved bands -- a musical and cultural phenomenon that spans generations and paved the way for everything from the world of jam bands and the idea of independently released music to social networking. Much has been written about the band, but nothing quite as vibrant and vivid as So Many Roads. Drawing on new interviews with surviving members and people in their inner circle -- along with the group's extensive archives and his own research from years of covering the group -- David Browne, longtime music journalist and contributing editor at Rolling Stone, does more than merely delve into the Dead's saga. By way of an altogether unique structure -- each chapter centered around a significant or pivotal day in their story -- he lends this epic musical and cultural story a you-are-there feel unlike any other book written about the band. So Many Roads takes us deep into the world of the Dead in ways that will be eye-opening even to the most rabid Deadheads. Readers will find themselves inside their communal home in Haight-Ashbury during the band's notorious 1967 bust; behind the scenes in the studio, watching the Dead at work (and play); backstage at the taping of the legendary "Touch of Grey" video and at their final shows; and in the midst of the Dead's legendary band meetings. Along the way, readers will hear not only from the Dead but also from friends, colleagues, lovers, and crew members, including some who've never spoken to the press before. The result is a remarkably detailed and cinematic book that paints a strikingly fresh portrait of one of rock's greatest and most enduring institutions and sheds new light -- for fans and newcomers alike -- on the band's music, dynamics, and internal struggles. "There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert," read the legendary bumper stickers. Similarly, there's nothing like So Many Roads, which explores all-new routes on the band's long, strange trip.

Download or read book Great Fortune written by Daniel Okrent and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-11-30 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this hugely appealing book, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, acclaimed author and journalist Daniel Okrent weaves together themes of money, politics, art, architecture, business, and society to tell the story of the majestic suite of buildings that came to dominate the heart of midtown Manhattan and with it, for a time, the heart of the world. At the center of Okrent's riveting story are four remarkable individuals: tycoon John D. Rockefeller, his ambitious son Nelson Rockefeller, real estate genius John R. Todd, and visionary skyscraper architect Raymond Hood. In the tradition of David McCullough's The Great Bridge, Ron Chernow's Titan, and Robert Caro's The Power Broker, Great Fortune is a stunning tribute to an American landmark that captures the heart and spirit of New York at its apotheosis.
Book Synopsis The Real Jesus And Other Sermons by : James Allan Francis
Download or read book The Real Jesus And Other Sermons written by James Allan Francis and published by Dauphin Publications. This book was released on 2018-04 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT would the thoughtful and reverent Christian of today not give for a sure enough close-up look at Christ Jesus as he walked among men? This is not finding fault with the Gospels but with the mass of tradition, church dogma, and what not, that has accumulated since that first century and in the mind of the church obscures the Real Jesus. Yet we know that the only way to make him co-temporary with all the centuries is to see him in the century in which he lived. More progress has been made in the last generation in recovering the Real Saviour for human faith, than in any half dozen generations before our time. These sermons, preached amid the pressing duties of a busy pastorate, and taken down in shorthand by a friend, represent another attempt to go back and live anew those days with Him. The old cry, "We would see Jesus" is in our hearts. If, in its limited way, this volume will help to do this for its reader the author will be grateful beyond words. Original 1926 reprint edition.

Download or read book The Work of Dance written by Mark Franko and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2002-06-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the complex relationship between dance, work and labor in the 1930s. In this insightful new book, Mark Franko explores the many genres of theatrical dancing during the radical decade of the 1930s and their relationship to labor movements, including Fordist and unionist organizational structures, the administrative structures of the Federal Dance and Theatre Project, the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, and the Communist Party. Franko shows how the structures of labor organization were reproduced and acted out — but also profoundly reasoned through in corporeal terms — by choreography and performance of the proletarian mass dance, the chorus line of the Ziegfeld Follies and the reflexive backstage musical film, Martha Graham's modern dance, the revolutionary dance movement of the proletarian avant-garde, African-American "ethnic" opera-ballet, and Lincoln Kirstein's "American" ballet. The contributions of many important personalities of American theatrical, visual and literary culture are included in this study. Franko's focus extends from the direct impact of performances on audiences to the reviewing, reporting and photography of print journalism.
