Throwback Thursday By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

 My First Throwback!


Wow! So, This is my first Throwback Anything: 

I decided to engage with the ongoing trend of throw  back anything to a said day:  

So, today is Thursday and it seems as good a day as any to commence to throw it back!

Therefore, here I am, in all my glory, in only two of my costumes: the renowned Charleston and Can-Can costumes, and as the Lead Singer and Dancer of a troupe, in, no less than, Japan:-

First photo: second from the left (hands on my right knee pose), centre: me, myself and I (backstage Obvs.) and the third photo: third from the left (hands on my upper chest area, shall we say).

And, yes, in the first photo I have long hair and in the following two I have short.

Well, my employer forewarned me that sometimes when girls "go out there" to Japan, perhaps, due to the massive shock/change in culture they can go mad.  However, I simply decided to cut all my hair off and colour it - what of it! 

I grew it back again!

Whilst there, I gave back: I taught some Japanese folk some English and, as well as teaching myself, I received their blessings: some Japanese folk taught me Japanese: "Irasshaimase!" etc. has Never left my vocabulary! 

Peace!

Music And A Humanitarian Disaster - How Can We Help ?! (Please !) A Blog by Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

 

UPDATE!

At least this is now happening:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64609836


Wow!  What a contribution to music history!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64587070

R.I.P. Burt Bacharach.  

He wrote many, many classic songs.  

I marvel at his musical contributions also.   Many famous musicians have already poured in their respects.

However, (and I say this with,. all. due. respect.)

Meanwhile,...

in the world, the death toll from a natural disaster surpasses 20,000 no longer with us:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-europe-64565412

Where and when is the "Band Aid" to raise funds for The Red Cross, Oxfam etc. going to happen ?!

Get on it musicians, etc. !

As, if I am to, as a (local) musician, busk for charity to fundraise, yet again, the process, via the Council is thus, nowadays:  

go to the Council, ask for forms, wait, indefinitely it seems, to request days, that 'could' be available to fundraise, for charities, such as the aforementioned, for example.

Just a few of the fundraising events I have done:

Don't Mess With My Tutu! (aka toot toot)

Becos I Like It Like This!


Happy World Tutu Day!

Decided to make a prior blog relevant for A Day For Everything!

Did you know?! Originally a tutu meant trousers that were worn underneath the skirt/costume, like an underskirt, but in the form of trousers.
