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.

World Tutu Day! A Blog by Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

  

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.

"Dancin' in the Street!" By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

Once upon a time,...

I shall always remember dancing a dance routine to David Bowie and Mick Jagger's 'Dancin' in the Street' and although only about maybe age eleven then I can still recall some of the steps today!

This was prior to attending Stage School and at the time I as attending The King School of Dancing, Southport.  

Mrs June Evans and Mandy Evans taught us, the latter teaching us the said dance in Modern.  

I shall always remember all of my brilliant teachers.

At the end of 2022, due to an impromptu meeting, I got to 'model' for a photographer, who mostly focuses on street photography.

This was the first time we had ever met, but we started a conversation and I started doing some dancing in the street while he clicked away.  

Fresh faced, there was no preparation for this photo sesh, however I've arranged these pics into a collage type presentation.  

Enjoy!
