Anyone Heading to the American Sewing Expo?
Packing for this thing is nerve-wracking. Unlike a certain reality TV show, you're allowed to bring your own fusibles, zippers, etc . . . and one pattern drafting book. Oh the pressure to decide which one! I decided on Design Your Own Dress Patterns by Adele P. Margolis since my copy has prestigious roots, which must make it lucky, right?
We contestants will get our secret challenge Friday morning, shop for fabric at the show, and then sew all day Friday and Saturday, on the expo floor where attendees can watch (!). The garments will be presented and judged at a fashion show Saturday night. Oh the excitement! And the anxiety, too. Will I choke under the pressure? Burn a hole in my garment? I suppose we shall see. I will report back as soon as possible!
The blog will likely stay pretty quiet until I'm back next week. I have some fun coat and bombshell dress posts planned. Until then--hope to see you in Novi!
P.S. The last step of my skirt sew-along posts is up at BurdaStyle!

Good luck! Let us know all the details!!ReplyDelete
Oh wow, that sounds so exciting! A live sewing challenge must be so much fun. Hope you have an amazing time.ReplyDelete
This sounds like a fun event! Good luck with the challenge!! I'm sure you will stand up to the pressure. Let us know how it all goes.ReplyDelete
I hope you'll take plenty of pics of the event to share with us (or have a trusty person take them for you!). And good luck!ReplyDelete
Good luck, and have a blast!!!!ReplyDelete
Sounds like a lot of fun, though for me it would be really scary. I am such a slow sewer.ReplyDelete
Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for you!!!
How exciting! I've long maintained I couldn't do a PR-style challenge because I don't really like to drape, and nobody really does flat pattern designing on PR,(which I noticed quickly) but luckily you know how long certain details take and have a strong esthetic. Too bad you might not have enough time to handsew horsehair braid to the hem of a circle skirt..I'm sure you'll astound and delight with your trademarked style and pluck however.ReplyDelete
Good luck sewing. I hope that you enjoy Michigan even though we might have rain this weekend.ReplyDelete
I am planning on going to the expo on Sunday and hope you will still be around. Good Luck at the contest Saturday night!ReplyDelete
I live in MI and can meet you for a short moment in the evening. I'll be at the Expo on Sunday.ReplyDelete
Gertie, where do you get WAXED tracing paper, which you mentioned in a post a while back. I can't source it anywhere and have really looked. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I'm shopping at the expo friday but I'm not attending the fashion show. I've been to the fashion show in previous years-it's fun. I'll have to stop by the sewing area and say "HI".ReplyDelete
Good luck! Wish I was attending.ReplyDelete
Wow, that sounds even more exciting hearing about more details of the competition! Be sure and tell us what designing and sewing under pressure like that is like- I cannot imagine how stressful PR must be. I get the impression that the time goes by so fast! Good luck and have fun!ReplyDelete
I'm not sure if I'll make it to the expo, since we'll be working on house stuff this weekend, but I'm in the area, and I could definitely meet for dinner or a drink. Sending you an e-mail.ReplyDelete

That sounds like fun! Maybe at the last second, Tim Gunn will show up and let you all know that you'll need a second look made from food vendor items, you can't use napkins, and you have to do it as a team...ReplyDelete
Just kidding! Hope you have a fabulous time. :)
The competition sounds really challenging! Good luck, I have a feeling you'll win :).ReplyDelete

Hi Gertie!!!! Good Luck! Although I know that you will not need it!! I Wish I were there! When are you coming to San Francisco? AND when can we expect your book? I am almost finished with your tutorial for the "bombshell dress"- the lesson is simply-"AWESOME"!ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your inspiration!
Awesome...I'm stopping by the Expo on Saturday afternoon, and I hope to get a chance to meet you. Love your blog!ReplyDelete
Oh, Gertie! I love your blog and it would be such a kick to meet you and see you sew and create. Having a cocktail, well, don't cocktails always make things better? But since I am in NC, it looks like that won't be happening. Good luck and have fun!!ReplyDelete
Good luck, Gertie! I'm sure your garment will be fabulous. Can't wait to hear all about it!ReplyDelete
Best Wishes and have fun with it!ReplyDelete
Good luck Gertie!! I know you'll do just great! Can't wait to see the pics and hear all about the event!ReplyDelete

|man pages section 1: User Commands Oracle Solaris 11 Information Library
- display a prompt; verify and return a time of day
cktime [-Q] [-W width] [-f format] [-d default] [-h help] [-e error] [-p prompt] [-k pid [-s signal]]
/usr/sadm/bin/errtime [-W width] [-e error] [-f format]
/usr/sadm/bin/helptime [-W width] [-h help] [-f format]
/usr/sadm/bin/valtime [-f format] input
The cktime utility prompts a user and validates the response. It defines, among other things, a prompt message whose response should be a time, text for help and error messages, and a default value (which is returned if the user responds with a RETURN). The user response must match the defined format for the time of day.
All messages are limited in length to 70 characters and are formatted automatically. Any white space used in the definition (including NEWLINE) is stripped. The -W option cancels the automatic formatting. When a tilde is placed at the beginning or end of a message definition, the default text is inserted at that point, allowing both custom text and the default text to be displayed.
If the prompt, help or error message is not defined, the default message (as defined under NOTES) is displayed.
Three visual tool modules are linked to the cktime command. They are errtime (which formats and displays an error message), helptime (which formats and displays a help message), and valtime (which validates a response). These modules should be used in conjunction with FML objects. In this instance, the FML object defines the prompt. When format is defined in the errtime and helptime modules, the messages will describe the expected format.
The following options are supported:
Defines the default value as default. The default is not validated and so does not have to meet any criteria.
Defines the error message as error.
Specifies the format against which the input will be verified. Possible formats and their definitions are:
%H = hour (00 - 23) %I = hour (00 - 12) %M = minute (00 - 59) %p = ante meridian or post meridian %r = time as %I:%M:%S %p %R = time as %H:%M (the default format) %S = seconds (00 - 59) %T = time as %H:%M:%S
Defines the help messages as help.
Specifies that process ID pid is to be sent a signal if the user chooses to abort.
Defines the prompt message as prompt.
Specifies that quit will not be allowed as a valid response.
Specifies that the process ID pid defined with the -k option is to be sent signal signal when quit is chosen. If no signal is specified, SIGTERM is used.
Specifies that prompt, help and error messages will be formatted to a line length of width.
The following operand is supported:
Input to be verified against format criteria.
The following exit values are returned:
Successful execution.
EOF on input, or negative width on -W option, or usage error .
User termination (quit) .
Garbled format argument.
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
The default prompt for cktime is:
Enter a time of day [?,q]:
The default error message is:
ERROR: Please enter the time of day. Format is <format>.
The default help message is:
Please enter the time of day. Format is <format>.
When the quit option is chosen (and allowed), q is returned along with the return code 3. The valtime module will not produce any output. It returns 0 for success and non-zero for failure.

(Yes, really; they're cupcakes!)
Or how about this fun Tiki party?
Such a great grad cake.
Proper summertime attire is essential, of course:
Those flip-flops look pillowy soft - and delicious.
And what's summer without your favorite Hawaiian shirt?
Love the colors.
Of course, beachy summer cakes can be elegant, too. Just look at this gorgeous wedding cake:
By Betty's Sugar Dreams
(Even the netting is edible; it's made from flexible icing!)
Or this one:
Ack! Seahorses! I LOVE SEAHORSES. And these are gorgeous - so delicately done.
These cookies make me want to melt:
And also maybe have a piña colada. On the beach. In Grand Cayman. Mmmm. Yeah.
See the name spelled out in the open scallops? And the itty-bitty starfish? And the string of pearls? And the delicate flower petals? PERFECTION, I say.
And finally, my favorite:
Now, everyone raise your popsicles - and here's to a great summer!

What to Do When There is a Bathroom Ceiling Leak
If the ceiling's going to leak in any finished room of the house, it might as well be the bathroom. After all, this is one area that's used to water. But enough of this foolish positive thinking. Your ceiling's sprung a leak and that's never a good thing. So now what to do? First, identify what's causing the leak and confirm that it really is a leak. Then, if necessary, call the appropriate pro to help you solve the problem. Now go find a flashlight and let's get started.
Are You Sure It's a Leak?
Not to insult your intelligence or suggest alarmist behavior, but sometimes what appears to be a bathroom ceiling leak is really a big condensation problem. If you're finding droplets of water in more than one place and you don't have—or don't use—a bathroom vent fan (that noisy thing that alerts everyone to enter the bathroom with caution), you might simply have too much moisture that's collecting on the ceiling surface. The water or water marks might even be somewhat discolored, and that's just due to the fact that no sane person regularly cleans their ceiling (so you're off the hook there).
Prolonged condensation problems may result in peeling paint and/or mold growth, but they're unlikely to penetrate upward into the ceiling material. If the drywall seems solid in the affected area and there's no circular or ring-like water mark on the ceiling around the center of the "leak," try wiping the ceiling to remove all traces of water. Then, open a window or run your vent fan during and after your showers for several days to see if the water comes back. No? You're in luck. It's probably just condensation.
Possible Cause of a Leak
If your ceiling failed the condensation test, it's time to consider possible causes of a true leak. Since you probably don't live in a grotto, there's no chance the ceiling itself is leaking. What about plumbing pipes above the ceiling surface? These could be supply pipes, which could be leaking or possibly have their own serious condensation problems, or they could be drain pipes, in which case the water is not something you want to have dripping onto you (it's on its way to the sewer).
Is there another bathroom above this one? If so, it could have a leaky tub, toilet, sink, or shower. Check the location of each fixture above to see if the leak matches up. Water from a bathtub or shower could come from a leaky drain, supply pipe or faucet, or even from a breach in the shower/tub enclosure, such as cracked grout in the wall tile or a failed caulk joint.
You can test this by not using the shower/tub for a few days to see if the leak stops. A leaky toilet will drip water whether the fixture is used or not. A leaky sink drain will reveal itself on the floor below or inside the vanity cabinet. However, keep in mind that leaking water can travel along the top of the ceiling before it actually drips through to the bathroom below, so the source of any leak might not match up with the stains on your ceiling.
HVAC Leakage
If your bathroom is under an attic space, check for any pipes running through the attic. If there's HVAC equipment up there, have an hvac contractor examine the unit and its service lines carefully. A clogged condensate drain or overflowing pan could drip water onto the bathroom ceiling from above.
Roof Leak
Ruling out those potential causes, we arrive at something you've probably already thought of: a roof leak. The question is: Where exactly is the roof leaking? It isn't likely to be directly above where it's showing up on your ceiling. Look for water marks on the underside of the roof sheathing and/or rafters or truss members. Water getting through the roofing can travel downwards and sideways for significant distances before it drops to the attic floor (your bathroom ceiling) below. Any roof penetration, such as a plumbing vent, skylight, or chimney, above the bathroom leak site is a potential suspect.
Vent Fan Leakage
So let's assume you do have a vent fan, and the duct runs up through a cold attic space. Water vapor in the vented air can condense as it travel through the ductwork, causing water droplets to drip or run back down the duct and ultimately onto your bathroom ceiling and/or floor.
If this is the case, should you still use the fan? Absolutely. In fact, you should use it more often and run it for longer periods to help dry out the duct each time. Run the fan during and for 20 to 30 minutes after each shower. Also, make sure the duct is insulated and that the flapper on the outdoor vent cap operates properly. If you have crummy slinky-style flexible plastic ducting, consider replacing it with smooth, rigid metal, which is better at ejecting the moist air and won't collect condensate like flexible duct can.
If you try all of these fixes and the problem persists, you may need to reconfigure the duct run so the majority of the duct slopes toward the exit vent.

"She's got legs, she knows how to use them," is a line from a ZZ Top rock `n roll tune entitled "Legs." The good ol' boys of ZZ Top likely did not have Cyd Charisse in mind when they wrote this tune — Charisse being the famous statuesque dancer of the 1950s who lit up the silver screen with grace and good looks in the heyday of MGM musicals. Nevertheless, ZZ's lyrics serve this lady well.
In fact, rumor had it — as did at least one Guinness record book entry — that Charisse's legs were insured for millions in the 1950s. However, Charisse later reported that this was an MGM-inspired publicity stunt. Still, those legs of hers certainly appeared to be worth every one of those purported millions — and more. For beyond their mere sexy appearance, the legs of Cyd Charisse were made for dancing — and dance this lady did; with poise, power, and entertaining provocation. But it didn't start out that way for a little girl in Texas.
Born Tula Ellice Finklea in Amarillo, Texas in March 1922, Cyd Charisse had a brush with polio as a child, making dancing seem a pretty remote possibility. But the sickly Tula began dancing at home at the encouragement of her father.By the age of 14 she was dancing with a Russian ballet troupe. He built her a practice bar and a full-length mirror in her bedroom. He wanted her to work and stretch her muscles. She began dance lessons at age 8. "I was this tiny, frail little girl, I needed to build up muscle," she would say in a later interview, "and I fell in love with dancing from the first lesson." During a family vacation in Los Angeles when she was 12, her parents enrolled her in classes at a Hollywood ballet school. As a teenager, she returned to the school as a full-time student. One of her teachers there was Nico Charisse, a handsome young dancer. At age 14, she auditioned for and later joined the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, touring under Russian-required stage names Natacha Tulaelis and Felia Siderovaa.Later, on a European tour, she and Nico Charisse met again, became involved, and were married in Paris in 1939. She was 18. Their son, Nicky, was born in 1942. World War II in Europe led to the break-up of the dance company and Charisse returned to Los Angeles, where she resumed dancing. There she was discovered by choreographer Robert Alton (who had also discovered dancer Gene Kelly) and joined the MGM film studio as a ballet dancer. She soon began a career of dance film-making that paired her with two of the best dancers then in Hollywood — Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. These roles and others would take her beyond ballet, and into many styles of dance.
Her film debut came in 1943 under the name Lily Norwood in Something to Shout About, with Don Ameche and Janet Blair. That role came about when David Lichine was hired for a ballet sequence in the film and he needed a partner. The movie was not a blockbuster, but its ballet sequence attracted notice, and Charisse, still billed as Lily Norwood, began receiving movie offers.
"I had just done that number with David as a favor to him," she would later explain. "Honestly, the idea of working movies had never once entered my head. I was a dancer, not an actress. I had no delusions about myself. I couldn't act — I had never acted. So how could I be a movie star?" But movie dance star she would later become, and signed on at MGM with a seven-year contract.Charisse spent nearly a decade in small roles, sometimes anonymously. She first appeared with Fred Astaire in a brief number in the film Ziegfeld Follies, a star-studded 1946 production that included notables such as Judy Garland, Lucille Ball, Fanny Bryce and others. Charisse also had a solo number early on in that film. She conintued to play supporting roles in other major musicals, including "The Harvey Girls" and "Till the Clouds Roll By," both in 1946 with Judy Garland. As a kid, she had been nicknamed "Sid" by her brother who had trouble pronouncing "Sis." Ziegfeld Follies producer Arthur Freed is said to have preferred her married name, Charisse to the stage name Norwood, and he also changed the spelling of Sid to "Cyd," thus christening her "Cyd Charisse" ever after. By the late 1940s, she was getting more notice in her dance roles. In 1947, she joined Ricardo Montalban in the film Fiesta in which she did a bamba dance and a flamenco number. In 1948, she had a much-praised cameo as a fiesta dancer in The Kissing Bandit with Frank Sinatra. After a serious romance with millionaire Howard Hughes ended, she married singing star Tony Martin in 1948. Offered the lead opposite Gene Kelly in what would become the 1950 Academy Award winning film, An American In Paris, Charisse was then pregnant with son Tony and had to decline. But her big break came in 1952's Singin' in the Rain, where she danced memorably with Gene Kelly.
"Singin' in The Rain"
Singin' in the Rain was an MGM comedy musical released in August 1952. It starred Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds. Reynolds, however, was not a dancer so Kelly chose Charisse to partner with him in the "Broadway Melody" portion of the film, in which Charisse had no dialogue but danced two segments with Kelly. The most memorable of these is the scene in which Charisse appears as a tall and leggy gun moll. Charisse was 5′, 6" tall, but in heels and full-length stockings, she could look much taller.
In the "Broadway Melody" scene, Charisse appears in a green flapper dress, smoking a cigarette with holder. She proceeds to dance seductively around the awe-struck Kelly, who plays the hopeful young dancer looking for a break. As they continue in a dance segment, Kelly's character remains smitten with the tall beauty. But at scene's end, she walks off with a wiseguy gangster. For many who first saw the film, the scene with Charisse was especially memorable.
Cinema Uproar
David Shipman, a British film historian and author of the book, The Great Movie Stars, among others, offered this observation of Charisse's appearance:
"If you were in an Air Force cinema, circa 1952, you'll never forget the sound which greeted the appearance of Cyd Charisse halfway through the climactic ballet in Singin' in the Rain. The audience to a man greeted the sinuous leggy beauty with a loud and prolonged 'Ooooaah!' As she slithered round an understandably bewildered Gene Kelly, there was uproar in the cinema. Cyd Charisse didn't do more than dance in Singin' in the Rain and people remember her in it."
Film and dance historian Larry Billman also noted of Charisse's breakthrough dancing in this film that she was "strong, lithe, and drop-dead gorgeous to look at." Charisse's style, and the material she had to work with, set her apart from earlier Hollywood dancers.
Sensual, Inventive
"After years when Hollywood's leading dancers were cute and fluffy," explained Billman in a 2007 interview with The Los Angeles Times, "Cyd took dance to a more sensual realm in the 1950s." Working with Kelly, Astaire, and good choreographers, the dancing she did was also sometimes quite inventive.
In another dance sequence with Kelly in Singin' in the Rain, Charisse is cast at the other extreme of her flapper bad girl — as the elusive ideal dressed in white. She and Kelly then danced a scene in which Charisse stunned critics and audiences by including a long, 25-foot Chinese silk scarf in the dance that floated in the air with the aid of a wind machine.
More Notice
In the early 1950s, as she began dancing with Fred Astaire in a series of productions, more national press began to cover her and feature her in major stories. In late June 1953, she appeared on the cover of Life magazine, featured in the story, "A Spectrum of Stars." Charisse's good looks fit in well during a Hollywood era in which sex appeal at the box office was the emerging trend, with actresses such as Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren among the more appealing and glamorous stars of the big screen. But Charisse, with her beauty and grace, would come to rule the dance portion of that Hollywood world, and in fact, in that era, according to dance historian Larry Billman, would become the personification of dancing sophistication, at least on film.One sketch of her at Turner Classic Movies would later note: "Charisse was one of the finest dancers ever to achieve star status in Hollywood. While her acting and singing abilities were decidedly modest, her grace, serenity and earthy sensuality (somewhat reminiscent of the more fiery Ava Gardner, whom she strongly resembled) made her presence a decided plus."
By 1953, she was working with Fred Astaire on the musical that would become The Band Wagon. A July 1953 cover story for Newsweek showed the pair dancing together with the tag line "Charisse and Astaire: It's Hard Work." Look magazine also put her on the cover of its August 8, 1953 edition. Charisse had her first lead female role in The Band Wagon, in which she danced with Astaire in two routines — "Dancing in the Dark" and "Girl Hunt Ballet". The film, a musical comedy, was released in August 1953. It is regarded as among the finest of the MGM musicals, although in its day, it was not a box-office smash. It tells the story of an aging musical star, Astaire, who hopes a Broadway play will restart his career. The film popularized the songs "That's Entertainment!" and "Dancing in the Dark."
Perhaps the most famous dance scene in The Band Wagon is the one set in Central Park, with Charisse and Astaire performing to "Dancing in the Dark" (shown practicing on Newsweek cover above) and has become a favorite of many Charisse and Astaire fans. Another dance sequence shot for The Band Wagon, but not used in final film, featured Charisse in a seductive routine performing "Two-Faced Woman". However, that scene was later incorporated into the Hollywood retrospective, That's Entertainment! III, first released in 1994.
The Band Wagon, meanwhile, was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 1995. The American Film Institute has also named it among "best musicals," ranking it at No. 17 in 2006.
In 1954 Charisse co-starred with Gene Kelly in the Scottish-themed musical Brigadoon, adapted from the 1947 Broadway show by the famous team of Alan Lerner and Frederick Loewe. Although not known for her acting skills, as she did not have the theatrical training that even some Hollywood dancers did, film viewers found that Charisse gave a believable performance in her somewhat vulnerable Brigadoon character.
In the story, American tourists Gene Kelly and Van Johnson stumble upon a mysterious Scottish village that materializes only once every 100 years. There, Kelly falls for a beautiful villager named Fiona played by Charisse, and they dance together twice in the film to "The Heather on the Hill."
Kelly's character in the story learns that his love for Fiona will make it possible for him to remain in Brigadoon forever. But he is unwilling to commit himself and backs down as Brigadoon disappears at its appointed hour. Back in New York City, he can think only of Fiona and returns to Scotland. There, his love for Fiona causes Brigadoon to materialize and he crosses the bridge into the village to be with Fiona forever.In December 1954, Deep in My Heart was released, an MGM film in which Charisse received notice for a sexy duet she danced with James Mitchell. A lead role for Charisse in another pairing with Gene Kelly came in MGM's 1955 musical, It's Always Fair Weather, a film that some believe was much underrated.
A number of Charisse's fans praise her performance in the film's dance number, "Baby You Knock Me Out." It's Always Fair Weather was among the final group big 1950s musicals. Critically acclaimed, the film had modest box office success. It was also the last film co-directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen.
In Meet Me in Las Vegas (1956), Charisse has more dance scenes. In one, as Sammy Davis Jr. croons the tragic jazz ballad "Frankie and Johnny," Charisse commands the scene dancing across a nightclub's floor. She is dressed in a tight sequined gown slit to her thigh, with four-inch high heels, admirers later marveling that she could move at all, let alone dance. In the number at one point, she grabs a pistol, vaults over the bar, and shoots her two-timing lover, pivoting around for the final take, shaking her tail feather at the close.
Astaire vs. Kelly
Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire were very different dance partners for Cyd Charisse, as she explained in a 1992 New York Times interview: "Gene was always interested in ballet, and he was more of a ballet partner. He was more of a physical dancer…" As for Astaire, she said, on some occasions he was the perfect partner: "Fred moved like glass. Physically, it was easy to dance with him. It was not as demanding on me. I didn't need the same vitality and strength."
In her autobiography, Charisse also reflected on her experience with Astaire and Kelly: "As one of the handful of girls who worked with both of those dance geniuses, I think I can give an honest comparison. In my opinion, Kelly is the more inventive choreographer of the two. Astaire, with [choreographer] Hermes Pan's help, creates fabulous numbers — for himself and his partner. But Kelly can create an entire number for somebody else … I think, however, that Astaire's coordination is better than Kelly's … his sense of rhythm is uncanny. Kelly, on the other hand, is the stronger of the two. When he lifts you, he lifts you! … To sum it up, I'd say they were the two greatest dancing personalities who were ever on screen. But it's like comparing apples and oranges. They're both delicious."
By 1957, Charisse was back with Fred Astaire in the film Silk Stockings, which was a musical remake of 1939's film Ninotchka. Taking the role formerly played by Greta Garbo, Charisse is a Russian efficiency expert who is sent to Paris to bring back a defecting pianist and three commissars who have become bewitched by western ways. There she meets and falls for carefree Hollywood producer played by Fred Astaire. She and Fred then dance to Cole Porter tunes such as "All of You" and "Fated to Be Mated." In Fred Astaire's autobiography, he pays tribute to Charisse, calling her "beautiful dynamite" and writing: "That Cyd! When you've danced with her you stay danced with." Silk Stockings was Charisse's last major musical, as that era of Hollywood film-making was coming to an end. Television began winning audience share just as Hollywood musicals became more expensive to make. Foreign audiences weren't buying either. So MGM began dismantling its collection of talent.
With the decline of the Hollywood musical, Charisse retired from dancing but continued to appear in film and TV productions. In 1958 she played opposite Rock Hudson in a dramtic role in Twilight for The Gods, a film about a court-martialed Navy captain who turns to drink while sailing a rundown schooner in the South Seas with a disparate group of passengers on board. That year she also played opposite Robert Taylor in Party Girl, a ganster film in which she did two dance scenes that some critics felt were overlooked. In 1962, she took on a dramatic role as Kirk Douglas's wife in Two Weeks in Another Town. She also had a supporting role that year in Something's Got To Give, the last, unfinished film of Marilyn Monroe.
By 1964 Cyd and husband Tony Martin had launched a successful nightclub act that was taken to Las Vegas and other cities. In 1966, she appeared with Dean Martin in The Silencers, a spy movie spoof. She also had a few successful TV specials, and made guest appearances on a number of TV shows, including Hawaii Five-O and The Love Boat in the 1970s, and Murder, She Wrote in the 1980s. She also worked in theater in the 1980s, performing in Charlie Girl in London. One blogger, R.A.D. Stainforth, wrote of seeing Charisse in Charlie Girl at the Victoria Palace theater in the mid-1980s when "London theatregoers gave her a huge ovation."
"Meet Cyd Charisse"
As the glory days of the MGM movie musicals began to fade in the late 1950s, some of the Hollywood stars — including Cyd Charisse and her husband Tony Martin — began doing television specials. On December 29, 1959, for example, a musical variety show named Meet Cyd Charisse aired on the NBC television network as part of the Ford Startime series showcasing various stars. The Ford series ran for about two years in 1959 and 1960. In this episode starring Cyd Charisse, there was dancing, singing, and comedy sketches and a company of over 20 dancers. In one act, Charisse and dance partner James Mitchell did a dramatic ballet set on the Hong Kong waterfront involving a mini-storyline about an ill-fated romance between an Oriental entertainer and a thief. Another dance with Charisse and Mitchell featured a romantic story set to Gershwin's "Love Walked In." Charisse also did a song and dance number with husband Tony Martin and two featured dancers, one of whom was Mary Tyler Moore. Another dance and short sketch featured comedienne Eve Arden and dancer Ray Kellogg educating coffeehouse beatniks on the dance and music of the flapper generation. There was also a Tropical Rhythms dance sketch performed by Charisse and a dance ensemble. The show closed with a "last dance" performed by Charisse and other of the show's guests.
In the 1960s, she and husband Tony Martin would do similar variety shows on the Hollywood Palace series on the ABC television network, mostly in the 1964-1967 period. Charisse would sometimes host the special, with Martin and other guests performing. Charisse also starred in two TV concert specials — "The Cyd Charisse Special" and "Center Stage: Cyd Charisse" in 1967 and 1968. She would later explain that she and husband Tony, would often take their television material on the road, doing shows in Europe and elsewhere.
A decade earlier, in the mid-1950s, some of the Hollywood film studios had sought to use television to improve their lot at the box office. MGM Parade was the name of a 1955-56 TV show that MGM tried to use to promote its stars and films. But by the late 1950s, and continuing through the 1960s, the TV variety show — like those described above — had essentially carved up the old Hollywood musicals format for use in shorter-length TV segments.
Cyd Charisse's last film was an Italian drama, Private Screenings in 1989, but she continued working in other venues. She made cameo appearances in two music videos — Blue Mercedes's I Want To Be Your Property (1987) and Janet Jackson's Alright (1990). In 1990, following similar moves by others in Hollywood, Charisse produced an exercise video for active seniors. At the age of 70 in 1992, she made her Broadway debut in Grand Hotel, The Musical, playing an aging ballerina. She also appeared in 1994's That's Entertainment! III as one of the on-screen narrators in the series that paid tribute to MGM musicals. On December 15th, 2000, in Monoco, Princess Caroline presented Cyd Charisse with a Vaslav Nijinsky Award for her lifelong contributions to the world of dance ( Nijinsky was a Russian ballet dancer and choreographer of Polish descent who is regarded as one of the most gifted dancers in history who performed in the early 1900s-1910s). In 2006, President George W. Bush presented Cyd Charisse with the National Medal of the Arts and Humanities, the highest official U.S. honor available in the arts. Charisse died in June 2008 after an apparent heart attack. She was 86.
At her passing, there was much remembrance and recognition of her style and contribution to film and dance. "She Put The Move In Movies," said the Washington Post headline at her death, continuing — "Cyd Charisse Danced Rings Around Even the Best." The Boston Globe's headline said, "Cyd Charisse Was a Cool Classic," with that story calling her "the choreographic equivalent of a classic Sinatra LP." "Charisse had a whole different way of carrying herself, pulled-up and light, those legs stroking forward like a cat's…"
— Sarah Kauffman,
Washington Post.
Charisse, said the Globe, "expressed her persona through movement rather than dialogue — and in her case that persona was smoky, sinuous, and cool: a quintessential '50s mix of sex and poise." Charisse herself remarked to Anna Kisselgoff of the New York Times in 1992: "I think that in all my dancing I play a role. To me, that's what dancing is about. It's not just steps." Certainly in film, her innovative approach to dance, coupled with her sensuous appeal made her an all-time audience favorite. Her contributions to MGM and the Golden Age of Hollywood musicals remain in a class all their own. "Unlike the other great movie dancers…," wrote Sarah Kaufman of the Washington Post, "Charisse had a whole different way of carrying herself, pulled-up and light, those legs stroking forward like a cat's, because she had been a ballerina before she ever danced a step with Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly." She brought something special to her craft and the silver screen. Adds Kauffman: "Charisse, with those legs and that heart, was a choreographer's dream, an instrument in heavenly form, willing, smart and musical."Cyd Charisse appeared in more than 35 films, a number of which had multiple dance scenes. Throughout her career, however, she was always quite struck by the special place MGM was in the 1950s…. "Ballet is a closed world and very rigid; MGM was a fairyland," she said in one interview. "You'd walk down the lot, seeing all these fabulous movies being made with the greatest talent in the world sitting there. It was a dream to walk through that lot."
But Cyd Charisse, it seems, also kept a bit of humility about her. "I never thought of myself as a 'Star,' not even after I made my biggest films," she would say in later years. "Perhaps that's because I am basically an introvert. I knew that I loved working, performing. What the public made of it was their business. I hoped that they liked me and admired my work, of course, but that pedestal they stuck me up on was insignificant in my view."
Yet clearly, her contributions to dance and musical expression during a unique era of movie making remain in a place of high regard.

Johnson was arrested Saturday, Aug. 11, 2012, on a domestic violence charge, accused of head-butting Lozada during an argument in front of their home outside Miami. Johnson and Lozada, now married, were at dinner and she confronted him about a receipt she had found for a box of condoms, said Davie police Capt. Dale Engle. The argument got heated and continued on the drive home, he said.

By Steven Wine
Associated Press
DAVIE, Fla.–As the Miami Dolphins took the field for practice Sunday, Chad Johnson was getting out of jail.
Hours later, he was out of work.
The Dolphins terminated the six-time Pro Bowl receiver's contract about 24 hours after he was arrested in a domestic battery case involving his wife.
Johnson was released from jail on $2,500 bond earlier Sunday after his wife accused him of head-butting her during an argument in front of their home. Johnson was charged with simple domestic battery, a misdemeanor.
The confrontation came barely a month after Johnson married Evelyn Lozada, who is on the reality TV show "Basketball Wives." The 34-year-old Johnson had been battling for a spot on the team after a disappointing season with the New England Patriots in 2011.
Following Sunday's practice, coach Joe Philbin said he would meet soon with Johnson.
"We're going to deal with this," Philbin said before Johnson was released. "We're not going to waste time… We're all in this thing together. Everybody that sets foot in this building, we're all held to a high standard."
Only five days earlier, Philbin said Johnson's roster spot could be in jeopardy if he didn't temper his freewheeling behavior. Johnson annoyed the coach by frequently using profanity during a session with reporters.
Johnson's defense attorney, Adam Swickle, said an order has been issued that prevents Johnson from contacting Lozada. Swickle declined to comment further.

Johnson – who recently changed his name from Chad Ochocinco – was arrested Saturday after Lozada confronted him about a receipt she found for a box of condoms, police said. According to an arrest affidavit, Lozada said she was taking groceries into their home when she found the receipt in the car trunk.
When the two were seated back in the car, they began talking about the receipt and their marriage. That's when Johnson got upset and head-butted his wife, the report said.
Lozada ran to a neighbor's house and called police. A responding officer said Lozada had a 3-inch cut on her forehead, according to the affidavit, while Johnson did not have any visible marks or bruises. When questioned by police, he confirmed there was an argument over the receipt, but said his wife had head-butted him.
Even before his arrest, Johnson was battling to salvage his career. He was released by the Patriots after totaling only 15 receptions last season. He dropped the lone pass thrown his way Friday night in the Dolphins' first exhibition game.
News of the arrest spread quickly Saturday, an off day for the team.
"I was shocked," tight end Charles Clay said. "Of course, you don't want things like that to happen."
Johnson has long been known for outlandish antics that annoyed his teammates as well as coaches. Philbin, a first-year head coach, talked with his players about Johnson's arrest before the player was released.
"I reminded them that on April 10 in our first team meetings, I said, 'Guys, I'd love to stand up here and tell you we're never going to have a problem here in Miami,"' Philbin said. "Do we want high-character guys? Yes. All 31 other coaches are going to say the same thing. But I specifically told them on April 10 that there will be problems that arise and you have to deal with them honestly and openly and directly. You've got to learn from mistakes and move on, and you can't hide from the problem."
If convicted, Johnson faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. He could also receive community service, probation or anger management classes.
Johnson was known as Ochocinco for the past four seasons but changed his name back to Johnson after his July 4 wedding. The name was a playful reference to his uniform No. 85.
Johnson and Lozada were prominent in the recent first episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins."
VH1's "Basketball Wives" is filmed in Miami and also features Shaunie O'Neal, the former wife of former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. Lozada is the former fiancee of NBA player Antoine Walker.
