Looks like he’s about to do some elbowing himself….

aaaah, Nice tie, Allen.

It’s not the elbows I’m worried about.

Good evening/morning/afternoon, Cleo fans…. and, hopefully, classic StelBel movie lovers….

Today we have a truly lovely poster to comment about….

with an incredible self portrait of our Queen of Tampering, StelBel herself!

See it in the Sept 5th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

Which is, as ever, on Sherpa

(Sorry, if one of you already have posted that link while I was typing this…. but my opening comments tend to be long, and I can’t race to be first.)

 

Is that our very own Cleo, whistling and dancing, as Snow Hound?

I don’t see any credits… but it looks like Cleo.. assuming the large jowls are just the effect of being caught mid-whistle.

Of course, our Queen is very recognisable…. with or without a credit…. but some of those Chihuahuas look very familiar too.

All in all, it looks great.

 

Up above, I don’t know whether Allen, as Marg thinks, is hiding in that plaid jacket, about to deploy his own elbows…. or merely has bony elbows that mean no harm….

OR … is Allen the unsuspecting bus passenger…. reading his newspaper, sitting slightly “off-screen,” next to the arriving plaid-jacketed elbower?

Allen, your jacket was not cut to be worn that way. Maybe try a hoodie?

Susan, let me get this straight. Our Cleo is whistling? She is no Lauren Bacall! I am sure she is just caught between howls in this image.

And Stel, my Queen, you look wonderful as usual!

Those elbows probably belong to Allen.

Just put your lips together and blow.

Saucy1121 posted near the end of yesterday’s comments, just a few hours before the turn,

She’s in SE Virginia, waiting for Dorian to blow in…

in her words “Expecting tropical storm winds with 4-8” of rain and some storm surge. "

 

<—— For more info, read her post.

I answered there…. but just in case you look here, first, Saucy….

 

Good luck! I’ll be sending good thoughts, hoping all is well…. and that you still do have the internet to see this.

I know we all wish you all the best.

Take care!

C’mon, @StillTheBelle. You can’t stop there. You have to NAME all Seven Chihuahuas.

Gotta love a good elbowing…. “wink -wink -nudge -nudge Bob’s your uncle”

I wwonder if those chihuahuas work in a kibble mine?

Beautiful poster ~~ love all the colors. Some of those chihuahuas look like they’ve been nipping at the tequila.

If I had a memory, I would have noticed this was an oldie but goodie. But, it seems brand new to me!

I love it all, Stel! Yes, it is a “Classic”, so I guess that means YOU are a Classic, too.

I can even hear Mel Blanc’s voices for the chihuahuas, too. Great poster!

Here is a link our son in NC sent of the current wind on the NC shore:

Work (and most schools) closed tomorrow. Not much yet. Expecting things to start in wee hours of the morning. Sounds like here will be mostly a rain and tide event with some winds. At least I can sit tight at home.

Minor winds and a few sprinkles right now. More tomorrow (I hope).
