Princess Catherine MY FAIR LADY

 

Act I[edit]

In Edwardian London, Eliza Doolittle is a flower girl with a thick Cockney accent. The noted phonetician Professor Henry Higgins encounters Eliza at Covent Garden and laments the vulgarity of her dialect ("Why Can't the English?"). Higgins also meets Colonel Pickering, another linguist, and invites him to stay as his houseguest. Eliza and her friends wonder what it would be like to live a comfortable life ("Wouldn't It Be Loverly?").


BRILLIANT! 

William called Princess Catherine 

Duchess Doolittle! 

Catherine full name

Catherine Elizabeth Middleton

The Royal Family has indeed a very strange sense of humor! 




Eliza's dustman father, Alfred P. Doolittle, stops by the next morning searching for money for a drink ("With a Little Bit of Luck"). Soon after, Eliza comes to Higgins's house, seeking elocution lessons so that she can get a job as an assistant in a florist's shop. Higgins wagers Pickering that, within six months, by teaching Eliza to speak properly, he will enable her to pass for a proper lady.

Princess Catherine has not been seen for six months. 

December 25 2023 last time Catherine was seen in public. 

For her first public tryout, Higgins takes Eliza to his mother's box at Ascot Racecourse ("Ascot Gavotte"). Though Eliza shocks everyone when she forgets herself while watching a race and reverts to foul language, she does capture the heart of Freddy Eynsford-Hill. Freddy calls on Eliza that evening, and he declares that he will wait for her in the street outside Higgins' house ("On the Street Where You Live").


It is difficult to discuss George Cukor's 1964 film as it actually exists because, even now, an impenetrable thicket of legend and gossip obscures its greatness. Many viewers would rather discuss the film that wasn't made, the one that would have starred Julie Andrews, who made the role of Eliza her own on the stage. Casting Audrey Hepburn was seen as a snub of Andrews, and so it was; producer and studio head Jack L. Warner chose Hepburn for her greater box-office appeal, and was prepared to offer the role to Elizabeth Taylor if Hepburn turned it down.

so many actors auditioned for the part of MY FAIR LADY but Julie Andrews made it her own on broadway, where there are no cameras. 






Duchess Doolittle! Shame on you William!

Matthew 4

Matthew 4  A bible study for all of us.  Jesus is led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.  But he fasted for 40 days and 40 nights and afterwards HE WAS HUNGRY. ( The Ark was forty days and forty nights as God cleansed the Earth)    Now when the Tempter came to Him, He said: If You Are The Son of God, command that these stones become bread' Oh wait a minute. Satan knows God's power, knows He can turn stone to bread, but He is not convinced that this is the SON of GOD. He does not know who Jesus is, he is doubting, why don't we find this interesting. Jesus is tired and hungry, He knows exactly whom He is talking to and says "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. (For the Word is God and the Word was God)  In the beginning was the  Word , and the  Word was with God, and the Word  was  God . He was with  God  in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without...

Human Race Arise!

I awoke from a bad dream and I was aware I felt edgy, as I went through the motions of a morning routine, I found myself acknowledging that lately I was angry at everything. This is NOT my character, I am easy going, will get hurt but will make sure everyone around me has their needs met, so where was motivating this anger? I sat back and smoked a joint and for the very first time in forever found myself composing a song.  In fits of giggles I called my sister and began singing the song that goes like this: Diagnosing, diagnosing, we diagnosing, just diagnosing always knowing, we diagnosing,  can you hear us? Would you care?  (sung to the tune of Sailing)  If you lived in this house being one of the three determinedly opinionated women, you could well imagine.  The song died and suddenly I began to pour my heart out. My husband works away and I have NOT seen him for a year! When he returns home, I want him to quit his job and stay at home. I have my re...
