I have a severe astigmatism and, since my forties, anything with a dark stripe or square against a white stripe or square is hard for me to look at. I haven't bought my husband striped dress shirts for a long time!:)toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-43752187893878699992009-12-07T22:43:02.451-05:002009-12-07T22:43:02.451-05:00I thought about the dizziness some are feeling whi...I thought about the dizziness some are feeling while looking at the "optically illusional" dance floor...maybe it's a good idea instead to focus on a particular object (sort of like looking at a fixed object when spinning around)...I suggest focusing on Fred Astaire -he's a cure-all as far as I'm concerned. TCM aired YOLANDA recently and I recorded it and had it on while I was cooking (possibly Thanksgiving) and it was then that I 'discovered' "Coffee Time." Hope most of you enjoyed the clip...and apologies to those who got queasy!The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-38971516132157991162009-12-07T21:46:02.310-05:002009-12-07T21:46:02.310-05:00Eve, thanks for the clip.

It was really spectacular, and if you look at it too long you get dizzy!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-45347504538916153602009-12-07T15:13:22.580-05:002009-12-07T15:13:22.580-05:00Eve, I have never seen this movie before.

It really makes my eyes hurt. I think I do better with a solid floor, like a yellow brick road. :)toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-6617778547066346092009-12-07T14:30:58.493-05:002009-12-07T14:30:58.493-05:00I have mixed feelings about YOLANDA (though I'...I have mixed feelings about YOLANDA (though I'm liking it more lately), but not "Coffee Time." Lucille Bremer was a dancer before she was an actress (some would say she never became that much of an actress) and I was impressed with her graceful lightness as she danced with Astaire.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-73628231313560553212009-12-07T13:18:47.399-05:002009-12-07T13:18:47.399-05:00Well written, informative, and intriguing write-up...Well written, informative, and intriguing write-up, Eve.

I've only seen the movie once (indeed, it's not one of my fave of Fred's). But I remember this number with its unique rhythms, colorful costumes, and that bizarre floor! It was fun to learn the background behind it.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
