Just Singing in the Rain

My favorite movie of all time, ever is Singing in the Rain.  I love it more than one really should love a movie.  It's a big reason why I wanted to become a dancer.  I adore Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor, and I just wanted to be able to do what they could do.  

Plus the story is pretty awesome.  I love being transported into a technicolor version of Hollywood in the late 1920's.  Seeing the outfits, hearing the songs and imagining what the industry was like back then.  Plus it's hilarious.  Really I think Singing in the Rain is a work of comedic genius...But clearly, you can see I'm a fan.  

So here are some Singing in the Rain inspirations to brighten, or maybe I should say rain cloudy up your day! ;)

It doesn't rain much here in Los Angeles, but every now and then the "California dew is a little heavier than usual."  For those days, I'd like to dance down the street in this lovely raincoat - so classic!

And I am one of those people that inevitably gets soaked even with an umbrella; I'm thinking a bubble umbrella like this one may do the trick...

Lastly, ya gotta wear some Wellies!
