Masquerade - A Snap, A Set and A Song

The theme for this week's Snap, Set and Song meme is Mask, and I just HAD to make my post about the Phantom of the Opera!  Here is a Snap of Christine and Raoul at the Masquerade Ball. 

I simply swoon over those candelabras!

My Song selection is Masquerade, one of my favourites from the musical and film. I think the movie version of this song is even better than the stage version, simply because of the amount of people in the scene (besides, you just can't beat that choreography from the 4 minute mark - adore!) 

I designed my Set to reflect the Masquerade scene from the film, and now I've got that recurring feeling that I want to visit France. Sigh!

Chicago - A Snap, a Set and a Song

Today, I am joining in with the linky party over at A Snap, A Set and A Song. Each Thursday we share a photo, a set of items, and a song to represent a theme. This week's theme is Musical, and in keeping with my art deco obsession I have chosen the musical Chicago. Well, the movie, because I've never seen the stage show. I actually didn't even like this movie because the characters were all self-obsessed, and had low morals, but the musical numbers are catchy and the sets were gorgeous.

So here is a snap from the movie. I love the costumes and set in this pic. Swoonful!

Here is my Chicago set created at Polyvore:

And this is a song from the movie. One we all know well, and which has been on repeat in my head since I started thinking about this post! The lyrics and routines are sleazy, I know, but the tune is catchy, and Catherine Zeta Jones plays this part to perfection!

( I didn't realise the clip I posted this morning was semi-porn! Sorry if i offended anyone. Have now swapped to a video of All That Jazz with behind the scenes clips, but no sex scenes! Interesting to see how the rehearsals for the show evolved into the real thing. )
