Not So Legally Blonde

I am obsessed with musicals and have been my whole life. Everything from the cool '40s movies, Gene Kelly, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (true musical lovers know this is one of the classics) to modern day movies and Broadway shows like Connie & Carla, HSM, Les Miz and Wicked. I will watch a million times, memorize the songs and sing them until everyone around me is sick of it.

My last obesssion was with Wicked. And I'm very excited because I finally get to take my sister to see it in a couple weeks. Since we've always shared a love for musicals, often staging our own, I finally get to share this one with her too.

But more recently, I fell in love with Legally Blonde.

Those that know me find such irony in this. See, I actually hated the movie. It's the whole pink, perky mentality.... not that it's bad, it's just not me. But there is something about the musical that transcends - that grabs a hold of me. I can't help it and I'm sucked in. It's the power of music. And I love it.

Even if pink isn't my signature color - there's still something to be said for being blonde.
