There is a song that was cut from a famous Broadway musical that starts out: A fella loves to be with a Funny Girl. It isn t just the fellas that love to be with Christina Bianco, who, incidentally, has played in that same famous musical. People love hanging with Christina, not just because she is funny, but because of all the parts of who she is. This singing actress is one of the most dedicated artists in show business, she is on a constantly evolving quest to learn and do more with her art and with the community around her. A significant part of Bianco s mission statement is the giving of her talent in the assistance of others. Through online shows, Ms. Bianco has provided entertainment and inspiration to audiences around the world but she has also raised funds and awareness for those in need. Her latest venture is a three-day live-streamed film benefitting the Irvington Theater, beginning March 4th, and fans are thrilled to have a chance to see her in action once more.

This year marks 60 years since Holly Golightly stepped on to Fifth Avenue in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) in her iconic LBD with its pearl back. It’s a two-hour treat and I always pull my chair closer to the screen for a better view of Hubert de Givenchy’s costumes, especially those awesome funnel-neck coats.
I don’t even notice Grace Kelly’s voice anymore when watching
High Society (1956). All I see are those achingly gorgeous costumes designed by MGM’s Helen Rose, who went on to design Kelly’s wedding dress. Favourite fashion moments are when Kelly slips out of a Grecian robe to reveal a white halterneck bathing suit and, later, when she dances with Frank Sinatra in swirling layers of embellished grey and pink chiffon, a dress which now lives in the Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge, Co Kildare.
