Rock of Ages: movie review

movie review, postaday2012, Rock of Ages

I knew that Rock of Ages had been a sensation on Broadway but I had never seen it. It never came to mind as a show that I had to see, Broadway tickets aren’t inexpensive, there were other shows that intrigued us much more as a family such as Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, The Producers, and one of my favorites Spamalot. We went to go see Rock of Ages, my hubby especially wanted to see it because of the music. He was right the music was great, Pat Benatar, White Snake, Poison, Def Lepard, Bon Jovi, Journey and Foreigner. I know that I’m forgetting a few but I’m sure that you have the gist, great music playlist if you grew up in the seventies and eighties. The story was fine, the actors camped it up but sometimes it was a little too painful. Thank goodness for Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand. They saved the movie, for me anyway.

Tech savvy, moi?

  When I was working at Conran’s in the catalog/advertising/design department twenty three years ago, I was working alongside a designer named Abby. She was in charge of designing the signature china, mugs and cups for Conran’s and she used the Apple software to do it with. I remember being so envious of her ease at making the computer do what she wanted it to do and it was doing fantastic design work, the type that you see in Pottery Barn, our competition at the time. Guess who won that battle,lol. Oops for me, wrong side on that equation. I wasn’t tech savvy then and I’m certainly not now.
