The Barbie Movie

What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention?

Ok.  So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday.  The pre-party was a hoot!  The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable.

It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene.  Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it."  There it is!!!  Women talking to each other through generations.  Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie.  

There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times.

Bach to Rock!

Finger Lakes Chamber Music Festival string quartet with Richard Auldon Clark and members of his Manhattan Chamber Orchestra delighted residents with a bit of everything.

Bach and Beethoven, Duke Ellington, Henry Mancini, the Beatles, folk, ragtime, jazz, dance rhythms, the best of Broadway, themes from films, even an old fashioned Hoedown.

Richard, artistic director of the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra bought an energy to the room which was mesmerizing.
