First of all - Irene says: Hi!

Well: hi. ;”)

I am Irene Palfy of “And then they start to sparkle” (<- violet writing on my blogs means: Watch out - here's a link!) and I am going to act as a substitute for my friend Monty on his blog – which you are visiting right now – obviously..

You may remember my name from our cross over the famous Beware these women festival –and I got the “#1 Fan award of April” because I am bubbling comments like crazy here.. ;”)

I got to beg pardon for my tousled English – as you clearly see I am no native speaker when it comes to English – please prepare of some really, really strange wordings.

Actually I am pretty creative when I am talking in my mothertongue, too.. I think it's fun to mix words and proverbs etc. and create a new kind of perception - like little children do, sometimes you get a word which will exactely say what you mean. ;”)

Honestly, I was pretty flattered when Monty asked me to do this – and rigth now I am scared to death:

You’re so many followers (even if I would add all my followers from my different blogs I wouldn’t come up to 121!!) and you're used to a real amazing blog and Monty's real great style - in my nightmares I see this blog left alone because of me and my posts! – To get my picture:

"Monty is coming back from his vacation and all he sees here is that everyone is gone and I am his last follower (please imagine a tumbleweed rolling through this scenario while I am giggling hysterical..)"

Monty is a good friend - I want him to be pleased with my posts here.

Actually: if Monty asked me to wear this costume - I would have done it:

(My favourite John Wayne picture - he is Monty's classic movie actor of the month, which is a perfect reason to post this picture..)

So, please remember:

Everything will be okay. Monty will be back in a few days.

~ Yes, today is the aniversary of the death of Douglas Adams - and I simply got to wrote DON'T PANIC today.. ;") ~

I will concentrate on Birthday posts - I think so.. Well, maybe some favourite titbits.. Oh - and...

Remember: I am not cheating - I changing the rules. ;")

If you have questions - go on ask. If it's interesting to know which directors I love and which actors I loathe or anything else you want to know about my blogs, my love for classic films and me: Ask. - Maybe I can think of an answer.

Your's (very well and) truly

Irene
