I've always wanted to name a little girl kitten, Gigi , as in the musical by the same name. I would then drift around all day singing to the little sweetheart, while doing my work:
Oh Gigi
Am I a fool without a mind?
Or have I nearly been too blind to realize
Oh, Gigi
While you've been growing up before my eyes
Gigi
You're not all that funny or quick little girl I knew
No, overnight there's been a breathless change in you
Oh, Gigi
While you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh, Gigi
Have I been standing up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire?
And your warmth become desire
Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?
When did your warmth become desire?
And your sparkle turn to fire?
Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?
Oh, Gigi
I adore that song and the musical.
So £1.00 for Gigi. Another £1.00 for Hermione Gingold (yep, the whole name) and another for Maurice Chevalier. (The last two for their song together: Ah yes, I remember it well....gorgeous stuff) And two kittens named Hermione Gingold and Maurice Chevalier have got to grow up into big cats haven't they? After all, whoever heard of kittens with such grown up names?
So that's me £3.00
Gigi
Hermione Gingold
Maurice Chevalier
