So, a princess, played by Audrey Hepburn, is on tour in Italy. She’s tired of her official duties and strict schedule. Instead, the princess wants to be a regular person and see Italy as such. Sneaking out into public, incognito, she gets her wish when meets a handsome young man, played by Gregory Peck, who takes her around. They have fun and fall for each other. There’s one important thing about him that she doesn’t know. He’s a journalist and could expose her secret. What’s a princess to do?
One of the reasons I like this movie is not only the storyline and the actors, but I love the setting. Anything to do with Italy, I love. I think it’s a romantic country. Rome is a city of romance.
This 1953 romantic comedy is an oldie but goodie. Have you seen any oldies but goodies lately?
Who can forget this 1983 movie about Alex, a young girl who works as a welder by day and an exotic dancer by night. Her true dream is to study at a prestigious ballet school in town and become a ballerina. She falls in love with her boss and vice versa. The movie reminds me in someways of the older Harlequin Romance stories — young, poor girl, meets older, rich man. They end up falling in L-O-V-E. When I was younger, I loved reading Harlequins and still have my favorites.
Some sexy parts of Flashdance:
1- When Nick (the boss) comes over to her apartment and Alex removes her bra (while watching T.V.) without removing her top. Nick’s mesmerized. Speechless.
2- Having dinner with Nick, Alex’s eating her lobster. She removes her jacket and is wearing a halter-type shirt with bowtie. He likes what he sees.
Favorite line occurs when Nick the boss first sees Alex dancing, he’s mesmerized and his friend Pete says, "Number 174631503."
Nick: "Pete, I don’t want her zip code."
Pete: "It’s her Social Security number. She works for you."
The soundtrack is still fun to listen to; the dances are still fun to watch.
Oh, and I liked Alex’s dog, a cute light brown haired pit bull named Grunt.
The scene where Alex auditions for the ballet school is also a favorite. I used to dance and had a pair of leg warmers like Alex.
I like to read all types of books and write erotic romances about hot heroes and real heroines of all backgrounds.
When I'm not seducing readers with my stories, I'm seducing others with aphrodisiac-filled recipes.
