Don't be so sad......remember,

You don't stop playing because you're getting old,
you're getting old because you stopped playing

Unfortunately, society sees older people who like to laugh and live and love and play as "old fools".

I don't want to grow up, ever.............

) such as 'Edward Scissorhands', but also 'Ed Wood' (that one cracks me up every time..) and 'Sleepy Hollow' (one of my alltime favourites..

).

I'm really looking forward to seeing him play The Mad Hatter ...(I heard there was an 'Alice' in the making)..

You' re absolutely right...

So here' s to being eternally playful and delightfully 'foolish' as opposed to all grownup-bitter-old-sock..!!

Ohhh yes me too must have seen it at least 3 times..

Not in the least because of all the gorgeous wonderful chocolate being made in it as well..

But this film too has a touch of magic & surrealism..

(I especially love the scene where one woman is complaining about the lack of sexual appetite of her husband until she gives him these chocolates..

)

One day when she was two years old she was playing in the garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful for Mrs Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, ‘Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!’ This was all that passed between them on this subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end."

I disagree. You can't help growing old, but you can help growing up. Remember to believe in fairies, otherwise they wil die. I believe in fairies. Creo en haras.
¡Viva Campanilla , Hara Rebelda! Long live Tinkerbelle the rebel fairy!
I like both your self portraits
