The odd part is, while we’ve never noticed anyone ever singing that song for auditions in the past, she had another girl in her very set (they do sets of 10 and there are around 100 total auditioning) sing the same song. On top of that, her very good friend who did get the part she kinda wanted, sang it also!

You know, ladies, I didn’t really say that I had somewhat of a purpose behind the audition song question. My daughter is actually auditioning for that show this week. Unfortunately, Karen, she is unable to use songs from the show, otherwise “In My Own Little Corner” would be a perfect choice for her voice and abilities; when she took an auditioning class, that was actually the song the teacher selected for her. However, interestingly, when I told her about your suggestions, Sarah, she said “I Have Confidence” was one she was considering, and now that is the one she has decided to use.

Karen - you know what I have been wanting? One of those pink and brown pearl combos. I like the peacock blue ones they have now too. I suppose there’s never any shortage of things to want. And my husband does like to buy me nice jewelry for occasions. For Christmas, I got a long, two-tone (brown/light taupe) silk scarf!

Joy - I think that’s awesome that you play the tuba! With that much shiny gold brass, who needs accessories?

The way you’ve grouped them is also helpful, as I’m trying to figure out how to sort out my own favorites. It doesn’t make sense to put together storage plans, until I know what I’m keeping and wearing.

Shari - thanks for the link to Already Pretty. I’m adding her to my bookmarks.

As for the audition, I’m not so much the singer, so I’ll be going for a spot in the orchestra pit. Just wondering… could I count the Tuba as an accessory?

Rebecca. Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection with us! I think you’re a tough fashion nut to crack, but it’s clear you are sentimental, like the classics, are classy and picky.

You could have so much fun with pearl combos, like your crystal twist. I also think you’d love freshwater pearls if you gave some a shot. I have these leverback earrings, from which drops a beautiful pink “petal” pearl. I wear them so much. They bring light to my face. Grey pearls could work for you too.

I would definately be Cinderella, my all time favorite! And for my song, I think I would choose to sing “I Have Confidence” from The Sound of Music or sing “All I Ask of You” from The Phanton of the Opera!

I’ll have to work on the song, would a list be OK? At 6 degrees cold and 6 inches of new snow, White Christmas is near the top for sure. On the other hand, we watched The Wizard of OZ last night and Janel’s choice is tough to beat, also.

It always amazes me what people have on their “everyone” must own list. Maybe I’m just getting old and don’t care what people think? Maybe I’m too much of a rebel to begin with? Maybe not everyone fits in the same mold and folks need to accept that? Maybe I’m being too picky? I find I’m more drawn to colors and proportions these days. It doesn’t matter how much bling you have it your proportions are off.

I’d be Cinderella, of course! lol Song? hmmm… “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”

“Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me.”

Yeah, that works.

I am exactly the opposite. All of my favorites are muted in some way–brushed silver, gold with etched patterns that cut the shine a bit, rough turquoise stones, and so on.
