(phew!)

Innocent, sexy, talented, curvy

womanly and cheeky

she showed us how all that camp on-screen movie musical

singing and dancing

could be sassy

(and just a little bit raunchy)

Check out this snippet which features
A Lot of Livin’ To Do from Bye Bye Birdie (the film).
Wickedly cool dancing and singing from Ann who completely steals the scene (and some Elvis-esque lip movements from Conrad).

(Yes I did try and memorise the dance when I was younger.)
