Book excerpt: Lieutenant Dan Fancy is a top Navy pilot. He has just been reassigned to Miramar Naval Air Station, "Fighter Town", where he hopes to make a fresh start and jump start his career. A failed marriage and a bout of heavy drinking have put him seriously off track. Life at Miramar begins auspiciously as Fancy is reunited with old friends. He begins to prove himself when plunged into rigorous training before Enterprise's six month deployment to the Western Pacific. However, when Fancy meets Cody Thorn and her daughter Amanda, things take a turn he wasn't counting on. The story gives readers a rare glimpse of life on an aircraft carrier, illuminating the lives the men who fly the dangerous missions from the massive floating airfields. Fancy must not only perform under the normal stresses of flying off a carrier, but he must also do so under intense emotional stress when he learns that Cody has been seriously injured by her ex-husband. Unable to be at Cody's side, the situation is a haunting reminder of the events that cost him his first marriage. Fancy must continue to focus on his duties without allowing his personal anxieties to interfere with the demanding tasks before him.
Download or read book Magnificent Entertainments written by Cynthia Cooper and published by Fredericton, N.B. ; Hull, Quebec : Goose Lane Editions and Canadian Museum of Civilization. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The awestruck press thrilled all of Canada with reports of the Earl of Dufferins 1876 fancy dress ball at Rideau Hall. Twenty years later, the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen not only topped Dufferins extravaganza and catered to a new taste: at their Historical Fancy Dress Ball, guests promenaded as important characters from Canadian history. The next year, in Toronto, their Victorian Era Ball feted Queen Victorias diamond jubilee by celebrating in costume the progress of her reign and the technological wonders of the century to come. In 1898, the Aberdeens induced Montreals French and English high society to act out the ideal of national unity. Cynthia Cooper tells the stories of these four vice-regal balls, the costumes, and the optimistic nation-builders who disguised frivolity as historical research and chose costumes that allowed sexual display scandalous in any other setting. The reporters on the fringes of each event form a gushing Greek chorus, and photos by Notman and Topley show la crème de la crème of young Canada in all its finery.
Download or read book Dance written by Carol Wallace and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 1986 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Twirling figures, gloved hands clasped, the strains of the violin..." These words from the first essay in this delightful book could be describing an eighteenth-century minuet performed by aristocratic guests at a Versailles ball, a nineteenth-century cotillion of white-gowned debutantes in new York, or a stylish moment created on the silver screen by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The steps and the music and the dresses may vary, but the exciting and elegant sight of society enjoying itself on the dance floor has persisted through the ages. In this book, published to coincide with an exhibition held at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art under the direction of Diana Vreeland, four authors look at the subject of social dancing from four different points of view. Carol McD. Wallace surveys the great balls and dancing parties of Europe, England, and America from the eighteenth century to the present, while Don McDonagh describes the dance steps themselves, from the early basse danze of Italy to the twist of modern-day America. Jean Druesedow, associate curator in charge of the Costume Institute, discusses the evolution of the ball gown and other costumes designed for dancing, and Laurence Libin, curator of musical instruments, assisted by Constance Old, analyzes the way in which dance has been depicted in works of art through the centuries. Illustrated with paintings, works of decorative art, contemporary prints and photographs, these lively essays re-create the rhythmic energy, the social proprieties, the colorful costumes and anecdotes of dances and dancers past and present. -- from dust jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Metrical Description of a Fancy Ball: Given at Washington, 9th April, 1858, Dedicated to Mrs. Senator Gwin This graceful and witty effusion, evidently regarded as too much of a trifle to be acknowledged by its author, has, by acclaim, been considered far too good to be lost. The polished mind of its author has evidently been inspired by the return of the age of hoops, to commemorate the fascinations of the Belindas of our day, in verses breathing the spirit of the Bard of Twickenham.

This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Metrical Description of a Fancy Ball Given at Washington, 9th April, 1858 Doubtless some will criticise us for including the description of a fancy-dress ball under the head of scarce Americana - yet there is reason for it. The item itself was privately printed, and is. Now very scarce. It is a graceful and witty effusion, written by a young officer of the Army, and full of very interesting allusions to promi nent members of Washington society of the period; and all named are identified by foot-notes, while at the end are notes de scribing the costumes. To the original form of these we have added as much as possible; but have not been able to identify every per son in the list. The period of the ball was one of such peculiar political interest that the event itself was of more than passing importance. The struggle in Congress between Freedom and Slavery was daily be coming more intense. A violence of language on either side, but particularly on the Southern, was indulged in, such as would be im possible to-day. The armed conflict between North and South was rapidly approaching. In less than eighteen months John Brown was to appear at Harper's Ferry; in two years and a half South Carolina was to set the example of Secession; in three years almost to a'day from the date of the ball, Fort Sumter was to be fired on. While it would be far-fetched to compare the Gwin ball to the historic ball of the Duchess of Richmond, the night before Waterloo, it is a striking coincidence that the opening lines of Byron's poem on that famous event are quoted at the beginning of the Notes. Well might any participant in the Gwin ball have quoted Talley rand's famous mot of 1830 We are dancing on a volcano.
