Tut-Tut, It Looks Like Rain

It's raining in my neck of the woods today. A bit early for a storm I think. After all, it is only the 5th of October. But as I sit here in my Uggs I think how adorable can our favorite oldies make being in the rain look? Let's find out.

Jayne and her pup staying dry.

Ahh Cary. Making rain look so good.

Donald O'Connor, Stanley Donen, and Jean Kelly with their tiny umbrellas.

Charlie Chaplin, wishing he was more prepared.
