Many, many thanks to all of you who participated in Elder Cats Appreciation Week! I cannot express the extent of my appreciation for those of you who participated, both big and small, every day or just one or two. It was wonderful to see a variety of new content and positivity for the older cats, and look at all the different ways you all contributed. This was so much fun and I hope to do this again sometime in the future!

I do encourage you that, in spite of the appreciation week being over, to continue playing with these characters and including them in your stories and HCs and fun - to reflect on why they are often left out/reduced to singular and otherwise flat roles/antagonized either due to their inherent age, or argued younger because they’re more “well liked” over others.  At the end of the day, the goal of this week was to shed some light and appreciation on characters that are often neglected in fandom, and the best way to continue that work is to open yourself further to those you may not otherwise consider. Even just a little bit. That’s how we continue to broaden our horizons.

Happy days to all <3

Grizabella

[per-the-jellicle-magician]

"The role of Grizabella, an old cat who misses youth and a new life, was played by Izabela Zając at the premiere. This phenomenal singer performed the hit of the musical "Memory" with a sense of drama and jazz character, which sharpened this oversweet piece" - wrote Roman Pawłowski in "Gazeta Wyborcza", January 12, 2004.

In the photo most likely Izabela Zając

Ohhhh, it’s the last day of OldiesWeek! How sad. :( I truly have enjoyed seeing all the content on my dash, everyone who participated has made this week absolutely wonderful!!! And thank you @the-cat-at-the-theatre-door for organizing it... Unfortunately I could only participate in the last 3 days, but better than nothing.

For Grizabella’s day, here’s Éjfél, or Memory... and Almási Éva as Griz in 1983!

Thank you all again! :D :D
