About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.

Very cute.
I’d love to watch her as she grows. Adorable.
I love The Seeker!!!!!! 🙂 And this stuff. 🙂
She does post some really good ones, and some of the funniest. This one had me really laughing hard. 🙂
I’ll comment here what I commented on Miss P’s post.
Cute.
😉
But not my cup of tea 😉
I hear you. Love that we can all hang together with all are this and thats. Very cool. 🙂 p.s. Some day I’d love to see a vid of your dancing. 😉
Well, I do try and not disrupt the whole shebang 😉 I wonder if I will ever be able to get somebody to take a vid of me – I’d like to see myself dancing, but I’m not sure I’ll like it much!
I’m sorry P, this vid, just…no.
I looked at it, and tried to laugh at the little one’s antics, but all I could see was disruption, no care, no interest.
But that’s just me and my orderly mind getting in a tizz.
I’m sure she’s just lovely and I’m just a sourpuss.
Your point is well taken and I can see that viewpoint as well, for sure. So glad for the comment and our conversations. 🙂
I do try not let my sourpuss-ness affect everything 😉
I will try harder in the future!
Love you as you are, Ghia. Nothing needs to change for this friend. 😉
Precious!
It’d be fun to watch her grow and see if she makes it to stage and screen.
Hard not to love a free spirit.
🙂
This girl might be stealing the show and dancing to her own drum, I could see myself in her. She is such an original. Thank you for sharing the lighter side of life.
Unmitigated fun, she was having. All innocent. I enjoyed it. Don’t know how the other parents there would have felt, lol. I saw that it went viral a week ago and didn’t watch it till you posted it. Thank you back!
I cried tears of laughter- could not stop laughing. This was the curtest litlte girl that I’ve seen. She will be a true comic some day with talent to spare. Gee this was too funny. Made my day. Thanks for reblogging this one.
You made me want to watch it again, lol. So glad you got a kick out of it. 🙂
Woooooooooow so amazing and cute
Yes, she was having a good time. 🙂
She was clearly having fun!
She sure was, Sage. I bet she’d have a blast playing with you. 🙂
Paulette, that was priceless. Wiping the tears of joy from my eyes. Thanks Bill
Oh so glad you saw it. She was having such a good time. Hugs to you, Bill. 🙂
Utterly gorgeous 🙂
Yes! So much fun to watch. 🙂
This is so very, very cute!
I agree! Kids and pets are so much fun to watch.
