This year alone I starred in a production of All Shook Up with my college's musical society, watched the Grease prequel: Rise of the Pink Ladies and now there's the old timey segments of this video. Basically I'm never escaping the 50s now. Not that I'm complaining

[Jiggly-HufflePuff]

Such a dream! I would love to go to the Trixie motel

[katysikkema]

So sweet! 🤩✨ when you mentioned there was a leopard right by you, I had a similar experience with a lioness: it was right by the glass and it was looking right at me. I got so many good pictures of that pretty cat ❤ either she wanted to eat me or she was really photogenic ;)

[schuylerlevinson]

Great video! Josh’s old-timey radio voice is pretty spot on 😂

[brittanyestrella]
