Yes! We are finally coming to this point where people submit and read the entries for the Sidney Poitier Blogathon! I’m honestly very impatient to read all these articles celebrating this legendary actor.
As soon as you’ll submit your entry, I’ll add you to the roster. Remember, the event starts today, February 18, 2017 and ends Monday, February 20, 2017, on Sidney’s birthday. Make sure to be on time, but late entries will be accepted to because: 1- this is not school (we’re here to have fun), and 2- I myself sometimes submit late entries.
So here we go!
The lovely entries:
- Caftan Woman – 90 Years of Sidney Poitier Blogathon: the Slender Thread (1965)
- The Midnite Drive-In – Coloring Outside the Lines
- Crimson Kimono – Pressure Point

Hey, somehow I’m not able to write a comment on your blog.
But here is what I had to say about your article: “This sounds like an enjoyable film. I haven’t seen it, but your review makes me curious. Excellent job! Interesting to know that it was produced by Oprah Winfrey!
Note: You mention the “Sidney Poitier Centenary Blogathon” at the beginning of your text, but he’s just 90. 😉 “

Hey, Virginie. Unfortunately I won’t be able to submit my post.
I’m very disappointed as I adore Sidney and wanted to pay tribute to him on my blog but the film I chose just couldn’t click for me. I’m so sorry, but it looks like the blogathon was a success anyway!
