I just heard that Patrick Swayze died today, at the age of 57, from pancreatic cancer. Instead of remembering him with a moment of silence (my house is quiet, so that counts) or shedding a tear or two on his behalf (I loved him, but can't squeeze out even one tear right now), I decided to create a photo shrine to his memory, including most of my favorite moments of him (notice how most of them show off his body and/or his dancing--that was no accident, my friend!)
Patrick, honey, this is for you!
You're gonna hurt me if you don't trust me
Come here, Loverboy!
I remember how fat Baby looks next to Penny (Penny's knocked up, Baby) which just proves how utterly tiny Penny was!
He wouldn't know a good idea if it hit him in the pachenga
I said, come here loverboy!
Sexiest man alive in 1991, hmm, let's see, I was 15...I don't even think I saw "Dirty Dancing" for another year or so!
She's like the wind
Johnny Castle and Baby doing their thing~
Sylvia? Yes, Mickey. How do you call your loverboy? Come here, loverboy! And if he doesn't answer? Oh, loverboy! And if he STILL doesn't answer? I simply say BABY...ohh, baby, my sweet baby, you're the one.
Oh I love a man who can dance!!
And one who looks this good doing it!
I had a dream I was your guy
I carried a watermelon??
Mostly, I'm afraid of walking out of this room and never feeling about anyone the way I feel about you right now...
The rumba is something you feel...like a heartbeat. Ga-goom, ga-goom
Becca and I got such a kick out of this part, where she can't let his hand go down her side without laughing~we just smiled the whole way through! We saw this movie together for the first time when I was probably 16 and Bec 15. We rebellously rented this and "Girls Just Want To Have Fun"! We watched "Dirty Dancing" then GJWTHF, then "Dirty Dancing" AGAIN all in the same night, because we loved it THAT much! We saw it together multiple times after that over the years :)
Speaking of Becca, she just GOT ENGAGED!! And I'm SO happy for her!
It looks like they were having the time of their lives....
Ahhh, the lift.
I found this great pic online of him doing some TV series, and I just thought he looked lovely :)
And who can (or wants to) forget this little number on SNL! You KNOW Chris Farley's funny if he's on stage with a half-naked Patrick Swayze and no one's looking at Swayze!!
Who can forget the "North and South" in the 80's?! It was a miniseries on every Sunday night for a couple months, and my family was watching until the sex scene (couldn't have been TOO revealing, since it was the 80's!!) I remember sneaking up to watch it after it was banned from our house!
I'm thinking he was the South cause of that remarkable accent! (Just an FYI, he reminds me SO much of my friend Rob--lookswise and the accent too--I just love those Southern boys....)Rest in peace, eye candy!
