The books you listed are all from Bramcost and they are AWESOME!! I don't have any of their hat-making books, but I do have a bunch of hairstyling and pattern-making books from them and they are well worth their prices. PRICELESS vintage information and they have all really helped me with my...
Some of you may already know this, but if you look on the bottom back flap of Hollywood and Vogue patterns, the date is stamped on the bottom. The last two numbers are the year. Check it out.
Here's how I discovered it...
OK...now I have something new to practice! And I'll save myself a few hundred dollars! :D
I don't mind ironing. I kinda like seeing the wrinkles disappear :/ Hand sewing is something I used to hate with a passion and would use the machine if I could, but I'm not so avoidant of it now. I...
I wish I was as attentive to detail, but I don't even have a serger yet so I'm just cranking them out like a sweatshop. Maybe once I get a serger I'll be more careful with little details.
I always think if DFJ as a "second rate" star for some reason. Just one of those guys who could've been bigger, but never quite won the public over. I've seen a few of his films and I thought he was a decent actor:
A Woman of Affairs (1928)
Our Modern Maidens (1929)
Party Girl (1930)...
I'm always open. I'll give them a chance next time they are on TCM. I've ended up liking stars I've disliked before -- I didn't like Ruby Keeler at one time, now I can't imagine disliking her! Rudy Vallee, also; didn't think much of him for a while then I started hearing more of his crooning...
I have to 'fess up and admit I've never seen these. Not a huge Cary Grant fan, either, whom I call "The Male Kate Hepburn."
I've seen these Kate movies:
A Bill of Divorcement (1932) - Mostly for the fabulous John Barrymore, who overshadowed her anyway with his MAGNIFICENT acting in this...
I agree. Kate was so mannered and "actressy" I just can't watch her. Margie is slightly better, but by no means a favourite of mine.
I prefer actresses like Kay Francis, Thelma Todd, Marion Davies, Lilyan Tashman, Clara Bow, and Joan Blondell. They were just more natural to me. And...
Virginia Davis (1918-2009)

She was "Alice" in the silent era, but she is best remembered by me as little Joan Blondell in Three On A Match (1932)
I only listen to the actual radio in the car. I like 89.3 WRDV, which plays mostly big band and jazz from the 30s and 40s. When they start playing too much 60s big band (not into it!) I turn it to 101.5 -- a NJ talk radio station. I <3 Casey & Rossi!
I listen to OTR in my iPod.
Wow -- my thread lives on two years later! Hasn't fallen from the first page! :D
