    Plus Size Vintage

    If it makes you feel any better, I tried this dress on at Old Navy a couple months ago (it came out with the summer clothing a while back) and it was very unflattering in cut. It was not cut well for a larger sized sized gal. The waist was also empire length, i think it would have been much...

    "The Women"

    The Wizard of Oz was a remake of a silent version as well. I think it's more of a matter or poor quality and quantity these days.

    Favorite classic horror movies

    I forgot about The Uninvited, what a great movie. I like a classic psychological ghost story. Another early colorized horror movie that I like to watch is The Mystery of The Wax Museum with Fay Wray.
