I've seen really nice late 30's-early 40's hats go for $250-$300 on ebay. This one is listed at a dealer's website for $745. It's from a name maker, it's near mint, it's gorgeous--but I still think the price is insane (especially since I don't believe the box is included). That seller's...
The New York Times had an interesting article entitled A Fine Romance, My Friend, This Is on the (sad) state of the modern Romantic Comedy compared to the Golden Age films in this genre. I believe you need a free password to access the article but it's worth a look.
One of my favorite...
I really want to see this. I've read Graysmith's book a couple of times and it still gives me the creeps in a huge way (that poem carved on the desk particularly). Thanks for the heads-up on the stabbing scenes; I'll look away.
I love SCTV--one of the programs that kept me sane during high school. Catherine O'Hara and Andrea Martin are huge idols of mine. I love Edith Prickley.
Pretty dress Jayem!
These haven't officially gotten away since they're still for sale but they may as well be sold because I don't have the $800-$1200 to spend for each one. If I did though they would be mine, especially the first one.
I have quite a collection of old lace collars--I used to wear them all the time but I got out of the habit. It's a very teens/20's/early 30's look and I've been more 40's/50's lately.
There's probably a better way but I would lay collar on the neckline of the blouse I wanted to wear and just...
I always loved this portrait particularly:
Another nice link to Hurrell's work is:http://www.georgehurrellestate.com/index.htm
His later work, including portraits of music personalities, are particularly interesting. I remember seeing a set of photos he did of Faye Dunaway as Joan...
Some shots from my recent trip to Philadelphia.
Two of suburban station pulled from the web; my camera had run out of batteries but this was a gorgeous building
My mythical dress and hat shop would be in this building:
And last, from the Macy's...
I thought her hair looked lovely in the film but it seemed a tad too long to me, particularly in the sequences during the war (the tea shop, etc). It seemed odd that they didn't really alter her style as time progressed in the film. But maybe that was a conscious choice since it was a story...
Wonderful pictures, thanks so much for sharing them! It's especially great to see photos from this era of a girl who wore a larger size. I'll take her novelty print dress please!
One of my favorite presidential stories is the one about "Silent" Calvin Coolidge.
A man once bet a friend that he could make Cal say at least three words in a conversation.
When the man met Coolidge, he told him of the bet. All Coolidge said was, "You lose."
