Sale at John Fluevog
These are definitely in the "vintagey" rather than "strict repro" category but John Fluevog is having a pretty good sale--quite a few styles at 50% off. If only I wasn't flat busted I'd be considering...
With that line up you'll be fine whatever you choose, but I'd recommend Angels with Dirty Faces and The Postman Always Rings Twice. Cagney is just great as Rocky Sullivan and the last scene is a classic. I really like Postman--Garfield and Turner are fantastic.
Rear Window is good but I...
Well, if he doesn't see you're tops clearly he's an idiot (not that that helps you feel nicer--sorry!). Better to pull out the metal music than to pull out other types of metal I could think of...;)
I love Ok Go too--I go through phases where I just put their first album on constant repeat...
I loved this film. I never saw the show so I went into it with no preconceptions. I thought the actors were great and I love Tim Burton’s visual style. My favorite scene was “By the Sea”—just pure Burton through and through. I’d buy a poster of the three of them sitting on the...
Here's a couple of dresses I've gotten over the past few months, all quite cheap.
A blue velvet dress, probably 1930's:
A printed cotton dress with a plastic/bakelite (I haven't tested it yet) belt buckle and carved buttons. The dress has several inverted pleats in the bodice...
Here's the pair of glasses I bought last year shown in a series of quick photographs. So, what do you think girls? Are the frames too big for my face? Is the black too stark?
Here's the dress I made for the Queen Mary this year--unironed, alas! It's a bias cut dress from a 1940 pattern. It wouldn't fit on the dress form I actually use so I've had to photograph it on one that is much too small, but hopefully you can get an idea of how it looks. I took hardly any...
So true--I find the Whos pretty creepy too, come to think of it.
I love Radio Days (and Seth Green). Kenneth Mars cracks me up everytime as the Rabbi--"You will go out into the street with your collection boxes..."
I watched the Japanese movie Linda, Linda, Linda last night--I caught it during a 2 day run at an art house in Boston last year and I loved it. Amazon encapsulates the plot better than I could:
"Only three days before their high school festival, guitarist Kei (Yu Kashii), drummer Kyoto (Aki...
Oh, god, just reading that gives me the creeps!
The first time I saw that movie was on tv pre-VCR so it was like 2am. I was doing my homework and kind of half paying attention to it at first before getting completely sucked in. That ending still scares the beejezus out of me.
Wasn't...
That's been debated by art historians and I haven't read any positive proof that it is, but I'd lean towards saying yes based on the widely accepted self portraits of him;
Thanks for the vote LD!
Thanks for merging the threads too, it's fun to read about all the glasses stories. I think I got my first pair around 8 years old--gold wire rims because I wanted to look like Mary Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. A hideous, gigantic pair of red framed specs...
You can hear Ella here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-G1GZ2E5kA
Rufus sang the song on a GAP commercial but don't listen to that version, it's truncated and inferior. The one I like is on the CD The McGarrigle Christmas Hour. If I were more tech savvy maybe I could upload it, but I am...
I do believe Best Buy is the only place where the "salesman" (and, believe me, I use the term loosely) tried to talk me out of buying merchandise. Apparently, if I don't have digital cable or a home theater system I may as well not even bother with a television at all--condesending little...
