I'm thinking of making some version of this dress:
I like the one shown in purple but it wouldn't look good with the jacket so I'd probably go for the version shown in teal but use the sleeves from the purple version. I'd shorten the skirt to the knee too--I think this length looks a...
Myrna Loy--You scored 23% grit, 28% wit, 14% flair, and 47% class.
Just for kicks I took the leading man test as well and came up as Cary Grant. Not bad!
What are the chances?
I was looking through my fabric stash last night and I found some yardage I bought several years ago and that I forgot I had. It's a near perfect color match for that 1940's jacket I bought recently--what are the chances of that? I'm planning to make a dress to match the...
I love Barton Fink--one of my favorites. I haven't seen it in awhile.
I'm expecting Sleepy Hollow and the 3rd disk of season 2 of the American version of The Office from Netflix today. I'm really enjoying The Office--good acting and writing with a nice mix of humor, cringe worthy moments...
I have always had a secret yen to own a motorcycle with a side car (or know someone who does ;) ). That's a beauty pictured through the link (nice suitcase too)! Is it the same machine shown in your post?
I just discovered Retroplex, Kitty--it is great, especially for cheap folks like me who won't spring for the extra dough to get TCM!
Pillow Talk was on there last night, always good for a chuckle. I love it when Tony Randall is vindictive and Rock Hudson was completely gorgeous. The...
Everything is beautiful but I'm in love with this dress! Look at that color!
You're so lucky your grandma saved all these things. My grandmother was a real clotheshorse but she gave all her old things to a community theater group in the early '70s thinking no one would ever want all those...
I agree DanielJones, the script will be crucial for this one. The message was a big part of what made the original film so good. I hope they don't turn it into a Hollywood shoot-em-up.
I'm reserving judgement on Reeves--I hated him in Much Ado About Nothing but he surprised me in A Walk...
Are you from Boston LD?
It was very odd that I just started seriously exploring Steampunk and there's the article. Hopefully this doesn't mean it's over!
Very cool Hadley! I think her writing looks very 1920s--sort of stylized. It's a good book too; aside from her unhappy first marriage it seems like she had an unusually happy life for a film star. Smart too with all her stock earnings. Someday I'm going to get to Chicago to see her Fairy...
For sale I have a brand new, never installed Nicolai Art Deco Slipper Shade Fixture by the Rejuvenation Lighting Company.
The fixture has an antique gilt finish with 5 amber etched slipper shades. This Nicolai was inspired by elegant 1930s designs originally created by the Lincoln Mfg. Co...
