*thinks* You know, I don't think I've seen a Chaplin film. *thinks more* Not a single one. Must fix that.

Good job on the clothing - that skirt especially just screams 'silent movie era'!

Yeah, I think I'd seen a few shorts but none of his full length films. They're fantastic! Especially considering how new film making was, they're funny and well paced, and almost all have something sad and realistic and meaningful to them. Between my library and my Hastings there's a pretty good collection.

Hee, I can't take credit for the clothes or even the poses (almost). It's pretty much out of the movie.
