sewphisticate I bow to your reviewing greatness!! I just read the first Coppla interview for MA and she confirmed quite a few of your initial impressions of the film (from the trailer). This will be a coming of age story and the '80s music is part of the soundtrack, not just the trailer ( Read more... )

Hey elizabethsdress (and anyone else who loves 20s fashions) - I just saw a movie that I think you would like. It's called Star! and is a little known Julie Andrews musical - I hadn’t even heard of before B spotted it at the library. It's based on the life of stage star Gertrude Lawrence and spans from 1916-1940 ( Read more... )

Not much on the costuming front happening these days. I have taken out all the broken stitching from the kitty toy that was my ballgown trim and started again.

Ack! Call me a purist but really some film makers & costume designers should be shot!

I did it. I broke down and bought the Titanic EE. The 3 discs rather than 4 discs for the US release still ticks me off but I held off buying the stupid film until an extended version was released. It seems silly to not get it after all. At least I won’t have to get the DVD out of the library when I want some screen captures ( Read more... )

Interesting... Titanic fans disregarded again. To quote an Amazon.com reviewer ( Read more... )

My trip to G Streets turned out to be a bust. I picked up the twill tape I needed but my real quest for hat supplies was unfulfilled. I was also hoping to find a buckle similar but larger than the small diamond ones I bought last time but had no luck there either. Oh well.

I did manage to pick up Jefferson in Paris on my way home though. I ( Read more... )
