One of my favorite #TCMFF experiences this year was watching Letty Lynton on the big screen and seeing my daughter’s reactions. Here are some of my thoughts on the film, from a #CMBA blogathon last year. tinyurl.com/3m5jeess

When asked about the clothes I design and the inspiration behind them:

"Very early on, the garments the actresses, performers, or entertainers wore caught my attention—Carmen Miranda, Lena Horne, Hedy Lamarr, Sophia Loren."

Pre-Code Horror: MURDERS IN THE ZOO (1933)

Pre-Code Horror: MURDERS IN THE ZOO (1933)
A word to the wise. If you tend toward criminal or maniacal behavior and possess uncontrollable, if warranted, jealousy, stay away from exotic animals, their habitats, and zoos. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. The Classic Movie Blog Association (CMBA) is hosting the Early Shadows & Pre-Code Horror blogathon this week and I could not resist the topic. So much so, in fact, that I chose two classics at random that I have never seen.

And I had to drop one of the GOATS:

"...I think Cab Calloway's zoot suit, style, performances blew me out of the water[...]I wanted to know[...]How do I create something original that is inspired by what I love, fashion and film?"
