Dress Up and Play

Some Colleen

This is STILL one of my all time favorite dresses:

 

Colleen Atwood designed this for Sleepy Hollow.

Vera Ellen's Easter

Vera Ellen is painting eggs!

Happy Easter

My favorite part about Easter is the annual Ten Commandments showing on ABC. Over the years they've moved it from Sunday to Saturday- probably because after the first of a million hours families everywhere realize they have more important things to do. But oh my goodness if it isn't the most sumptuous self indulgent film ever. I effing love it.

This a costume sketch by Marilyn Sotto from her book "The Art of Costume Design".

The designers on this film are many: Edith Head, Arnold Friberg, Dorothy Jeakins, John Jensen, and Ralph Jester.

Let's look at some more Yul Brynner in his glory.

great wardrobe test shots

same costume as above but in full regalia.


Look at that snarl. You want to run away and fall into his lap at the same time.

There is a gorgeous video of clips of him from this movie here
However since whoever made that video doesn't want anyone to watch it (apparently), let's watch a funny trailer:

Cheri

Oooh! Look at all the pretty pictures!

This is a new Michelle Pfeiffer movie entitled "Cheri".

 

 

 

I am *in love* with the color in this movie. Michelle's skin just glows in every photo.

The costumes are by Consolata Boyle. Looks like she's finally gotten a great shot at doing something truly beautiful for beauty's sake. (Which is not always the point of costume design, but fun to look at nonetheless.) She has a pretty extensive work history, but nothing that sings like this does... unless you count Mary Rielly... which we don't.

Lady Gaga on Idol

I lurved this outfit.
