The Divine Miss M

Check out the Divine Miss M post on J.B. Taylor- Divine!

Dance till your Dead

Check out the sleeves! Scrumptious- who's styling her for this album?? I love them whoever they be.

Happy Memorial Day!

Bust out the cute outfits- it's summertime!

Wizard of Oz illustration from I don't know who- found it in a magazine isn't it cute?

The Unsinkable Molly Brown

I found this image of Ms Debbie Reynolds playing the Unsinkable Molly Brown in an issue of Good Housekeeping from July 1964. It's an interesting pic that they used to compare the gowns of costume designer Morton Haack to the real Molly's unabashed Nouveau Riche crossover look- they're two different worlds to me. 

So here are some more of the Real Molly just for historical sake:

Well it's obvious from these past two pics that she loved Gros Point Lace.

 

In fact it's obvious she just loved ALL kinds of lace.

Grey Gardens

Well over a year ago I reported on the making of the new Grey Gardens movie starring Drew Barrymore: see that post here.

And now I think we've all seen it? I watched it a bit later as I was really busy the past couple weeks but I loved it. I thought it was great and Drew was fantastic. She definitely far exceeded expectations.

Let's look at some pretty pictures, k?

Also check out some brief behind the scenes convo with Catherine Marie Thomas here.
