What I mean by the LBD being the first thing that came to mind is that I just knew I had to have a dress like that. Maybe not that exact dress, but a dress that I could throw on for anything. My LBD is a DvF black wrap, but it's the same idea.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And Jilli, I'm blaming you for introducing me to polyvore and thus having it eat my whole evening last night.

I'm ... sorry? Yeah, Polyvore is insanely addictive.

To bring it back to the topic at hand, I pretty much recreated a modern version of Marylin's outfit in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

The pink dress? Or something else?
Speaking of Audrey Hepburn and fashion, I naturally think of Funny Face.

Pink dress, yes. I know Funny Face is on "the list" but I haven't seen it and don't feel like I could write about it in the post-though I don't know why I'm being so hard on myself, because without me, D would have to do it and I don't think he's given half as much thought to fashion in movies as I have.

Because books.
My weirdo fashion inspiration was the HBO movie Iron-Jawed Angels. I wanted a complete 1920s wardrobe immediately.

I loved the fashion in Heathers so much at the time that I went right out and bought blue tights (just like Veronica!).

Just got back from Jennifer's Body, thought it was interesting in a post-Buffy way. Dug up an interview with the director. They talk about quite a few things, the most surprising to me was that John Sayles worked on an unproduced Brother Termite script.

Jennifer's Body is going to be a cult favorite, I am pretty sure. Once it hit its stride, it totally sucked me in, and I think it will improve on rewatch.
