One Dress a Day Challenge

February: Coeli's Monochrome Picks

The Awful Truth / Irene Dunne as Lucy Warriner

One of the things I love about black and white movies is these bold designs on clothing. It feels like you don't see that so often in color movies, or maybe it just pops more in B&W because of the high contrast. The shape of this dress is also unique, as is the scarf/cravat effect in front. You might say this is the "quirky 1930s," as opposed to the sleek "classic 1930s" look from yesterday.

Costumes for this movie were designed by (Robert) Kalloch.

Buster Keaton talking about his passion for the cinema of Jacques Tati and in particular for the film Les vacances de monsieur Hulot. Probable date: February 1962, when Buster Keaton was visiting Paris to admire the collections of Henri Langlois, founder of the Cinémathèque française.

I realize that this almost definitely falls under a broader [big gesturing] Problematic Umbrella™ when you're talking about old films, and that all the other excruciatingly Of Its Time stuff must drown it out, but it's weird to me that no one comments about how much spanking there is in vintage movies.

Like not even as something for corporeal punishment for kids, but between adults and actual protagonists

The Bride Wore Red / Joan Crawford as Anni Pavlovitch

A lovely example of a mid-30s silhouette, very sleek and sophisticated. The beads give it a heft and sparkle that shows up nicely in black and white. But I must admit that when I saw the photo of the actual dress, it made me kind of wish the film had been in color!

Moonshine - 1918

[alaa-pales]

Cases of Skin Rash are increasing everyday because of bacterial , fungal or viral infections , on the other sides alot of insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and flies, which act as vectors. What we are witnessing in shelter centers and displacement camps from the accumulation of stagnant water and inadequate management of waste and sanitation provides a fertile ground for disease vectors. Every day we see in our Medical point about 50 cases of multi-cause rash. 😥💔
