TIL about Rita Ryack, Costume Designer for How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

Rita hails from Boston, MA and has a career that spans over 40 years. Her first project as a professional costume designer was on Broadway, for a show called "My One and Only" in 1983. Here's a sneak peak of her designs from the play bill. (I have a couple of other pics from this but they didn't fit in this post. Let me know if you wanna see!)

I feel like her costuming style is like "how can we make this a LOT more cunt???" The Grinch is a perfect example cause she did not have to go this hard.

She also worked on Michael Jackson's "Bad" music video. Here's a picture of them on set.

She also worked on two of my favorite movies growing up, Hairspray (2007) and The Cat in the Hat (2003). Oh and this is a deep cut but she also worked on the movie Teeth (2007) IFYKYK

Anyway her credits are long AF and I bet you can find a movie you love on her IMBD. Check out her website here to find a gallery of all her work.

Costume designers are so important to the arts and I'm always investigating who's behind my favorite on screen looks.

Thanks for raising me, Rita!

Time Travel Question 73: Assorted Performances XII

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration.

This is the last of the already prepped Performances polls left. Have more suggestions? Feel free to weigh in.

Unless there is a landslide of suggestions, we'll be going back to the 20th century and earlier soon. I do have some music polls I want to run in February, which will effect the posting schedule.

Glinda, the good witch🫧

It’s raining and I love a good cliche. So, I’m going to rewatch Singing in the Rain.

I’m also going to take this moment to dote all over Donald O’ Conner in this movie. I realize there can be more than one star in a film but ever since I first saw this movie as a kid he has always stolen the show for me.

He is absurdly funny, and the delivery of his witticism’s and quips is just so sharp and fresh. His dancing is astounding, for Gene being historically recognized as the famous dancer, Donald feels hot on his heels through many, if not all the dance numbers. His moves and facial expressions are spring loaded and full of character and story. It’s very obvious in “Make ‘Em Laugh” but also really evident and fun to watch in “Moses Supposes”.

And who can resist those big baby blues on the man. Very charming.

Born on this day 100 years ago: outrageous cabaret chanteuse, fringe “outsider actress”, occasional Warhol superstar (she crops up in his films Camp (1965) and Ari and Mario (1966)), show business doyenne, bohemian earth mother, vivid scene-maker in New York’s underground art subculture in the sixties and seventies and all-round diva Tally Brown (1 August 1924 – 6 May 1989). I know it’s virtually impossible to see, but queer New German cinema maverick auteur Rosa von Praunheim’s 1979 documentary Tally Brown, New York is essential viewing. He preserves Brown’s riveting nightclub act (interweaving David Bowie and Rolling Stones tunes with Kurt Weill torch songs and jazz standards) and her personal offstage life. As the title implies, von Praunheim positions flaming creature Brown - a native New Yorker - as the personification of her city’s decayed glamour. And if that’s not enough, Brown’s pal Divine crops up at one point. (Brown jokes about regularly getting mistaken for Divine - and even signing autographs as him). You can find fragments of it on YouTube. Tally Brown was a woman and a half! Pictured: portrait of Brown by Francesco Scavullo, 1969. Read more here.
