One more #CinemaConnection from last night's #Grammys. Loved seeing @lizzobeeating in @balmain channeling #AvaGardner in #VeraWest for THE KILLERS (1946). Of course it's the same look on the cover of my book #FilmNoirStyle! #filmnoir #oldhollywood #classichollywood #styleinspiration #TCM https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcfFPMHuql/?igshid=4ofytyhw7xe7

So, I've been gone...

I got really wrapped up in writing and self-publishing. I've never been good at juggling, so my apologies to anyone who cares to follow my little bloggy-thing.

Venku(s) is out! Working on the third book now; I was a freak and wrote the fourth during nanowrimo and now I'm back-tracking and writing the third book. I'm pretty sure I am madness with no method. ;)

Happy International Women's Day! Costume design is such an important factor in filmmaking and I constantly show how vital it is to the legacy of film. Women made enormous contributions to the art form. Here are just a few of the greats of Old Hollywood - #ClareWest, #DollyTree, #GwenWakeling, #BonnieCashin, #LeahRhodes, #VeraWest, #IreneLentzGibbons, #EdithHead, and #HelenRose. #TCM #oldhollywood #classichollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKdBoylWZ6/?igshid=1k08tj9xykjl6
