Gone With The Wind

“The Curtain Dress, symbol of Scarlett’s will to survive, was worn in three scenes: the jail scene in which Scarlett asks Rhett for financial assistance, the scene in which Scarlett walks through the Atlanta streets with Mammy, and the scene in which Scarlett meets Frank Kennedy.

Also known as the Drapery Dress and the Portieres Dress, the dress has a moss green velvet over-skirt that parts in the front to reveal a chartreuse velvet underskirt. It has fitted sleeves with a semi-cape on the left shoulder and a drapery cord belt.The color of the dress presented Plunkett with several problems. It had to suit the color of Vivien Leigh’s eyes and it had to conform to Technicolor specifications. Furthermore, it had to look as if it were made from the draperies at Tara. So the dress was aged as if the sun had faded the material.

The replica of the green curtain dress worn by Scarlett O’Hara was made of 16 yards of Italian cotton velveteen. The silk tassels and cording were reproduced by Scalamandre of New York. The dress took over 200 hours to complete, from April 22 to July 8, 1986. The original is also housed at the Ransom Center.

La Blanchett

"Indiana Jones"

"I'm Not There"

"Aviator"

"Elisabeth"

Cate Blanchett is simply beautiful! One of my favourite actresses... and one of the few true divas. A Diva in the sense of being a lady, elegant, a bit distant and mysterious, an actress devoted to her art.

"Oscar and Lucinda"

"Charlotte Gray"

Women In Films

Have you already heard about the Bechdel-test? It's about how common and active women are represented in films. Very simple but interesting!
Three questions:
1. Are there two or more women who have names?
2. Do they talk to each other?
3. Do they talk about something besides men?

It's not scientific or about the quality of the film. It's just a very interesting point of view, which is worth thinking about it. And rather scary.
This lady explains it very well. Enjoy!

Running Wild With Miss Monroe

Running wild, lost control.
Running wild, mighty bold.
Feeling gay, reckless too,
carefree mind all the time, never blue.
Always going, don't know where,
always showing..I don't care!
Don't love nobody, it's not worthwhile.
All alone, running wild!

Reaching For The Moon

Two films by and with Wendy Bevan, which I can't stop watching... If you love silent films and femmes fatales, bittersweet feelings and surreal moods: let yourself fall into the world of Miss Bevan!

Teardrops And Diamonds

"The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond" is based on a story by Tennessee Williams. Beautiful costumes... looove her style with her messy bob, orange lipstick and the faux-fur leopard coat! ...*sigh*

Rrrrred-Heads

A little hommage to all those ladies with this fabulous colored hair. A friend of mine likes to call me Lucy, so here is Lucille Ball (1911-1989), the lady I remind her of...


She became famous in the comedy-serie "I Love Lucy", more here.

Reefer Madnesssssss

Sin and debauchery?! Doesn't sound too bad to me....

Lady Blue in Shanghai

Dior's latest handbag-campaign, written and directed by David Lynch, art-direction by Galliano, and starring Marion Cottilard. Mysterious and romantic as we know Mr Lynch.

Guy Bourdin

A film about another fantastic photographer: Guy Bourdin (1928-1991).
He for sure changed fashion-photography completely, made it shocking, provocative, explicit and stunning!

J'adore Charlotte Rampling

Self-portraits with Juergen Teller and the incredible beautiful Charlotte Rampling for the book Louis XV.
She is one of my icons: bold, beautiful (showing that sexiness and beauty has nothing to do with age, but with your mindset), not afraid of taking risks, showing her erotically side, even the dark ones... yes she is incomparable!
A hotel room, passion, decadence, sex and debauchery...

“Charlotte arrived, and I was totally starting to sweat. She said, Now what are we going to do? I said, I’m going to show you what I’m going to wear. So I went into the bedroom, and I came out in these silver underpants. And she said, What the hell is that? I was smoking my cigarette, breaking out in a sweat. I said, Well, I was just thinking I could kiss you and fondle your breasts. She sat down and got herself a cigarillo. She didn’t say anything. The whole room was quiet for what seemed like months. I was, like, Oh my God, that is the most stupid thing I’ve ever said, how stupid was that? She just dragged on the cigarillo and crossed her legs, and she said: OK, let’s go. I’ll tell you when to stop. I thought, Oh my God, genius. I can’t believe I’m getting away with it.”
A Cabaret scene from the movie "The night-porter" 1974, with a young Charlotte

And a scene from the film "Heading South" 2005, about female sexuality, male prostitution and the "north-south"-conflict.
