It’s divorce, 1930’s style again. What more do I need to say?

If you were paying attention to the last update, this one shouldn’t be a surprise. Or maybe it should be since I actually “found the time” to do it. We return to the warm, thick fox blanket that is the 1930s with Times Square Lady, a 1935 film starring Virginia Bruce. Times Square Lady –…

Time to kick off the New Year with something I’ll not be able to outdo: the best fur fashion film of all time: The Mad Miss Manton. I was wavering on that opinion because I hadn’t really seen it in a while, but now that I’ve dug through almost every frame with a glistening guard…

Furs on Film – The Annabel Films (1938)

At the risk of exposing an opinion that may be slightly outside the “mainstream,” I do not, in fact, love Lucy. I do love Annabel, though, who is played by a twenty-seven-year-old Lucille Ball during her time as a film star before an admittedly pioneering gig on one of television’s most memorable shows. While television…

Furs On Television – Bring Me the Head of Dobie Gillis (1988)
Heading back to more familiar territory, the 1980s, with one from “the vaults” of older caps. Always nice to be reminded what a truly spectacular decade that was. With any luck, the fashion cycle will replay it sooner rather than later. I’m filing this under “television” and not film because it was a TV movie,…

Soap.net abandoned me a while back. I knew I was in trouble the minute I saw commercials for 90210. As I knew it would, the network’s line-up was slowly overtaken by 90’s soaps. Except for 60 minutes in the wee hours of the morning for Ryan’s Hope, the network is devoid of any worthwhile programming.…

Furs in Film – Rendezvous (1935)

Hollywood is generally guilty of some excess when it comes to period pieces. People complain that anachronistic tools, dialog, and fashion mar the audience’s immersion in the supposed “period.” I’ve never really had a problem with this, and it’s gratifying when it works in our fashionable favor, as with the 1935 spy flick, Rendezvous. Rendezvous…

Furs in Film – Love is News (1937)

Going from famous, Oscar-winning films to something a bit more out-of-the-way. Like today, there was no shortage of cinematically pedestrian movies produced in the ’30s. The studio system churned out film after film, and not all of them were destined for greatness, a fact the studios were well aware of. Fortunately, even these films were…

Furs in Film – Roberta (1935)
This series of posts will focus on a single film, one in which fur fashion is notably well represented. This set is based on a recent update of one of the first galleries, and I’m leaving both galleries up just to see how much better I am at this than I used to be. First…

“For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these: ‘It might have been.’” Now that John Greenleaf Whittier is spinning in his grave over the use of that rather brilliant turn of phrase on a blog, we can move on to talk about Paper Dolls. Paper Dolls – The Show From September…
