Today's Julia-7/23
« on: July 24, 2002, 04:18:14 AM »
Julia looked great today. Make up and hair were quite becoming. Though I can't imagine the character being vain enough to put that much work into herself. Julia doesn't strike me as the heavy mascara and eye-shadow type. I think of her more as a "take me as I am" type.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of Grayson's scenes today; my favorite being the exchange with Barnabas at the Old House concerning spying on Nicholas by invading his house by the sea. The body language was fabulous as they both seemed to get a kick out of the whole thing with their half-smiles. It was so real, I loved it.

Okay, what's with the gloves? Driving gloves? A fashion statement? It's not winter in Collinsport, is it?  Perhaps gloves were just "in" then, as hats were for men before the Kennedy years. Just wondering.

Yes, gloves were worn more often back in the 60's....especially in church.....which has nothing to do with anything.

You're right, Rainey! Gloves were de rigueur for Sunday Mass.  I remember having suit, hat and gloves that matched for Easter.  

The only time I wear gloves every day is during the winter.

We didn't do hats.....we're Sicilian and I can only picture my Mother, Aunts and Grandmother in those miserable veils.

I thought of them every time the talking heads on the news ranted about Islamic women having to wear the chador or the burka....like they had no frame of reference for that right here at home.

Sorry....what's THAT got to do with Dark Shadows?!

;D  I remember having to wear gloves & a hat to church as a child.  They were "the fashion" back then.  Boy have times changed!!  No hats or gloves now. :)

I don't smoke. But do you realize how many people you might have offended by such a statement...

Excuse me but I was speaking of the "media" stereotyping of smokers. . usually only villans smoke.  BTW-I smoke a bit when the vodka moves me and I didn't find anything offensive. . but then again, i **knew** what I meant.. . light(en) up VAM.

I think the extra eye makeup was used to emphasize the paleness that was still apparent in Julia's face. Even though Tom was destroyed, Julia had lost alot of blood, therefore she still wasn't back to her old self yet. :)

Julia99--I remember when I first was watching the tapes of DS.  My mom was in the room and saw Julia light up (this is first when Julia first came to Collinwood) and she told me that this meant that Julia was a villain.

She said that was typical for the time period.  If a show or movie had a woman smoking, it was code for something, usually that she was bad or loose or whatever.

And my mother was smoking cigarettes back in 1967--I think it's just one of those things that audiences would have immediately understood, much in the way that they got that when Bette Davis and Paul Henreid lit up during Now Voyager that it was code for sex.

Symbols and their meaning change.
