Title: Secret Closet?
Post by: Julia99 on April 30, 2003, 06:09:45 PM
With all the different coats, handbags, shoes, gloves and changes in dress style since coming back from 1897. . .does Julia have a hidden closet?  There is no way all her crap can possible fit into that armoire in her bedroom.  [rollr][rollr]. . I'm sure Elizabeth is thinking, "I guess she's here to stay. . ."

Perhaps the armoire is actually a wardrobe from the Narnia Furniture Collection.  As I recall, they are quite roomy... ::)

BTW, wouldn't it have been great to see an episode devoted to Julia on a shopping spree, hopping from boutique to boutiqe, trying on all the latest fashions that Collinsport has to offer?  And, of course, Chris Jennings would have been right behind her, carrying all her purchases.  ;D

Regards,

John

Oh yes, John, I definitely want to see Julia's shopping spree. One of my favorite sequences in Satan in High Heels is the infamous "montage" clip where Grayson takes Missy out for her fashion makeover.  There are some hilarious, all too brief shots of Grayson in one of those early Sixties Paris knockoff hats with the huge wavy brim and a jacket with this big elaborate gilt fob hanging off one side puffing on her endless cigarette holder appraising her gal in the latest ensemble.  And all played to jazzy beat coffeehouse style music. FABULOUS!

I can just see Julia as they return to Collinwood:  "Chris, darling, it's so hot in here.  Don't you want to take your shirt off now???"

Thanks for the link. As many times as I've seen my favorite Grayson flick it's always nice to see another reminder of a priceless character.

Bette  (wondering where I can get one of those hats!)

Just wait until 1995, when Julia wears the same outfit, day in, day out for two weeks.  Some dry cleaner, when she returns to 1970, is going to clean up big time.

John, doll, YOU ARE A GOD!

thankyouthankyouthankyou for that FABOU link.

You and I are SO on the same page about The Divine One.  One of the oldtime fans recalled on one occasion that her Dad also worshipped at the Shrine of Grayson and used to say:  "There's God the Father, God the Son, and Grayson Hall ... and the first two better watch Their Step!" (my apologies if this offends any individuals in the audience)

That's cute Gothick!

Also, am I the only one that noticed how much nicer Grayson's facial make-up has been lately?  (I think Luciaphil had mentioned this in her Idle Thoughts post)  Whatever make-up they're using is definetely doing her justice because she looks great.

It seems to be more a case of what they're not using. Much lighter touch.

Nice to see. Won't be too long before the lighting gets really funky and the entire cast starts to take on a chartreuse hue, so enjoy it while it lasts :)

Julia does seem to look much better these days, less tired and stressed out.  I had just attributed this to her not having to worry over Barnabas and not always running over to him at all hours of the night.  ;)

I imagine one day only thirty years ago. . . in a makeup chair far far away, Grayson Hall, tired and irritated and hot (New York summer) slaps away large hands holding a huge tube of liquid eyeliner,  and yells, Let me do IT!

Hence, Julia has a "new look". . . as a stage actress I'm sure she often did her own makeup.  Even today (or really 15 years ago when i watched daily) if you notice a particular actress or actresses has good makeup on a soap, I'd read that they applied their own. . .

Yes I also heard that Katherine L Scott always applied her own make up which probably is why her skin always looked so flawless.  I always opted to doing ones own makeup also.

Actually...I think that's hilarious!
