Idle Thoughts--Freudian Slips 7/22-7/25
Philippe Cordier:
P.S. I don't really mind the Liz's obsession with death storyline at all, though I know most people complain about it. Anything's better than the create-a-mate-for-potential-killer-Adam business.
And actually the death obsession and being buried alive are preoccupations in much of Poe's work. They speak to all of our deepest fears (at least the first one) though we manage not to think about it too much.

--- Quote ---abbeymarch--if you ever met me (or you can ask Nancy, she has), you would know that I'm not exactly the sort who buys her clothes at Saks. I hate to iron. I don't wear skirts or dresses much and my figure is closer to Mrs. J's than Maggie's. My clothes, for that matter, tend toward the dull, conservative, and the plain--I make sure they are cleaned, not too wrinkled, and that they cover the requisite amount of skin.
I am, in short, one of the last people in the world who should be playing "Mr. Blackwell." ;)

LOL, Luciaphil is indeed a clean, non-objectionably dressed people. However, she does have this one bright lime green dress shaped like an awning I never liked and I've felt uncomfortable mentioning it to her . .honey, the lime green dress has gotta go!

Unless it's poly/cotton & you can toss it the dryer, I'm not interested. I use my iron for touch ups if what I want to wear didn't come out of the dryer fast enough.
As someone who has spent a tiny amount of time backstage as a costume person...sometimes what you thought was going to be for someone just didn't fit at all, so someone else got it. I think the taupe was originally meant for someone with darker colouring. With TV lighting, Blondes in neutrals can be disastrous.
IMO, Mostoller did not dress Joan Bennett. She may have brought back a lot of possible choices for her, but I think JB eihter chose her own, or someone else did.
I also don't think there were fittings either.
Well, enough prostletizing..I have to get ready for work. So annoying.

I met Ramse Mostellor in 1993 and the impression I got was that she did all the costumes on DS but had to fight with the producer seemingly every single day to get the basic stuff she wanted. The same happened in the movie. In other words, it didn't appear that she got much financial cooperation where dressing the actors was concerned.
