    Have I already seen this video? yes. Will I watch it anyway because it looks amazing and it's just relaxing to watch while crocheting? also yes. I love you digging up those videos cause while I watched them all, it's fun to rewatch some of these beauties.

      I love the *idea* of wearing my nice clothes at home... I get momentarily excited every time I encounter the idea.
      but removing cat hair from them, or denying kitteh snuggles while I'm watching TV just aren't options I'm willing to accept.
      Ahhh well...

    Have you ever seen a film called My Man Godfrey? Not a noir, but stuffed full of glorious early 1930s fashion, and it's surprisingly progressive for its time in the way it skewers the disparity between the haves and the have-nots in the Great Depression. Come for the costumes, stay for the social commentary, I guess!

    I remember! Sometimes I forget that you've always been glamorous but you really kicked up a notch by making "the Millionaire Milliner" film. The story, music and of course you acting was off the chart. Unfortunately I don't have what it takes to wear the gown, but I love seeing it created.

    Hi, I'm pretty certain that I answered your question about my favorite Film Noir back when this dress was new, but I'll answer again as it hasn't changed. It's The Seventh Seal, directed by a very young Ingmar Bergman. The lack of nice clothes to pull from that one is even more meager than from The Maltese Falcon, as it takes place in the age of the first pandemic Black Death in history, and in rural Sweden no less. No interesting dress at all, unless you count Max von Sydow's Death costume.
    Other than that it's another case of where are time running to. It wasn't that long ago you made that necklace you're wearing in the original outro. Except it must have been, and I've misplaced some years somewhere. Very aggravating. I hope you have a good time looking at houses, and that you will tell us all about it in due course.Yours, Ann

    I said, “I know that guy over there (my friend), I know my family, and I guess I know you now. Who am I supposed to know? What a weird question!”
