Pinup, vintage fashion, vintage home, Jane Austen's Emma, and Miracles from Molecules!
This blog is a hodgepodge, so i figure I should adapt it for more gloriously random uses. I think I’ll start posting some of the outfits I slap up on various fashion communities. I will also endeavor to post the interesting media (or not-so-interesting media) that I’m always slapping up on Facebook. And other stuff. I promise.
Mainly thinking out loud.
And now, a silly Depeche Mode video.
So another old edition of Emma wuz auctioned today.
Also, IndiaTimes presents a short article about Ayesha star Sonam Kapoor, who discusses her work on the film, endorsements, and future projects. According to the piece, Ayesha will drop in April, 2010.
Also, happy holidays. My little tree and I salute you…

Cool. There’s even a little preview clip available.
…are here.
Haven’t been able to get any good episode 3 caps because the only available, trustworthy source had a sign interpreter superimposed on every frame. 🙁 Will search for a workable file in the meantime.
But I don’t have time to deal with site redesigns right now. /nonsequitur. You may have noticed that Storied is gone. The initial wave of interest dissipated, and I decided I didn’t want to deal with constant Joomla and plugin updates if nobody was actively using the site.
Emma bidness. I’ve noticed a fair amount of Miss Woodhouse-inspired items listed on Etsy. My favorite so far is this tiny Emma Woodhouse Mouse.
And whilst I lag on my own Emma 4 episode 3/4 screencaps, you can peruse other people’s. Laurel Ann discovered a huge collection of E4 caps on Livejournal.
Also. Masterpiece Classic has an Emma 4 site up. Airdates will be sundays, January 24-February 7, 2010.
Random updates to the Emma Adaptations Pages to follow.
So I’ve been woefully out of touch with the Haunted Mansion scene lately, partly because I don’t have time and partly because I’m sick to death of the merch-o-rama effect that surrounds every attraction milestone. I didn’t attend the 40th anniversary festivities that coincided with the D23 Expo back in September, but I did find this cute interactive Haunted Mansion feature at the Disney site. It features a version of Rolly Crump’s Corridor of Doors wallpaper (for your desktop – basically a larger version of what I offer at Better Haunts & Graveyards), a video clip on the mansion, a stretching portrait gag, little photo galleries, and more. Oh, and it also features my Disney alterego, Marc Davis’ April D., morphing from April to June to September to December. 🙂
Jonny Lee Miller is an “absurdly young Mr. Knightley”?
He’s 36, people. And Mr. Knightley, according to Miss Austen, is “a sensible man of about seven or eight-and-thirty.” Further, Dude’s a very youthful 37 or 38:
“His tall, firm, upright figure, among the bulky forms and stooping shoulders of the elderly men, was such as Emma felt must draw everybody’s eyes; and, excepting her own partner [Frank], there was not one among the whole row of young men who could be compared with him. He moved a few steps nearer, and those few steps were enough to prove how gentlemanlike a manner, with what natural grace, he must have danced, would he but take the trouble.” (At the Crown In Ball.)
Geez.
