I couldn't have said it better myself!
I've started my own local "Fedora Gang" here in L.A. and a walk down Hollywood Blvd stops folks dead in their tracks. They're thirsting for the return to classy dress and a sense of style. My gang of friends keeps growing and we're constantly getting...
Really nice work
I just visited your site, Nora! Very nice work. I really like your style and treatments in different media. Brava! Wish you the best and keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Lance
We have four cats
The thought of losing any of our cats just tightens my heart. They're like our children. I don't know how I will cope with their loss and so, let me add my condolences to the ones you've already received, Katie. Take care.
Many more to come
Thanks, Bruno. We were all pissing on ice. Everything was jake.
I'll post the next non-bachelor event here. Maybe we can attract some woo-bait all zazooed out? Of course the next time the boys go out, my frail will have this gee all tied up in knots...
Bringin' back the fedora, one head at a time.
I called it the “Bachelor Adventure Ride!” and it was a blast (My bachelor party - gettin' hitched on August 10). The "posse" left the roscoes at home, but the fedoras and double-breasted suits accompanied us to several LA hotspots with...
The Jar Jar Binks is a good point
I have to agree that Lucas seems to have altered his world view a bit (the explanation of "the Force" as some kind of parasite really ruined Star Wars for me... even worse than Jar Jar), but it's a rare opportunity to see an action hero through the natural act...
Go ahead... you're among friends here....
So you're a Rondo fan? The Creeper! I would love to hear about your reasons for the moniker although a bit off topic.
Come on.... give us a better clue as to the club you no longer frequent and why... a little dish never hurt..... er...
LA area members and surrounding environs too, of course - I just happen to be in Burbank.
Are there any regular hangouts that local members are already meeting at? I'm curious to know which of my neighbors share my enthusiasm with the Classic Era? Sound off! Roll call!
Ya put the finger on this boob!
Thanks for the correction. I got the right dame, just the wrong flick. I meant, Veronica Lake in "I Married a Witch" (1942) A sappy movie, but what a woman! She makes me dizzy.
Oh and Veronica Lake!
Veronica Lake, in "Bell, Book and Candle." I was bewitched from the moment I saw her. I'm a sucker for blonde enchantresses. Nice besoms too!
Bogey knew what he was getting into
Lauren Bacall. Wow. Sultry, sexy and mysterious. Myrna Loy had a little less mystery but made up for it with vivaciousness.
Hello Rick,
A lot of what you described resonated with me. I've had a "Dynafelt" fedora for about 25 years that I bought in the magnificent Pacific Northwest, but I also lost my "Indiana Jones" fedora under rather ridiculous circumstances (too embarrassed to mention here). I never leave the...
I wish it was in Auburn.
My first "professional" acting gig was in Auburn, Washington! The Avenue Act I Theatre. (Is that place still around?) I played Bogey in "Play It Again, Sam!" I miss the Pacific Northwest. If I could pick up the film industry and move it anywhere in the country, I...
Fun with filters
Don't forget to experiment with Film Grain, Spatter, and Noise under the Filter menu.
It's all experiments until you find the look you like. These examples don't work to my satisfaction yet, but I whipped them together to show some filter variation.
Are pocket watches out of the question?
I've been "sans" wristwatch now for a couple of years in favor of the distinctive pocket watch with an assortment of fobs for when I'm not wearing a vest. I highly recommend them.
Hammett is great, but I favor Chandler
I can't get enough of Chandler, but what I've read of Hammett is pretty terrific too. Very interesting to see how closely they used to follow books when drafting a screenplay. "The Maltese Falcon" is so true to the book with just a few exceptions that I am...
I am awed by this illustrious cast of characters!
I've lurked a bit on and off for some time now, but I've only just joined the crew and I'm mighty glad I've waited no longer. I haven't read all the bios of our new brethren, but I can tell you that I already hold much in common to our Canuke...
Helluva crew!
I'm new to the board, but eager to play. This one's about a year old. Some great locations in downtown Los Angeles. There are some incredible dives that scream 1940 skid row. I could tell you some stories....
