DR Vixmom, that is miserable having to be at work when you feel cruddy! Hope you feel better soon!

JRAnd54, I am not very familiar with most of the costume designers, but one that I do like very much is Vera West who did the costumes for all of the wonderful 1940s Universal films...she put some big, big, BIG, shoulders on Evelyn Ankers, Lois Collier, and Anne Gwynne...and they all looked lovely!

One of my favorite individual costumes is June Kenney's big white dress in ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE that she wears after being shrunken down to about the size of a Barbie doll.

I'd say Walter Plunkett did the most eye-catching designs for films, so he's my favorite. I think he did the SINGIN' IN THE RAIN clothes, and he's most famous for GONE WITH THE WIND. He won an Oscar for his work on AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, though I think he was only responsible for the black and white ball costumes. (Irene Sharaff, another favorite, did the ballet costumes.)

My "homemade" chicken soup recipe consists of Lipton Chicken noodle soup, a can of LeSeur Carrots and freshly ground black pepper

Ummm... Excuse me, it's "First you breed your chicken..."  -But, of course, that's only after you've found the proper parcel of land to breed them on, so...

;)

And as for my Dad... I shall find out shortly.  I need to get ready to head over to the hospital.  I've been dealing with a stuffy nose this morning too, but, thankfully, it's just been my usual morning "stuff", so...  All clear now.

I'll catch up and read more of the posts later... So...

Laters...

I have to echo bk's enthusiasm for Ken Bloom's BROADWAY MUSICALS. I ordered a copy sight unseen for a friend for Christmas and when it came yesterday not in shrink wrap, I flipped through it. Beautiful pictures and interesting text. I am ordering one for myself after Christmas, just in case someone gives me one this year.

DR JRand, the special features on the first disc of the MICKEY MOUSE CLUB DVD include a touching remembrance of Jimmie Dodd. There are some fine home movies; he seems to have "adopted" the Mouseketeers as his kids since he didn't have any children of his own.

There are also several sections of stills - some color and some B&W that I enjoyed.

Yes, I'll book forward to a report on SCENT OF A MYSTERY once it finally gets screened. I want to know if it's a REAL mystery or just a thriller.

I'm up at the cabin! It's not raining, is the news. So lovely in the forest. very quiet here. I got up the mountain last night. Long drive from LA.

So today I check out my show, which is in one huge case in my tool trailer. Put the stuff together, repair or replace whatever is mouldy or eaten by rats... then I'm heading down to Redmond to do some errand-type stuff, then back to get the water on. Oh, how lovely indoor running water is!

Jose, I'm sorry your dad isn't well. Good vibes to him.

My mom starts chemo today. She says if she doesn't start throwing up, she'll continue. Otherwise, just kill her NOW!! She has a dark sense of humor these days, but a sense of humor, nevertheless. I had to grow up to do comedy!

On the way up I listened to the CD that comes with the BK book - well, gang, the songs are swell! Makes my mouth water for the actual musical... I do believe there is a part for me in there somewhere...

okay, later, kids!

chicken soup:

take most of the skin and ALL of the yellow fat off your dead chicken. Put it in a large soup pot and cover it with clean water. Toss a couple of stalks of celery and a large carrot or two into the pot, and a whole yellow onion. Peel a whole head of garlic, and put the cloves into the pot. Toss in a scant fistfull of mixed peppercorns, and two or three bay leaves. Let the pot simmer for a couple of hours. DO NOT BOIL or your broth may cloud up. Remove the chicken and veg's and skim the top of the pot. Take the meat off the bones and put it back in, cut the celery and carrot up and put them back. Add whatever other vegetables you like: I put in mushrooms, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, whatever I have. But purists keep it very simple and add only matzoh balls (that's another day's recipe) or rice or noodles. Cook 'til the stuff you added is done, and suck it down! Save some for me!

I don't know that much about the designers, but I ...
Love Errol Flynn's Robin Hood getup.
Even better than Errol's costume is the series of gowns Milo Anderson designed for Olivia de Havilland.  Have you ever noticed that the costumes mirror her character arc?  She moves from a cold metalic brocade in the banquet scene, to a burgundy gown in the forest, to a shimmery white and blue number at the archery contest, back to "trapped" in metalic tones when Robin is trapped in the prison...well, on and on until she's she's almost pure in that satin gown on the stairs while listening in on the baddies below.  Gorgeous use of design and color.
