vintage shows

Every few months I read about a vintage show in another country than my own and wish I had some similar resource for the shows they actually hold here in New York. I'm going to try and list shows whenever I can, despite the country, in the hopes that I might help someone discover something they didn't know was happening.

Whatever Happened to the Femme Fatale?

I don't even remember where I pulled this from, but I've had it saved in my email box with a little yellow star next to it since apparently February 27th. 1 week is just sheer laziness on my part.

In England, as part of the Bird's Eye View Women's Film Festival, numerous silent cinema movies will be screened all the month of March.

To read a great article about the Femme Fatale and get more information on the movies, go here:

Stephen Jones hats

I will be weaping giant basketball sized tears for months due to the fact that I was in London a mere 1.5 weeks before the Stephen Jones show opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Anyone who is living in, or heading over to, that side of the pond - this is a must see! Check out some of the eye candy here as well as get information on location and visiting times
