On Tuesdays, I run a classic film screening. On Fridays, I (try to) write about these movies.
This week’s film: Sabrina (1954) – Dir: Billy Wilder; starring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden.

Dressed to Impress
Entertainment Weekly has a new photo gallery of the best and most memorable dresses seen in the movies. The gallery includes some of my favorite movie fashions, such as:
- Audrey Hepburn’s black Givenchy dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s
- Keira Knightley’s green dress in Atonement
- Grace Kelly’s dress in Rear Window.
But I think the list needs some additions. Such as: Sarah Jessica Parker’s Vivienne Westwood wedding gown from the Sex and the City movie. (There was a BIRD on her head.) 
Rachel McAdams disasterous spring fling dress from Mean Girls (she couldn’t fit into a size 1,3 or 5) 
Sissy Spacek’s prom dress from Carrie. 
Got any favorites to add to the list?

Only 7 days!
Coming Soon! Sex and the City

Because having watched the dreadfully awful Cashmere Mafia makes me miss Sex and the City on so many levels. Even if Carrie Bradshaw’s outfits are still wonderfully fugly.
