    Georgy Girl

    It's a film not a tv show so it's not in the running for the contest but 'Georgy Girl' (1966) starring Lynn Redgrave and Charlotte Rampling, has one of the best theme songs (by The Seekers) ever. If you haven't heard it before, click here to have a listen.

    Best TV Theme Song: Vote In!

    VERSUS:


    While Janine is busy making papergoods I am busy making up pop culture contests!

    Which show do you think has the best TV Theme Song/Opening Sequence 'Laverne & Shirley' or 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show.'?

     

    I love the industrial factory aesthetic in 'L & S' but the rainbow lettering in 'MTM' is fabulous. And they are both super 70s sweet & sincere...

     Vote in with your thoughts and picks now!

    Handsome Bachelor

    It looks like Bachelor No.2 wins the popular vote. Cary Grant makes a fine bachelor any way you slice it.

    The Italian version of the poster pictured above retails for $1200: that's a handsome sum for a handsome gent.

    Special thanks to all who voted in!

    Robert Downey Jr. vs Cary Grant

    Robert Downey Jr. is more than swell, but in my mind he's no match for Cary Grant. To see more Hitchcock Classic film re-casts, visit the 2008 Vanity Fair Hitchcock Classics Photo Portfolio.

    Film Fireworks

    I was out at one of those hip fusion restaurants the other day - you know, the kind with the giant flat screen tvs playing cool old movies sans sound - and was delighted to re-discover the wonders of Cary Grant & Grace Kelly in Hitchcock's fabulous 'To Catch A Thief" (1955).

    The film is fantastic for its stars, its spectacular locations, and exquisite fashions. A real feast for the eyes. The film was also noteworthy for breaking taboo codes of sexual representation. Apparently Hitchcock defied the studio's mandate and opted to keep the 'overtly symbolic' fireworks scene in the final cut.

    Enjoy!

    Camilla's book!

    I received a preview sample copy and it looks amazing! The book will be arriving tomorrow and then we'll need some time to insert all the goodies (postcards, art print, luggage tag, stretchy band!!!) The books will begin to ship to their new homes mid next week. Thank you to all of you who have preordered the book. Click here to see more about the book, peek inside and to order. There's so much goodness to share that I had to design a big new page to accommodate the images.

    New mirrors from old


    I made a fresh batch of pocket mirrors using an assortment of vintage maps. Available in the store and online. Perhaps a nice stocking stuffer to go with an UPPERCASE subscription? Issue 3 ships now for Christmas delivery and we can gift wrap the magazine or include a personal note if you wish.
