what I’m listening to now…

“Na Na Nah!” from Movits! featuring Timbuktu

“The Mojo Radio Gang” from Parov Stelar

“Leaozinho” from Caetano Veloso, in duet with Maria Gadu

Who knew costume jewelry could be SO GORGEOUS?

Just look at that SPARKLE.

“In the ’30s and ’40s, Joseff was supplying over 90 percent of the jewelry in the movies.”

“Jewelry didn’t really appear in movies too much before he came along, I think the costumers had either just gone to a department store and bought the jewelry, or in many cases, it probably belonged to the star herself and she just accessorized her own outfit.”

Here’s a story on Joseff of Hollywood from Collector’s Weekly… and a new obsession for me?

Because your day *always* needs more surreal…

I present to you “The Mystery of the Leaping Fish” by Douglas Fairbanks; a hilarious comedy about the brilliant, drug-addled detective Coke Ennyday, who despite powdering his nose with a giant powderpuff of cocaine, constantly shooting up speed, and eating opium paste like jam, manages to beat the snot out of the bad guys and save the pretty girl (who happens to be a self-saving princess anyway, and manages to save him once or twice too!). This is a pretty terrible print, but hey, if nothing else, it’s a really awesome waste of 25 minutes.

…also, you get Doug in a swimsuit, and HOT DAMN.

Oh, Groucho…

It’s true!

This one made me laugh.  I know, I know, I’m a bad person.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

We went to Eban Schletter’s Witching Hour tonight, which was fairly epic, and I met Tom Kenney, otherwise known as the voice of Spongebob Squarepants.  Yes, I admit it, I’ve gone way beyond fangirl and into the realm of nerd.  Still.  Very cool.

Also, I mean, come on, he’s Patchy the Pirate!!  How is this not awesome?!

Bruno Ganz is to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the European Film Academy in December.  I am so pleased.  He deserves it.
