Oh. Was it Halloween?

Our family doesn't celebrate Halloween, so I usually forget it happens; and that makes it's kind of funny when you run into town one night and you think you're seeing things because a dwarf just passed in front of your car. I was going to Movie Gallery to pick up something for Mama and me to watch while we were home alone, and when I walked in, I saw that the girl behind the counter was wearing a bright pink shirt, a huge, voluminous tutu, a cowgirl hat (yes, it was definitely cow*girl* hat. pink feathery wings, anyone? i think she was going for a western, female version of the Greek god, Hermes.), and some sparkly pink cowgirl boots (complete with feathery wings at the ankles). I must have missed something; when we studied ancient history, I got the impression that the dude with the winged hat and shoes was a guy, that he was definitely NOT wearing pink, and that he was from somewhere on the European continent, not Texas. But that's just me. I may be totally wrong about that.
Mama and I ended up getting Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, which is a wonderful, newish movie set right before the beginning of WWII. The costumes, music, actors, set, and story were wonderful! And if you can get past a couple of B*TT scenes, (and yes, that's supposed to be capitalized), amoral themes, and innuendo, it's a fairly decent movie. Which is to say...don't watch this movie in mixed company...or with your grandparents...or in a room that might be under surveillance. The "look" of the movie is perfect; lavish and extravagent clothing, furniture, flats, and cars make it fit into the same genre as that old 30's movie, Easy Living with Ray Milland and Jean Arthur.





p.s.
I got some new tights the other day: they're bright blue, and I love them. You should get some too.
