Ray and I had our jaunt to Oklahoma City. A key goal was the Museum of Art featuring the costumes of Edith Head. She was THE Oscar winning costume designer in Hollywood. Her heyday was the 1940s and 1950s, but she worked up until she died in 1981. She was petite but powerful and known for her signature look (see me with her above)
For me, I had to see this exhibit. It was a sign from my father who loved that Hollywood era. He would have spent plenty of time reading every detail posted and he would have seen all of the films involved.
It was wonderful. And you see how tiny the actresses were - waistlines were ridiculous. The fabrics and accessories were rich. I wanted to touch every costume.
