Icon: Priscilla Presley


I've always been much more interested in Priscilla than Elvis.

She gets my vote for best 60s hair!

Icon: Farrah Fawcett (1947-2009)


Rest in peace Farrah Fawcett. You will be missed.

Am I the only one who finds it sad that her death is being overshadowed by Michael Jackson's passing? Not bashing MJ, it's just a thought.

Made In USA (1966)


VERY exciting news!!! I'm pleased to announce that The Criterion Collection will be releasing Jean-Luc Godard's Made In USA (1966) next month! The DVD release date is scheduled for July 21, 2009. You can pre-order it here on Amazon.

Cant wait to FINALLY see this film! I simply adore the lovely Miss Anna Karina.

Also worth mentioning is the upcoming release of Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965) on Criterion Collection DVD/Blu Ray in July. A must-see film in my book!

Which films do you think are deserving of a Criterion release? I'd have to vote for Polanki's Cul-de-sac (1966) and Anna (1967).

Keep up the good work, Criterion!

Here is the Made In USA theatrical trailer for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!:

Living Legend: Anita Pallenberg

Anita Pallenberg is one of my all-time favorite 1960s style icons. She has lived such a fascinating life so far. I'd love to read her memoirs!

Anita with former flame Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones.

Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg. Wouldn't you just die to be girlfriends with those two?! God knows that I would! Can you just imagine the shopping trips?!
