UNRELEASED - The Canary

The Canary Murder Case - William Powell who of course is always been a favorite of mine from the classic movies and the Thin Man series who could forget! I saw this dress and the movie popped into my head.

The beautiful Margaret Odell, famous Broadway beauty and ex-Follies girl known as "The Canary", is found murdered in her apartment. She has a number of men in her life, ranging from high society to gangsters, and more than one man visited her apartment on the night she dies. It is Philo Vance's characteristic erudition that leads him to a key clue that allows him to penetrate a very clever alibi and reveal the killer.

This would be something she would wear don't you think? The texture is from a dress from the era of the movie (1927) and so canary! Louise Brooks was the canary :)

Honey Pie

Honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but i'm lazy

So won't you please come home.

Oh honey pie my position is tragic

Come and show me the magic

Of your hollywood song.

You became a legend of the silver screen

And now the thought of meeting you

Makes me weak in the knee.

Oh honey pie you are driving me frantic

Sail across the atlantic

To be where you belong.

Will the wind that blew her boat

Across the sea

Kindly send her sailing back to me.

Honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but i'm lazy

So won't you please come home.

UNRELEASED - Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland - the ultimate graceful and sweet movie star. This dress reminded me of her when she was in Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. Yes she is still living and yes we all will remember her as Melanie in Gone With The Wind forever.

Primadonna Rosa

No words can describe this one. It began with a 1920's sequin dress, a skirt that became a rose and jewels. It is lovely, romantic, floaty and more!
