An early happy #Halloween wish to friends! This picture is from my recent Vintage Girl Studios #horror-themed, #pinup photoshoot. Definitely a twist on the Hollywood starlet's Hollywood publicity still. Looks like we added a little SERIAL MOM (1994)! #SpookySeason2025 #FilmSky

Every time I see someone with one front half of their shirt tucked in, I think of a YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION episode. It's the one where the characters randomly start a style trend of wearing pants with one long leg & one short leg. Just as silly to me! #GenX #TVSky

Tonight's movie was more of a program of several short silent films, mostly about women being feral it was fantastic. And the lady from the project was super real with us about where we're at right now in this country and that was fantastic as well. (The realness, not the fascism, to be clear.
