Those are really good movies. I don't know that I have seen Charade, but I will need to look.

Titles like "Charade" and "Wait Until Dark" scratch my suspense itch. Its been a while since I've seen "Sabrina", but thats I really like for the comic timing. For some reason hearing Humphrey Bogart say "Alas" just kills me every time. <br /><br />"Funny Face" is a movie I like for the aesthetics more than anything else. I could watch the beatnik dance scene for hours.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JGCktc_FXU<br />Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-1541619010727476082013-11-20T21:07:32.606-06:002013-11-20T21:07:32.606-06:00Well, we all certainly thank you for sharing your ...Well, we all certainly thank you for sharing your quirky things! I never would have known about all those Power Rangers clips.<br /><br />I enjoy Roman Holiday, but I am a sucker for Breakfast at Tiffany's. I just love that movie.

Its certainly made my twitter feed that much more interesting. <br /><br />Unfortunately I didn't grow up with Audrey, I only discovered her during the tail end of college. The college library had a huge movie collection all for free, so I was taking risks with all different kinds of genres I might not have otherwise watched and just happened to land a copy of "Roman Holiday" one weekend and was hooked ever since.Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-85864561580855927992013-11-16T23:48:23.694-06:002013-11-16T23:48:23.694-06:00That is amazing how they made that commercial.

I have always been in awe of her roles and I just remember growing up and watching her movies with my mom. So much grace! I just love her. Thank you for showing me that commercial. I just love it.

Though it has been noted as a remarkable achievement in computer animation technology, compositing over 70 shots of Audrey's face from "Roman Holiday" to superimpose her lively visage onto the body double for a mere minute of film. <br /><br />http://www.framestore.com/work/galaxy-chauffeur<br /><br />Audrey has been a celebrity crush of mine for some time.

Don't get me wrong, I do love those bright neon colored outfits, but there was just something so nice about this era of Barbie clothes.<br /><br />And isn't it is interesting how certain things get labeled vintage and what-not? lol I mean technically speaking these clothes weren't from that long ago, but at the same time they have been around for awhile.

That is also nice that your dad still has those Aurora Universal Monsters models! I think that is so cool. It is nice to have those kinds of items still in the family, ya know?

Its stylish and not the kind of garish neon or flamboyant patterns someone like me who didn't grow up with Barbie would associate with the doll.

It will be a wonderful way to cherish her memory. :) I would love to see these on some of your Barbie dolls. As far as cleaning, I have no idea, not my area of expertise. But, I saw an interesting Etsy forum discussion about to clean or not to clean vintage Barbie doll clothes: http://www.etsy.com/teams/7722/discussions/discuss/6566728/page/3<br /><br />My Dad has 2 original Aurora Universal Monsters models that he painted himself when he was 6! That like extra personal touch makes them that much more special. I'm totally making them family heirlooms in the future!<br /><br />Sorry for your lose Miss M!
