Pan Am

Pack your bags every Sunday because we are flying Pan Am Airlines!!

I love the Sixties ever since i was a little girl, I always say I was born in the forties and lived my youth during the Sixties. Finally there is a show about four young working women in the Sixties who live their lives in a glamorous place each week. From London to Rio de Janeiro.

Pan Am is the new ABC series about two pilots and four flight attendants, each one has a history, a love life, and their present. Every week we learn a bit from each character, we fly with them to exotic places, and we also fall in love with them.

If you haven't seen the show, here is a recap about each character: Maggie, played by the amazing Christina Ricci, is a beatnik wanting something and expecting more to her life, and joined Pan Am to see the world. Laura is a runaway bride who felt that she needed to live her life before she settled down, running away dissappointed her mother, but a way she got closer to her also flight attendant sister, Kate, who is the black sheep of the family. Kate is a Pan Am flight attendant, but at the same time she is a CIA agent. Then there is the French flight attendant, Colette, who we know little about her. She is French, lived the Nazi occupation in Paris as a child, and I think there should be stronger storyline of Colette. And the boys, there is Ted, who is co pilot, is in love with Laura, and jealous of Dean's job. Now about Dean is just the most handsome pilot I have ever seen, he is a perfect gentleman. He was in love with Brigitte, a Pan Am flight attendant who disappeared due to a failed CIA mission, and now he is sleeping with his boss's mistress, but I think he should notice Colette, because during the Paris episode there was a connection between the two.

The show is so classy, elegant, chic, sexy, preppy, and ladylike style.

We have been to London, Paris, Berlin, Indonesia, Monte Carlo, and Rio de Janeiro. In the following days I will post more about the series and I will do a research on the real Pan Am. Ciao, Cherio, Au revoir, Ate a vista.

The Lady is a Tramp

Lady Gaga is a tramp. It is the new version of the song by Tony Bennett with Lady Gaga on his new album, Duets II. "The Lady is a Tramp" was written by the greatest Rodgers and Hart in 1937 for the Broadway musical Babes in Arms, and since then it has become a classic and has been recorded by a variety of performers giving their special touch to it. Lady Gaga fits perfectly to sing this song not only because of her stage name, but because she has real talent to be singing next to Bennett. Tony and Gaga make a great duo, they combine the old and new, the classic and the avant garde, he is old school New York and she is the biggest pop star in the world.

The music video is just great, it is simple, classy, the audience could really appreciate the song and the talent. I think it was Lady Gaga's best outfits because she looked classy, ladylike, she looked how a woman in the thirties and forties would dress to go out an evening with thier husbands to the opera. Gaga wore an all black lace, see through gown by Tom Ford, and with her mint blue wig done in 1940s curls, very Old Hollywood Glamour.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is a good movie about a homeless woman in London, who becomes a socialite's assistant and is introduced to a world of wealth, lies, affairs, love, fashion, and parties for only one day. What I love about this film is the fashion, it is 1940s inpsired, glamorous, elegant, ladylike, and femenine. The socialite played by the great Amy Adams has an incredible taste for fashion, and during a period of a day she changed about ten times. My favorite part of the movie was the lingerie fashion show, I just wanted to go back in the forties and buy every piece of clothing.
