Morbid Fashion Inspiration

This whole month I've been on a hunt for some 1940s peasant style clothing. I couldn't for the life of me figure out where this came from. It's not really my style, but I have been wanting it so badly. Then I figured it out. The Death Hag in me wants it. I want the Carole Landis death outfit. Call me shallow, but how great is that outfit? If you read the death report, the shoes are gold even! I know I'm a jerk for it, but that image will forever be in my brain. I blame the copy of Hollywood Babylon in the family library. Ruined me for life. 

Dearly Departed @ Larry Edmunds

Saturday was record store day, but I went to a bookstore. Larry Edmunds bookstore to be specific. They are now the official launching point for the Dearly Departed Hollywood tours, which are all about Hollywood and death. It was awesome to see the presentation from Scott Michaels, the founder. His brain is so full of Hollywood trivia that all I can do is listen and learn. I bought two DVDs from him and have already watched both-they are great and are highly recommended by me! Check out his website Findadeath. And if you are in the area of Hollywood Blvd check out Larry Edmunds, they have a huge selection of hard to find books on the entertainment industry as well as Hollywood in general. They are also the place to go if you are looking for vintage movie posters or glossy 8x10's . It's a great store run by nice people, and the Dearly Departed family is equally amazing.
