I have 20 screen caps from the original King Kong. I didn't know if anyone would want my (crappy) icons, so I'm posting the screen shots so people who are actually good at icon-making can indulge in this fantastic movie.
All of the images are resolution 720 x 480. I resized them, so just click on the image to get the full picture.

Actually I think playing bad girls is a bore; I have always had more luck with good girl roles because they require more from an actress.

Crazy Dracula fact...

2007-11-08T19:09:22Z

The original Universal Dracula opened, not on Halloween, but on Valentine's Day. It was advertised as "The strangest love story mankind has ever know." I discovered this researching for a book on the subject called Sundays with Vlad (www.vladlives.com). Bela Lugosi was formally named Bela Blasko, but changed his name to honor his hometown of Lugos, now in modern day Romania. But I journeyed over there, and the town is filled with monuments to its artists and writers... but there is not a single monument to Bela Lugosi! Quick, name anyone from Lugos who became internationally famous. Can you? No. No, you can't. Just thought I'd post some weird tidbits, since I have learned more about this stuff than anyone has a right to.

Ok so my first post comes from
http://www.victoriansecrets.net/
Though its actually going to be some images of Art Deco Buildings in Washington DC

Greyhound Liquors

How amazing does that sound. I wish they still made shop fronts like this now adays

Brightly-colored full Vitrolite facades lent a festive note to post-prohibition nightclubs and liquor stores. Perhaps Washington's best surviving glass storefront is the former home of Greyhound Liquors, a block down New York Avenue NE from the magnificent art deco Hecht Company warehouse.

Greyhound Liquors, which opened circa 1938 in a neighborhood of gas stations and warehouses, apparently took its name from a nearby bus garage. During its earlier years, the store was robbed at gunpoint at least a dozen times, once reportedly by the "Bandage Face Bandit" alleged to have murdered a grocer during a robbery wave in the fall of 1942. Nonetheless, the business endured at 1361 New York Avenue NE until 2004.

Today the vacant storefront, with its stairstep pediment and teal and black color scheme reminescent of a 1938 DeSoto, has lost a few glass panels but appears largely intact.

Please feel free to add my journal.
its just going to be pictures of amazing buildings, interiors, furniture [design classics mainly], lots of art deco stuff, maybe a few photos of textiles and clothes (as i work in the clothing store of a museum)
