STACEY KEIBLER LOVES CALLANAN

Stacy Ann Keibler (born October 14, 1979) is an American actress, model and former professional wrestler and valet for World Championship Wrestling (WCW)and she loves her John Callanan Legacy fedora, style 3 cr86os. This hat continues to be one of my best sellers and is available at Henri Bendels and better stores nationwide.

floppy brims

The past 4 years has been about small brimmed fedoras and these will continue to be in fashion but for the fashionistas out there, the pendulum is swinging back to bigger brims. For summer 2011 I have added big brimmed safari to my collection and I intend to add even more big brimmed styles to my fall 2011 collection which I started work on last week.
In addition to safari brims the floppy "boho" style is very popular in Europe. I love this style for styling photo shots but an-over-floppy brim can be difficult to wear. I am keeping my brims to under 4" and adding a stitch line to the outer brim for a little support. If you own a hat that is a little too floppy just pin it up with a flower or old brooch or if it is a felt hat, simply take a scissors to the outer brim.

KATE WINSLET AS MILDRED PIERCE

So I am strolling home from work, feeling like a peacock among hens, as I made my way down 5th Ave., in my spiffy Callanan boater and retro looking jacket from Ralph Rugby. As I turned onto 26th and Broadway, I found myself attired to play costar to Kate Winslet in the HBO drama series Mildred Pierce. So it begs the question does art imitate life or does life imitate art. Fedoras, boaters, bowlers and suitings a la steelpunk have been trending a a few years now. Is Hollywood/TV creating or following this retro trend.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE

The current production of Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie, is just spellbinding, gut wrenching, thought provoking. It is the type of production that you rehash in your mind long after the curtains come down. The set is a bleak backdrop reflecting the bleak life of the characters. Judith Ivey is just wonderful as Amanda with her delusions of grandeur. Patch Darragh as Tom, is the care taker in the asylum he is born into, hating his crazy mother while while putting-up-with his cripple sister.He has illusions of running away with the merchant marines to escape his situation. Finally, like his father, he is forced to fly to survive. Keira Keelley as Laura, lives in her own made-up-world in order to avoid the weight of disappointment she bring to her mother and which her mother constantly reminds her about while recalling her own delusional past of splendid glory. Michael Mosley is the one who flies over the cuckoo nest as the guest gentleman caller, Jim O'Connor. He is the only one to show Laura some human kindness and advise. Laura seems to blossom for a few minutes only to fall back into malaise when Jim reveals is already taken.
