You asked for it, so here’s an occasional open thread to bitch about anything tangentially related to history, costume, movies, or TV shows! Or whatever else is on your mind right now. Note that URLs are automatically held for moderation, but most anything else goes as long as you’re not bitchier than we are!
Well that was a Snark Week, now wasn’t it? We need a lie-down — but as ever, there’s no rest for the wicked! February is packed with more historical costume TV premieres, plus two-thirds of your Frock Flicks staff are headed off to Carnevale in Venice. But the blog goes ever on.
How did you like our 10th annual Snark Week?
Refreshing, diverting and erudite. And sometimes silly (as in the costumes themselves). Silly is good.
Thanks!
Thanks for the Snark!! Enjoy Venice guys.
Looking forward to see Mary and George on Starz, looks trashy and not too shitty at the same time
It reminded me of a less Shitty Gay take on the Other Boleyn Girl?
I’m excited about Mary & George bec. of the early 17th-c. setting & the costumes look passable. And I’m all in for a trashy gay storyline ;)
What Fresh Hell does Hallmark have in store for us? Lovuary, then we have Gilded Newport Mysteries, clearly, Hallmark is cashing in on the trends in Period Dramas! I’m looking foward to the mostly black S&S tho! That’s at least a different more inclusive take?
The Hallmark “period” shows look to have awful costuming, but I’m trying to record them for later viewing.
Tell the girls to have a marvelous time in Venice for Us! Nope not jealous at all! I would show up to half the Masquerade Balls looking like Angelica Huston in Ever After! Or just wear fabulous Fortuny Frocks like in Wings of The Dove! Can’t go wrong with either!
Excellent costume choices :)
I wish it could be snark month. You guys had me laughing so hard. I did miss Ivanhoe from the 80s
