Hi,

First I want to thank the Owner of the list for allowing me to join. Second, I
enjoy reading the posts to see how active Gene is.

My name is Debbie and I'm 58 yrs old. I grew up watching Cartoon Corners General
Store and later the Gene London Show. My Brownie Troop took us all on an outting
for a taping of Cartoon Corners General Store. All I remember was how fun it was
to be there. We even got to sit at Gene's feet for story time.

I had begun to wonder what had become of Gene London and I came upon all sorts
of information and this wonderful Yahoo Group.

Thanks again for allowing me to be a member,

Debbie

Gene was recently in Sao Paulo Brazil for an event, unfortunately I don't have
the translated articles, I will look to see what I can do..Sorry for any
inconvenience.. John

Imagine being able to see up close the wonderful dresses, worn by divas of
cinema history? So come Iguatemi and prestige exhibition sponsored by the TCM
channel, "From Hollywood to Fashion."


For this show, the channel invited Gene London, cinephile, designer and
collector, who donated some super rare items, like the dress worn with the dress
pattern of cherries originally used by Marilyn Monroe in "The Misfits".

The exhibition also features replicas of dresses worn by Vivien Leigh in "Gone
With the Wind" by Rita Hayworth in "Gilda," by Audrey Hepburn in "Cinderella in
Paris," by Grace Kelly in "To Catch a Thief" and Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven
Year Itch" (in the classic scene from the vent).

The exhibition "From Hollywood to Fashion" goes until August 30 at the Fashion
Space Mall, located on the top floor. See below who was in the cocktail of
release!

From the Newsroom

Show, on display until Aug. 30, is the model used by Marilyn Monroe on film

Hollywood for Fashion, an exhibition which brings six dresses divas of the
cinema (one original and five replicas) as Marilyn Monroe, arrives in Sao Paulo
this August. The event is the result of a partnership between the pay channel
TCM and Gene London designer and collector.

The show was mounted in Iguatemi and will be held between the second, 16th and
30th of this month. London holds a collection of 60,000 pieces and lent the
original white dress with cherries printed worn by Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits
(1961).

The other outfits are also replicas borrowed from Gene to the London event. The
classic white Monroe in The Seven Year Itch (1955), long burgundy velvet worn by
Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind ... (1939) are examples. The exhibition has
free admission.

From Hollywood to Fashion

Note on the agenda: the channel TCM (he of old movies), will bring the day
August 16 an exhibition very good for us who love fashion.

The movie buff, collector and designer Gene London has released its collection
of original costume designs for this exhibition entitled "From Hollywood to
Fashion," including clothing originally used by stars like Marilyn Monroe, Grace
Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Rita Hayworth , Bette Davis, Ingrid
Bergman, Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, Judy Garland, among other a huge
list, including male names like Marlon Brando and Humphrey Boagart. Have you
ever thought - that much! - Be able to check closely the looks gorgeous movies

It's super important that we also have eyes for the costumes, as well as
inspire, they mark a time and give luster to the characters. A tasty way to
study fashion and can see the charm and close the structure of tissues, beyond
the history that each piece carries. Who go there, tell me. Ah, detail: it's
free!

Hi,

Last week when I was on vacation, it seems someone hacked into my account and is
now sending SAM to every address I seem to have. Please put my on moderation
until I can figure out how to fix this? I am not a happy camper.
