Rad Lady

Rad Lady is a lovely blog I discovered through this post on fangirl. The blog (by Laura Uhlir) is "a project exploring the lives of inspiring, creative, smart and stylish women". 

The images above are some of my favorite photos found there. Head on over to Rad Lady for more.

Les Girls

Yes, another Gene Kelly movie. Don't worry - I'll eventually run out of Gene Kelly movies to do.
Les Girls (1957) directed by George Cukor. 


Plot (via) - 
After writing a tell-all book about her days in the dance troupe "Barry Nichols and Les Girls", Sybil Wren (Kay Kendall) is sued for libeling her fellow dancer Angele (Taina Elg). A Rashômon (1950)-style narrative presents the story from three points of view where Sybil accuses Angele of having an affair with Barry (Gene Kelly), while Angele insists that it was actually Sybil who was having the affair. Finally, Barry gives his side of the story.
I enjoy this movie. The best parts = the dancing (obviously), Kay Kendall, the costumes & the red dance set. 
The chic-est testimony of all time.
Notice the flower basket bra.
Totally normal.
You can watch this marvelous dance number here.
