The Wedding Bells Blogathon — My Favorite Wedding Dresses in Classic Film

Happy new year, classic movie fans! It's been a while since I've been around my blog, but The Wedding Bells Blogathon, hosted by the fabulous Annette of Hometowns to Hollywood, was just too perfect to resist! As those of you who follow me on social media may know, I got engaged myself this month, so…

My Trip to the 2019 TCM Classic Film Festival — Part One

After a long and arduous return trip from Hollywood and a hectic work week after that, I'm finally ready to share my experience at the 10th Annual TCM Classic Film Festival. I've mentioned this before, but I consider myself so incredibly fortunate because I'm able to save up and travel to this yearly celebration of…

The Third Doris Day Blogathon — Move Over, Darling (1963)

Today is an exciting day for me! Not only is it exactly one week before I fly out to California for the 10th Annual TCM Classic Film Festival, it's also the 97th birthday of Doris Day, one of the most extraordinary singers and actresses who ever graced the radio and silver screen. I've admired her…

My Top Ten Favorite Screwball Comedies

As you all probably know, I finally joined Twitter earlier this month, and almost as soon as I created an account and began following classic film bloggers, I found out that apparently #ScrewballSeptember has been the theme of the entire month!

My Birthday Trip to the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention

I apologize for being off the grid somewhat these last couple of weeks, but I have the best reason! I've been enjoying a week-long vacation (mostly) at home for my 22nd birthday, which was just a few days ago on the 13th of September. While nothing classic film related occurred on my birthday, I did…

The Natalie Wood Blogathon — My Tribute to Natalie Wood

It's always been difficult for me to have one single favorite movie star. I hold a deep and sincere appreciation for a number of actors at any given time, and I've often said that I adore classic film stars even more than the classic films themselves. Despite this, only one deserves the recognition of being…

Announcing The Natalie Wood Blogathon!

It's so hard for me to believe that it's been nearly a year since I've hosted an honest-to-goodness blogathon, paying tribute to the incomparable Dean Martin last June on what would have been his 100th birthday! After realizing this, I knew that it was about time for me to host another this summer while I…

My Trip to Hollywood for the 2018 TCM Classic Film Festival — Part One

Hey, classic film fans! I have to start this post by saying that this past week has undoubtedly been one of the most action-packed and marvelous of my life, and I owe it all to Turner Classic Movies, who hosted their ninth annual Classic Film Festival from April 26th through the 29th in Hollywood. I…

My Picks for the 2018 TCM Classic Film Festival

In almost exactly two weeks, I'll be flying to LA for the ninth annual TCM Classic Film Festival. This will be my first ever festival, and simply being able to say that I'm attending is more incredible than I could ever dream of, much less actually getting to do it in less than a month.…
