Fashion According to That Girl
One of the classic television shows I always loved to watch growing up was the show That Girl! The fashion featured in every episode was always one of my favorite aspects of That Girl and kept me tuning in.

Movie Monday: Monkey Business (1952)
It’s time to take a moment to laugh and celebrate a comedy this Movie Monday! If there is anyone who can master classic film comedy it is definitely Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers!

Now that the iconic superhero has her own film, my love for this character has grown even more!

It is commonly debated as to which Wonder Woman suit may be better than another, but what you hear little about is how Wonder Woman’s alter ego Diana Prince has changed her style over the years,…
