Indulge yourself and read the lush prose of this weeks St. James Version. James St. James was up at 3am the same as me watching the Greta Garbo marathon on TCM. Ok sure he was in LA and I was in the Philadelphia area, but our hearts were in the identical place.

Fashionista and writer James St. James watches Garbo’s costumes with the same reverence I watch my Agatha Christie: Poirot Mystery DVD's for the art deco furnishing and 1930's fashions. The clothes translate perfectly into today with minor alterations. (See Marc Jacobs) I'm happy to discover I'm in grand company as a person who watches classics and period piece films, with a discerning eye for fashion.
