Re: [MOPO] New York Times article on framing

[42nd Street Memories]

Sue,   It's funny that you mention that "my gay men customers have the best taste in framing...."   The author, Lynn Hirschberg, states that her theory on framing was inspired by Pedro Almodovar. He does not frame his films' posters but he frames photograph images of where his posters have been displayed.....subway walls, bus shelters, sides of buildings, etc....   I found a link earlier to the article. My email server has been down, so apologies if this is redundant   http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/10/style/tmagazine/HOLLYWOOD.html?oref=login   Jerry K     ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Heim To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 2:53 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] New York Times article on framing Hey Tom,        I'll be waiting........................   Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Martin To: Susan Heim Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 11:24 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] New York Times article on framing Wowie!!!!   we are getting somewhere....  I just relized I have no frames...

Oh la la... :) lets Rhumba!   .         Susan Heim wrote: Dear Jerry and all,     Sam at Postertati is a well known movie poster shop in New York City, the origin of the article. I'm sure that is why he is mentioned. I agree to a certain degree with the author. I have many customers that, if money were no object, would choose quite different framing than they do. We sort of have a running joke around here and that is when a husband and wife come in to frame something, the guy wants basic black, but that isn't usually what they walk out the door with. 9 times out of 10, the husband defers to the wife's choice, even if her choice didn't look as well as black would have. Believe it or not, I have had husbands and wives get into arguments, major time, in front of me about framing. I imagine to myself if they can get this worked up over some little issue like framing, what must the major issues in their lives be like. Whew!!!     I have one guy who likes everything in red!!  He is an older guy, probably 60's, still single, and has a different lady in his life every time he comes in. He's in the music business. Really nice guy, but a big flirt. One of my customers is an engineer at Caltech and his frame choice is always extremely geometrical and linear and basic black.  It's all cool to me. However, I have found in my 20 years as a framer, my gay men customers have the best taste in framing and clothes, not to mention cuter butts. (Hey there has to be some benefit to this job!!)  That is probably why "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is such a big hit on t.v.  Happy Framing and Collecting, Sue Heimwww.hollywoodposterframes.com(800) 463-2994 ----- Original Message ----- From: 42nd Street Memories To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2004 12:48 PM Subject: [MOPO] New York Times article on framing  Today's Sunday NYT has an article on framing. Emphasizing movie posters especially foreign versions. The author, Lynn Hirschberg, theorizes that the frame tells as much about the owner's personality as does the poster itself. I was hoping to see some free publicity for some of the MOPO framers but Sam and Posteritati were the only  MOPOers mentioned that I recognized. I don't know if the article's available on-line but for those who still enjoy newsprint on their fingertips, as I do,  it is on Page 80 of the Fall Design section.
