If I had three months, I have always wanted three months to research in Egypt. Within the next month or so, one dream trip is coming true. I am going to Philadelphia to see the King Tut exhibit. I would also like to visit the FIDM during Oscar week to view the film costumes nominated. Then

While channel surfing for a couple minutes I cam upon a movie made in the 60s that took place in the 1920s. Can't remember what is is, but it starred George Peppard and Elizabeth Ashley, among others. The Carpetbaggers maybe? Anyhow, I'm trying to figure out what is so wrong about the

I'm pretty sure the Voodoo Museum is still there. I was in New Orleans just over a year ago; some of my friends went into the museum, but (IIRC) I believe there are steps inside which I couldn't navigate. kate - Original Message - From: Pierre Sandy Pettinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Interesting how different people respond to different things. My all-time favorite costuming stop was the Museum of the Confederacy. Go figure. I found the curator VERY accommodating--our scheduled half-hour behind-the-scenes-down-in-the-archives trip to look at a maximum of three items

Thanks, Andy - I will see the actor tomorrow and offer him your suggestion. I think it may be the perfect solution, since we are down to the wire with production. This actor is also a costumer, and he recently worked The Full Monty. He told me their tear-away trousers used lightweight
