Re: Behold the new conservative poster child!
Did someone say Joe the Plumber????
Just saw this quote from him:
"I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children."

I mean you GOT to love the fact that the only pejorative term he could come up with was "honkey".

Seriously I really do. Every time he opens his mouth my world gets just a little brighter and happier.

Re: Behold the new conservative poster child!
Oh. Wait. Just. A. Second...
This is just sooooo far out. I missed all this:
http://www.edgeboston.com/index.php?ch= … p;id=90919
Shortly after that, a second, similar photo appeared at the site, which the Prejean camp decried as a fake.
Then things took a surreal, almost comic turn: a press release purportedly from Vivid Entertainment Group, an adult film company, claimed that the company had extended a $1 million offer to Prejean to start in a film.
The release purported to contain a quote from the company’s co-chairman, Steven Hirsch, reading, "We watched Carrie Prejean in the Miss USA Pageant and we were impressed with her talent and beauty."
The quote continued, "We’re also aware of the controversy caused by her statement about same sex marriages and the topless photos of her that have appeared online."
Added the quote, "A movie with Vivid-Celeb could be an important step for her towards expanding her horizons."
The same day as the Vivid release, May 7, gossip site TMZ posted an article in which the site claimed to have viewed divorce papers related to the separation of Prejean’s parents in which, the site claimed, "homosexual allegations [were] hurled by both sides."
TMZ reported that the documents contained claims that Prejean’s mother had accused her father of being gay and of having a gay "roommate."
Other documents indicated that Prejean’s father had made similar accusations against her mother’s subsequent husband. Read the documents, "The mother also alleges the father told the girls their stepfather was gay, that all men with mustaches are gay."
In rebuttal, "The father acknowledges talking with the girls about the stepfather’s brother being gay, not the stepfather," TMZ quoted from court papers.
TMZ quoted from what it said was a statement written by Prejean’s sister in which a claim was made that the girls saw their father’s roommate lying "in bed with another man."
Added that text, " I don’t think it’s right for my sister & I to have to live that way."
The TMZ article claimed, "For the record, there are other allegations--absolutely hideous--in the divorce and custody papers--which we have elected not to publish."
Much more, including the obligatory "politics of personal destruction" quote from some con/Chr.

Re: Behold the new conservative poster child!
Nope.
Some guy named Plunkett:
For David Selznick's Gone with the Wind, Plunkett chronicled the fall and rebirth of the Deep South through Scarlett O'Hara's well-researched wardrobe, which marked her passage from selfish innocence to hardened maturity. For example, the famous "dining-room curtains" dress, ornamented with jaunty tassels and a smart, one-shoulder cape, illustrated Scarlett's spunky calculation in the face of adversity. As one of the first technicolor movies, Gone with the Wind dazzled with picture-postcard color. Plunkett had already worked within the limited range of the two-color process at RKO, but now he filled the screen with sapphire, dusty rose, antique blue, claret red, and infinite shades of green. Still remembered today, the gowns of this film reflected an emerging post-Depression fashion trend. However, the Second World War aborted the cinch waist and wide, fabric-consuming skirt symbolic of prosperity and the romantic ideal of womanhood; only after the war were they resurrected in Dior's postwar "New Look."
Plunkett's later pictures echoed some interesting modern trends. His American in Paris sequence depicted the artists' ball in abstract blacks and whites, more like the flamboyant visions of Adrian than traditional Plunkett. They splashed the screen abstractly as if flung from Jackson Pollock's paint brush.
Throughout the 1950s, Plunkett continued his successful "period" creations. At the same time, he began to mimic the very popular culture that he and other designers had created. His mannerish garb for Judy Garland's Summer Stock, for example, recalls Travis Banton's collaborations with Marlene Dietrich. Plunkett's greatest homage to the silver screen however was in Singin' in the Rain. Exaggerated American motifs paid glorious tribute to those brash Hollywood musicals of his earlier days in the business.
—Edith C. Lee
Far afield, I know.
Of course, Plunkett could tie in with the thread in a Hale Marry way, maybe.

She did so many of the big-budget films for decades I guess I assumed she did GWTW, too.
