[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 120442, member: 57984"] Maybe we can soon do it digitally. Perhaps I can call on [USER=10]@Richard Channing[/USER] to help...! [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b7/94/19/b79419e3322104875c734777108a2587.jpg[/IMG] As I said in the "Bette Vs. Joan" thread, there is something very dowager-y about the mid-'60s, although I can't quite explain why. Aging women surrounded with their ashtrays and candy dishes, in their sleeveless sack dresses and their sculpted hair of the period, personal objects dustily ancient and tackily modern, angsty and pensive and looking older than their years as was typical then, a bottle of something not too far out of reach, awaiting visitors or family or something banal. Post-menopausal gothic, directly upon that tear in the space-time continuum occurring at the center of the decade. That's Bette. And it's certainly Joan. It's a specific pitch, a flavor of delicious decay. [URL]http://www.soapchat.net/threads/bette-davis-vs-joan-crawford.1947/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
