Dorothy Dandridge

So I know that I haven't been posting much on this blog since I first opened it and this is because...I have no excuse. Maybe I thought there was a certain way to go about writing a blog and after viewing other people I realise there is no such thing.

Therefore today, as I sit in my dorm room browsing the net I remembered an old fashioned movie that I saw few years ago starring a certain lady called Dorothy Dandridge.

Now, Dorothy in this movie is named Carmen Jones-which also happens to be the name of the movie and her character is not very desirable as she is a seducer who two times two guys and the crazy one ends up shooting her dead in the end.

Despite this though, I do adore her wardrobe and style in this movie. Set in the 1950's the movie exudes class and elegance that the decade is very well known for and not only is Dorothy's wardrobe to die for, the whole cast-which is an all black cast has a 50's style that is very inspiring even the guys (even Joe, Carmen's soldier per-surer has his own individual ). 

There is not one outfit that I don't like in this movie-it's a nice girly movie to watch when you're feeling well...girly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ1f6tVliME
