Ok my Leader Lady enamel pin is now up for preorder! It's currently being printed at the factory, and should be shipping out in mid- to late-June. The X's in the mock-up mean those holes will be punched out just like real perfs which I think is gonna look neat! www.etsy.com/listing/4310...

My brother worked at a drive-in theater in 1970. After the "Mark of the Devil" finished its run he brought home a case of the leftover vomit bags. My thrifty mother noticed their high quality construction. As a result all of my lunches during junior high were packed in "Mark of the Devil" bags.

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

#Onthisday in 1913, Bollywood was born, with the release of Indian cinema's very 1st feature, Dadasaheb Phalke's Raja Harishchandra. It only exists now in fragments (1475 feet of it), which you can see here, with both Hindi and English intertitles: http://bit.ly/1rRtfHP #otd
