Lina Lamont, in words and film

I have decided not refer to Lina Lamont a villain. Because she really isn’t. She’s just a regular, misunderstood D list celebrity... my favorite kind of people...but she ain't people. It's hard to choose a favorite Lina quote.


"Lina, she can't sing, she can't act, she can't dance. A triple threat."


“I’m a shimmering, glowing star in the cinema fir-ma-ment.”

“People? I ain’t people,”

" I make more money than Calvin Coolidge...put together!!"

"I gave an exclusive interview to every paper in town."

"...and I can't 'stan' him.'

"rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrround tone.."

"whatta you think i am, dumb or somethin?...."




I've been searching tirelessly for the new Words in Film Ap, which has been promoted by Warner Bros and their website, www.bestofwb.com . The Ap has been featured on the Singin In the Rain official Facebook fan page. The Ap is a word generator with some hysterical Lina Lamont quotes.


The MGM logo and Leo the lion have been conveniently stripped from any promotional material associated with Singin in the Rain. It's very sad to see the movie associated with Warner Brothers advertising, but at least they are doing a hell of a job promoting it.

Chimi Choo's Doggie Birthday 2013

During the party many dancers gathered around the Dancesport DuPont stage for a LIVE viewing of Dancing With the Stars on an enormous flat screen TV.

American Smooth dresses, and Irene Lentz

It's so amazing to me how these old Hollywood movie dresses appear similar to current smooth gowns on the competitive dance floor.

I was just watching an old dance clip of Ann Miller from MGM's Easter Parade. The dress was designed by Irene Lentz-Gibbons (more commonly known as an "Irene") dress, it's the type of dress that Debbie Reynolds was trying to save for her ill fated Hollywood dress museum.... Kinda makes me think that 60 years from now, collectors will be putting Dore and Jordy  dresses in a museum.

This is the same dress???... 60 years later!!!! It is in amazing condition....

Here we have another incredible vintage designer dress, one from a private collector. By famous Hollywood costume designer IRENE LENTZ, this dress is probably from the late 40s, it Looks very much like an American smooth dress.

Another famou Itene dress, is the gold dress worn by Ginger Rogers in the Barkleys of Broadway in 1949. Here's how the dress looks today:
