Alexa from
Pop Elegantiarum here. Maybe I'm just in
Mad Men withdrawal, but lately I've been watching films from the early 60s with a closer eye to the fashion, mores, and themes of the time. After catching
Marnie recently, I decided that Tippi Hedren is the closest Betty Draper doppelganger; with Hitchcock she had the same icy model facade hiding an unravelled interior. (Check out this
old magazine with Tippi; modeling and horses, how very Betty!) Here are some crafty celebrations of the icon that I'm loving right now.
I really dig this chunky Tippi
statement necklace by Melissa Loschy. She literally gives her wings. (And she's made some jewelry odes to
Hitchcock, too.)
I especially fell in love with this fantastic Halloween costume
awaitingdawn posted recently. A bird attack chapeau! Why didn't I think of that? And if anyone can come up with a
Marnie costume idea for next year, let me know. Something involving a horse, perhaps?
