A Work of Art & Thank You!

For Yvette

It was a lovely honour to be the focus of a Mini-Interview on Yvette’s Priorhouse blog.

I sent this to Yvette, so she could see the image I was using to say Thank You to her.

Resa That image is like me & many …blogging, trying to keep up.

Yvette – That really could apply to blogging, and keeping up during a busy season.

Yvette – I also think it could apply to life – and just enduring a challenging season. There is a certain contentment I feel in that art – with a certain suffering or enduring and I think in another way there might be a hint of performance burnout – ?

ResaI also think it can apply to life.

Yvette – Especially when you see the full photo – or is that part of the contentment feel- the balancing on one arm and the placement of that other arm is a bit athletic, sure, strong, poised, and in motion – and that adds to it. 

Yvette – Oh and the other elements/principles in that photo street art – we have the soft blue going across the body into the green – giving us this horizontal split that syncs with the body – other line designs stand out – like the hair being in sync with the background and other line design.

Yvette – And you know, the legs stood out on the third look – that is a strong pose – to be sideways – are those “eagle” legs? either way – that is why this feels strong and poised and enduring – 

ResaThank you, Yvette! What a wonderful interpretation of this piece of art.

EMMYS 2025 – Costume Time with Ruth Maramis & Resa @ FLIXCHATTER

For the second year in a row, Ruth has had me a as guest on FLIXCHATTER to chat about costumes & costume design. Last year we focused on the stunning gowns on “The Gilded Age”. This year’s focus is on the brilliant costume design in”The Penguin”.

WHO KNEW? & BATMAN NEVER SHOWS UP

Honestly, I would have never watched The Penguin if it had not been nominated. However, an honest vote requires honest watching.

It blew me away. The script, the acting, the sets, the costumes, the photography, the casting and extras are all brilliant. 24 Emmy Noms!

Find my picks for Best Costumes in the 4 Costume Categories over at Ruth’s!

Talking Costumes & Emmys with Ruth Maramis

Ruth at FLIX CHATTER and I were chatting Emmys awhile ago, and somehow we got to my predictions of who would win best costumes in the various Emmy categories.

That mushroomed into an interview. So, if you’re in the mood, hop over to Ruth’s and give it a read. FLIX CHATTER has become my go-to for film and TV reviews. You all know how I love to chatter, and I’ll be chattering over there, while catching up over here!
