I love your photo captions! HAhahahahahahHHH! Also, these TCM posts make me sad, since we no longer have cable service. HOWEVER... I just saw a really great documentary on Netflix called "The Eye Has to Travel"... about the life of Diana Vreeland. I think you would like it - she has a lot of the same type of opinions that you and I share. 8-D
Same here, no cable but love to read this TCM overview!
