Sean Connery's armour from Sword of the Valiant on display...

In 1984's Arthurian fantasy Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sean Connery starred as the mythological 'Green Knight' and Miles O'Keeffe played 'Sir Gawain'.

Pan Am TV show costume bus shelter installation...

Yesterday walking through my local West Hollywood neighbourhood I chanced upon this fantastic promotional installation for the new 60's based period drama Pan Am, featuring the iconic in-flight stewardess uniform and flight bag.

Although strictly not an original costume from the forthcoming television series, I couldn't help feature this fashionable ensemble as I thought it was such an innovative and engaging way to market the new show featuring Christina Ricci, helping Pan Am to stand out during the onslaught of the new Fall TV season.

I also love how the installation gives annotated details about each item of the outfit. How the hat was always in place, topping off the iconic airline uniform, or the gloves were perfectly fitted without room even for a wedding ring.

The streamlined jacket was custom-tailored for height and weight to give a sexy, snug fit and the black leather low-heeled pumps were stylish and comfortable, without compromising the strict height restrictions.

It's also fun to see the display include the blue leather weekender flight bag, sporting the iconic Pan Am logo, and I wouldn't be surprised in other less salubrious neighbourhoods to see this bus shelter installation being broken in to for someone to steal this bag.
