1953 War of the Worlds Posters

Because Autumn is the season of Halloween, and Halloween makes me think of War of the Worlds, here's a link to a batch of 6 limited-edition posters from the first (1953) movie version of HG Wells' novel.
Photographed from the original posters (not from second-generation repros, tiny pix in books or low-rez internet files), the art has been lovingly-restored and digitally-remastered.
And, best of all, every one of the posters features those really-kool Martian war machines!
And there's even a couple of foreign versions...

Enjoy! ;-)

Fantastic Femmes--Mizuo Peck

New York City native Mizuo Peck's ancestry includes Japanese, Irish, British, and Cherokee, giving her a unique, exotic "look" that's allowed her to play a range of Asian, British, Native American (but not Cherokee), Hispanic, and generic New Yorker characters in film and on tv.

Mizuo's also done off-Broadway theatre, fashion modeling and appeared in a couple of music videos.
Talk about versatile!
No wonder I think she's a Fantastic Femme!
Genre credits include...
(Sacagawea)
Check out...
Other actresses to play Sacagawea, include...
Actually, Mizuo played a mystically-animated statue of Sacgawea, not the historical figure!
So if you want to know who played the real-life person in film and tv, here's the list from the IMDB.

Design of the Week--Here's How 3-D Works!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week...
While we've had a great response to our new line of 3-D Collectibles,  there have been several requests for a more...generic...version of the Bwana Devil 3-D Diagram.
Not wanting to alienate a potential customer base, we've done just that!
So, for one week, you can get your hot little hands on this especially-created version of the already-best-selling graphics we've seen on people's shirts and bags at IMAX Avatar showings!
Secret Chic strikes again!
