  10. I thought you might enjoy this slide show (Style lessons from silent movie stars) I saw on the guardian front page. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/fashion/fashion-blog/gallery/2012/jan/13/style-lessons-silent-movie-stars-in-pictures#/?picture=384361763&index=0) There's definitely something mysterious about silent film stars, it's intriguing. Also, the fashion was amazing.
