movie inspiration: matt helm

snow days = marathon movie watching. this time around i watched all of the dean martin matt helm movies i could find online. you can see the ambushers and murderer's row on netflix watch instantly, and the silencers is on hulu for free. these are pretty much just like austin powers except it's dean martin instead of austin powers. the evil bad guy organization is 'the big O' and his assistant's name is lovey cravesit. but the costumes are some of the best 1967-69 had to offer.. holy cow the costumes are so good. gogo pop color and lowslung hiphuggers and see-through meshy divinities. he always ends up at some tropical locale surrounded by beautiful lady spies in amazing swimsuits. it's all ideal blizzard-movie-day material.
ready?:

 

1967 was the pinnacle of sunglass design. those above are gold hands 

giving the 'ok' sign.

and these

 her suit is mostly mesh w solid inserts. hard to get pics of it

 because her character is clutzy and always falling over things.

 serious badgirl earrings

 serious badgirl cube ring

and matching super serious badgirl 

cube bracelet

 insane asylum chic - white canvas gogo dress w giant red vinyl buckles

 and bleached pink hair. so future-now. i would like to be this girl today

 yes please. i have a drawer full of hairdye. i need some buckles.

 blondie's mini is beautiful, but that on the right there is a proper 

double-breasted gogo shorts-suit. if it were leather that would be 

pretty right-now too.

love this - circusy harlequin but super classy

sheer mesh w solid yellow panels

 there's an oleg cassini fashion show bit with a few

 dozen amazing prints. here is just one - all too good

i wish his fencing instructor wasn't standing at

 such a bad angle to really see her heart-shaped uniform.

 she never really turns around - more mesh





murderer's row has ann-margaret in it as a wild teen

 discoteque queen in cannes. i love a good 

longsleeved swimsuit

and pink vinyl hair bows for the pool

 also can we talk about this daisy dress and matching daisy skullcap

 for a sec please

and matching daisy panties. bury me in this please.

she has yellow nailpolish on too. just sayin..

these are vinyl or leather. let's say they're leather

ann's is backless, which makes it weirdly sexy when she turns around.

and those pointy white ankle strap shoes are my favorite.

 her whole thing (the blonde) is pretty ideal really. pink leather

 cape = true love.  but really. the daisies. w the red sunglasses. 

i don't need other clothes. i'll be the weird daisy chick, that's fine.
