My uncle moved to Charleston five or six years ago and since then, my family has been vacationing there. We’ve gone at least once a year, twice if we’ve been lucky. I love it there for a lot of reasons, especially because of all the history. It’s a good place for a Civil War buff like me to roam and easy to drag normal people along with me, what with it being so beautiful and all that.
(This post is a bit lame, because I don’t want to go into much detail, since a lot of the cool Civil War stuff are their own items on the List. I guess in the meantime, check out the tourism website for Charleston and daydream away about General Lee’s ghost standing on the balcony of The Mills House hotel…)
Boyfriend and I have plans to move to Charleston one day when we have a bit more money. He told me we could move to Rhett Butler Drive (outside of Charleston proper in the neighboring town of Ashley), but only if every time he leaves the house he’s allowed to say, “frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn,” which I think is a pretty good trade off.
since my writing post was received pretty well, i though i’d make other, to give some insight on the racism in the film industry and why it’s still a big problem now as it was in the past.

Walter Plunkett | Costume Sketch for “Gone With the Wind” | 1939⠀⠀
———⠀⠀
This sketch was designed for the character of Belle Watling, the good-natured madam of the Atlanta brothel, brilliantly played by Ona Munson in the most memorable role of her career. In order to further distance Watling from the “respectable” characters such as Melanie and Scarlett, Academy Award®-winner Plunkett designed a more garish wardrobe with brighter colors and brassy accoutrements. The costume shown here is not seen in the film and likely was one of many Plunkett masterpieces that landed on the cutting room floor. (via Bonhams)
