Keepsakes, etc. (cont. from Topic 113)

I claim this topic for England! Hehe

(Karen)Signed, Your Management, who is thinking about grinding a lot ;-) Are ya, now? Paints? artists? actors parading as artists? Must be all that phallic talk;-)

(Karen)Signed, Your Management, who is thinking about grinding a lot ;-) Lordy, ain't innuendo fun . . .we got grinding . .and all that linseed oil . .we could go to very bad places with this . .;) (Ada)All of Me has always been one of my faves. I am such a big Cole Porter fan . .I live by my "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook" 2 CD set! "Night and Day" is another one of my fav songs . .as well as "Begin the Beguine" . . Perhaps one day I'll put together a cabaret show here in NY w/ me singing Cole Porter . .as a tribute to ODB?:) Wouldn't that be a trip! Wonder if he'd come to see it . . . (Ada)Of course you may...but in keeping with this topic of symbolism, what should I list it as, paint knife, phallic paint knife, phallic paint trowel?? LOL! Indeedy everything can be phallic in this film! Phallic painting knife will be fine . . You sound busy busy . .hope the little ones are feeling better soon . .mmm . . you know how to make cheesecake? . .I think I've found my new best friend . . .I'll trade you a cheesecake recipie for a great cookie one (Pecan Caramel Shortbread made with homemade caramel)

Okay, updated list for GWAPE Pearl Earrings - Annette Question:.. Does he ever touch the pearl earrings? Only saw the film once and thought mother-in-law gave them to Maid from Hell. Can't can't remember V. paws on them. Original rule : Keepsakes: What he wears or touches. Of course there has been many evolutions with so many topic hosts, that it gets chaotic.

(Evelyn)What he wears or touches. I hate not remembering clearly, but does he put the earring in after he pierces her ear?

(Evelyn)What he wears or touches. (linda)I hate not remembering clearly, but does he put the earring in after he pierces her ear? Yes, indeedy . .originally, in the film, Maria Thins gave the earrings to Griet .but during ear piercing scene, Griet asks Vermeer to pierce her ear, then she gives him one of the earring and he did insert it after he wiped the blood away . .

Oh Great and Mighty Keepmistress, Just wanted a bit of clarification . . . Are tributes due for all Keeps you bestow on a person? . .or just for the specific items you ask tributes for? (b/c I may be sorely behind and will get to work ASAP during the quiet hours here at work during the Christmas Holidays . . )

(Evelyn)Question:.. Does he ever touch the pearl earrings? Only saw the film once and thought mother-in-law gave them to Maid from Hell. Can't can't remember V. paws on them. Oh Evelyn, you really had me worried here. I wouldn't be able to check until year 200whatever, when it gets out on dvd. (Kimberly)Yes, indeedy . .originally, in the film, Maria Thins gave the earrings to Griet .but during ear piercing scene, Griet asks Vermeer to pierce her ear, then she gives him one of the earring and he did insert it after he wiped the blood away . . Thank you, Kim :-) You just saved my day. Those pearl earrings are my very best keeps, and I would hate to loose them.

Aw...not to worry...we always make exceptions:-)

Who's we?

Ah ha.... Just checking to see if you were on your toesies;-))))

(Evelyn)Original rule:Keepsakes: What he wears or touches. Of course there has been many evolutions with so many topic hosts, that it gets chaotic. Memo to self...really, really need to update those rules and fast. (Annette)Oh Evelyn, you really had me worried here. No need to worry, Annette. I emailed Caribou when you first asked, so I knew he had touched the earring, I just didn't know when. (that's my job to check those things...such a hard job it is too;-).) (Evelyn)Aw...not to worry...we always make exceptions:-) (Karen)Who's we? Me, that's who. Y'all know I hate to make executive decisions (besides, my hips can't stand that much chocolate)! I'll get on updating those rules and have them posted tomorrow.

(Ada)(besides, my hips can't stand that much chocolate)! OK, so how about a little champagne? I think it will make dealing with this crowd a bit easier;-) Ok, it will make dealing with me a bit easier!

(Ada)I'll get on updating those rules and have them posted tomorrow But, but... What about the cheesecake and the rum sauce? I've been spending some time here trying to figure out how I can get on your Chritmas prezzie list;-)) Hope the boys are feeling better. (Linda)OK, so how about a little champagne? I think it will make dealing with this crowd a bit easier;-) Ok, it will make dealing with me a bit easier! LOL Linda!! You are a Keeps trip. I love the conundrums you pose but then I'm not mistress of the keeps and don't have the miss-stress of sorting you out. But I love to read them with a glass of wine that I often need to wipe off my keyboard later.

(Linda)OK, so how about a little champagne? I think it will make dealing with this crowd a bit easier;-) Ok, it will make dealing with me a bit easier! LOL! Too funny Linda. I do love champagne but a sloshed keepsmistress? Heck, I have enough trouble understanding what I type now (must be all that rum sauce I've been taste-testing);-)! (Bee)But, but... What about the cheesecake and the rum sauce? I've been spending some time here trying to figure out how I can get on your Chritmas prezzie list;-)) Heh...Bee, I'd send you a cheesecake but UPS doesn't ship anything over 150 lbs;-). And the boys are feeling very rambunctious, so you know they're fine:-). I promised I'd have rules up today- THE RULES 1. Anyone will be allowed to "own" one and only one item per film. - no trading or giving back items from one movie to claim 2 from another. 2. Keeps may be traded but only for another item from the same film. 3. Newcomers may claim "unclaimed" items only. 4. Body parts (including hair) is forbidden. If you can prove CF wore a wig in the role, that you may claim. (Sorry ladies, there's only so much of CF to give out, we have to share :-).) 5. Keeps must be seen in the movie to be claimed. A keep may be claimed from a publicity still, book, or trailer but only if it�s also in the movie. 6. The keepsake in question must be worn or at least touched by CF. 7. In the event of a sequel, items claimed in the first movie stay claimed. Guideline (not a rule, as guidelines are not enforceable) Claimants should write a poem, essay or other creative expression of their regard for said claimed items. While this guideline cannot be enforced, following it is desirable as (a) these creative submissions will be used to resolve any cases of dispute and (b) your Keepmistress wants to read them and you know how important it is to stay on the good side of your Keepmistress. ;-)

Thanks for posting the Keeps rules Ada;) . .will start working on some tributes for ya;) A 150lb cheesecake! . .Woo hoo! I want to get on that Christmas list too! Too bad we don't have an single archive composed of just all of the tributes . .I've read some of the older ones and have been truly inspired!

Ok, here's my attempt at a tribute for those P&P wedding gloves, Ada! ��However, he wrote some verses on her, and very pretty they were.� �And so ended his affection,� said Elizabeth impatiently. �There has been many a one, I fancy overcome in the same way. I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!� �I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love,� said Darcy. �Of a fine, stout healthy love it may. Every thing nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away.� Darcy only smiled� �Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice ON DARCY'S WEDDING GLOVES In satin of the finest dove-like grey, Your glove encloses the strong and sculpted hand That placed on Lizzy�s own the golden band And sanctified your wintry wedding day. Fine figure of a man, your pride was drawn away Despite your hauteur, passion comes unplanned Love forces gentlemen to understand; The heart pulls stronger than prejudice can sway In vain have I struggled; it will not do. But to another have you sworn your soul, Immortally together live your loves. O Darcy, endless adoration be true, Though not for me, your goodness does console Since I may always cherish your fine gloves.

Oh Mistress of the Keeps, I most respectfully submit that Shoshana has (sob) most eloquently satisfied the requirements for her keep and move it be hers eternally (that truly was lovely! -- nicely done!)

(JA)Darcy only smiled (Shoshana)Though not for me, your goodness does console Since I may always cherish your fine gloves. Lovely Shoshana:-) You are truely deserving.

Shoshana - That was beautiful! . .you are a truly are a poet.

Ada . .here's a tribute I owe you for Vermeer's painting knife . . .other tributes to come;) A free verse poem entitled: "in the shadows of the garret" in the shadows of the garret (tribute to the Vermeer�s painting knife) in the shadows of the garret she rises with the sun tucking wisps of hair beneath a crisply starched cap, the smell of linseed oil is strong in the air as is the the comforting sound of the muller grinding, pulverizing into powders colors that pierce her soul the bright cerulean blue the deep, rich russet the jewel tones which transport her away from the grey, shadowy garret in Delft and into his world his corner of light into his canvas in the shadows of the garret she pauses in her industry to glance, just for a moment at his place, his chair where hours before he sat next to her grinding, pulverizing, mixing those jewel tones the paint, the colors into existence closing her eyes, she hears comforting sound of his breathing as he works with the muller she smells the linseed oil on his hands, in his clothes strong and pungent as it is on her hands, her clothes, her hair tucked beneath the crisply starched cap it never leaves her that smell his smell in the shadows of the garret it is as if he is still sitting beside her she blushes beneath her crisply starched cap for he is so real, that she feels the warmth of his body so close to hers as together they breathe in time to the grinding of the muller she pauses to glance at his hand scented with linseed stained with the bright cerulean blue the deep rich russet of the jewel colored paints he is mixing with care his fingers deftly balancing his painting knife he cradles it, caresses it gently applies pressure here firmly there it is his instrument he applies it well, knowingly in the shadows of the garret the girl opens her eyes to find herself alone her own fingers now stained with paint she has mixed holding his instrument mimicking his movements gentle, firm, knowing and she wonders what it would be like to be cradled, caressed with his apt fingers perfumed with linseed drowning in pools of bright cerulean blue deep rich russet colors that pierce her soul but she notices the light pushing back the shadows the grinding of the muller is left aside as she tucks back a curl escaped from her crisply starched cap and continues downstairs to the tedium of colorless grey Delft

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Can't speak for Ada, but I'd give you anything you asked for.

Oh my, that's just gorgeous. I haven't posted for awhile, been in lurker mode, but broke my silence to thank you. Michelle

A gorgeous and stirring tribute, Kimberly! That is a piece of art in itself. Thank you for sharing. Mmmm... makes me want to start working on another tribute.

Ditto, and can be a tribute to my muller as well. Thanks!

Oh my goodness gracious Kim! Your tribute is just wonderful. You are so talented. Thank you so much. The phallic paint knife is yours. Mind you, if I dared to say no after that, I'd probably get beaten to a pulp;-).

Wow... that was beautiful Kimberly, thank you so much!

(Karen) and can be a tribute to my muller as well. Thanks! Karen, if anyone else had said this, you know I'd have say no riding on coattails, but because you're the boss...;-)! one of these days I'm going to get you to do something...one of these days;-)!

Hate to tell you, Madame Keepmistress, but I'm totally exempt from the tribute guideline. Don't I do enough around here, huh? ;-)

If you're gonna squabble, ladies, can you do it in large font? Squinting causes laugh lines;-) Lovely tribute, Kimberly. Glad I can hand off the trouble maker label to someone else for awhile;-)

Lovely Kimberley!

Sorry!

(*blushes*)Thanks girls, glad you liked it! (Ada)Mind you, if I dared to say no after that, I'd probably get beaten to a pulp;-) Hmmm . .maybe it should be in the rules . .no physical harm should come to the Keepmistress? If you said no . .well I wouldn't resort to any physical violence . .I might try to sneak in and steal it whil you were sleeping;) (Karen)and can be a tribute to my muller as well Of course! . .I threw all that "grinding" in just for you;) Linda - trouble maker ....me???? . . .well, anything to help;)

(to Karen)one of these days I'm going to get you to do something...one of these days;-)! LOL. I think we can all agree that Karen's efforts are the greatest tribute around. I wish.....

(Linda) Glad I can hand off the trouble maker label to someone else for awhile;-) Glad you can toss yours off so easily. Mine is attached with Superglue. ;-) Awesome, Kimberly!

Beautiful tribute, Kimberly. That certainly will be a tough one to match. For whatever a newbie's vote counts for, I'm 'thumbs up' on this one.

(Evelyn) I think we can all agree that Karen's efforts are the greatest tribute around. oh yes completely, but I would love to see Karen's nimble mind come up with something....one of these days;-)! Leslie, around here, a newbie's as good as an oldie. No, wait...how about a newbie but still a goodie? Heh..sorry, in a strange mood today, couldn't resist;-). And since GWAPE is opening today across the pond, I'll update the list... Girl with a Pearl Earring - Earring (by mushimoko) - Annette Ring - Caribou Hat - MoonD Shirt (camera obscura scene) - LindaK Coat(camera obscura scene) - Shoshana Camera obscura - LisaJH Wig - Darla Muller - Karen Ear piercer - Tress Phallic paint brush - Evelyn Phallic paint knife - Kim

(Ada) but I would love to see Karen's nimble mind come up with something....one of these days;-)! Something???? Well, don't any of my "interviews" or the Firth Family in the West travelogue count as something from my "nimble mind"? Perhaps I can work in a keepsake in a future installment...but I don't do poetry of any kind (sonnets, haikus, limericks or free verse). Sorry. ;-)

Karen, lol..no no those count they really do..you're marvelous at your job and we love you for it. I just wanted something special for keeps that's all:-). I'm going to quit this because someone may want me to do something soon...eep! Okay shutting up now;-)!

Now, I would like those trousers from GWAPE. The ones that show off the finest chicken legs that the United Kingdom has to offer.

(Allison)Now, I would like those trousers from GWAPE. Great choice . .never thought I'd like ODB in blue cordouroy . .but he certainly cuts a fine figure in that suit! Will your tribute be poultry themed?:)

Will your tribute be poultry themed?:) Perhaps an original recipe for Chicken Cordon Bleu with Gwape Sauce?

crappity!

(*dancing around*) I feel like chicken tonight . .like chicken tonight . . Sorry Boss . .in very silly mood today;)

If anything, it should be cooked in a Dutch oven. ;-)

If anything, it should be cooked in a Dutch oven. ;-) Then who gets to slather him all over with butter like Tanneke in the film?;) OK . .I'll stop now;)

closing tag

Allison, do you want fries with that? Sorry, couldn't resist;-) Actually would you want just the chicken-legged blue cordouroy trousers or the whole suit?

Actually would you want just the chicken-legged blue cordouroy trousers or the whole suit? Actually would just like the legs but know that is not allowed :-( So the whole suit :D Do you think it will still smell of Zanzibar (was that the stuff)?

Found one (finally)! Ada - from P&P after numerous viewings . . May I have Lizzie's brownish gloves that she is wearing when she goes to visit Pemberly w/ her Aunt & Uncle Gardiner. (the day of the infamous wet shirt encounter!) Noticed that Darcy held her hand as he helped her into the carriage as they leave. .thereby touching her gloves . .aha! . .a Keep!!!! I scanned the last known P&P list . .do not believe it is there;) (FYI: still working on tribute for Arsenal red striped scarf from FP . . )

(Kim)Then who gets to slather him all over with butter like Tanneke in the film?;) I keep seeing Colin getting slathered ala MBFGW...with fried chicken legs;-)! (Allison)Actually would just like the legs but know that is not allowed :-( So the whole suit :D Do you think it will still smell of Zanzibar (was that the stuff)? Allison, the suit it yours. Treat it well. Heh, no, not Zanzibar, it probably smells more of linseed oil and turpintine than anything else;-). (Kim)Found one (finally)! - from P&P after numerous viewings Finally! Lizzies's brown gloves, ooh very nice keep Kim! Yes, they can be yours. And I am so sure it was such a hardship to keep viewing P&P over and over;-)!

(Kim)Ada could you post the TEOR current list on the keeps page? Not a prob, hun...but don't forget, if it's not seen on screen, it ain't a keeper:-). The Edge of Reason - Blue suit (wet)- Evelyn White suit shirt (also wet)- MoonD Bridget's apt key (not wet)- Tress Blue Overcoat (or picnic shirt...depending on overcoat not being the same as Karen's from first movie...neither one wet, I think;-).) - Linda

(Ada)Blue Overcoat (or picnic shirt...depending on overcoat not being the same as Karen's from first movie...neither one wet, I think;-).) - Linda I really do think it's two different coats. The one from BJD(Karen's)looks black, and this one does look navy.

The one from BJD(Karen's)looks black, Black? On my screen it looks blue. 'sides I thought only undertakers wore black coats...with oxfords and short socks, of course;-)

All this talk of gloves being claimed....... just checked out next week's "Regency House Party" according to the title it says "The gloves are off" ;-))

Oh Keepmistress, I am requesting the striped suit from Colin's monologue in SNL. Actually, the MG's would like to ask special permission to claim 2 items as an exception, for standing out in the chilly rain, from 4:40am for a couple of hours waiting for tix. If you have an objection, Linda would be the one to address primarily. ;-) (Way to pawn that off, huh Linda? ;-)) I will ask for the second should we get permission.

Hey Ada, May I ask for the black buttondown shirt, if possible that he wore at the end of SNL, then to the party (the one he was wearing when I slipped my arm about his waist!:) Want to claim that puppy very fast!

(Shosh from topic 187)BTW, Ada, if you're there, I claim the pirate hat from the before ad break stills (please?!!!!). Oh I'm here, I'm just so stunned that I can't speak (don't worry it won't last long;-).) It sounds like you all had a such wonderfully exciting time. I'm so terribly horribly jealous, I'm greener than Scarlett's dress! As far as keeps from SNL..hmmm, hmmm...it's supposed to be just movies ya know, but heck, I'm always making exceptions, I'm make another one:-). Shosh, even though you didn't request it here (ahem!) I'll give you your pirate hat. Can't not give it to you...it's too too cute and it deserves to be a keep. Just be careful of that feather;-). (Dorine)Oh Keepmistress, I am requesting the striped suit from Colin's monologue in SNL. Actually, the MG's would like to ask special permission to claim 2 items as an exception, for standing out in the chilly rain, from 4:40am for a couple of hours waiting for tix. If you have an objection, Linda would be the one to address primarily. ;-) (Way to pawn that off, huh Linda? ;-)) So for standing out in the rain without catching cold, for tackling non-US-famous/famous British comedians, and for the cujones needed to crash that party, you want Colin's striped suit AND another keep? And if I don't like it, you want to get Linda in trouble? LOL! How on earth could I say no to that? (I'm just too easy for this job) Yes, you and Linda can have 2 keeps! Don't push it though..it's a one time only thing;-)! (Kim)May I ask for the black buttondown shirt, if possible that he wore at the end of SNL, then to the party (the one he was wearing when I slipped my arm about his waist!:) Kim, you know I'm pouting now. I wanted that shirt...also wanted to be the one who slipped my arm around his waist (mind you, I'm so short it probably would have been his hips) but it wasn't me...it was you (sniff sniff)! Ooooh okay, the shirt's yours. With all your hard work and reporting, you certainly deserve it. Next time though, you're taking me along;-)!

Bless you, dear Ada! :-D Ah, excellent choice Kim! Must watch my tape before my next request to see if it made the show and not just the rehearsal.

(Dorine) Ah, excellent choice Kim! After being THAT close . .well there's no way I wouldn't try to get it . .nice fabric, I can attest to that:) . .and the wearer, well not a bad fellow either . .

(Ada)As far as keeps from SNL..hmmm, hmmm...it's supposed to be just movies ya know, but heck, I'm always making exceptions, I'm make another one:-). Well I did think it was perfomances, including TV. After all, P&P was on TV. Dearest Ada, Thank YOU! I apologize for not asking properly, but I'm still addled from the experience. I shall cherish that hat forever. BTW, how'd it feel to have Him almost saying your name? (Yes, Ida and Ada are different, though He was saying "Ay-da"). And I know I'm not a MG, but do I not fit in to the criteria for getting to SNL keeps (i.e., standing out in the chilly rain, from 4:40am for a couple of hours waiting for tix)? I can't quite think of another request at the moment, but I'd like to have the opportunity. ;-) What about items in sketches not actually shown on TV but that appeared in the dress rehersal?

SNL will appear on firth.com's TV page. So, without stepping on our Keepmistress's toes, I'd say you can have whatever he wore on TV. (unofficially speaking of course)

(Shosh)I can't quite think of another request at the moment, but I'd like to have the opportunity. ;-) Shosh - you were out in the rain with us though suffering through that cold and wind, and even if you don't live in the metro area, I'd say you're an honorary MG just for this weeknd!!! But oh..Ooh . .oh if that's true . .I wasn't sure if that double SNL keep request was just for Dorine and Linda . .I'd like a second crack at it too!!!! Ada - you know how I am with those keep requests!!! (Karen)SNL will appear on firth.com's TV page. So, without stepping on our Keepmistress's toes, I'd say you can have whatever he wore on TV. YESSSS!!!!!!

Dang - hit the submit button. Now Ada, if the all the MG's can get a 2nd keep . .may I ask for one? (does my daily recon work that led up to SNL on Sat possibly count as a reason to ask??)if that's not ok, I understand . . but IF that's possible . . I'd like the grey confederate soldier cap he wore during the Cold Mountain sketch. I'd ask for the blond wig too, but that's one keep too many, I know . .can't be greedy. But, I'll leave that up to your descretion ,oh great wise Mistress of the Keeps!!!!

And it's only stuff that actually aired, right?

Ada, I throw my hat in for your consideration on two SNL keeps. Would you kindly deem me worthy of two wardrobe items we saw on the still photos that aired during the commercial breaks? In one image Colin is wearing a particularly lovely suit with black and dk. green stripes. The other item I covet is the lovely red period jacket with ruffles and lace on the cuffs.

Ada, I believe I've goofed... Upon yet another viewing of the SNL tape this evening, it appears the striped suit I requested from the still photos may be one and the same with that worn in the monologue and previously claimed by Dorine. I withdraw my request and will think about another. My apologies.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar........ So here's a request that Linda would be jealous of (because of possible complexities;-)). Oh Ada of the justice scales, would the cigar that ODB holds in his hands in those lovely artistic shots be a Keepsicle? It was smoking and he was holding it and it was on the program and I would inhale;-))

(Bee) It was smoking and he was holding it and it was on the program and I would inhale;-)) Am sitting at home giggling.....the inhale remark makes me think of Mr. Clinton...and when I think of cigars and Mr. Clinton....I think.....well....nevermind....but I am thinking Bee is being naughty.....;-)

but I am thinking Bee is being naughty.....;-) Who me? (You seem to have gotten my point, you little devil;-)) I was trying to be Freudian and erudite;-)) Yeah, like a woman like me would think that Freud knew what the f***k what he was talking about when it came to women! But that belongs on Odds and ends;-))

Bee!!! Naughty, naughty!!!!!;)

Ooooh I should have known this was going to happen. (banging head on desk) Must remember, never, ever say yes to 2 keeps again;-)! Okay, since I gave Dorine and Linda the option of 2 keeps then I must give the other MG ladies (Shosh, Kim, Bee, Little Bee, Leslie, who am I missing?) that same option...it's only fair and I like to be fair. Now, having said that, I'd also like to say something I'm always telling the boys...Don't forget to share your toys, there are others that would like to play too!;-) (Karen)So, without stepping on our Keepmistress's toes, I'd say you can have whatever he wore on TV. (unofficially speaking of course) Karen, I don't mind, please step on my toes anytime, makes my dilemmas so much easier;-)! Officially speaking then, whatever Colin wore that was seen on TV can be a keep, including the still photos. (Also because I wasn't at dress rehearsal..so no me..no keep;-).) (Leslie)..Colin is wearing a particularly lovely suit with black and dk. green stripes. The other item I covet is the lovely red period jacket with ruffles and lace on the cuffs. ...it appears the striped suit I requested from the still photos may be one and the same with that worn in the monologue and previously claimed by Dorine. I withdraw my request and will think about Leslie, so are you withdrawing both requests or do you still want (what I'm calling) the Johnny Depp jacket? (Bee)..would the cigar that ODB holds in his hands in those lovely artistic shots be a Keepsicle? Yes indeed it would Bee and indeed it's yours:-). So the list looks like this so far: Saturday Night Live - 03/06/04 Striped suit from monologue - Dorine Black shirt and grey confederate hat - Kimberly Pirate's hat - Shoshana Cigar - Bee Johnny Depp pirate coat - Leslie (until further notice) Going to bed now since my headache from the weekend has come back for some reason;-)

You know, there is a dark blue suit that usually has someone's name on it. ;-)

(Ada) Leslie, so are you withdrawing both requests or do you still want (what I'm calling) the Johnny Depp jacket? Yes, Ada. I would like to hold on to what you so aptly called the Johnny Depp jacket. Lest I appear greedy in regard to my second claim, I will hold off until we hear from Little Bee and Linda as to what their choices might be. Many thanks.

And there's Linda. While I might have been on the edge of sleep, I think one of her wanted keeps may have been claimed. :-(

(Karen)You know, there is a dark blue suit that usually has someone's name on it. ;-) *Frantically, *Me, me!!! Hotel-room blue suit. Though it had a "salesman look" about it:-( Nevermind, this guy "makes the suit". Court-room suit (more $$$, fat lawyer!)looks better, but hate pin-stripe. Too "Bada-Bing Club" -looking.

(Karen)And there's Linda. While I might have been on the edge of sleep, I think one of her wanted keeps may have been claimed. :-( Uh oh . .what did she want???? If it's one of mine, I'll defer to her . .was too fabulous meeting her this wknd!

I'm fairly certain that she said she wanted the cigar and the round eyeglasses he wore in the still shot. I'm sure the reason we haven't heard from her is that she's away these few days with limited access. Since Bee has already claimed the cigar, should we put a hold on the glasses 'till she returns?

Sorry if I was a bit vague in my prior post. Ada, I'm sure you know I was referring to Linda.

(Evelyn) Court-room suit (more $$$, fat lawyer!) looks better, but hate pin-stripe. Linda said it wasn't a 'whole' suit. He was wearing jeans with the jacket (she did say you can catch a glimpse of them on the telly, but I haven't had time to go back and look)!

I think Linda told me in the bar on Sat she wanted the cigar, but maybe it was Bee instead. Not sure now. I'd like the confederate shirt as my second keep please. :-) (Karen)You know, there is a dark blue suit that usually has someone's name on it. ;-) (Evelyn) *Frantically, *Me, me!!! Hotel-room blue suit. Though it had a "salesman look" about it:-( Nevermind, this guy "makes the suit". As soon as I saw that blue suit in that skit I leaned over to Kimberly and said, "There's Evelyn's blue suit." ;-)

What a gang....thinking of me /n the blue suit...during the show :-)))))) Loves ya!!!*kiss, kiss*

(Dorine)I think Linda told me in the bar on Sat she wanted the cigar, but maybe it was Bee instead. Not sure now. Uh, yes, It was me that asked for the cigar, but I'll let that nasty bee have it since I have decided on something else. First off, hey you guys you started without me, but that's ok. Darling Ada, I will take the full blame and responsibility for requesting the two keeps. Even though standing out in the rain at 4:40am was my reasoning...LOL it was a labor of love. I'd do it again in a minute. So....here goes. I'm requesting ODB's jeans. Yes those lovely faded-in-the-right-places jeans. I know they are part of his personal wardrobe (and worn on the show)so I'll gladly give up the cigar;-) For my second keep, if our darling Ada will agree-I'd still like to have the sunglasses from the stills. ODB's jeans and sunglasses, that'll do me;-)

Oh gawd, not home even an hour and I'm double posting;-) How on earth could I say no to that? (I'm just too easy for this job) Yes, you and Linda can have 2 keeps! Don't push it though..it's a one time only thing;-)! LOL, I just need to tell you how busy and important you are, Ada. When I called the boss-boss in the wee hours of the morning and asked her about the keeps she did say that all requests were at your discretion. You got the power, girl. I'm impressed;-) Also, I'll say it here-thanks Karen for taking our calls at all hours of the am over the weekend. I know Dorine was quite clear headed, and I must admit, I was not you were very gracious and patient with one slightly crazy girl. Who needs drugs when a natural high is much more fun?

(Linda) When I called the boss-boss in the wee hours of the morning and asked her about the keeps... LOLing and shaking my head...asked her about keeps?! You know, I'm not sure I would even mind if you guys had exclusive rights, given what you went through and the *sacrifices* you made for ...ummmm... the greater good -- or whatever. If I had my way, I'd have y'all belly up to the bar and I'd have Ada give you another round on me! Too funny...

(Karen)You know, there is a dark blue suit that usually has someone's name on it. ;-) (Evelyn)*Frantically, *Me, me!!! I knew that,I did. Really. I didn't forget that Evelyn always gets the blue suits..nope, not me. I was..uhm..just waiting for her to confirm that she wanted it, uh hunh..that's it. And she did...so now it's hers;-). (Linda)When I called the boss-boss in the wee hours of the morning and asked her about the keeps she did say that all requests were at your discretion Remind me to never give you my phone number;-P. (Barb)...I'd have Ada give you another round...! Barb, quit giving them more ideas;-DDD! So the updated list is as follows: Saturday Night Live - Monologue suit (striped) and Confederate shirt - Dorine Black shirt and Confederate hat - Kim Johnny Depp jacket - Leslie Orlando Bloom hat - Shosh Cigar - Bee Hotel skit blue suit - Evelyn Well-worn jeans and sunglasses(from stills) - Linda As always, if I got something wrong, let me know. But don't call me in the wee hours;-)

The jeans and the sunglasses? Sheesh! I had my eye on those jeans. So much better than ones he's worn before that didn't look worn at all. You know there are two pairs of sunglasses in the pics. Make your selection first. (Barb) LOLing and shaking my head...asked her about keeps?! Among other things. ;-) Wasn't a big deal; I hadn't fallen asleep yet. Besides, it was worth losing sleep just to hear all about their exploits that night. As a sage co-star of Colin's once said, "Bring it on!"

(Karen)You know there are two pairs of sunglasses in the pics. Make your selection first. My fault, Karen. Leslie said that Linda had wanted the round eyeglasses with her cigar...I just forgot to write it down. Sheesh! I had my eye on those jeans Heh..gotta move fast with these Metro Gals. I wanted the gaudy jacket. That olive green shirt is still up for grabs:-)

(Karen)You know there are two pairs of sunglasses in the pics. Make your selection first. (Ada)Leslie said that Linda had wanted the round eyeglasses Thanks, Karen, for allowing me to choose first. The sunglasses are the round ones he wears with the red-striped jacket in the stills. However, since I jumped on the jeans and slipped them out from under you, eh, Colin...(ohhh I love the sound of that) I will give up the round ones to you as long as I can have the other pair. You decide.

No, that's OK, I was leaning to the other ones. I don't like the round ones.

Oooh, funny you mention the green shirt was my initial second pick, but decided to go for the confederate shirt as it's a period shirt of sorts, the closest I'll get to having a Darcy-like shirt, it was in what is probably my favorite skit, and it's directly on his skin, unlike the green shirt. ;-D

(Dorine)the closest I'll get to having a Darcy-like shirt Ahh . . if only that Jane Eyre spot . .or even the nautical skit was in . .you would have had some nice keeps there;) But think he was wearing the confederate shirt when he waved to ya!:)

Ahh . . if only that Jane Eyre spot . .or even the nautical skit was in . .you would have had some nice keeps there;) OOO000H, if they kept the nautical spot I just might have been tempted to give up the sunglasses for the breeches.

Since I'm the troublemaker for today . .let me stir some things up on this topic too . . .:) Oh, Mighty and Wise Mistress of the Keeps, with the help of fellow Droolers, I have been catching up on more and more of my darlin's films . . So to add to my CF Hope chest may I request: Another Country - his wire rimmed glasses (was going to ask for his torch - to keep with a phallic theme from GWAPE, but changed my mind!) A Month In The Country - the book Birkin presses the Mrs. Keach's rose in Dutch Girls - (Evelyn , you beat me to that scarf!)His field hockey uniform (pink sweatshirt, little shorts and all!) Tumbledown -the red patterned scarf he's wearing in the bar the night before he's shipped off to the Falklands Donovan Quick - That lovely jacket he wears while driving the Quick and Pannick bus PlayMaker - Does someone own the towel from the famous Nessie shower scene?

(Kimberley)- (Evelyn , you beat me to that scarf!) Along with navy suits, I like him in scarves.... Think I grabbed the one in LA too. The one he must have lost on the plane. Had it boarding, but not on arrival in France. (Kimberley) Since I'm the troublemaker for today .... Today, you. Tomorrow, me. We all take turns;-)

(Evelyn)Along with navy suits, I like him in scarves.... MMMMMMmmmmmm yes . .I so agree . .great minds think alike!! . .and that DG grey one is a great keeper;)

I think I'm going to make a "traumatic" request as I was reminded that I had never asked for anything. .....was going to ask for Ben's ant farm, then thought....hmmmm .....maybe the infamous spider would be better (but although I don't fear spiders in particular, I didn't want to take care if it.....ick!) ....then there was Mena's necklace, which he touches (and I asked Marc Evans the silly question about its significance....) ....then I thought that maybe I would like his wedding band. He no longer needs it (his wife is dead, right ;-)??) and the reminder of it for him will surely drive him mad! But then I thought about the one thing (other than being a bit kooky) that we have in common. Our love of Wilbur. I have a tattoo of a pig (college thing, don't ask) and Wilbur was the inspiration (am thankful that I never got the web tattooed on my shoulder blade as was part of the original plan...the one that said "Some Pig!" ...although....that would have made for an interesting conversation starter with Mr. Evans). Soooooo......if the Keeps Mistress will allow me, I would like to take Ben's copy of Charlotte's Web. The one he doodled in and loved......

Dutch Girls - (Evelyn , you beat me to that scarf!)His field hockey uniform (pink sweatshirt, little shorts and all!) Ms Keep, would you check this out? I thought I owned one of his pink things. Was it this (with cute shorts) or the blazer? Or it might be nothing for all I remember. ;-)

(Kim)Oh, Mighty and Wise Mistress of the Keeps... Me? Mighty, Wise? ROFL! Oh that's too funny...I'm just dying of laughter, but on to the keeps Another Country - his wire rimmed glasses Yes Kim, those can be yours. A Month In The Country - the book Birkin presses the Mrs. Keach's rose Those too. Tumbledown -the red patterned scarf Sure ok. Donovan Quick - That lovely jacket he wears while driving Uh hunh, yup. Dutch Girls - His field hockey uniform Had to do some searching on this one. I couldn't find anything requested for Dutch Girls other than Evelyn's scarf (sorry Karen), so unless the boss wants to fight you for it,the outfit is yours. PlayMaker - Does someone own the towel from the famous Nessie shower scene? Ahh..nope sorry, Shosh already has that lovely little towel...but the piano is yours if you want it;-)! (Tress)...if the Keeps Mistress will allow me, I would like to take Ben's copy of Charlotte's Web. Tress, ooooh I was hoping there'd be a tennis ball somewhere in this movie for you. Oh well, I guess you can make do with Ben's copy of Charlotte's Web but no drooling on the doodling;-)

Many thanks Ada! . .will try to find time to write tributes (I am soooo behind!) Ah well . .as to Playmaker . .Lucky lucky Shosh got a good keep! . . But since I believe I have the song he plays on the piano from RV . .I need a piano to play it on! (Hey can stick my bust of Beethoven from MLSF right on top of it!) Interior design ala Colin . .hmm I might have a good idea going here .. . Wooo hoo!! Count me in for the piano! Boss, would you like the field hockey outfit from DG? . .I would of course release it to your care if you wish and scan the film for another keep . .;)

would you like the field hockey outfit from DG? . .I would of course release it to your care if you wish and scan the film for another keep . .;) Not necessary, but thank you for offering. The pink/salmon school blazer will do me fine....though the buttoned-up to the eyeballs pajamas are rather tempting and I do have an assortment of bedwear claimed. ;-)

Dearest Keepmistress . .it's been quiet on this topic for awhile so I'd thought to start some trouble . . Been laid up in bed with a turned ankled (no, did not slip on the cobbles, but made an frightfully embarassing fall doing some extra work on a film set yesterday) Anywhooo . .since I've been laid up (and finished the production of the Tempest I was currently doing) I have finally had the time to watch Lost Empires . . . So to add to my CF Hope chest filled to the brim with lovely items . .may I ask, in my weakened invalid state . .has anyone claimed the little cap he wore in the film? Many thanks to the Colin Firth Career Timeline for the pic

Darlin' Kim...so sorry I haven't responded before this...let's just say it's been a long week:-). Anyway, no one has claimed anything from Lost Empires,so you're the first! The cap is yours, but only if you want it;-). Actually, many of ODB's films before P&P have very few claimed keeps and several including MOTM, Camille (yoohoo Evelyn!), English Patient and AZ have no keepsakes claimed at all. If anyone is interested, I can post a list of those movies...just let me know:-).

I'll claim the anorak from MOTM. (no blue suit available;-(( The tux from TEP. Will have to view Camille *sigh* again for a goodie. But methinks it's a silly cravat . AZ Leather jacket, (but I thought Moon grabbed that one.

Great keepmistress . .many thanks for the hat from LE! Could you post the lists again . .I know it probably is big pain to do so . . .Am interested to see what people have . . Am wondering if there are any more scarves floating about . .I know Evelyn has the nice grey one from DG;) Evelyn - thought you had the glass rose from Camille?:)

Not a problemo:-D I'll list the movies that have keeps first and then list the ones w/o keeps...which after this may not be too many anymore;-).

Crikey! . .I apologize for your sore fingers - since I started this request up! (Would you like me to help keep this as an electronic file for you? - anything to help you out! - seriously:) Do you want me to look back in the keeps records and re-type or even cut & paste P& P for you? - Anything!) Buuuuttttt, since you posted the list . .here comes another troublemaker (add my name to the list with linda & tress)again with the big requests . . . I beleive I have lagged seriously with tributes, but if you want to hold these items ransome until I come up with something . . . WOF - the bedsheets from the vertical shagging scene;) BlackAdder - the copy of MacBeth he was carrying when he ran into the BlackAdder TEOR - the tuxedo he is wearing when he goes to Bridget's apt Conspiracy - the chair he is sitting in while at the Wanassee Conference

(Ada the oracle) Shirt/Khaki pants from Rowboat scene (Bonus - glass from Tart/Vicars party) - BarbS Oh man, you even have my bonus! You are too good. I'll be glad when tomorrow (and my test) is over...I have a new book to read, a film discussion to catch up on and a free-for-all brewing in keeps. So many lovely potential keeps, so little time! (Thanks for all your work!)

Uh, Mistress, does ignore mean forget it, or I'll deal with you later?;-)

LOL, Linda! No no honey, not ignore,I could never ignore you;-)! I was just on a roll and didn't want to stop and ammend lists. Kim's, Tress' ('s, 'es?) and your requests have been approved and duly noted in my little book;-).

(Ada)_Kim's, Tress' ('s, 'es?) and your requests have been approved and duly noted in my little book;-). YESSSS!!!!! Dear Keepmistress . .many many thanks . .and just for that, sometime btwn the MOTM film discussion and speed reading Where The Truth Lies I will find a way to do a tribute!!!!

I'm reserving TEOR robe for the time being.

(Karen)I'm reserving TEOR robe for the time being. Ooooh! I'm going back to that trailer and see what I can dig up.

Boss, the robe is yours for the time being. Looks very comfy...unlike leather pants;-). Troubl..I mean Linda, honey;-D! I'm sorry but you can't dig anything else up right now. Right now you're holding on to his overcoat if it's a different one from BJD1 and on reserve you've got the picnic shirt...don't you remember;-D?

Yeah, yeah, Ms.(you don't miss a trick do you?)Ada. Just seeing if I could sneak something in under the wire. Sheesh!;-) BTW-I heard that!

Ha!...Can't sneak anything past me, especially since darlin' Kim typed up a full keeps list for me. Now my fingers won't cramp up from typing so much;-) Tell ya what I'm gonna do, I'll repost TEOR just to refresh everyone's mind. I'll also put up Trauma, as it'll be opening soon:-). BJD: The Edge of Reason - Blue Suit (fight scene) - Evelyn Wet shirt (fight scene) - MoonD Bridget's apartment key - Tress Overcoat (if not Karen's coat from BJD1) - LindaK Tuxedo worn when at Bridget�s apt � KimS (ahem...love how you sneaked this one in, Kim!) Trauma - Leather necklace (aka leash) - Evelyn Chuck Taylor sneakers - Maria Charlotte's Web book � Tress Let me know if anyone wants to add something;-)

Long time - no claims, but I think I'll try these two movies. BJD - TEOR: Would love the "Von Trapp" outfit. If that's more than one item, I would have to chose the crispy white shirt. Trauma: In the photografs with his wife, he wears a striped shirt. May I claim that, please? Ada - I know, I still own tributes to some older items. One fine day, I'll get to it, I promise :-)

Sneak it in? . .me??? - Check my request on 112 and your response on 115! I swear . .greedy little git that I am . .I put in my requests as the others do!:) Glad I could help w/ the list . .it was a long one!

(Kim) Sneak it in? . .me??? - Check my request on 112 and your response on 115! So sorry Kim, you're right of course. My excuse is that's when I was re-typing the lists and ignoring Tress, Linda and you;-). Annette, the Von Trapp shirt. Uhm, see, it's like this, you know Linda, right? Linda's the one who requested the only-if-it's-a-different-one-than-Karen's- overcoat? Wellll, she also requested the picnic/Von Trapp shirt be put on hold if the overcoat wasn't different, and uhm...I kinda did that (bad Ada, bad!). Linda might be persuaded to give up the alternate request(help me out here, Linda!) and if so, then the shirt would be yours. Beating her up is an option;-). But the striped shirt from Trauma is yours...definitely (well, as long as it's in the movie somewhere). Going back to bed as Monday is not starting out well for me;-).

LOL, Would the Keepsmistress be so kind as to post a photo of that Von Trapp shirt? I can't seem to recall what it looks like. Maybe I'll be persuaded to give it up. (Ada)I kinda did that (bad Ada, bad!). Hey, it isn't every day a person is in an overcoat duel with the boss;-) You did the right thing, dear Keepsmistress, as one can't really decided if it's the same coat or not until the poxy film comes out, right? (Ada)Beating her up is an option;-). I'm so telling Karen.

Linda - isn't this the shirt . .form the seemingly sound of music idillyic frolic in the fields pics?? (Ada)Beating her up is an option;-). (linda)I'm so telling Karen. Oooh it's a fight . .a real fight!:) - no throwing anybody through any plate glass windows . . .
