Being a Los Angeles native, real encounters with the movie industry are not uncommon. Celebrity sightings, friends in the biz, and long conversations about lighting and sound happen on a regular basis. I have always loved the movies, the splashier the better (Moulin Rouge was basically made for me). So, using that as a jumping off point I am starting a series of posts based on film (and television) that have inspired and moved me in some way. Each post will have a specifically designed invite and elements of decor based on the look and feel of that movie. Think of it as if I was planning a theme party for based on a favorite film. 

First up, Desperately Seeking Susan . Not quite a classic, but lots of style!

The invite.

The elements of style: 1. Pagoda Place Card Holders 2.  Buddha hand  3. Custom Neon Letter 4. Brass Pyramid Candleholders 5. Kelly Wearstler Dishes for Pickard  6. Black Lace by the yard 7.
