Born - Womens - Gertrude
$102.00

Love this shoe! I have "Gertrude" in both brown and grey and wear one or the other of them 3 or 4 days each week. They are my 'go to' shoes when I need to dress up jeans just that little bit because they provide all day comfort along with wonderful good looks. The heel height is perfect and with longer pants they give the look of a boot. I love the slight shading around the toe of the shoe that gives it a bit of an aged look.

I wear a 7 or 7.5; I always try on both when shopping. In this one, I went with the 7.5, so if you, like me, hover between two sizes, you might want to order the larger first.

Born makes quality shoes that hold up well even in Wisconsin's salt-on-the-sidewalk winters and stay new looking for ages. Recommended!

Biograph Shorts: Griffith Masterworks
$29.95
(At least some of them!) As we are informed, DW Griffith was an actor in early films then with The Adventures of Dollie, became quite a prolific director, averaging 2-3 shorts per week. The films are quite good and quite interesting. As we know from DW Griffith, his films have a high moral tone to them and are almost exclusively about good vs. evil. Many have high adventures such as Dollie getting trapped in a barrel and surviving going over some waterfalls or an attack by Indians in the Battle of Elderbush Gulch. All that practice must have inspired DW Griffith to try the first American feature film over an hour, A Birth of a Nation based on The Klansman. The movies here are well restored and extreme care was taken in putting this contemplation together. I really enjoyed the musical scores. I have stereo speakers above my TV and the music is just beautiful and perfect for the films presented. Very nice.
