Girls on Film.


Or, Girls in Flight. Deviating from our usual medium of inspiration, our current lady of the hour is an aviatrix rather than an actress. 

Most young girls, and women too, undoubtably go through an Amelia Earhart phase. She remains a rara avis inspiring awe in those who hear her story for the first time even today, over one hundred years after her birth. Her mysterious disappearance in the air over the Pacific and her maverick approach of the frontier itself (can we have that word back yet, Sarah Palin?) have created an aura of romance and wonder around her iconic person that no progression of time can erase. Not to mention her style. Her timeless, genderless, effortless, perfect style.
