Well from this very obvious title, you may have guessed that I'm about to talk about Bewitched. No not the movie with Will Ferrel and Nicole Kidman that apparently stank on ice (according to Lorelai Gilmore) but the beloved classic television series. While I was browsing the DVD section of Target, I came across the deal of a lifetime: Bewitched seasons one and two for only twenty dollars. Woah now that's just crazy talk. Now I had never seen this show before. I think that's because as a kid my mom thought that witchcraft was evil and the devil and blah blah blah so i wasn't allowed to watch this show, be a witch for Halloween, etc. Actually as a kid, I saw the first Harry Potter movie and had to read the books. My mom was not to thrilled about this and said she would never allow those movies in her house but would allow me to read the books. Today, we own all of the movies and books and my mother is in love with the Harry Potter series. In fact, we plan to go to Harry Potter World this fall. So back to Bewitched. I first started the series thinking it was just a kids show about a witch. You know similar to Sabrina. It was in a way similar but honestly there was just something different about it. One thing I love about the show are the horrid special effects. Most of the times you can see the string carrying the magical floating object and any vanishing acts look a little off. These effects make me laugh as well as realize how far our world has come technologically. But that's a whole other story. No there was one attribute to this show that really stood out to me. You guessed it: the clothes. Samantha's (Elizabeth Montgomery) wardrobes completely reflects the vibe of the 60s. Her hair, beyond adorable jackets, and my favorite, her signature diamond heart necklace. She is so elegant and graceful and just everyone idea of the perfect wife/mother. The exact opposite of her mother, Endora (Agnes Moorehead. With her floor length purple dress, green shawl/cape, and up-to-the-brow bone blue eyeshadow, one could say Endora is the most eccentric character when it comes to dress. To me this show embodies the style of the 60s and will continue to be one of the most beloved television shows of all time. Before I post pretty picture that describe everything I just talked about, I want to say a few more things about the show itself. My favorite characters are definitely Abner and Gladys Kravitz. They are hysterical in my opinion. Gladys seems like such a nutcase to Abner even though she is exactly right. But I'm not a huge fan of Darren. Why won't he left Samantha use magic? I mean she's just going to do it anyway. And if I had powers I sure as heck would use them! So I'm currently in the middle of the second season and Darren and Samantha have just given birth to Tabitha. I'm excited about this new addition and she better be a witch. That would be hackin sweet. So I'm not very far along in the series so I don't know if there will be anymore fashion savvy characters popping up anytime soon. But obviously I'll be on the lookout. Oh and sorry for the lack of posts. I've been very busy. :)
