Guest Classic Links: Kate Gabrielle of Scathingly Brilliant

Kate was one of the first classic film bloggers I ever followed, via her blog Silents and Talkies. She now pours much of her blogging energy into Scathingly Brilliant, a more personal blog in which she shares a new outfit every day, among other interests (she needs one of those big movie star dressing rooms for all those gorgeous dresses!) Kate is also a talented artist. She has drawn and painted classic movie stars, humorous takes on famous art and perhaps her best-known creations, the sassy, stylish flappers Ramona and Eloise. She also posts gorgeous, high-quality photos of classic stars on Classic Film Scans. One of her scans was even featured in a Fast Company post about Elizabeth Taylor. As if that isn't enough, she writes Dirk Bogarde tribute blog and contributes to the style blog Spiffy. Thanks for being a guest linker Kate!
