If you're going to be in southern California over the holidays, you may want to take in the costume exhibit:
Hollywood Costume, on now through March 2, 2015 at the Academy Museum in the historic May Company building at the corner of Fairfax and Wilshire. They don't permit photos, so this video will have to say it all, and don't miss the
website, which has lots of little tidbits about this show that originated at the Victoria and Albert Museum and now includes over 150 costumes in its final exhibition showing.
