An ultra chic and highly coveted Christian Dior haute couture museum-quality ivory checkered silk pleated mini dress dating back to spring/summer 1968. This incredible work of wearable art was a custom made commission while Marc Bohan was creative director at Dior. As shown, we were thrilled to also find the original French documented editorial showcasing this gorgeous garment. The dress is fashioned in a luxurious mid-weight ivory silk with the most magnificent checkered pattern. The mock turtleneck bodice has long slight-billow sleeves with original pearl cufflinks. My favorite design element is the gold metal trimmed thin waist belt which is so figure flattering.  The pleated mini skirt adds such beautiful texture and looks sensational with movement. This important piece of fashion history would make an unforgettable red carpet or bridal look.

This extraordinary 1968 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan numbered haute couture custom made dress is in beautiful condition with no rips, holes or alternations. The garment closes with original back French éclair metal zipper. The inside is immaculate and all hand-finished. Only sign of age are a few very faint marks which are not noticeable when worn. Please message for detailed pictures. Highly wearable and an investment piece that will continue to increase in value. In 2009, the Dior Museum in Granville put on a show, 'Dior: The Bohan Years,' which featured looks from Bohan’s nearly 30-year career at Dior, including many he created for Princess Grace. In 2018, Assouline published a book by Jerome Hanover, 'Bohan’s Dior: 1961 to 1989.' where he explains, "you see Bohan everywhere. You see [his work] in Prada, Raf Simons, Hermès. I think it will help fashion to remember that Marc Bohan really designed the ’60s.”

"I ordered Christian fairy tales on the internet and they sent me Hans Christian Andersen ones by mistake!"---Ned Flanders
Format: Paperback
As was first done with "Simpsons Comics Hit The Road," "Simpsons Comics Get Some Fancy Book Learnin'" actually follows the theme of the title and cover art. All the comics have the Simpsons characters portraying figures in literature from Greek Mythology to Shakespeare. The longer comics are very well done but some of the shorter ones at the end fall flat. Still, I enjoyed this change of pace from the usual Simpsons comics. It offers a very clever use of characters. "Greek To Me"--Homer plays, well, Homer (the Greek poet) who tells four stories to a gathering of children. The first is "The Labors of Hercules" with Bart as Hercules. He only completed 10, but hey, 10 out of 12 is a B+ which is the best grade Bart ever got. In the second story, Homer is Hades who abducts Marge...er, Persephone...and is taken to court over it. In the third story, Selma is Medusa and Perseus (Bart) has to cut of her head or face 100 years detention. Finally, Homer tells a string of Aesop's Fables like "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and--my favorite--"The Ant and the Grasshopper" where Homer is the grasshopper and Flanders is a hilarious-looking ant! There are a lot of clever lines in this one, especially Barney as Oedipus. "Pandora, Jr."--A 5-page comic with Lisa explaining the story of Pandora's Box to Maggie. Maggie doesn't learn the lesson. Fairy Tales--Ralph plays Humpty Dumpty in a 2-page short, then there are a string of Hans Christian Andersen tales that Lisa saves from the Flanders's book burning BBQ. Lisa reads the stories to Rod and Tod. There is "The Little Mermaid", "The Prince and the Pea" (featuring Smithers and Mr. Burns), "The Shadow" (featuring the Comic Book Guy), "Thumbelina", and "The Story of a Mother." My favorite is "The Ugly Duckling." I like the scene where Marge the swan takes in the ugly duckling Bart saying, "It's not like I haven't compromised before," while watching a fat Homer swan swigging beer and burping. Arabian Tales--Dunyazad (Marge) tells King Shahryar (Moe) stories to keep from being put to death. The first one is the best. Ned Flanders is Aladdin who finds a lamp containing an incompetent genie (Homer). His wishes grant him an all-you-can-eat buffet and go-go bar and an angry wife Maude brought from the dead in skeleton form. The other stories are "Apu Baba and the Four Thieves" and "Sinbart The Sailor." Shakespeare--Plays parodied are "Antony and Cleopatra," "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," "Romeo and Juliet," "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "Richard III," "Titus Andronicus" (in Itchy and Scratchy cartoon form), and "King Lear." Most of these, in terms of punch lines, are pretty weak. Bible Stories--Bart tells Rod and Tod some Bible stories to calm them down after they find out Sunday School is canceled. The stories parodied are "The Prodigal Son," "Abraham's Sacrifice," and "Noah's Ark." These comics were, on the whole, funnier than the Shakespeare ones.

An enjoyable Simpson Comic
Format: Paperback
Now this is a fun book. It largely uses the same tv formula of irreverent humor to poke fun at the classics. The Simpsons and their extended family in Springfield play all the roles to perfection. The only thing that stops me from giving this a 5 star rating is that there are too many stories and they all seem slightly short and episodic.

A great way to introduce the classics to your kid
Format: Paperback
I mean it. It's very funny, yet introduces a number of important stories and characters from greek mythology and the Bible right though to Shakespeare. Will be funnier when my son reads the actual stories these are based on. A whole lotta compare and contrast will ensue, I imagine. I think it will pique his interest in the classics.

Love it! Had this when I was younger and the nostalgia felt great while flipping through the pages. Also the sellers put the book in resealable protective bag which was awesome.
