So you are right that Emma and John perhaps do not deserve full credit for their handsome wardrobe. Although I hasten to add that not all of the characters in the episodes look so spiffy! Many even look dowdy, so at least there is a contrast class... <br /><br />I, too, would love to determine the perfumes worn by the most intriguing characters on film. There are occasionally clues, but in the end we are usually left guessing...sherapophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116821928196122529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106815346229702986.post-25362147342879057772013-04-01T16:33:19.030-07:002013-04-01T16:33:19.030-07:00Dear Shera

From the deliberate contrariness of Doctor Who's costume to the clear lines of The Prisoner, from The Saint's sharp cuts suits to Lady Penelope's insane glamour, our screens were awash with stylishly apported people and puppets.<br /><br />I wonder how many of them it might be possible to pin a perfume or perfume itself on?<br /><br />What a question you have posed dear Shera, if only our duo wre on hand to solve it for us.<br /><br />Yours ever<br />The Perfumed Dandytheperfumeddandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826475345009599846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106815346229702986.post-73759424705727549622013-03-31T08:56:44.569-07:002013-03-31T08:56:44.569-07:00Thank you so much, Couture Guru.

I never had the opportunity of seeing any of the Avengers, but did grow up with the New Avengers in the early 80's ... which made Joanna Lumley and her character Purdy a household name down here :). If memory serves, Steed was played by the very same Patrick Macnee ...
