Hey guys, it’s your boy back at it again with another story to tell. Today, I wanna talk about something that seems kinda random, but trust me, it was a whole adventure. So, I recently dug into this thing called “Calendar Girl Ruth Finley 123.” Now, I know it sounds like the title of a movie or something, but it’s actually about this lady, Ruth Finley, who was a big deal in the fashion world.
First off, let me tell you, getting into this was like opening a can of worms. I started with the basics, just Googling the name, trying to figure out what the “123” was all about. Turns out, it wasn’t some secret code or anything, just part of the whole search term I guess. Anyway, I found out that Ruth Finley was the brains behind the Fashion Calendar, this pink schedule thingy that basically ran the New York fashion scene for decades.
- I spent a good chunk of time reading articles and watching some documentary clips.
- It was kinda cool to see how this one lady had such a huge impact on an entire industry.
- And the pink calendar? Apparently, it was pink so people could easily spot it on their desks. Smart, right?
So, I got hooked. I went down this rabbit hole, looking up all sorts of stuff about her. I even checked out some social media profiles – found one with 593 followers, following 1,927, which I thought was interesting. It’s always fascinating to see those numbers, you know? Anyway, the documentary I watched, also called “Calendar Girl,” showed how Ruth was this tiny, smiley dynamo who ran the show. It was directed by some guy named Christian D. Bruun. The film showed her getting ready to transfer the calendar in 2014, which was a big deal because she eventually sold it when she was 95. That marked the end of an era, for sure.
Diving Deeper
I wanted to know more, so I kept digging. I found out that the premiere of this documentary was on a Friday night. I thought, “Friday night? That’s an odd choice for a premiere.” But hey, maybe that’s how they do things in the fashion world. Different strokes for different folks, right? Then I discovered you could actually stream the documentary by renting or buying it on places like Apple TV or Google Play Movies. I didn’t end up watching the whole thing there, but it was cool to know it was an option.
The whole thing was a trip. It showed me this whole other world I knew nothing about. Ruth Finley, this legend in fashion, was out there making things happen behind the scenes, and most of us had no idea. It just goes to show, there are so many interesting stories out there if you just take the time to look. I was reading about all of the unglamorous stuff, that normal people don’t see, behind the scenes.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure with “Calendar Girl Ruth Finley 123.” Hope you guys found it as interesting as I did. Let me know what you think, and if you’ve got any other random things for me to explore, hit me up! Catch you all in the next one!
