THE CAFTAN WOMAN BLOGATHON

Today we celebrate our friend and fellow classic film (and more) blogger, Patricia Nolan-Hall aka/Paddy, Paddy Lee - and Caftan Woman, the name of her award-winning blog. When Paddy left us on March 7th, we lost one of classic film's most passionate champions and finest, most devoted bloggers. She was also conscientiously supportive of other bloggers and an avid participant in just about any/all classic film/TV/popular culture blogathons that came along.  And so, we have chosen to join together and honor Paddy with a blogathon of her own, The Caftan Woman Blogathon - Honoring Patricia Nolan-Hall.

Below are listed participating blogs and their subjects. Please visit them all! And please make sure to visit Paddy's blog here.

  12. For one last tribute, as the sports guy, I'm doing something sports teams do when they lose a legend. At least until the end of this year, on the main logo for Dubsism there will be a small black patch with the letters "CW" for Caftan Woman.
