Join me for an exclusive tour of the incredible exhibition, “Edith Head: Hollywood’s Costume Designer,” now open at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA). This is a one-of-a-kind experience that you won’t find anywhere else! I’m thrilled to have Catherine Shotick, the guest curator of this highly anticipated exhibition, with me.
In this video, Catherine and I explore the fascinating career of Edith Head, the legendary eight-time Oscar®-winning costume designer. We’ll dive into her iconic sketches, view screening areas, and marvel at 70 original costumes. The exhibition takes over the Museum’s third-floor galleries, showcasing Head’s influence at Paramount and Universal Studios’ costume departments. As we tour, Catherine shares insights into the costumes, the film industry of that era, and the actors who wore these iconic outfits.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Hollywood history. The OKCMOA has made the exhibition even more accessible with QR codes that provide English and Spanish audio descriptions, as well as visual descriptions of select costumes. Remember, this exhibition is exclusive to Oklahoma City and won’t be traveling elsewhere, so make sure to visit often and take your time experiencing everything it has to offer.

I filmed the first season of Yes! Science! with Pallas in 2019. Last year, I re-edited the show to add graphics, better pacing, segment breaks, and new science facts. This was released exclusively on The Show Starts Now streaming library, and now I’m bringing them to Spielventure. I’ll be releasing more of the revised episodes throughout the summer, so stay tuned!
I traveled the stretch of Route 66 from Arcadia to Bristow with Caitlin from Oklahoma’s Credit Union. This Spielventure episode features POPS, the Arcadia Round Barn, John’s Place, Manvel Avenue Coffee, Destinations, Route 66 Interpretive Center, Route 66 Bowl, and Dude & Dot Mercantile. We spent an entire day visiting sights from the area between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and there was still more to see, so make this trip a full-day experience.
I’m excited to release the first episode with the new branding style. I’m still figuring out what the next Spielventure episode will be as I’ve been busy with client work. Do expect an episode of “Yes! Science!” and a new Art & Victory to be coming out next.

With The Show Starts Now video library app shut down, I’ll be releasing content from the platform on my YouTube channel throughout the summer.

There are some new perks that I can only do there, such as discounts on merch and access to the sticker club. I’ll still make posts here in the meantime.
