Exactly. It really is okay to change a costume around a little bit. If for no other reason than to keep it fresh. Clark himself is no stranger to this, and shouldn't be. It's good for him.
I do enjoy ordering Godfathers at restaurants. That drink hasn't been popular since the 50's, I believe, and no one ever knows what I'm talking about. Makes me seem far more educated in my liquors than I am.
Now *that* is a paper I'd like to read! I wouldn't have expected such a nerdy topic to be allowed for your dissertation?
And I gotta fix a mistake from my last post before a history buff catches it. I meant to say "Ottoman, Safavid, and

I'd guess that, back in the 40's, it was about making sure everyone knew Diana was properly "Westernized" despite her Greek heritage. Couldn't have the little kids thinking that another nation was as great as the U S of A after all (even if that nation was a fictional island of women no one could reach). Now its about showing Diana's culture off, because its no longer dangerous and strange, but exotic and exciting.
