After all this time, I finally created a blog post about the film that inspired the name of my blog: "What a Way to Go!" starring Shirley MacLaine.

When Hollywood Imitated Mink: Shirley MacLaine’s Pink Extravaganza

Shirley MacLaine and Robert Mitchum shine in What a Way to Go! (1964) during the lavish “Imitation of Mink” sequence—a satire of wealth, love & luxury.

Imitation of Mink
"Introduced on Valentine’s Day 1975, Pan American World Airways' new mix-and-match uniform was designed by multiple Academy Award-winning costumer Edith Head (1897–1981). This versatile uniform in polyester consists of a long-line cardigan-style jacket. Worn until 1980, it offered a slacks option, as well as a tunic with long sleeve blouse. Head incorporated Pan Am’s Universe Design motif seen on the belt buckle, scarf, and in the top-stitching on the felt slouch hat designed by Frank Olive (1929–1995).
