100 is finally here!

Dear readers:
It´s my 100th post and I´d like to thank you all for being such good readers!
On my last post I received a comment, a person that maybe was trying to help. So she/he gave me a few advises and I´d like to thank her/him.
I know that as a blogger, not everyone will like everything I do. We all have some common interests (Sofia Coppola! Audrey Hepburn! pink!... anyone?) and let me admit ot, at first I took it as an insult but then, I realised that everything she/he said was right!: Dr. Harry Higgins would completely disaprove my ortography and gramatics (I can almost hear him say "You disgrace the noble structure of these columns" or "she´s deliciously low, so horribly dirty" :O), sure that I am aaaalways complaining, and the last hurtful truth: my blog is as monothematic as a monothematic blog can get to be.

It must take a lot of patience to hear me constantly bitching around, so in order to make my 100th post a new beginning, I´d like to promise (cross my heart and kiss my elbow!) that I will try to follow this advises, and any other advise that you´d like to give me, so I can get to be as good blogger and writer as I can ever get to be! And I hope that I make many hundreds of wonderful posts more and that I get a little bit better with each one :D as somebody said: Rome was not built on one day.

Well, I can start on my 101st post ;) for now let me enjoy one last post of the things that I like the most! 100 is an important number!

Now... Good night and good luck!

(Although it is 12:00 pm here ;)

Santa Baby!

 

 

Joyeaux Nöel!I wish you all the best!

You can find the rest of the editorial here. I´m trying to keep my blog children friendly ;)

Now, a little narration of the Christmas insanenesss:

You know what`s reaaally difficult? Finding a spol on the parking lot of a mall on December 23rd.

You know what`s even worst? Doing the same thing on December 24th.

After a few sessiohhns of the parking ticket mashine telling us to be patient and wait because the lot is full (she won`t even give us a ticket! is that even possible? ), we cannot get in because the whole place is packed, then the car in the convenient spot right in front of us, with a the machine`s bar in between, leaves, desesperation, lot`s of yelling, insulting then praying and then, oh! there it is...*Requieñm for a Dream sounding* trying to get there, before the other cars notice, big nooooooooooooo, NOW, WHO`S THE BOSS?!

Thinking about it well, the 80s weren´t that hooorrible.
Is it me or editor´s feel like reviving the ghastliest trends ever?

I´m not so much against the decade, as I am against the shoulder pads and neon colors that stylist are trying to forcefully put into our refusing systems.
If you are going to do that, at least bring on the good things, like supermodels!

Goddesses or demons, artists or temperamental psychos; there is no doubt that they posessed the poise, the self-concious way of carrying themselves, the spoiled manners but overall, the savoir faire.

I am not saying that the Agynesses and Cocos of our generations do not have personality, cause personality they don´t lack at all. Maybe, we should blame the designers, that in an attempt to standarize the modeling industry, they took away it´s quality and brought on quantity.
Just skip straight to @1:05 to see what I mean:



Oh I looove Ines!
And so there lies the difference between a model and a supermodel:
model: *walking stick*
supermodel: *little turn then sashay!*
model: *bored stare into nothing*
supermodel: *playful smile, wink*

Supermodels (like Miss de la Fressange) can make a fashion show seems more like a perfume ad, which makes me want to desperately buy whatever sack of potatoes she´s wearing ;)

Breakfast at Tiffany´s- The Play

Right as you heard, there is an actual play!

Trying to play the same role that Audrey turned into iconic without getting crucifixed is pretty difficult per se (you tell Jennifer Love-Hewitt). But even more than that: getting good reviews while doing it... it´s just outstanding!

The best part of it all is that Anna Friel doesn´t try to imitate Audrey Hepburn´s personification of Holly Golightly at all! Any person who has read the book knows what I mean: Even though, the book and the movie are very similar, and that the dialogs contain some literal parts from the book. The content, the ending and especially, the message are completely distinct. And that´s what Anna does: translate the vision of what Truman Capote truly intended it to be.

What Audrey did to Holly was neutralizing her sluttiness with that lovely regal charm, beauty and poise proper of herself. And I must say that it was for the best!

 

  

 

As you can see, the costumes are very 40s and Fred is gay, just as in the book!
By press reviews and screencaps, I can tell that it is pretty great ;)

Life is Good Again

I think I should thank you alll for your kindness: it´s really nice of you all to bear that sort of whiny, emo-ness and your advises where all so helpful!
So I prepared something special!... Well, maybe not that much special. I´m saving all the adorable pictures for my 100th post (which is only 4 posts away, yay!) and so the countdown begins...

But for know...

 

 

 

Oh! I almost forgot: the other day I woke up and I realizaed that I hated my gadgets (I just can´t bear to have the same header/gadget too long) so I erased the other ones and made some new ones.
So, let me present you my new gadgets. I wanted them to be iconic to the things I love:

James Dean

He canalizes all that teenage angst and makes it of his own.

Besides, he´s hot!

From a beautiful editorial from USA Vogue called "French Open".

Photographed by Arthur Elgort and stylized by Grace Coddington.

It is all so parisienne! And it represents that.

Daring, darling Holly!

Don´t you looove the colors on this one? That´s my favorite part.

Miss Dior Chérie, Sofia Coppola.

The design of the room is très élégante!

(I bet I got it right)

That movie has got the everything:

Paris, ballet, pretty clothes, 60s AND Brad Pitt on a sail boat!

Marie Antoinette and more Sofia Coppola.

Besides, isn´t this picture cute?

 

Annie Hall.

She´s got the style, the looks and the kooky personality!

Coco Chanel.

Because for her "a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous"!

The Notebook. Only because this screencap rocks!

from My wonderland

And more Sofia Coppola in Paris.

Speaking about Sofia!

Here´s the first picture from Somewhere, so excited about it!

It´s not that pretty, but at least is a start!

Paulina Porizkova and the Apocalypse all over again! (YES, I´m being dramatic)

 

 

 

 

 

Loving Paulina Porizkova... she seems to wear all the 80s clothes I do not hate!
It´s like Paulina´s way to say: "This is why am hot!"
Also hating History... which is unusual on me.
After having to study for Universal History´s trimestral, I think my brain will neeeever be quiet the same D:
I LITERALLY got hysterics before the exam: started to laugh manically to the point that my professor was worrying over the fact that I may  be having an attack.

Do not worry! At the end, things went out pretty well. Even my sanity.

PS: I usually don´t worry about grades THAT much! Not even too much.

Let me repeat: I AM a sane person, all right?... sort of...
