Ghost Protocol

We took the opportunity several weeks ago to go see "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol". It was soooo cool! Especially the above scene where Tom Cruise was running around on the outside of a building with a huge duststorm approaching. If you haven't had the chance, make sure to see it.

Doesn't Paula Patton look absolutely stunning in this emerald evening gown???

I don't even know if "Ghost Protocol" is still in the theatres but even if it isn't, see it when it comes out on DVD - you'll be glad you did.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

If you haven't had the chance to go see it yet, I highly suggest that you go see "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". It is action-packed - so much so that I needed to "talk to a man about a horse" but I didn't want to leave because I was afraid I'd miss something. It was a really intense movie. Extremely well done. I've never read the book but The Thespian says that it follows the book very closely (unlike alot of other movies - The Devil Wears Prada . . . I'm looking at you!) Plus, it has Daniel Craig in it. It's a strange pairing but I honestly don't believe that anyone else would have worked in that role. And I'd probably see anything that had Daniel Craig in it!

Rooney Mara looked completely bizarre with her bleached out eyebrows, assymetrical haircut and many piercings. She is a committed actress though. Most of her piercings are real and she had them done specifically for the movie. She also left them in to continue work on the next 2 movies. The picture below on the left is what she looks like when she's "normal". I don't think that I'd be willing to go through that kind of pain for a movie role. But it might be worth it to be able to have a relationship with Daniel Craig!

Just a word of caution: It is NOT a good movie for kids AT ALL as there are scenes that are extremely graphic, including intense scenes of torture and rape.

He had nice buns!

Over the weekend, I purchased several movies, one of which was "An American in Paris". This movie stars Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron.





IT WAS AMAZING!!!






Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron are the most amazing dancers. This movie has made me want to take dance lessons.

This was Leslie Caron's first movie. When I called to tell my Mom about the movie, she told me that Leslie Caron was well-known as a ballet dancer prior to this movie. She was so graceful and just lovely to watch. She is a very talented lady.


But Gene Kelly . . . aaaaahhhhh . . . Gene Kelly . . . what a nice butt! I mean it. That man's butt sent shivers down my spine. He was absolutely amazing to watch as he danced and I would watch him anyday over Fred Astaire. His style of dance was so much more energetic and much more interesting to watch. He was sooooo much better-looking than Fred Astaire. He was smoldering hot when he was younger. But his butt . . . It should have had its own movie. Maybe there should even be a memorial erected in his butt's honor!

I covet this bag

I want this Audreybag so bad. Unfortunately, it is way out of my budget. It goes for $725. I know the money goes to a good cause but who has that kind of money, even for charity?!



There are several other designs and images offered for the Audreybag. This just happened to be my favorite out of all of them.

But there are some options that they need to consider adding. First, pink trim should be one of the color options. In most of her movies, you notice that she wore alot of black, white and pink.

The second set of options that need to be available is different images from some of her more famous movies. For instance, just about any image from "Breakfast at Tiffany's", images from the dance sequence from "Funny Face" or even Audrey in her white hat & sunglasses from "How to Steal a Million".

The last set of options that I would add would be rhinestone or pearl trim. Since (in my opinion) her most famous movie is "Breakfast at Tiffany's", jewelry-related trim should be available. The pearl trim should be an option because she felt, in the movie, that diamonds would be too tacky on her.

If Sean Ferrer is actually reading this, feel free to use my ideas!

If I could pick a stylist, it would be . . .

PATRICIA FIELD ! ! !
(Patricia Field is on the right in this picture, obviously)

Patricia Field is the costume designer for such movies as "Sex & the City", "Sex & the City 2", "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic". She is also the costume designer for such television shows as "Ugly Betty" and "Sex & the City" (the series).

When it comes to movies and television shows that have amazing style, all of the above are at the top of my list.

But Patricia Field also has her own designs. I just went to her website and checked it out. Some of her designs are way over the top but some things just have that extra something. (I LOVE clothing and accessories that have some sort of special detail that make them unique.)


This is just a little something that I threw together for my other older sister, La Hairdresser, from the Patricia Field website. I think she would look so amazing in this outfit.

The black diamond earrings elongate the neck. The one-shoulder jumpsuit is modern yet still sexy and sophisticated. The hot pink glittery pumps add just a pop of color. I think this would be a great date outfit for a smoky, sexy jazz club.

Stay tuned for other outfits that I have come up with, using Patricia Field designs!

Edith Head was a genius!

Edith Head may not have looked like she had much fashion sense herself but that woman was a genius! I would have to say that she was the best costume designer to ever live. I watch alot of old movies. I love them. I adore them. I especially like to watch any old movies with Audrey Hepburn or Doris Day. I always watch the opening credits (they're always at the beginning instead of the end on old movies) to see if Edith Head did the costumes. If she did, they will always be guaranteed to be amazing!

I soooooo wanted to be Andie Walsh!

When I was younger (and even periodically now) I sooooooo wanted to be Andie Walsh from "Pretty in Pink". How could you not?! She had the most amazing red hair and wardrobe. She had individual style and the confidence to pull it off. She was so talented. She had such style, such flair. I wanted to be her. I wanted the hair, the wardrobe but most especially, her little pink car with the dent in the side.


She had very stylish classic sweaters . . .










She knew how to work an ensemble . . .




















Even her bath robe was stylish . . .



But, of course, most amazing was that she designed and produced her own incredible Prom dress . . .



And her hair . . . !



I just wanted to be her . . . I just wanted to be Andie.
