Casting

For my screenwriting class, to help us develop our characters, our teacher told us to cast the lead so we have a visual to reference. My character is a 75 year old woman...you have no idea how hard it is to find actresses that age who do not look like aliens due to one face lift too many, but I found a couple classy ladies here :)











I'm really feeling Shirley Jones, her older movies are fantastic, but she hasn't done anything too serious lately, just a light hearted tv show here or there. Vanessa Redgrave is great too, I love the movies and tv shows she has been in recently. So now, Gale, my character, has a name and a face to put it to...or at least, at the moment, two ;)

Things that made me fall in love with Fashion

Funny Face ;)
THINK PINK!

Here's a video of the song

101 Dalmatians

That section in the fashion house....I drew a million sketches after watching that movie...of course, not with dog's fur :P

Star Wars

While I think the new movies paled in comparison to the classics (yes, I went there...TRL, I am a Star Wars Nerd) and Carrie Fisher's Princess Lea>Natalie Portman's Padme, I will forever remember sitting in the movie theater and gasping over Queen Amidala's outfits...oh yeah, and then I got an encyclopedia about clothing in my hands and found out some of her looks were copied from ancient Asian royalty. I was especially proud of myself when I found out that :P

Breakfast at Tiffany's

I'm so so sorry, this is so so cliche and I feel like every single girl in the world has at one point referenced Breakfast at Tiffany's, especially at Fashion school- it's like The Red Shoes is to dancers- but anyhow, anyone who knows me and has been in my room has seen my countless Audrey photos and knows I pretty much adore her, so I guess it's ok...well, at least pathetic. ANYWAY, it REALLY started when I saw this movie. I was a junior in high school and after this, I started believing sophistication trumps fast fashion. This is the movie that made me want to live in New York City, this is the movie that made me want to write movies, this was the movie that started it all.

Sabrina

After seeing "Breakfast at Tiffany's" I watched other Audrey movies, one being Sabrina. That made me get my hair cut short. BIG mistake, but life moves on.

What has inspired you?

A kiss may be grand....







I apologize for all these "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" references... maybe it's the holidays, maybe it's Marilyn, but I've been loving all versions of the song. Marilyn Monroe version? done
Moulin Rouge version? done and done
Beyonce version? Why not.
lovelovelove.

btw click on the italics above for videos! :)

Fred and Ginger


The other night I was watching a movie starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers...it kind of makes me want to find someone to spontaneously dance and sing with! :O
This is the movie we saw..."The Barkleys of Broadway!" This was Fred and Ginger's last movie together!
I love how they float through the air! fancy footwork right there!
