Tres Jolie

I have rediscovered the elegance of Chanel.



And this is what my fairytale life will be.

Quotables

You know those movies and moments you just always seem to use in real life? Just those 2 lines that come up, and then you look around the room to see who else caught them. I love that. Movie quotes are my favorite.
I just had to give a presentation in my film and literature class, and so quotes came up. That seems to be one of the most quotable movies of all time:



And then I got to thinking about some of the other scenes my family often references...




There are literally hundreds. But every time I hear someone reference a line I know, I feel a little...connected. Familiar. I guess that's what I love. Its like an instantaneous bond.

Here's to bonds.

Fashion update

and maybe I'm going absolutely crazy, but I think Rihanna has been looking fabulous lately. I love her red hair and her strange glamour:

Until The End Of Time

Oh for the melancholy...




This is the song that I've grown up with, that me and my siblings used to sing all the words to and take turns with the parts. I only recently watched the movie in all its emotional magnificence.



This is Moulin Rouge. Overdramatic, ridiculous, but absolutely gorgeous.


I don't know why Ewan didn't become a singer...his voice is unbelievable.

Taken

Today, what I think is beautiful is being carried away. Carried away by bike or carousel, I don't care, but to be carried. Taken away from the time and present and pressing and off---elsewhere. Lean back, eyes closed, taken on by the whirl that is ever so pleasantly just beyond your control.

Scrumptious as a cherry-peach parfait

I really was only going to post the first video...but I got carried away with it and I really couldn't not post one of these scenes, they're all too wonderful.

I used to watch this movie with my dad when I was a little girl (we fast-forwarded the scenes with the creepy child catcher). It has lost absolutely none of its magic for me.

she's counting the diamonds on rings..

Tap dancer instead of a drummer?
Meet Tilly and the Wall.

I don't know how I just recently learned about these guys...they're excellent!




honestly, the way the tapper moves her arms i find really irritating...but the girl with pink lips and white/silver hair is my latest crush.
