I'm back!

I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and getting a tumblr.......  since I use this blog mainly to post pictures and rarely write things. Plus, tumblrs have a better look. It feels slightly treacherous to leave blogspot behind though, seeing as we go waaay back. I'll look into it. Regardless if I do switch over, I'll be blogging the exact same kind of thing, so make sure to 'follow' the new me! X

R.I.P Elizabeth Taylor

Today I was genuinely saddened to learn of the passing of one of my ultimate heroines, Dame Elizabeth Taylor. I'm spending the night watching Giant and Butterfield 8 and wishing there were more hours in the day so that I could add Suddenly Last Summer, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Place in the Sun and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to my movie marathon. But a girl's got to sleep. Here's a collection of some of my favourite images of Liz...

Baby Liz!

Butterfield 8

It's important that Elizabeth is remembered not only as one of the most beautiful women of all time, but as a great talent and a generous and loyal philanthropist particularly with regard to her tireless support of gay rights and AIDS charities.

Butterfield 8

I'm obsessed with the powdery blues, golds and peachy pinks throughout this film. It's how I wish my flat (and my life) could be.

Get Well Soon Liz!

 

Wishing the great Elizabeth Taylor a speedy recovery, she is one of my all-time idols and one of the only true stars we have left.

Oh Chloe...

That hat is on my hitlist.

Muffy

I wish to fuck I looked like Liz Renay.

Black Swan

Just got back from seeing Black Swan at the GFT. My thoughts, when I was able to formulate some after shrieking like a madwoman at Aronofsky's insane (and over the top) jumpy bits, were mainly about:

- Natalie Portman's incredible Black/White Swan make-up.... and how I hope Pixiwoo do a tutorial soon.

- Natalie Portman's incredible ballet body. Apparently she lost 20 lbs training for the part. How the hell did she even have 20 lbs going spare?? I, on the other hand, need to book some dance classes A.S.A.P.

I'm a sucker for bony shoulders and collarbones.

As the 'virginal' White Swan.

Portman succeeding in making 'Madonna arms' desirable.

Reckon we'll be seeing a trend in feathered headwear?

Finally, the gorgeous movie poster...

...and she's never looked better!
