Dancing Queen

Yummy Delicious Costumes

I love movies.  Like books, I love getting lost in them.

I watched Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette the other night.  I could watch it over and over and over and over.  The movie as a whole was ok, kind of boring, except.  Except for the overall Art Direction.  BRILLIANT!!!!  Eye candy.  Totally.  And as a lover of fashion, the costumes were just breathtaking.  The colors, the fabrics, the sets, the jewelry, the shoes (did you catch the pink converse?), the hair, and even the food.  I just drank it all up.  In fact, I want the DVD so I can pause over each scene and drink it in even more. The lighting was just perfect for all the colors and textures and fabrics.  The hair was delicious.  Makes me love rich pastel-ly fruity color combinations.

I found this wonderful site: The Costumes of Marie Antoinette | The Movies and the Woman, that can tell you more about the pictures and history of the costumes, and which costumes can be seen in other films.  Prepare to spend a few hours, it’s a great resource.

Iz’s New Favorite Song

All of us are humming or singing it, pretty much all day long.  Now, you too can hum it in the car, shower, grocery store.

Observation Day

Observation Day

Today was our first Observation Day at ballet class. Ballet started over a month ago, and I almost died when I learned that we couldn’t watch. It’s a good thing though, super great for her, learning some independence. Doing something on her own without mom and dad. It’s pretty cool. She’s not even 3 yet. Here’s just one video. There are many more minutes worth… enjoy!

While I Was Sleeping…

I’ve always wondered what my buttons are doing when I’m sleeping. Now I know. Too Cute!
