A Supremes Morning in a Kimono Robe




It's the beginning of a long weekend and time to celebrate. I hope the video attached from "Slaves of New York" gets you all in the mood.


Yes, I am still on the Slaves of New York band wagon...


The story behind this clip is that it wasn't in the script... it actually happened during shooting. The performers were asked to rehearse and return in the morning as part of the scene!


I love Eleanor's robe as seen in this video... must put a similar oriental kimono robe on my "want" list... 


Also, a little obsessed with the one Melanie Laurent wears in "Beginners".

Beginning...Again

My new “hair crush” is Melanie Laurent’s character from the Mike Mills' film Beginners”. She has a little side parted fringe and that messy French out-of-bed thing going on.  I must admit I've been trying to emulate it. (I followed my post-break up advice and just opted for bangs rather than lopping it all off in a fit of despair).

(my jowly portrait of Melanie Laurent!)

I really love "Beginners" – from the interiors (lots of plants!), the cinematography, Ewan McGregor and, of course, the beautiful little dog.

McGregor's character, Oliver, reminds me of the type of beau that I should really be going for. However, I must remember that it is a movie, it is fictional, it is NOT REAL!

B and I made a list of the characteristics we would like our potential partners to have – from personality right down to the type of shoes they would wear. Now, for some reason I kept mentioning corduroys … I really don’t know any men that wear corduroy trousers but I added this to my “perfect beau” list. 

I'd like to think that Ewan McGregor’s character, Oliver, would have a pair of corduroy trousers in his wardrobe.

So in the spirit of “Beginners” I’ve attached some photos I have taken inspired by this wonderful film (minus the cords).
