Skipped over favourite food as I didn't get a chance to post anything on Monday. Also as a vegetarian who can't cook and lives at home so doesn't have to, my opinions on food are reeeeeally dull. I hate mushrooms and large chunks of tomato, after that it's aaaalll gooood.

Anyway, little me:

I'm the little girl, not the boy surprise surprise, about 3 years old. Started accessorising early me.

 I'm the little tiger, about 3 again. Does anyone have absolutely any idea what my sister can possibly have asked to be painted as?! If it was the devil, that must have been one scared party entertainer...

In slightly more recent times; I had a lovely day. Went shopping with my mum (because I'm that rock and roll) and out to a gig some friends of mine were playing this evening. Got dressed up twice and not a single picture... you can tell I'm new to this blogging lark ;) 

That's all folks!

Neutral Tones.

shirt: All Saints
t-shirt: Urban Outfitters
necklace + shoes: Topshop
belt: vintage
socks: M&S

I like having a nosy look at what people wear so thought I’d start joining in. Really not good quality pictures, lost the usb lead for my dslr L so these are mostly done on my rubbishy webcam and little nikon. Also broke my tripod, so only have a mini one at the minute. Shocking lack of organisation!

Pretty much everyone likes songs with their name in... "elenore gee i think you're swell" aww thankyou The Turtles, I think you're swell too.

The song I've probably had the most good times to is Patrick Wolf, The Magic Position. Nearly got myself killed a few times at his gigs in the crush; worth it for the crazy dancing and happiness.

Never Mind...

Week into the holidays and I've not actually started any revision apart from writing 3 titles for posters. I've actually no idea what I, king of all procrastinators, was thinking with taking so many flipping a-levels. They're really hard, who knew?
Instead I've been working my way through a load of films on my laptop that my sister gave me. I just watched Suddenly, Last Summer and loved it apart from some of Katharine Hepburn's speeches which seemed a bit overly-consciously weird to me. Elizabeth Taylor though is genuinely hypnotic to watch, considering that I don't honestly like her that much, detracting my attention away from Montgomery Clift and his permanently upset and confused facial expressions is no mean feat.

Haha about 99% of the photos on google images are of her white swimsuit which she talks about going completely see-through. Shocker.

All That Is Good, Brought Together

God knows I'd sell everything I own to look like Mia Farrow. To be Mia hanging out with my husband Frank Sinatra at Truman Capote's party, wearing this ridiculously beautiful dress, is just too much amazing for me to even dream about.

I'm a bit of a film geek and would happily list about 1200 films I love. But in all honesty the film I've loved the longest and the most is The Secret Garden. As a disturbingly pale, often slightly serious looking child, it couldn't not strike a chord. Mary Lennox's wardrobe with Colin Craven's lifestyle ("I have spoken, all depart!") is pretty much the life ambition.

The rest of my current Top 10 would probably be: Maurice, A Matter of Life and Death, The 39 Steps, The Apartment, It Happened One Night, I Know Where I'm Going, Billy Liar, The Misfits and The Collector.
