Bovine!






Hectic times, just finished a 48 hr film competition....redoing website and getting used to the summer.
I am sooo looking forward to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland film! I happen to have a major style crush on Helen Bonham Carter. I know, shocking!





I found this hiliarious site devoted to Helena. Here are a few of their "teachings!"

Be yourself.
Shed the corsets.
Don't give a damn about other people's thoughts.
Styling your hair into Mrs. Lovett's unique hair-dos, applying dark make-up and dancing around singing 'The Worst Pies in London' is perfectly normal for any Helenaist.
All good things come to those who can wait.
If you are British and royal, you might enjoy Royal Marine. (though ofcourse it tastes of where ever it's been)
Crucio your enemies (You have to mean it!)
Kill first. Ask questions later.
Being sent to Azkaban is cool.
Stick to priest.
Taking a whole bottle of xanax might be too much.
Candy-stripe a cancer ward, it's not your problem.
Before defeating a group of young teenage wizards in the department of mysteries, always be courteous enough to ask "how's mum and dad?"
Combs are superfluous.
Bovine is the greatest word in history.
Not knowing what plugholes are for is okay.
Multitasking is not a neccessity.
Having a bad memory isn't something to be ashamed of.
Using words like 'bovine' is nifty, especially when sleep-talking.
When ordering lawyer, you'd better have something else though to follow, since noone should swallow it twice.
It has to be grocer, it's green.
The trouble with poet is 'ow do you know it's deceased?
It's not lying when you simply forgot to mention she wasn't dead.
If one of your nostrils is larger than the other, that is okay.
You should strive to be a gay man at heart.
The worst co-stars are mechanical talking fish.
The best kind of whore is a musical whore.

thoughts....

gardenia's spilt from her lips. the heady fragrance crushed her tears and masked the silence. she stood. Poised. Ready to leap from her perch. Dusty rays of light reflected from mirrors. nothing was sacred.

ZAFTIG DAMES, have we got frocks for you!!!

Sublime vintage and modern frocks in 'plus sizes" (we loathe that word, hence our swanky switch to "zaftig dames") Come in and take a look as we have also added oodles of new frocks and frills.
Chi-Chi and the Greek

My favorite is the Abella Paris, wool shift! Check out the sleeves!!!!!

Seduction...

Studio 54, Tina Chow, Donna Summer, Mick and Bianca, Jerry and Bryan, Blondie, Opium perfume, Halston.....ahhhh I adore the mid 70's early 80's when it was all about eyeshadow, seduction, silk dresses and decadence!
