It's something which has been stirring for a good few years, I think, even before the excitement of this remake. Has been twinkled around the edges of a few catwalks stretching back 4 years or so; there is definitely a mood for it. <br /><br />And therein lies the beat: we are tired of the politically correct, the minimalist outlook, the oh-so-serious severe predictions for the future. Somewhere, amongst it all, there is a mood for something more elusive: a little softer, a little more optimistic. <br /><br />And so the social/fashion/ mood pendulum swings. A reaction, as it always seems to be, to what has gone before. We want to be startled, but we also want to dream. <br /><br />Bravo to all glamour, I say!! xx Glamour Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651174250292927988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-5064647299260494652012-11-29T03:00:24.488-08:002012-11-29T03:00:24.488-08:00Don't be sorry for your down mood.

The problem is, I have so many expensive programs on my MacBook for designing books (InDesign, etc) that it's redundant taking an iPad AND a MacBook overseas. And the iPads aren't really made for typing up 80,000-word books! I'm so envious of you all. Would love a Kindle or iPad.

I do hope she didn't turn out like Sunday Reed's adopted son. Or Hemingway's poor boys. Fingers crossed she escaped the horrors of fame.<br /><br />Love Funny Face. So many great scenes in that film. The 'Think Pink' scene is wonderful. Kay Thompson's character was apparently based on Diana Vreeland. Kay was also the author of the famous Eloise books. (She lived at the Plaza Hotel in NY; the setting for the books.) Fred Astaire was also great playing the role of Richard Avedon. <br /><br />xxJanelle McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006727386237836016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-9373497749295539542012-11-29T02:05:24.712-08:002012-11-29T02:05:24.712-08:00So much to love in this post!

Or from one of his books? Yes, can't wait for the movie, hope it will be a great success - the stills are certainly stunning. Catherine Martin is such a clever designer. <br />Baz did wonders for the Moulin Rouge with that movie. Apparently it was struggling at the time and ever since has been a roaring success. We watched endless busloads of people arriving one evening. <br />The bookshop pictures reminded me of "Funnyface" - it was on Foxtel again the other night. Quite magical.
