Wise words of the beautiful...

"I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy!"

I found this quote by Marilyn Monroe and thought it was really appropriate for the shoot we did, it really shows how the pin-up was a fantasy for many women - even the most beautiful women ever!

She also quoted this...

"I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!"

Wise words Marilyn, Wise words!

Diet coke break

This song gets stuck in my head all day! <3
And, is it a little bit sad I'm jealous of a puppets wardrobe?

Summer loving...

I just walked through the door, soaking wet, with a battered umbrella...Hurry up summer!
After purchasing my first Maxi dress of the year, a gorgeous lil black number perfect for the flip-flop & aviators combo, I've been searching for my next summer bargain!


Now, I'm not a high maintenance girl - natural make-up, a quick messy hair do & I'm off, so the summer 'Boho chic' look is perfect for those lazy summer days, I love these outfits that have been put together by ASOS...Now all i need are those perfect model like pins! Ah well!

Go Scar Jo...

Yesterday we had our group crit. I was terrified the class would rip our idea to shreds, or worse - rip us to shreds! Luckily all went okay, nobody had a bad word to say - and we also got some helpful tips on finding the vital 2nd model!

One comment made was not to make the images too 1950's, so to use it in a modern twist.

Scarlet Johannson often has a vintage inspired look but with a modern twist, here's a few images we could use as inspiration...

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...

This is a picture of our final location, Its this really cute milkshake/ice cream bar in Preston. It has a very retro style, and really reminds me of that cafe in Grease!

We can use some great props here - shakes, ice creams, reflection in the mirrors etc.

Here's a not-so-lovely picture of myself, taken by Bex, at the bar...

Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?

Alice in Wonderland, the film the world has been waiting for. Being a child that grew up with Disney, believing in Prince charming & that my toys cam alive at night, I was eagerly awaiting this film...and it didn't disappoint!

The plot, basically Alice returns to Wonderland but thinks its all a dream, as you follow her adventure all your favourite characters pop-up along the way to help out! The film was fantastically cast, Matt Lucas being a personal highlight for me - he's SO tweedledee & tweedledum I don't know how I've never realised before! As for Bab's as the doormouse, The mitchell fighting spirit is still clear to see! The only criticism is that maybe it wasn't 'crazyyyy' enough? Wonderland slightly had lost its 'muchness'.

Saying that, I still absolutely loved it! <3
