The great Edie's!

EEKK! Have you heard the word??? Grey Gardens is now a movie starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange! For those who don't know what Grey Gardens is. . . .OMG let me tell you. Grey Gardens is a place where Jackie O's aunt and cousin lived in filth and squalor (? did I use that right?). Jackie's aunt AKA Big Edie was a beautiful young woman who had about 4 children, including Little Edie, but became a recluse after her husband left her for another woman. Big Edie begged Little Edie to stay with her in Grey Gardens despite the fact that Little Edie was trying to make it as a model in New York. Being the obedient daughter she is, Little Edie moved back home to be with her mother and stayed there for years and years until Big Edie died. The two lived in Grey Gardens as if it was a world of its own and it kind of was. They were there own celebrities in a house that was falling apart and filled with piles and piles of trash. The two never left Grey Gardens except for one time to attend a party when while they were gone their house was broken into and tons of family items and jewelry was stolen. After that night, Big Edie vowed to never leave the house again. If you haven't seen the documentary, please do. It's insanely unbelievable and at the same time devastatingly real. I stumbled upon it somehow and became obsessed ever since, which is why I am ecstatic about the movie coming out this saturday on HBO. Grey Gardens is also a musical, soon to be book and a fashion inspiration. I found a couple of pictures (I say a couple because I could have put alot of more pictures up) and AHH I just saw the trailer on tv right now! Haha, anyways. . . . oh yea pictures, so I have a few pictures of how designers have used Grey Gardens as inspiration for their creations, I have a few pictures of stills from the movie and a few of the real life Grey Garden stars. Enjoy and rent Grey Gardens (we got it from the library for free) and/or watch the movie Saturday on HBO.

Coachella..ella...ella...

Extremely jealous of anyone going to Coachella. . .including my boyfriend and his BFF's. They leave Thursday and don't come back until Monday! As most of you know, Coachella is a music festival for the cool kids and not so cool kids but they all seem to get along there. . . Or maybe that's what I imagine it to be. I will go oneday damn it, I don't care if I don't get to go until I'm 40 years old, I'm going given the chance. Sadly, I don't have $300 plus I wouldn't be able to go with the boyfriend (it's "boys" weekend/trip)....and last time I checked I didn't have a penis. So I'll just pretend I'm there and vicariously live through my boyfriend for this weekend. Although I know Coachella is a musical adventure, I can't help but to imagine its probably a very fashionable one as well. I mean, come on, it's in California, where all the cool kids are and it's a musical menagerie (I don't think that word works but I like it). I'm pretty sure if I went, I'd be taking alot of pictures of peoples outfits rather than pictures of bands. . . I googled some pictures and found a bunch of inspiring pictures I think I would see if I went to Coachella.

Have fun Coachella-goers! Xx

Class: CANCELLED

Therefore, I am writing. . . waiting for my booboo to get out of his class. SO! Last night, I watched Cabaret, which I got off Ebay for $10 thankyouverymuch. I had always caught bits and pieces of Cabaret on cable but never seen the whole thing. Although it is a bit long. . . OH EM GEE was it fabulous! It was made in the 70's but set in the 1930's in Germany (Pre-Nazi/Adolf Hitler time but pretty close). Mein eyes were glued to the tv set, Miss Minelli was just breath-taking. I don't wanna give it away but I'm not sure how many will actually watch it because I said to. . . but you should. Anyways, her make up and clothes were to die for. Here's a peak:

Everything from her green, long fingernails to her amazing outfits was inspiring. At times she looked like Anne Hathaway which kinda intrigued me. P.S. Anne Hathaway has been slated (its rumored) to play Judy Garland in an upcoming Judy Garland movie. . . very interrrrresting. For those who don't know, Judy Garland is Liza Minelli's mother. (Shake & bake)! Yes, that just happened. See, you learn something new everyday. Anyways, please take a look at Cabaret if you haven't already. Yes, it's a musical but a damn good one!

Peace, xx
