Guilty treat..

I won't be recommending The Secret of Moonacre, the next time someone asks for a movie rec. I won't even be rushing to watch it again myself.


But, have to say...since I *did* end up watching it, at least once, my virtue was rewarded....the costumes, at least for Maria Merryweather, the heroine, were enough to catch my breath.


Even the undies looked really cool. :p


The rest of the characters, not as much. The male counterpart, sorry, looks like a cross between The Artful Dodger, and that guy in A Clockwork Orange. Except when he was wearing a stripe across his nose, for no discernible reason.



Some of the sets were pretty amazing, too..(You can click all these pics for a much larger version to see the details properly..I really recommend it)



And the gates, I loved the gates! How neat are they??

So, yeah...if you have an hour or two to kill, and want to see some pretty eye candy (better than my lousy screencaps here), you MIGHT wander over to the kiddie aisle at Blockbuster. Just don't say I didn't warn you. :p

Forever..

Moby isn't usually my thing. In fact, he usually bores the heck out of me. But this one I found over on Luyi's Some Required, I really, really like. Keep looping it, in fact.

Mustardseeds and Moonshine...

I'm not usually one for little flower shaped dishes. I find them a bit twee. But I won't argue too loudly if someone decides to gift me with a set from the fantastically named Mustardseeds and Moonshine, found over on Hidden In France. Really, I won't. Promise. :p

The Red, White and Blue..

Happy Fourth of July!!! Off to have a hot, sticky and fun day. :p


Credits:
I have no idea about any of them...I saved them all last year, and for some reason, I didn't save a single credit. :( If you know who one belongs to, let me know and I'll fix it!

Deserted and desolate..

Something so sad about an abandoned home.

This post was going to be all about the amazing art created by iri5 over on Flickr, made with cassette tape and 16mm film on canvas.


But then there was Monet's portrait from his Woman with Umbrella, cut and rearranged..

Or Salvadore Dali, drawn from his own surrealism..


Mohammad Ali depicted through his own life..


If you click over to his Flickr site, you can even see a step by step in progress of Oscar Wilde from his own Portrait of Dorian Gray. Seriously, the artist is TALENTED.
