Lowdown #1

I feel like dropping some knowledge on you folks. A change of heart, I know, but I must keep you guessing at all times. This is where I combine all the things I'm passionate about into one post; film, music (sort of in this particular post), fashion, and how it all relates. Sorry gents it's another girly post. You snooze, you loose. However, I'm looking forward to making this a semi-regular theme. Here's the first of many more Lowdowns to come...

I adore the movie Funny Face and think this dance sequence is the aces. Yes, I just used the word aces. When in Rome, talk as the Roman's would. The dance number is weird and fun, and unlike the rest of the film (i.e. Fred Astaire dancing in a garden...) This is the kind of thing that made me want to be apart of film. Also, Audrey Hepburn can not be matched or mimicked. I have such a girl crush on her! Don't deny it, you've all heard the term girl crush, and most likely, you're in the same boat as I. Anyways, I'll probably be going to hell because I express an overflowing amount of envy, whenever I watch her in movies. Sins.


I'll ask the obvious question. Who here reading this blog is currently wearing skinny jeans?? I bet most of you ladies answered, yes! And rightfully so, "it's so choice", the cat's meow, bourgeois, and don't forget très chic. That was starting to sound pretentious, PHEW! Even if you answered no, you probably have at least 3 pairs sitting in your closet now. Moving along... this little dance number rocked your closet in 2006 when Gap superimposed Audrey Hepburn's Funny Face dance into their Back in Black campaign, which started the skinny jean CRAZE! Do you remember this commercial?? I certainly do. It's probably one of the very few add campaigns that have stuck with me like feathers to glue. Way to go Gap advertising team. Way-to-go.


Did that jog your memory? Well the CRAZE is still upon us (Thanks Captain Obvious). If you haven't already noticed the cigarette pant is back in full swing this spring season (more than ever), and I'll even put money on it that penny loafers are making a big comeback too. Yes, your grandmother's wardrobe is going to be more prevalent and in style than yours. Deal with it. Classic will always trump trendy.

Everyone has made fun of my wardrobe for years, but I'm the one laughing now! HA HA HA! You all get to experience my closet up close and personal, and everywhere this fashion season. Not to mention that my wardrobe is actually DEEMED fashionable by the gods themselves.

Here's some advice for all you youths. Rummage through your grandma's (MY) closet. I bet she'll have just what the fashion industry is looking for.
