Bottoms

I am not really doing the most thought-provoking posts at the moment but I am trying to put all my energy into revising for my August exams (mitigating circumstances in January.)

So basically I am watching 'The Prince and the Showgirl' (Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe) and I noticed something:

Look familar?

I wonder if Pippa Middleton knew she was having a bit of a Marilyn moment... And I wonder if big, round healthy bums will continue to grow (in popularity) and become an acceptable body shape?

I have found that I am starting to like Marilyn Monroe more and more. People always seem to pit her and Audrey Hepburn against each other when choosing an 'icon' but they are hardly comparable. I think that seeing all the 'off-duty' shots of Monroe, lifting weights or bored and waiting, made me like her a lot more as a person.

Also you've got to love some of the jewellery in this film:

 It must be so fun to be on commission for extravagant royal families/a costume jewellery maker in Hollywood!

Heavily influenced by the advert of Lake Street Creamery:




Actually, there are quite a few really good ice-cream adverts on tv... this is another favourite of mine:



I'm sure there are loads more...

Shooting Insects

Yesterday we started doing the photography for my website (I have a website now - still under construction but here). So far we have been taking the product shots and I am planning on doing a model shoot sometime this summer. My boyfriend, Rowan, and our friend Jack were the photographers and we were using the studio in Jack's house. It was a really nice sunny day, fairly chilled out. I really enjoy being able to work with friends as much as possible, none of this aggressive business attitude. I just want to collaborate with people I like!

I don't think 'tough' is my look...
