" Departure in affection, and shining sounds"

Two points for you if you know where the title comes from without google searching it.
Christmas is coming and I'm excited! Are you? My gifts to you:



My latest Girl Crush, Geogia May Jagger, dangerously beautiful and freakishly cool. Then again, being Mick Jagger's daughter makes it impossible for her to be boring.



the quote is from Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard, I tried to recreate the scene ( although the movie is not in a blue filter ), the woman is Jean Seberg and she's interviewing Parvulesco, a french novelist. The quote fits very nicely with the the fleeting dynamic of the film. The picture aside is from a film called Sunrise, a song of two humans (1927) by F.W Murnau, again one of my favorite directors. Francois Truffaut said it was the most beautiful film ever made. The film is very modern for its time and uses a lot of visual tricks. I love that shot, you'd have to see the movie to understand but it's quite symbolic.

Finally, This is a video that me and my BFF ( aww <3 ) made,

it's a parody of the music video by Kanye West and uhm.. the other girl " American Boy" . We made it ourselves and We had lots of fun doing it. The neighbors weren't too happy I think about the song being repeated 56 times.. but it was all worth it!!
Enjoy !!

Santa Claus ain't got nothing on me

So in the previous post I sort of lied when I said I didn't buy anything. I bought two nail polishes ( wouhouh!). In a failed attempt to copy my friend lula ( getting tired of the repeated promotion yet?), I wanted to paint my nails in a light gray but it ended up looking like a pigeon died. I also wanted to buy a mint green nail polish but it actually was turquoise so I think I have color blindness. Anyway thumbs up for hand modeling, I think Tyra Banks would be impressed of how fierce my poses look right now. Especially the last one, I'm a real G 

So, I also figured out what I want to give as a gift for christmas to my parents. My mother- I just found a bunch of pictures on my computer of me and my brothers and sisters my mother has not seen in a while; and you know how parents always complain that it's a shame that we don't process photos anymore ( and I agree ), and since she's always busy and not very arts and craft I going to make her a huge photo album.
Green Peace. Anyway, I know she'll like it but I'm not very sure I'm going to like it since Most of the pictures that were taken were when I had braces and a unibrow. you sexy thang,

mmh..
And for my fatherr, I'm so proud of that Idea. I'm going to make him a rum yes yes a marinated rum. Isn't the idea cool? Let your inner Jack Sparrow take over! It's cheap, you don't need a lot of things and it's easy to do and pretty to give. All you need is love, and a bit of


You can do it with Lime, Cinnamon, Ginger, Hibiscus and whatever else. I'm doing a pineapple and vanila one. ALl you have to do is put all the ingredients together and let it rest for at least a month..

Anyway, I keep feeling like spiders are biting me. I should definitely stop crack. kidding, totally kidding but seriously I'm going to check my bed!

Let's pretend Santa Claus exists

Today, I went shopping, hoping to find cheap gifts for my family. Spoiler: I didn't buy anything. It was an absolute torture though to see all these pretty things I could not buy wether it was clothes,books, jewelry even fine oils and flavored chutneys. My debit card did not feel like going out today and since I understand my whole family is going through the same issue I decided to believe in Santa Clause this christmas. Who knows?
So.. Dear SANTA.
First of all let me say, Yes I've been a very good girl-at least I've been trying my best.
Now let's get down to business shall we? I WANT:

1.....

Delicious Doc Martens and a beautiful camera.. mmh soregasm
2.....

A nice bunch of my favorite films. The Godfather, because it's a visual masterpiece. Trainspotting because it's smart and witty. This is England because it's everything I love in a film and the soundtrack album is just PURE GOODNESS (Toots and Maytals, The Specials, UK.subs, Percy Sledge <3). The Kubrick collection because he's one of my favorite directors, The Woodstock Live Concert ( do I really need to justify?..) and finally Dark City because If I were a movie it would be this one. Not because it's my favorite but because it fits my style perfectly. I just noticed I really have a hard time handling punctuation. annnnd let us not forget; 3......
I adore Big Books with lots of pretty pictures! Since I'm a huge fan of the clash, it's only normal I should have this book.. Finally Francesca Woodman is by far one of my favorite photographer. The picture on the left is an photograph she took of herself when she was only 14. I find her photographs so interesting, strange but very beautiful.

So that's it. It was nice to pretend for a bit. Hope you guys get all the christmas presents you want but what's more important is that you have fun spending the holidays with relatives you don't know and gaining 9 pounds in just two weeks( maybe that's just me..)

If I sleep what will I dream of this time?

Alright alright,
So as I said earlier I'm a student in film and I hope to be one day, a director or a script writer. I directed a film in High School, it was sort of experimental and everyone thought it was weird except my mother probably. I think the main problem was that it did not support a narrative at all, there was no story, it was just visual. Nonetheless, I'm proud of it and again I had a lot of fun doing it, my friends were really into it except for the makeup removal part which was nearly impossible. It was inspired by Sartre's "Hell is other people" and the Metamorphoses by Ovid ( only some excerpts though ) I'll try to upload it eventually! Here's a shot..


I also wrote a short story that you may read here ( my friend's blog ). It's very gothic i think. I had to write it for school but the big idea is to re-adapt it into a short film one day, soon.. The story's title is The Second Death, if it were a film I guess its poster would look like this:


the main character would of course be the statuesque Marcello Mastroianni ( I wrote the whole story with him in mind) :


The death scene would be inspired by this painting (Sir John Everett Millais in 1852, Ophelia)


and then I would be rich and live there:


and be married to Matt Dillon or Joaquin Phoenix. ahh .. In the Meantime I have to take my little brother to karate class so I'll leave you with a very short excerpt from my short story!

As I walk through the ceaseless brume I remember words in the bible like “judgment”, “lake of fire” and “damned”. I recall running, standing, crying over rotten regrets. I recall paradise, hell, paintings and drawings. I meander aimlessly like a twisted vagabond until I finally stumble upon a corpse. The corpse rests on dense grass. Its skin is lush and almost lavender colored. It’s my lover. I can finally see her angelic face and her abysmal eyes stare right to me. Last time I saw her she was sitting on this rock but it appears that the rock now sits on her.



That's Heidi Montag trying to audition for the role.. pff .
I can't make too much fun of her though because I use to watch The Hills but only because it was so awfully stupid, ( isn't that what everyone says?)

Holy rollers roll,













Just some pictures of three beautiful beautiful girls, and of three great friends. These photos remind me of a great time: I lived with my best friend and another very good friend came over from france. Needless to say these days were not boring. I remember one morning, they surprised me with an enormous breakfast, It was also kind of stupid because we had Apple pie and Ribs ( I <3 ribs )Anyway, I hope I was able to capture the whole "mood" . 









And Voila! Also, the title of the article is from a song from the Clash (My favorite band!!) called "sound of sinners", it's not my favorite song at all, but I love the lyrics.. just thought I'd mention it,

FIRST POST OMG-UNIT



Hello Hello,

I've been dreading this moment, first post, what to say? what pictures? !*#(# I'll start by thanking you for passing by! ..mmh now what?
I'm a student in Film Studies and originally I wanted to make a blog about cinema, commenting on films I've seen etc.. but I'm not really going to do that. First, because I don't feel confident enough to do so and my posts would look like this : " This film explores important themes such as religion and death and hey what do you guys think will happen in the next Gossip Girl episode? " so yeah no. Not to mention the fact that when I thought of starting a blog I wasn't all that serious about it, but my best friend nearly bullied me to do it, making my template, my header .. and she's a serious and successful blogger so make sure you go check her out HERE . Anyways, anything to make mama proud so here I am.


I'll be posting things I like, things I do and the rest, we shall see! BY THE WAY, if you need movie recommendations, feel free to comment and tell me what sort of film you like or what film you're in the mood for and I'll comment back on your blog with my best suggestion cause I'm cool like that, and I'm not going to recommend you a classic or silent film otherwise known as "boring" if that's not what you're looking for. Really, I've seen lots and lots of films from A Man escaped to Easy A.. ( can't believe Malcom McDowell plays in this film.. rhh ) ! Likewise, if you have suggestions for me ( not only in films, photography, art, music.. 5ft8 male models.. kidding ) please share!

I recently started watching Dexter but I can't decide wether I like it or not. Oh and I really want to see Black Swan! If you've seen it and decide to comment PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THE END or I'll flag your comment and say it was racist,

Until next time,
Goodbye Blue Sky
