Remembering Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe's anniversary of her passing took place fifty years ago today. Her impact of her beauty and style has left an ever present influence on our celebrities today.  There is always some fashion reference to Marilyn Monroe in media, fashion and makeup. I think that without her existence, would we have a Madonna, Michelle Williams, the television show Smash, and other celebrities following her trail? 
Marilyn left a great legacy of film, style, and persona influences for generations
to come. American pop culture and the rest 
of the world never grows tired of the late icon 
Marilyn Monroe.


Madonna
Scarlett Johansson
Gwen Steffani
Blake Lively
Michelle Williams
What would Marilyn think of these modern day trendsetters who keep her memory alive? 
And for you MAC fans, look out for the Marilyn Monroe Collection due October 2012.

Get Medieval! Snow White and the Huntsman

I guess I went through a writer's block last month which accounts for my lack of posts. Life happens, and s**! gets in the way and makes your mind feel like mush. Hence, my creative drive to write was parked on a cul-de-sac and now I'm back banging the keys.
Today, Snow White and the Huntsman lands in theaters and I can't wait to see it. I'm not sure that I will be amongst the crowd this weekend, people tend to get chatty in theater on opening weekend. I like going to the movies on an off day; then, I can enjoy the movie in peace and feel like I'm in my own home theater.
For this much anticipated film; I will be closely watching for the costume designs, for I like the medieval period. In this movie, the costumes worn by Snow White played by Kristen Stewart, seem to marry two characters Joan of Arc with Snow White. And the Evil Queen's attire, paraded by Charlize Theron appear to have reference from Alexander McQueen and Gareth Pugh's  collections. I can't wait to see the Evil Queen's feathers ruffle and be taken on a costume adventure of a film!
