Bardot does Chaplin

Brigitte Bardot is photographed on break from filming Viva Maria! in Mexico 1965. According to Willi Frischauer's biography on the star, Bardot: an Intimate Biography, Bardot would perform splendid impersonations of the legendary Charlie Chaplin in order to pass the long months on the hot Mexico set, despite never seeing a Chaplin film. These are several photos from the rarely-seen shoot.

6. Catching up on the greatest show of our generation.

7. Wandering through the snow alone with nothing but headphones and some music to listen to.

8. Renewed inspiration.

Celebrity Hair Style Alicia Silverstone

Alicia Silverstone hairstyles have varied throughout the years from being blonde to a fiery red brunette. It does not matter what color Alicia's hair is, she is always stylish with simple half up styles as well as tight curls, soft waves and blunt cut edges to complete her greatest hairstyles. Alicia's hair speaks simplicity but creates wonders when she sports them.

This is casual half up style for the "clueless" star, the front section of Alicia's hair was pinned back while the back and sides were left out to create a fun and easy look on her angled layers and wonderfully trimmed ends, where this hairstyle has lots of body.

 

You are sure to have a "crush" on this star when you see her in this beautifully angle layered hairstyle that create subtle waves. Her hair is kept to medium length while one side is swept gently to the back while the other side is left falling to her shoulders, giving her a very playful look.

the big bang theory

I don't know if it's because of too many late night viewings of (500) Days of Summer, or if it's because of these recently released pictures from InStyle, but my desire to have choppy fantastic fringe has come back full force. Not to say I'm completely against a naked forehead, but I can deny that a girl with blunt bangs and painted eyes looks utterly gorgeous.

Here are some photos of girls from yesterday and today:

Penelope Tree, the epitome of blunt bangs and painted eyes

"Why yes, Pattie, your hair does look fab..."

Style maven Susie Bubble, looking utterly precious with her fringe

Sienna Miller as Nikki in Alfie, rocking a haircut that spawned a million admirers

Jane Birkin, the possessor of the most enviable fringe in history

Serge Gainsbourg prodigy France Gall lives up to her innocent image with her blonde bangs

French model (and Johnny Depp baby mama) Vanessa Paradis looks like paradise with her chic blunt cut

Daisy Lowe, the rebel model who walks as many nightclub entrances as runways, rocks the bad girl essential: choppy, uneven fringe

The recently-turned brunette socialite/designer Nicole Richie (wearing her own Winter Kate dress) shows off her equally as stylish bangs

Frequent Vogue cover girl Jean Shrimpton looks the picture of elegance with chandelier earrings and perfectly trimmed fringe

The Plight of a Leading Lady

I think sometimes my dream life sort of ruins my real life. I have these idealized visions of how things should go, and when reality goes anything but that, it's a little disappointing. I cast people as characters, I script our conversations, I have the appropriate makeup and wardrobe departments (i.e. my closet and makeup bag), so why isn't everyone else quite apt to live up to my screenplay?

There was a book that I was utterly obsessed with when I was twelve or thirteen. It was called "Life is a Movie Starring You" by Jennifur Brandt. The book encouraged young girls (young both in heart and in body) to live each day as the star of their own movie. A girl is supposed to be the leading lady in her own life, never the sidekick. The sidekick (in typical romantic comedy fashion) is always the dependable, less-attractive friend of the lead that always says those daring or slightly inappropriate things that a leading lady would never dare say (because she is too wonderful). The lead girl is darling, romantic, dreamy, and so full of genuine hopes and ambitions that we all want her to succeed.

I completely blame John Hughes for ruining my high school experience. I wasn't the athlete, the basket case, the outlaw, the brain, or the princess. According to the Gospel of John (Hughes), I was nobody. I wouldn't be the star of my own '80s teen comedy, I would be an extra that filled in seats in the classroom of wandered the hallways. I suppose like in a lot of romantic comedies nowadays, the leading lady is supposed to be so relatable that every girl can insert herself into that role. Molly Ringwald was that girl of the eighties for Hughes' films. But honestly, how is a girl supposed to compare to Molly Ringwald? She was supposed to be the 'everygirl,' the underdog that we would all root for, but why do I want to root for the girl who has better hair/cooler clothes/way more appealing romantic prospects than I do? I had to go stag to my senior prom (no Duckie to rescue me, I never had a cool mentor like Iona to teach me her ways, nor an annoying freshman who worshipped me, and when my birthday was forgotten, it was just like any other day - I never got to make out with Jake Ryan at the end.

But what I guess I have to realize is that life - despite how much I want it to be - is not a movie. It is alright to maintain romantic notions about how we want or wish our lives to be, as long as these dreams don't crowd into our reality. And as much as I love films and dreams, I can't let that be the only thing that I have in my life. I still want very much to be my own leading lady, but I have to grow to accept that a life's film is a production - there are many people that go into making it, and I can't write the script, make the costumes, do the lighting, sound, etc. etc. I have to accept that there are limitations and just enjoy each scene (or day) as it comes.

fashion, put it all on me, i am anyone you want me to be

Gaga, ooh la la. Lady Gaga has singlehandedly redefined the way that the mainstream audience interprets fashion. No longer are 'good' and 'bad' the only choices, but 'cool', 'outlandish' and 'artistic' now enter the discussion. With a healthy mix of high fashion (Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Christian Louboutin) and her own design collective Haus of Gaga, Lady Gaga is the most inventive singers of today. She has spurred on every major trend (leotards, no pants, blackout sunglasses, structured shoulders, cupid's bow lips) and non-trend (dresses made of disco balls, studded eye masks, full body lace outfits) of the last year and a half. It wouldn't be Lady Gaga if her outfits weren't bizarre, captivating, outlandish, and gorgeously disturbing. Love her or hate her, Gaga is a force to be reckoned with. I proudly count myself as one of her many 'monsters,' because who else but our dear Gaga could wear eye pasties to meet the Queen?
