Hello there lovelies,
While The Boyfriend is away, I have been taking the time to watch (and re-watch) some of the "girly" movies & TV series' that he doesn't really like. Or, watch them on the big TV that is. Usually I just pop them on in my laptop, put on my headphones and make The Boyfriend think I'm a weirdo who randomly laughs at invisible people.
One of my girly watchings this week was The Other Boleyn Girl. According to my good friend Wikipedia, it is "a romanticized account of the lives of 16th-century aristocrats Mary Boleyn, one-time mistress of King Henry VIII, and her sister, Queen Anne, who became the monarch's ill-fated second wife, though much history is distorted." Despite the historical inaccuracy, I really loved the movie. Natalie Portman & Scarlett Johansson were both fantastic, but as usual, I mainly fell in love with the gowns. Take a look:
The costumes for the two leading actresses were absolutely superb. I loved the way that the colours of the gowns tied into the portrayal of the characters. Anne Boleyn, who is imagined as a cold, manipulative person is almost always wearing cool colours. Mary Boleyn, played as a kind-hearted, if somewhat naive, girl is always clothed in warm colours. Either it really tied everything in nicely, or I am over-exaggerating the significance of the costumes colours. Hey, either way, I still loved it. I am also left with a sudden pressing desire to wear fantastic head gear.Until next time, xo.
P.S. For all you saucy minxes, here's a shot of Eric Bana as King Henry VIII. You're welcome.
