Black Book
The other day I eventually got round to watching Black Book, by Paul Verhoeven. One of the things that won me over was Rachel Stein a.k.a. Ellis De Vries' wardrobe.........
Big floppy black beret worn tilted over to one side, with bright red lipstick,
a Rupert The Bear - style checked scarf and a calf-length navy blue trench.
A sleeveless silky red number to match the oversized red roses in your hair,
freshly dyed blonde (with matching collars & cuffs) so they don't guess you
are ein Juden Frau!! Minxy.
Floral tea dresses are nice for hanging out with topless sailors and
ducking from the Jerries' overhead attack.
This sheer black button-up dress with the cream silk slip underneath is
so nice that you'll want to wear it for several days in a row, which is what
she does in this film.

Perfect for beating an elegant retreat from your Nazi lover-to-be.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side
This weekend I'm going to an Andy Warhol's Factory themed birthday party. I'll be dressed as Candy Darling, one of my favourite Warhol Superstars...
I never realised that she had brown eyes, unless this is a trick of the camera... I'll have to look up more colour photos to check. I ordered blue contact lenses partly for this occasion, partly to aid my day-to-day Liz Taylor impersonations, and partly out of curiosity (my eyes are dark brown/hazel).
I'm still impatiently awaiting the release of the Candy documentary film, Beautiful Darling, which I'm sure I've mentioned before. I can't remember when it is supposed to be coming out. Does anyone know what's going on?
Anyway, I'll definitely post photos of my transformation and of the other party folk. xx
