A Movie Review of Cinderella!

hmm, i haven't posted something proper for a while so this had better be good!
let us begin.

'once upon a time...'


                                     'don't you think she needs a more substantial shawl?'
  So. The story line follows the usual 'Cinderella' story. Father marries mean lady with mean daughters. Father ------. Ella becomes a servant. Goes to ball. Falls in love with prince. Leaves at midnight. Loses her slipper. Prince finds her. They live happily Ever After.(that movie's cool too)
But of course it is far more interesting than that... 

Cinderella (Lily James) was perfectly pretty and sweet and magic-bluebirds-y nice as she is meant to be. Kind and caring, slightly scared of her stepmother, but keeping to the vow she had made to her mother. 'Be Kind, and have Courage."  Her blue dress was very pretty, and the dress she wore as a little girl was nice too.


Ella and her Mother. Their dresses are very pretty!

Cinderella.
  
Drizella, the stepmother, and Anastasia.

The stepmother was very mean but i think i prefer her to the baroness in 'ever after'.
Drizella and Anastasia were silly,as they should be and always wear matching dresses with D in yellow and A in pink.




The Prince is first seen when the two cross paths in the woods. Cinderella convinces him to stop hunting for sport which they have no need of.  'Kit' is puzzled by this but hopes they will meet again.
On first impressions he's kind of cheesy. Someone described him as a frog. But you get used to him.



What i love is that the moviemakers obviously tried hard to capture the magical sweetness and prettiness of "Cinderella". Another i found funny but nice, is the little blue birds...sadly i couldn't find any pictures of them, but they were just like the little birds in the fairy-tale story.



The King...poor guy doesn't look to happy. I think he was perfect for the king. Really nice, with
'Obi-wan Kenobi' hair.
 
Yes. He was great.

Now of course i don't want to give lots of things away, i mean, i couldn't just spoil this fabulous movie for everyone else! I won't say any more but i will post some pretty photos!
















       

                   You Shall go to the Ball!!!

oh well...

Sadly i am unwell and i wont be able to attend the country dance tonight. snif,snif.
though hopefully my friend Kaity will be able to get some pics!
love you all and God bless,

THE HEADLINES TODAY:

No.1. Anakin and Padme     Movie: STAR WARS Ep.2  Contributor: Me!

Padme's dress is exquisite! It's the nicest one she ever wears! Anakin's clothes are so,so. Slightly fancier then a normal Jedi. What I really love is Padme's hair.She really suits curls! The hairnets are pretty! 

In this pic you can better see her hair.She has a lace flowered headband round her forehead and a pink ribbon holds her hair back. The hairnets are really pretty. What i love about her dress is that it's gold with pink flowers and embroidery on it and i think it looks really nice together!

No.2
Emily Blakeney Submitted:

Cosette Pontmercy's Wedding Outfit -  Movie: Les Mis 2012  Contributor: Emily Blakeney!



I love the overall style of all Cosette's clothes! The wedding dress is probably my favourite of all her dresses. It's pink, but a light pink, so not too far from the traditional white. I just love the puffed sleeves and all the lace! The sleeves have laces over part of them, and she has a lace piece over the bodice. (As you can see in the picture, the lace comes out underneath the sash.)



You can see in this picture that her earrings have white pearls/beads, then browny coloured beads underneath. Her hair is tied in a ribbon with small flowers on top, and a few larger ones at the back.
Overall, I really love this wedding outfit - I wouldn't mind having it for mine!

Thanks Emily for this great contribution!(i say that word too much!)

No.3. Anne Shirley Movie:Anne of Green Gables. Contributor: Me!
  Anne's clothes are all quite pretty, but this one exceeds them all! I love the whole puffy/flare look. The violet sash sooo pretty against the white dress! I like how on her right hand she wears a bangle over her glove, it looks pretty. The color in this pic isn't great but makes stand out better then other pics i saw.(the flowers in the background are pretty!) 

  You can see here that her pearl necklace from Matthew is three strands twisted together, and i think it looks nicer than one strand.She also has tiny pearl earrings.I love her hair! i mean, it's not super fancy, but it just look's so pretty!

I hope all you who read this enjoy it and please send any ideas that you have!

Next month...."November competition! THEME: Red girl/boy outfit.

"...and Mary danced only four dances!..."

I'm going to an english country dance in october! I can't wait!
I am going in a pretty blue flower-patterned Marie Antoinette style dress, made by my amazing sis beth, and adjusted by moi.my sister beth posted pictures of our last one here. I will take as many pics as i can to post here!

And here it is!

Sorry but this was the best photo so you will have to crane your neck a bit! (or tilt your p.c.!)

It has a petty coat thing under neath and then the over part is laced up with a black ribbon.

I just can't wait to wear it and to go to the dance and take heaps of photos for you lovely people to look at!
