Mops, Mannequins, Meaghan Smith

If you like the Puppini Sisters, you might just enjoy Meaghan Smith. The mannequins and mops in this video make me laugh every time

Atonement

We didn't bring our camera to the charity event we did end up going to last night, so an acquaintance took some pictures.  However, said acquaintance has not yet emailed them to us, so in the mean-time, I thought I'd re-post some stills from Atonement, a book-to-movie adaptation which I re-watched recently.  Both book and film do some very interesting things with the whodunnit mystery genre. As well, both highlight some interesting ideas about history and the notions of truth and (mis)perception, but I definitely find the film most endlessly riveting from a fashion perspective I LOVE how this movie captures the drastic transformation of fashion within just a few years in Britain during the 30s. I also think the costumes (their color, their fabrics) are ingeniously used to reflect Britain's movement from a rather luxurious and Edenic world of opulence and leisure to a hellish nightmare world filled with loss, labour, and sacrifice, an arch which is microcosmically mirrored in the life of Cecilia, played by Keira Knightly.   

I suppose I must atone for the fact that I forget where I got these images from.  Naughty kitten...
