Posts from — February 2008

With February already here, long-awaited fashion and makeup collaborations will finally make their way to some of us who’ve been reading about them for months.
First off, I’ve been waiting to see what Milla Jovovich has planned for her Jovovich-Hawk line debuting at Target [as part of their GO International series] on March 2. When I first saw the sneak peek of the line I wasn’t too impressed, as I like to dress like I’m five years old and most of the prints are laid-back California girl chic, but there are a few pieces that I will check out when it hits the store. This eyelet dress looks perfect for a Spring pic-a-nic.

And this cream-colored number looks fitting for that tea party I someday plan to have…

Although the last thing I need is another black dress, I am digging the detail on the bottom. [Photos via Target.com]

In a couple weeks the Fafi/MAC Cosmetics collaboration will be coming out! And look how pretty it is!

I can’t wait to get my hands on some of that, especially since I had to throw away a bunch of eye makeup because of an eye infection I had [VOM, I know]. Her line is said to debut on Valentine’s Day. That’s gonna be a nice present to the one I love most. ME!

And don't forget Heatherette's MAC line is also coming out in March!

Better save your pennies putanas! [I first wrote penis instead of pennies there. Aiiiii!]

I was recommended a film by a friend the other day called Jeux d’enfants. The American title is Love Me If You Dare. It stars my new favorite French actress Marion Cotillard, who is up [and should win] for Best Actress in La Vie En Rose, which I saw recently. She is as adorable and lovely to watch as Audrey Tatou, but edgier. IN OUR COMIC BOOK WORLD, If I had little cartoon consciences on my shoulders I would want the angel to be Audrey and the devil to be Marion telling me what to do…

Jeux d’ enfants tells the tale of Julien and Sophie, who as children begin a mischievous game of dares that escalates into a sadistic competition as adults. Their conjoined insanity and obsession with the game seems to prevent them from pursuing a normal relationship with each other even though those crazies are meant to be. This anti-love story will either charm or frustrate you, but if you are like me and love watching sexy French people, gorgeous imagery-ridden, fucked up movies then this should be right up your alley. I’m always head over heels for a lot of color and Jeux d’enfants is filled with many beautiful scenes. Sophie is usually shown wearing the color red or hints of it and the scene where she is standing on train tracks, blindfolded in a poofy red dress is naturally a favorite. So, Cap Ou Pas Cap? ["Are you game or not?"]

[Also the mancandy is very tasty. I'll take two of those, mum.]
