Lazy Sunny Sunday

@ Hyde Park

Clueless : This is where Lady Gaga got her inspiration from etc

Since I'm still unemployed, and after spending a couple of days going through self pity and craving anything sweet to make me feel better (yesterday was ice cream, the day before was bougatsa and go figure, find bougatsa in London, today is doughnuts), I decided to go back to watching movies all day long. Because what's better than escaping to screen stories, with drama (sometimes even worst than yours), romance and happy endings. I downloaded a variety of movies, starting with the 50's (An affair to remember), 60's (Breakfast at Tiffany's of course), 80's (Sixteen Candles, cute), 90's (Clueless), 00's (The Devil wears Prada) and some recent stuff (like the Prince of Persia, please let it be good).

Clueless, I LOVE.And what's not to love, this movie got everything. Fashion, teen drama, makeovers, shopping, high school, clever lines and cute boys. I remember watching it Saturday evening in Mega Channel, but I observed under a different perspective this time of course, compared to watching it at the age of 10 or so.

Point 1 : So, I was watching and suddenly, BANG, going through the makeover, did I see this right? Are these Coke rollers? Ring a bell? Oh yes right, Lady Gaga made it a trend this year. Well Gaga's styling team, got you. Clueless inspiration.

Point 2 : Blair from Gossip Girl is almost a copy of Cher. Almost because I'd say Blair is smarter. But the expressions and the way they talk is very similar and quite cute. Want more proof? Headbands ladies and gentlemen. Velvet-y and colourful and the ones that match every outfit. That Cher and her BFF were wearing. Haha I've got plenty of these from when I was 10. But the only way I'm wearing them is in the bathroom; when I'm washing my face. Even if Blair made them look cute. We've evolved in that section quite well though and I have proof to show you (soon)

Point 3 : Paul Rudd is in the movie. And he looks exactly the same as he does now! And with a quick IMDBing I find out that's he was 26 at the time (at 1995). Gosh, and that was 15 years ago...! So that makes him...41! :/ (I hope I counted correctly, I'd be embarrased if all that turns out to be pointless) And he looks 30 now so that was a bit of shock. And more thinking of all of us growing old, and time going pass fast.. Absolutely depressing! Just for the shake of mentioning he's Phoebe's Mike from Friends. Who I never noticed till some recent movies and especially my

favourite "I love you man". Aww he looks cute.

Point 4 : This movie has some good lines

(Cher coming late in)

Mel: Do you know what time it is?

Cher: A watch doesn't really go with this outfit, daddy.

Christian: Do you like Billie Holiday?

Cher: I love him.

Cher: Isn't my house classic? The columns date all the way back to 1972.

Cher (for Christian): He does dress better than I do, what would I bring to the relationship?

(Cher coming out with a mini tight white dress)

Mel: What the hell is that?

Cher: A dress.

Mel: Says who?

Cher: Calvin Klein. (SHE IS SOOO CUTE)

Point 5 : Program at the PC (with touch screen, wow for the technology :D), that includes all Cher's clothes and helps her get dressed in the morning! Also seen in Privileged (great series that lasted only for one season, is there anyone else who loved it?). I can't be bothered to find the episodes and take snapshots of that, but WHEN ARE WE ALL GONNA HAVE ONE OF THESE?

So that's all my ramblings for today, I just felt like writing I suppose. I HAD to comment the movie to someone since I watched it alone, right? Thank you if you read. If you only looked at the photos, that's fine too. ^_^

Love,
