Style on Film.

I am all about the blond hair and dark eyebrows -- so mod!


I have to say I really liked Beyonce's look as Etta James.









She is sassy and all curved - up!













The 1940's - 1960's era was very kind to the CurvyGirl.
Women never had to apologize for having a curvaceous bod.
Women really looked like women and not bony boys.





I want to re-create her look for myself.
I have the 'blond" hair and Lord knows I am all curved-up!
I will keep posted!

Patty on Site and At The Movies

I recently saw the movie "Cadillac Records" . The movie explores the music from the early 1940's to the 1960's.
Despite the advertisements and promotions this not just a Beyonce movie.
The movie also stars Adrien Brody , Jeffery Wright , Cedric the Entertainer and Mos Def.

The promoters did a disservice to the movie. Beyonce really does not appear until good hour into the movie and is only on screen for about fifteen to twenty minutes.
Besides that she does do a fine job as Etta James. She has Etta's stance and mannerisms down .

This movie is very good! I encourage anyone who is a music buff to view the movie & purchase the soundtrack. The viewer will learn how many artists ( IE The Beach Boys) stole music from the real pioneers . The movie covers all the facts.
It's a grand depiction of the early music industry.

Please leave a COMMENT
Let me know if you have seen the movie and what you thought!

Thanks!

Mamma Mia - The Movie

The movie Mamma Mia movie is based on the musical and the music of Swedish band ABBA
Starring Meryl Streep ( who we all have a fashion fondness since The Devil Wears Prada )
Amanda Seyfried
Christina Baranski ( from my hometown of Buffalo, N.Y.)

It's just a Summertime movie of frolic fun. It's not a deep pensive movie - I don't think it was meant to be. Hey, it's Summer when life is free & easy.

Sophie - the girl getting married the story centered around , looks adorably healthy .
It was wonderful to see one of the Hollywood's youth that looks normal
and not like one of the Olsen twins.
No bones about it!

What I really enjoyed was the visual aspects of the movie.
Vibrant gleaming colors of the beautiful Greek landscapes.
The water was beyond the bluest blue.

The the background cast also reflected a range of hues.
Very reflective of Greece.

EASY BREEZY SUMMER LOOKS

The outfits wore by the character Sophia were super cute !
Her tops were embroidered peasant
style wore with rolled up jean shorts and sneakers!
Even the background players were wearing sneaks !
-- Sneaks with flossy short shirts
-- Sneaks with long flowing dresses
So comfortable and causal.
The wedding party seemed to be wearing light colored shapeless sheer nightgowns over lace camis.
To produced a more shapely garment -- pastel ribbons were tied at the waist.
What a simple Summer idea !
I think I am going to try that look!

The outfits were all CURVYGIRL FRIENDLY

Right now , I am researching how you the CURVYGIRL can re-create some of the outfits of the movie.
I am NOT talking about the flashback 80's deals!
