West Wing Wednesday: It's Christmas Eve!

I posted this one before, but it takes place during Christmas so I'm posting it again. Plus, I really like it. (Leo!!!!)

Fashion Portraiture

Sorry to break the movie chain, but I found an interesting New York Times article about street style blogs and their growing popularity. It also talks about two of my favorite blogs: The Sartorialist and Garance Dore'. Both photograph exceptionally stylish people from around the world and Paris (respectively). The photography though is not just your typical point and shoot. Thought is given to composition, lighting, etc. It's all very inspiring and makes me want to gallavant around Europe in awesome clothes. So, if you are interested in fashion or portraiture, I suggest you check them out.

Milk

Since we're talking about movies, I really want to see Milk. It's based on the life of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He and San Francisco mayor George Moscone were assassinated by former San Francisco Supervisor Dan White on November 27, 1978.

Tim Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND

So, I'm pretty sure I've been telling everyone I know about this since I first heard about it a year ago. But, in case you aren't yet aware,

TIM BURTON IS DIRECTING AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND MOVIE TO BE RELEASED IN 2010.

Yes, you should be pretty freakin' excited.

I can't find a complete cast list anywhere but IMDB, so I guess we'll assume it's mostly accurate for the moment. As anyone could have predicted, Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter. So that should be good. Helena Bonham Carter (groan, but I can live with it) is also in it. IMDB lists her as the Red Queen (which is a chess piece character in Through the Looking-Glass), but I wonder if she is actually the Queen of Hearts (different character).

I am the most excited, however, about Alan Rickman as the caterpillar! His voice is perfect! Yay!

The rest of the cast list---

	Mia Wasikowska	...	Alice
other cast:
	Johnny Depp	...	The Mad Hatter
	Anne Hathaway	...	The White Queen
	Michael Sheen	...	The Cheshire Cat
	Helena Bonham Carter	...	The Red Queen
	Alan Rickman	...	Caterpillar
	Crispin Glover	...	The Knave of Hearts
	Christopher Lee
	Eleanor Tomlinson	...	Fiona Chataway
	Matt Lucas	...	Tweedledee / Tweedledum
	Frances de la Tour	...	Aunt Imogene
	Jemma Powell	...	Margaret Kingsley
	Tim Pigott-Smith
	Geraldine James	...	Lady Ascot (rumored)

Anne Hathaway? Not sure how I feel about that.
Michael Sheen was Lucian in Underworld. Should be good for the Cheshire cat.

Supposed pic of Depp as the Hatter (looks pretty awesome):


Here's Alice...



She's Australian. I personally think she looks too old for the part (Alice is supposed to be 7), but it could be a good choice if the movie aims to be darker and sexier. I like her clothes.

So.... continue to be super effing excited about this film!!!_!@#@#W!

Joss Whedon + Crafts = Awesome

Take two really awesome things, Joss Whedon and arts/crafts. Combine them and what do you get? This interview with Joss Whedon about crafts and the roles they play in his series.

Some highlights?

"I'm aware of the desperate rivalry between the knitters and the crocheters. And, you know, first of all I have to say: can't there be peace? ... It's an age-old war. Like the werewolves and the vampires. I think Underworld was actually originally about crocheters and knitters but they thought it would be too controversial so they changed it to vampires and werewolves."

"I'm crafty in the sense that I'm duplicitous and evil."

"My whole thought was that Jayne was your classic bad-guy mercenary type, and I thought this is the one guy who does not have a tortured past, who has a decent, hard-working family, who just, you know, this was his career choice and the idea of him getting a letter from mom that he struggles to read, and the knitted hat, was— it just felt so right. It felt very, very him and very human and then of course I saw the hat with its flaps and its pom pom, and I just couldn't have been happier."

"Obviously decoupaging is too racy for Fox. So, I mean, they couldn't allow that."

For Christine:

Found a vintage clothing website in case you wanted some ideas for your next dress. Or for us lazy bums, pretties that we will never actually sew. Here.

Yay Louisiana?

Guess what, guys? We live in the unhealthiest state in the US. Surprising? Not really. Usually this honor is given to Mississippi, but this year we beat them. Keep up the good work everyone!

Mu, Mu Muuuu Mumu.

For all of you who have ever "mu"-ed or "eeeee"-ed, I present to you this webcomic. Enjoy. :P
