DANCES WITH WO...BEARS

I'm not sure, but yeah I'm pretty sure this is the best thing I've seen since the actually saw Fred Astaire dancing in Top Hat. Well its only January, but already the great actor Eddie Redmayne gets the prize for biggest sport of the year/best person. BLESS HIS COTTON SOCKS, its like Vanity Fair watched interveiws and thought hmmm one thing Eddie hates/ claims to have 2 left feet, dancing....DING! Lets make him Fred Astaire ahahaha He really gets into character though and hides his fear well. WELL DONE!

Click here to watch the video on Vanity Fair. 

I normally do an anual post of Fringer anyway, its no secret that I get swept off my feet chills when I watch them. Recntly went to go see Top Hat at the Alywich Theatre which was spectacular, there is something about 50-odd people tapdancing on a stage that is just magic.I thought I would post a few uncut image/video moodboards I did for  project for the label CHLOE. 

I did cut them together with all the good bits but can't find them right now, so these are just all the funkys.

L.A. BLUES

the best things...happen while we're dancing

Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire - Top Hat 1935



I am very disappointed in myself when I say that Top Hat is the first Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire film I've seen. Considering my childhood of old films and musicals, it seems almost impossible. Now I know what 'Fred and Ginger' means, I feel like I've discovered a whole knew world...and since this 'world' includes nine other toe-tapping movies to feed my knew obsession the couple will probably become a regular on this here blog.

Just look at these pictures, you don't get anything as wonderful as that anymore. That dress, designed by Rogers herself, so that it would emphasise her movement in just the right way, that is what fashion is about. The talent of this pair is astonishing in this day and age. Although it did bear resemblance to a fabulous dress I wore on a shoot for an equally fabulous designer/person Thidarat Kaha, who constructed the dress out of human hair and extensions, so I felt like a mix of Ginger Rogers and Maryann Forrester from True Blood.
