JULIANNE MOORE COVERS T MAGAZINE

Julianne Moore covers New York Times' T Magazine this month, looking stunning as ever.

I've always thought Julianne Moore is an absolute stone fox - remember her in that Bulgari campaign? Ooft. Hard to believe she's 52. Crazy!

I could look at these all day...

Remember when you used to crimp your hair for a night out at the Garage and it'd end up looking like this by the end of the night?

Such a superbabe, and she plays the crazy mum in the new Carrie remake out soon - as if you needed another reason to go see it!

CAN'T REPEAT THE PAST? OF COURSE YOU CAN!

OH MY GOD. Just about wet myself when I saw this new trailer for The Great Gatsby, featuring a new choon from Beyonce and Andre 3000 covering Amy Winehouse's Back to Black.

I mean, can you even take in how amazing that is? Wait till you see/hear it...

I mean...  I just... I can't...

*dies*

Gatsby is a BIG deal. It's a big deal anyway, but it's a big deal to me cos it's MAYBE my favourite book... MAYBE, definitely ONE OF my favourites. Re-reading it now reminds me of all the best bits of University - of being snuggled up in one of the grotty old armchairs in Starbucks on Byres Rd, totally lost in the world of West Egg, pining for Gatsby's redemption and Daisy's green light, welling up and the simplicity and beauty of the language, of chatting to my pals without shame about the BIG FEELS it conjures up, like regret, entrapment, fate, loss, ... Of losing countless hours in that bloody Starbucks when I should have been at lectures, just because I couldn't tear myself away.

In short, I'm into it.

I'm also into this NEW TRAILER! It gives more of the story away though I think, compared to the last two, which is a shame but whatever. How good does that Beyonce/Andre 3000 Back to Black cover sound? I know, right?! Insane! IN FACT, the whole soundtrack looks pretty banging...

• 100$ Bill – JAY Z 
• Back To Black – Beyoncé x André 3000 
• Bang Bang - will.i.am 
• A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got) – Fergie + Q Tip + GoonRock 
• Young And Beautiful – Lana Del Rey 
• Love Is The Drug - Bryan Ferry with The Bryan Ferry Orchestra 
• Over The Love - Florence + The Machine 
• Where The Wind Blows – Coco O. of Quadron 
• Crazy in Love – Emeli Sandé and The Bryan Ferry Orchestra 
• Together – The xx 
• Hearts A Mess - Gotye 
• Love Is Blindness – Jack White 
• Into the Past – Nero 
• Kill and Run - Sia

Oh MAAAAN. Yes to Sia, Jack Black, Flo, XX, Jigga and LDR.

Also recently released are the new posters which are ALSO TOTALLY EPIC. Could this post BE more exciting, Gatsby fans? Enjoy.

MINKPINK ROADTRIP

For their global SS12 campaign, Minkpink have plumped for a super-cute ROADTRIP theme...



..And despite the weird choice of 70s soundtrack (don't get me wrong, I love Boney M but something contemporary would have worked better, no?) I really REALLY like it. The models are just about the cutest things I've ever seen, prancing about, giggling, pulling faces, hanging with Spongebob characters, and, oh yeah, the clothes aren't bad either...

90s style patterns, be mine.

Pastel crochet jumper, swoon!

Althoug I prefer Minkpink when they're doing their whole velvety, 70s, dark-brown, Autumnal thang, this collection has lots of high points - namely the 90s patterned dresses, matching separates and bold bodycon dresses.  A tad young for my taste? Maybe, but overall a good effort from a brand which continues to impress season after season. Plus, I can't get enough of this  ROADTRIP  theme. Strikes me as a cuter, more teen-friendly version of these two videos, no?

Liv, ya fox.



SUCH. A. CLASSIC. Got the VHS buried under a pile of crap in my room somewhere, away to buy the DVD immediately!

OH MY GOD, HE JUST ORDERED A GIANT GLASS OF MILK

Some may argue that July is TOO FREAKIN EARLY to be thinking about Halloween ideas... To them I'd say "blow me, doofus" "Look at me, I'm not even listening to a word you're saying." There is NO SUCH THING as being too prepared for Halloween.

I always get so excited for Halloween but inevitably mess it all up at the last minute. Remember that time I had my Ziggy Stardust costume down to a tee and then stupidly went and broke my toe and couldn't go out? I pulled it back somewhat last year with a solid 6/10 Robin with my shorter, petite-er pal as my Batman... (No, seriously, just picture that for a second. Marie even threw together some home-made KAPOW signs and everything. We made a pretty hilarious pair, which kinda added to the random awesomeness of it all...)

BUT THIS YEAR I'm getting right back on it. I'd been toying with the idea of going for as ENID COLESLAW from Ghost World, but I'd struggled to find the iconic blue Raptor tshirt she wears in the first part of the film and on the dvd cover...

UNTIL NOW! Yeah, I managed to track down an Etsy seller who custom make Enid's EXACT Raptor tee! This has 100% sealed the deal for me...

Ahmahhzing.

Come October ama be channelling my inner sardonic, cynical, bitter-but-totally-awesome teenager. Just need to get myself some cheapo 50s style specs, black bob wig, red bag and green tartan skirt. SORTED!

Enid Coleslaw, you're my hero. Some other awesome Enid looks from the film:

You guys up for some reggae tonight?
