Zou Bisou Bisou

Happy Mad Men day! I'm very excited for the events, clothing, hair and makeup of this season (in no particular order).

But really this will be the highlight.

I found love in the Fall and it did not hurt at all

I've been doing a lot of early morning and late night TV watching lately, due to not feeling the greatest. But as a result, I was reminded of this lovely Free Design song in the form of this video! I love the nostalgic animation and illustration style and think it suits the song perfectly. It just has a really nice feeling to it!

"I'm here because I was in the comic book."

I used to collect the "Josie and the Pussycats" comics, and watch the show all the time! I also have a great love for the 2001 movie and soundtrack, that only seems to grow stronger as I get older. Everyone is so quotable, and it doesn't help that I (not so) secretly covet their hair and wardrobe...

The Vintage Cottage, In Bruges, Weeds, Friends, Whole Wheat Berry Pancakes, Various Tumblr...

Button Moon

Be your black swan, black swan

I was already pretty excited for the movie 'Black Swan', but these Art Deco style posters make it look even better!

Also, I am not usually a very angry person but the fact that they are officially remaking Buffy into a movie makes me outraged!I really feel like I should be holding a rally or something...

"Mona, you told me you were in a coma"

Today I saw 'Dinner for Schmucks', which was pretty funny and cute for a few reasons, but mainly because of 'mouseterpieces' and Jemaine Clement's presence! I had no idea that he was in the movie but got so excited when I saw his name in the opening credits. I have been missing Flight of the Conchords lately, after watching some reruns the other night, and this only made me miss the show more.

I got the impression he was channeling and/or parodying Russell Brand the whole time haha. I quite like all of these actors so this is funny:



I watched this episode the other night and it reminded me of you. And isn't Bret just the cutest?! Missing him so much. I can only dream of having such sweet dance moves.

Cliffs are for climbing, Lenny!

Today I went to the Ottawa antique market for the first time. Have you ever been there? I found a few very nice things, albeit typically overpriced. There was a lovely handmade 60's ballet dress that I was dying to own or at least take photos of, but the rude vendor and the fact that I have no knowledge of my own wedding in the near future made me decide against it. I also fell quite in love with a mint green milkshake mixer...Overall it was a pretty nice place to check out.


...That's why God gave us grappling hooks.
Now I am at home eating carrots and watching 'Due South'. I was probably a bit too overjoyed when I discovered that a channel was still airing it haha. I haven't seen it in years. It is just packed with one inspirational quote after another! Not to mention the car chase scenes with obvious green screen usage, the dog, and the costumes! In this episode they are undercover as typical used car salesmen, with slick hair and Hawaiian shirts. What a perfectly Canadian show this is, haha.

Actually I wish that Canada was more like it in some ways. I'm sure that having a Fraser around patrolling could solve a lot of problems!

"Is your green army jacket the only thing keeping you warm tonight?"

Can you believe that its been exactly 10 years since 'Freaks and Geeks' ended? I will truly never get tired of this show, and I love it more every time I rewatch it! If I am feeling a bit down all I have to do is watch a scene at random, notably 'Carlos the Dwarf' from Discos and Dragons, Bill's dancing, or Daniel and Harris' pep talk. I think that this article puts the coolness of this show into perspective quite well, and frankly makes me miss it even more!

Umm, how about those outfits? Photo credit unknown...

Shut the Door, Have a Seat

Only 2 weeks until Mad Men comes back! Its so exciting, and I've really been enjoying reading these style profiles in anticipation of the new season. They document all of the women, including secondary characters, detailing what each outfit symbolizes about them and their situation at the time. I find it quite interesting, as I'm finding out things that I may have overlooked or forgotten. For example, Jane had an eating disorder?

They really go into the character backgrounds and history of the era. I feel like I'm learning so much more about each of them through clothing analysis, haha.

"I am a waiter like Einstein was a patent clerk!"

I've been very sad for the past couple of days, as my favorite show on TV at the moment has been canceled. Apparently my life revolves around such things! Party Down is so good, and I've spent the last 5 months or so telling everyone I know and meet in passing to watch it in fear that this day would come. Its too bad, really. This show had so many funny actors and guest stars on it that we otherwise don't get to see. (ie: Martin Starr,Steve Guttenburg! ha) Everyone on it is so good. I also really enjoyed the web show-esque production value it had. The fact that it aired on Starz definitely allowed for all odds to be against it. Who gets Starz, really? They should just make it into an actual webshow seeing as most people probably watch it online anyways!
