what a way to start the new season with a new movie from orpheum...
with great anticipation (4+ from margaret AND david), we stepped into cremourne again to indulge ourselves with a bit of fantasy / reality in "the september issue"...
the verdict: have i just watched a fictional movie? the characters were so OTT, larger than life... one memorable scene involved the multiple, matching, LV tennis accessories paired with a diamond encrusted piaget, all draped over the mountainous body of mr talley - my mouth dropped wide-opened, speechless and astounded by the apparent "thickness / plushness" of the fluffy LV towel around his neck!
I was quote surprise to see quite a number of people at VOGUE without makeup or with minimal and very minimal botox... the look du jour was the ultra skinny, lightly wrinkled (i-have-had-a-ton-of-cigarettes-and-sunbathing-20-yrs-ago look), eyeliner only look... it would help should one have a head full of electric red hair or a taylored bob cut with razor sharp sloping sides...
anna was looking tense throughout the entire length of the feature... she must have had some botox as she should have much more crowsfeet and frownlines... she didn't compare herself well with her father and siblings... she reckoned her family saw her as "frivolous", "amuzing"... may be that was why she always had to appear so "serious" & "restrained"...
grace's creative direction was true mastery and beauty... esp the last "colour block" shoot...
overall it was an 8/10
a bit hyped, but not disappointed (the doco quality of the film suited the small screen better i would think)
the "valentino preview" looked v interesting!
*anna was v uptight, but l loved her dresses! the shape, the colours, the patterns! 50s audrey hepburn silhouette and fur, fur and more fur! she must love the sparkly necklaces - aquamarine? amber? - she had all the colours*
