Blast from the Past

We've recently aquired an old TV/VCR combo from a great aunt of ours and I must say, having a VCR in the house again opens up so many options for movie watching! Now I can watch my old disney favourites that we haven't quite managed to find on DVD yet and better yet, I can watch our old family videos.

I'm so conceited though, I only like watching the parts with me in it. And who wouldn't? I was the cutest little girl ever. Don't believe me? BAM! Look at that face! Who could possibly resist those chubby wittle cheeksies! Such a cutie pie...

Along with watching some old family favourites with our VCR, we've also been watching a lot of old movies. You know, the classics like My Fair Lady and Gone with the Wind. This has been my first time watching these movies and they're great!


We watched My Fair Lady first and I loved it. The songs were great and I loved Audrey Hepburn. And oh my word, the costumes!! They were faaaabulous.

The dress she wore to the ball was utterly stunning. If I could have a wedding dress similar to that one, I would be a happy girl.

My favourite scene would have to be the one where they are at the races. I love how every action was perfectly choreographed to reflect how everything the upper classes do is perfectly choreographed to some unwritten social protocol. I also loved it when Professor Higgins was introducing Eliza to everyone and she said, "How do you do" perfectly. I don't know what it is, but I just love how she said it! =3


We watched Gone with the Wind the other night and it was so long! The story was alright, but I could not stand Scarlet O'Hara. She was such a selfish brat. But the dresses were fun to watch.

The red dress she wears to Ashley Wickes' birthday party was pretty dang hot. And you know, I'm not normally into moustache guys, but Rhett Butler could certainly work the stache quite nicely. I don't see why Scarlet was so in love with Ashley when she had a guy like Rhett chasing after her, I would have totally taken Rhett!


Okay now I'm curious, out of Clark Gable (Rhett Butler) and Tom Selleck, who has the better moustache?
