V

Love this from V is for Vendetta.

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villian by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. (he carves a "V" into a sign) The only verdict is vengence; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. (giggles) Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey: Are you like a crazy person?

V: I'm quite sure they will say so.

Art Nouveau in We're Back

Art nouveau. My interest in it actually began with the LOTR Trilogy, particularly Arwen's room and Rivendell in general, but the pics online of it aren't very clear. Will post later on that, but for the present, I think these shots from We're Back give a nice example of the style that I like a lot.

Liv Tyler Very Irresistible Perfume

Lovely perfume. I adore Liv Tyler's acting in Lord of the Rings and the scent of Very Irresistible seems like something Arwen would wear. It's rich, captivating and feminine.

Very Irrésistible Givenchy
An homage to Givenchy's early days when fashion and cinema were intertwined, Very Irrésistible Givenchy, unites the elegant tradition of French style with the energy and pop-culture pizzazz of American film. Bursting with roses and infused with star anise, and verbena leaf, Very Irrésistible Givenchy is a fresh departure from the traditional floral fragrance.

Notes:
Centifolia Rose, Peony Rose, Fantasia Rose, Passion Rose, Emotion Rose, Verbena Leaf, Star Anise.
Style:
Vibrant. Brilliant. Captivating.

North Pole Breakfast

Just a thought. This is probably something the little she-elf from The Santa Clause would serve up at the North Pole for breakfast. Yes, it's official, I have the Christmas bug:)

Peppermint sticks dipped in white chocolate covered in nonpareils. Delightful.

Holiday-themed Starbucks is a bright spot in the year for me. I look forward to the unique flavors and creative packaging with kid-like giddy-ness. It's ridiculous that a coffee shop could inspire such excitement, but it does.

This pic is from elsiecake. Ahhh, iced coffee. Caffeine.

Just the thing to get this little guy out of bed:)
