Down the Rabit Hole, Through the glass elevator, Follow the Yellow Brick Road

I love it when fashion stories adopt a timeless story and the clothes are inspired by them. Some of my favourites have been Keira Knightley as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and Rachel Weisz as Snow White, both for a shoot with American Vogue. The whimsical and quirky Roald Dahl-inspired shoot in Vogue '08. Then also Alice in Wonderland which provides an endless source on inspiration and has been reworked in Vogue Italia with Amanda Seyfried last year and Natalia Vodianova in 2003 with various designers cameo-ing as the various wierd and wonderful characters. Something that has a great narrative and is an interpretation inspired by something that's already so great.

Tim Burton: through the looking glass into Wonderland

I seriously cannot wait for this film. To see Tim Burton take on one of my favourite stories with a cast including Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Stephen Fry is bound to be immense. I'm anticipating it's release in 2010. This must be how Twilight fans feel whenever a new movie's coming out.

Everything can be resolved with a cup of tea

I think the english must have Earl Grey running through their veins instead of blood. The amount of tea we drink is quite laughable. My taste buds aren't sophisticated enough to enjoy coffee and even on the tea front I can't keep down fruit tea, mint tea or green tea (I discovered this after a violent rejection to some in Morroco a few years ago) but I never say no to a good ole cup o' PG Tips with a bit of milk and lots of sugar. Whenever one of my friends is upset or whenever I'm feeling maudlin there always seems to be tea involved in the healing process (I know what you're thinking, we're oh-so Rock n' Roll). Most of the time all we're drinking is stained hot water but as Benjamin BUtton says: "Where I come from, folks just like it to be hot". Amen to that.
