Hey there Little Red Riding Hood

You sure are looking good.

This is from Alexander McQueen's Fall/Winter 2007 collection, and I'm pretty sure I could pull this off. I hope hope hope she's got some awesome thigh-high boots on under there, or leather pants. So cute.

So I left you high and dry after telling you how Tolkien changed my life. Here's how it happened: January? Work work work. February: Oh no, my contract finished up earlier than expected, what will I do? I am still in the midst of that but working through it.

By that I mean that I need my dream job to fall into my lap. Anytime, universe! My lap is ready!

Before I get off topic here, I have to admit that while I have yet to see Red Riding Hood, I do have a sort of guilty love of Amanda Seyfried's version of Sam the Sham and the Pharoah's L'il Red Riding Hood. The violins in the background are a bit much for me. I sort of wish it was just a nice acoustic thing, but I still do like it. Have a listen.

  4. Alexander McQueen was the only designer I ever obsessed over. He wasn't afraid to depict the dark side as well as the bright, half his models looked like fairy tale princesses and the other half looked like villains. The world lost some of it's magic with him. I watched the Red Riding Hood movie and I thought it was ok. Most people that I've talked to about it think it was either too creepy or not creepy enough. I agree with both. I feel like they where trying to stay too close to the middle of the road to satisfy either group.
