nooooooo

why can't people write original movies anymore? the latest movie to fall victim to an (announced) re-make is the 80s classic 'don't tell mom the baby-sitter's dead'. 

obviously it's no 'sixteen candles' and most of the appeal comes from the bad 80s outfits. but why can't these movies just be left alone? i can only imagine how revolting this re make would be-- christina applegate's character will probably design some sort of ed hardy looking line. ugh.

dial up and you'll miss it

so since living out of home i have had pre paid internet, which is a total rip off buuuut convenient in my current situation. however, i have become all too aware that looking at lots of pictures chews up my credit. combined with the end of uni semester i somehow missed knowing about the existence of these balenciaga masterpieces until i saw them in a magazine.

part librarian, part carol brady's kitchen, i am utterly obsessed, yet will no doubt die a little inside if wittner or similar tries to bring out some sort of copy. 

niccy babe, you've done it again.

R.I.P. (thank you for being a friend)

i was so sad to hear today that rue mcclanahan has died, i love the golden girls.
gay demographic aside, the golden girls is a show that nobody of my generation really seemed to get into in australia. probably because (like 'i love lucy') it was never on afternoon tv as re-runs all the time as it is in the states.  of course it is on foxtel now, but everyone seems to think its a dumb show about old ladies and skips right past it, unawares that they're passing up on a truly funny show.

mcclanahan played sassy (i hate that word but she actually was), man-eating (as much as you can be when you're 60) southern belle blanche devereaux.
