'You know, sometimes when a person don't know what to do, the best thing is to just stand still.' - Gay Langland, The Misfits
Cotton/linen jeans: Thrifted
Silk blouse: Gap
Belt: Thrifted
Leather moccasins: Clarks
Since my love letter to The Misfits a week ago I've been poring over the clothes Marilyn wore in the film and daydreaming about wearing something similar myself, whilst riding through the Nevada desert on a pretty brown horse. Ignoring the fact I can't ride a horse (I can only ride elephants), and definitely don't live in Nevada; even if I could, looking quite as glamourous in the process would be sort of difficult considering I am possibly the clumsiest person in the world. During this shoot, for example, I tipped my tripod over four times, got cuts on my feet, grass stains all over my knees, too many nettle stings to count and the two braids I carefully placed in my hair lasted all of about two minutes.
It was still a really nice way to spend some time 'standing still' though, and I could almost pretend I had been transported back to 1961 and was waiting in Nevada for Clarke Gable to turn up and sweep me off my moccasin'd feet!

hi, great blog! hope your clark gable will come
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos - your blouse is so pretty and I think your hair looks great. And I suspect that if you can ride an elephant - amazing!- you can probably manage a horse. So don't give up on the nevada dream!
ReplyDeletethis pictures were awesome, dear :)
ReplyDeleteabout the elephant thing... god, that is really impresive :) I agree with jane, i don't think ridding a horse is harder than an elephant :)
have a great day <3

ReplyDeleteHello Becky!
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say hello!
looks like we share we two things in common!
I've always wanted to learn how to play the cello, also mushroom!
Just got me a little book on non-florwing plants about mushrooms & ferns etc.
You are a wonderful writer. As for me English is a second if not a third language for me. I'm just trying my best while I read lots of books to better my writting skills.
Have a great rest of the day.
Sincerely,
Fabiola "Fab"
I love the silk blouse and of course you look stunning!
