More Eye Candy

 Yesterday I shared some favorite images from

Marie Antoinette by Sofia Copolla.

Perusing them takes you back in time

Things may change but they also stay the same

We all have our responsibilities and expectations

We all dream of contentment and happiness 

Sometimes situations seem to be better...

...than they actually are...

...and sometimes we all wish to escape.

Sometimes we all feel dispare...

...and overwhelmed by life

...and sometimes we all just want to stay in bed,

forget it all,

cuddle with someone we love,

and skip the day

No one understands my ills,

nor the terror that fills my breast,

who does not know the heart of a mother.

~Marie Antoinette

 We all feel these things...even a queen.

She was such a beauty and so very young.

Her life was a fascinating 

point in history 

I was a queen,

and you took away my crown;

a wife,

and you killed my husband;

a mother,

and you deprived me of my children.

My blood alone remains:

take it,

but do not make me suffer long. 

~Marie Antoinette 

Eye Candy

Marie Antoinette

You've got to love a good period movie...

Hair piled high and falling in curls...

Beautiful fabrics playing with light... 

Palest of skin...perfect, without flaw

Captivating the mystery of history

Enticing the media with it's eye candy

Fans, feathers, feminity...woohoo

Girl time. Girl talk.

Let's not forget those shoes...

Lots and lots of shoes.

Gorgeous, one-of-a kind shoes.. 

Did anyone else see these converse sneakers under the table?

I thought I was seeing things at first...

and then I found this image...

Sofia is toying with us girls.

I covet the fans.

They are gorgeous!

Can't you just see me chasing the toddlers

around the house with my fan to cool off?

It could work...

I might as well have a few petticoats

 too to go with them...

I'll skip the table of sweets,

but a maid would be a sweet treat occasionally

Enough said.

Love the blue ribbons

Blue room

Dripping gold

Crystal chandeliers

Yards and yards of fabulous fabrics

I love this movie for the images

and all the thoughts and feelings they

conjure up within me

A magical time in history in many ways

What do you think?
