Last night I read a brief little Q&A with January Jones in Vanity Fair. First, I have to comment on the photos of females in Vanity Fair- they are simply put, awesome. They have a wonderful way of making a women extremely feminine and girly- there is always a vintage, 'Vargaesque' feeling to the photographs- 'done' hair, matted red lipstick, ruffles and polka dots. I like how girly, sexy and cheerful they make a girl. Anyhow, it was interesting that she had said she cannot relate at all to her character Betty Draper on Mad Men and I could understand. I have never been one to get caught up in a tv 'show'- save for an American Idol or a Project Runway type of show- as I find well written dialogue that makes me get hooked, rare. I don't know, just my sensibilities. But Mad Men, I think, is pretty brilliant- there is something about the male/ female relationships, the time period that is all at once attractive and repulsive. I sometimes think how nice it would be to live in a simpler world where men kinda man handled their women a little, took care of things financially- but at the same time, it is almost shocking and degrading to watch. January said she sometimes actually feels physical nausea delivering some of her lines or has a hard time keeping a straight face. I can understand this- I feel irritated sometimes when I watch the male/female interaction in this show and realize we've come a long way- I hope. I think it is one of the best shows that has come along in a long time.
Hmm...Outside of that, New York has been terribly cold. 18 some odd degrees walking to work this morning. I am a summer girl, by many miles- could live in a bikini or go naked -and the Winter has always been my least favorite. Despite this, I have learned to roll with it, except when it is this cold, I just find it so uneccessary. I look forward to the 30 degrees it is suppose to be towards mid week. This will feel almost balmy at this point.
That's all- just random thoughts of a freezing Wednesday morning.
Hope you have a good day. xoxo
About Me
- *TRENNY*
- I'm Trenny and my philosophy is rather simple-I believe there are only 2 forces in this world, Love or Fear. My goal is to try to see things through the eyes of love, but I am fallible and do not always succeed. My professional career at the moment is that of a fashion stylist in New York,but my interests are varied. This blog is the like a blog ‘magazine/newspaper/journal', where I’ve combined all the elements of things that I love to learn through those mediums myself. Some life journaling, lots of music. A little health, natural product talk and recipe sharing. Random musings on life experiences, a little style, art and humour. Environment issues too as nature is our greatest gift. I hope it teaches you something, makes you laugh, or gets you interested in something different. If it fires you up,I welcome learning all different points of view. I hope that what I share, including my mistakes, encourages you. *In the end, I believe we are all each other's teachers, so whatever you might be inspired to say/share with me through this blog- good and bad- I fully welcome it. I learn just as much from you. Happiness and Love xoxo TrennyLynn - trennylynn@gmail.com
