A Naughty Fairytale



Some more Ellen Von Unwerth. This is a little film she did for Vs. magazine. I love that she sticks to the tried and true formula of very pretty + very raunchy, and this one is definitely is no exception ♥

Ellen Von Unwerth for Lavazza


I am still really in love with this campaign that Ellen Von Unwerth did for Lavazza in 2006. It stars the incomparably beautiful Charlotte Kemp Muhl (aka Sean Lennon's girlfriend) as an innocent, clumsy, pure Bombshell of an air hostess. I remember receiving a loyalty card from some cafe at my University when I was in first year, and it had this photo of Charlotte (above) displayed on the front, and I pretty much fell for her saucer-sized doe eyes then and there.

The campaign was turned into a calendar for Lavazza, and also features a whole swag of sexy ladies all dolled-up like 1960's flight attendants/pilots/engineers. I don't know what else to say about this campaign other than it is absolutely perfect and I don't think I'll ever get over my true love for it.

Pink lady



The original Pink Lady.. Frenchie! And this clip is actually in French, so it is quite fitting (it was the best quality one.. not a statement of any sort.. I swear!).

Anyway, I wish I had the balls to dye my hair pink. I've wanted to for a while but my hair is verging on black, so that would be some heavy maintenance bleach they'd have to strip my hair with, and then I'd get awful regrowth, and then my hair would probably snap off from all the bleach anyway..  In other words it would be a disaster, just like most of my hair-changing endeavours.

I'd like it to be a really, really soft pink (as opposed to a hot pink), in an attempt to class up the pink hair (as in: hopefully it wouldn't clash with everything I would wear?), but I'd also like to wear flowers in my hair every day and sparkles on my face and get tiny little different coloured heart tattoos on different parts of my body all over (nothing risque, like maybe one on my arm somewhere, one on my back, one behind my ear or something..) but I don't think people as a general whole would take too kindly to that look, in fact with the sort of 60's-ish vibe I try to go for it would more or less look like I was a space alien (or Jane Jetson from The Jetsons to be exact) or permanently on drugs, with my falling-out broken bleached re-growth pink hair which would probably be fading at the ends.. And I would probably be pretty hard to take seriously, like in a work environment, and I'm forgetting that I also have the darkest eyebrows in the world which would clash horribly with the baby pink dye.. So that would be quite horrific.

But in a perfect world that's what I'd like to do.
