Only Fred needs a little lesson from Angie on PPL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109240 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 22:41:44 +0000 chewyspaghetti 109240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I am the first one to post an outfit. Like I said in my earlier post, my favorite holiday film is Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. My inspiration is Fred in general, but also specifically his outfit from the 4th of July dance scene- which is featured in this video:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlgAj_29Z7U" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlgAj_29Z7U</a><br /> Here's my outfit:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/4159002194/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....159002194/</a><br /> what do you think?<br /> I can't wait to see everyone else's outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109199 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:39:23 +0000 Vani 109199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I am so excited about Alice In Wonderland! All the sneak peaks make it look so promising. I'm not a big fan of the batman movies he directed (too cartoon-y less comic book-y) but Mars Attacks was hilarious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109198 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:36:19 +0000 Vani 109198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, to be honest I really have not seen many traditional Christmas movies. All my favourite movies are essentially classics, TCM is my favourite TV channel (is it still around?) and The Philadelphia story is perhaps my all time fav movie. I think I may have even seen every John Wayne, Jim Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy etc.. movie out there, but somehow the Xmas movies have always eluded me. </p> <p>Ele, the backdrop for Die Hard (part one) is a christmas eve party at a swanky hotel. Lots of funny, witty Bruce Willis style quips on life, love and Christmas One of my personal fav Bruce Willis movies too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109196 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:21:03 +0000 Ele 109196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Possibly stupid question coming from someone who's never seen Die Hard, but seriously? I never thought of this film as having anything to do with Christmas!</p> <p>I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for this, especially since our fave films are all so varied. Still stumped on what to do with mine... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109193 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:34:56 +0000 chewyspaghetti 109193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm more traditional I guess. My favorite Christmas move is Holiday Inn. I have an idea, but it may take me a while to get it done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109182 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:39:26 +0000 Louise 109182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya i think it's pink all the way!

They had the actual handwritten pages from his movie screenplays and dozens of sketches that would later be turned into movie characters. It felt so amazing to see these exclusive, intimate works and little treasures from his movies. I am going back at LEAST two more times. I wish I could have taken pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109135 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:35:27 +0000 Debora 109135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just wondering if anyone will show up wearing Ralphie's pink bunny pajamas from "A Christmas Story" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109132 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:24:06 +0000 Vani 109132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I envy you! I was reading about the exhibit in the Wired magazine. I'm amazed the guy started thinking about Edward Scissorhands since he was 13! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109120 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 03:27:25 +0000 Maya 109120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already have an outfit planned for TNBC! I have been on a Tim Burton kick ever since going to the outstanding exhibit at MoMA last weekend. Will definitely be doing this challenge (and probably wearing my outfit for Christmas).</p> <p>Lousie, I hope you're googling Miss Piggy images! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109119 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 03:23:24 +0000 Vani 109119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROFL! Angie, I just came here to post if I was weird that Die Hard is my favourite Christmas movie!! Along with "The Shop Around the Corner" and "Home Alone". Wifebeater, jeans and bib necklace it is, ha ha! A little smokey eye perhaps. You would look absolutely smashing Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109106 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:38:24 +0000 Angie 109106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May favourite Xmas movie is Die Hard. Now THAT would be tricky. Wifebeater, jeans and a bib necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109077 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:25:19 +0000 Louise 109077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehehehe thanks for the tips, like the dickensian theme x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109075 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 21:30:25 +0000 RoseandJoan 109075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, Miss Piggy is THE ultimate style icon, she will karate chop you if you disagree.</p> <p>I am such a traditionalist, I love Bing Crosby in White Christmas, so I'm thinking of a winter white theme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109065 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 21:13:18 +0000 hanna 109065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>louise, i love ele's idea of taking both the dickensian theme and the muppets together! there are humans in those stories too, after all... ;)</p> <p>ele -- i am partial to this challenge because i love the degree of freedom in interpretation there is to it! one of my favorite challenges is still the "picture perfect" challenge, because so many people drew such different inspiration from just one picture. i think it's cool to "see" what they see, so to speak.</p> <p>and yes -- we can ABSOLUTELY use this to brainstorm. i'm at work right now, but i shall have a good ponder over Meet Me in St Louis and get back to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109055 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:17:18 +0000 Ele 109055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really intrigued by this one, and think it could be super fun. But- can we use this thread to help each other brainstorm? Some of our favourite movies are looking quite tricky! </p> <p>Hanna- For Nightmare Before Christmas, I'm seeing lots of black (obviously) in a gothic, romantic sort of look- but then with a cute, "pop-y" element, if that makes sense. No idea for the others- too long since I've seen them! </p> <p>Louise- Well, you could take your main inspiration from the time period and the moody, Dickens storyline. And then add some cute, bright, puppet-worthy accessories? Haha- I really have no idea! </p> <p>Ok, my favourite Christmas movie is Meet Me in St. Louis. I know it's not technically a holiday movie, but it was always on TV in December when I was growing up, and there is that fabulous scene after the Christmas ball. Any ideas for that one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109039 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 19:29:14 +0000 Louise 109039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This could be tricky to interpret The Muppets Christmas carol!!!!!!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylk-challenge-2-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas#post-109020 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:47:18 +0000 hanna 109020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is the second challenge being issued to the forum this week! please feel free to participate in both, or either, or just give the ones who are participating the feedback and encouragement we love you for -- we welcome your participation in any way :).</p> <p>challenge #2 is designed to help build up your holiday spirit! your challenge is to be inspired by your favorite holiday movie. come up with, and post, an outfit based on that movie -- either by a particular character, the general mood of the film, a color combination, a moving scene -- whatever floats your boat. </p> <p>the idea is to help you hone that idea of finding inspiration anywhere... plus, come on, doesn't that sound like a christmas project that's a little more fun than wrapping dozens of presents? :P</p> <p>remember, no YLF challenge will ever require you to buy anything new... but at the same time, try to step out of your box, and try not to shirk away from something that seems difficult. my favorite holiday movies are the animated 'how the grinch stole christmas,' the charlie brown christmas special, and 'the nightmare before christmas' -- how i'm going to interpret any of those i'm not entirely sure, but try to embrace the challenge!</p> <p>let me know if you have any questions; otherwise, feel free to start posting outfits on this thread as soon as you like! have fun! </p>
