For some reason I associated "breezy" with Holly. I read recently an interesting article about Holly and where she came from and who and "what" she was. Holly gives me feeling of freshness... easiness.. breeziness...
How breezy is she!! I like the way you've made the image come alive outside the box with a transparant extension of the background. And of course - there's a cat! Spiffing!
Oh, VERY nice! She has a smart pose, and I love the Tiffany-blue box behind her. Who says great things only come in small packages? I love the shadows and reflections on the ribbon. And of course, kitty there, all comfy. Makes me want to nap, too. LPs? Dinosaurs!
Ok, I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but who is Holly?
Hey Bella! you got, it! it is definitely Tiffany blue...
and Holly is Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's :D
to me.. well.. she does not look like Audrey Hepburn. She is a boyish-looking type of a Southern girl... Loving the looks of glamorous things, even though she can't afford it :D
LOl, i never watched the movie either (I too prefer Marilyn Monroe). i read the book and recently i stumbled upon an interesting article about Holly, and the locations in New York where the book took place mapped (both real and not)
when I was reading the book, i kept trying to fit the image of Holly that Audrey created and I saw so many times everywhere, in all kinds of magazines and shows. but it just did not fit, at least not for me. and then i just let it go and allowed my mind create what i felt it was supposed to be. and .. here it is.. i just can't remember at the time what color she died her hair to and what color was her cat. and i am just way to lazy to look it up in the book :D
let it be as it is for now. i will most probably change it later

Hahahaha! Ok, I must confess. I've never seen the movie. Watched a lot of Marilyn Monroe and Doris Day movies, but never saw this one.

ReplyDelete(enjoying the compliment. thanx again!)
she is so cool and I really like the old vinyl records by her feet.
ReplyDeleteThanx Amy, I wanted to give her more of a vintage look, she was appearing way too contemporary... but she still is timeless
