The Pink Bag --Dior Ads keep coming! Pencil and Watercolor

I have been really cranking at my art.  Fashion Ads have been my inspiration of late.  Well, it kind of makes sense as I am an alum of Fashion Institute of Technology (Marketing) and was taught to look at the big ads in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and W Magazine to get a sense of what's hot.  The last two weeks nothing really struck me.  The Michelle Williams Red Louis Vitton Bag ad was so perfect that nothing compared. 

There have been other dynamic and striking ads from Chanel with those crazy sock shoes, which I kind of love!

But this ad, with Jennifer Lawrence with a balletslipper pink bag that brings out the pink in her skin caught my attention.  It's the opposite of the Red Bag. Softness and light, but intense.  Vulnerability  in her near nakedness, yet fierceness in her short spiky hair and her near nakedness make it a softly bold statement.

Having fun with art.  It's been a stress reliever of late.  You can't suppress emotions; they need to come out. Out they come with art!

Gravity was a big Lead Balloon!

Jet packing around like Jimmy Neutron, spinning and tumbling and latching onto Space Station bars and handles like it's Monkey Bars on a playground made the whole movie seem  so, well, ridiculous. Sandra Bullock's character should have barfed, blacked out, and totally freak out ten times over.  George Clooney's character was just that, a character who told stories and was there solely to keep Sandra calm until he gives up and drifts away in space way too early in the movie. 

He let's go.  I kept wondering, where is the story? When is the story going to kick in?  When is this going to stop feeling like the most improbable situation ever?  She is going to jump in one pod and jet over to another space station, damaged by more space junk.  No problem.  It's like hopping in a car and driving to one exit to the next. I am sorry. But this movie was so stupid.

I didn't buy into it for one second.  I'm stunned that it won any awards.

Uch.  So disappointed. 

Next choice, Philomena.  I really wanted to see this movie, but family voted for Gravity.

Philomena tonight. I love Judi Dench, and have a feeling I'll be a Steve Coogan fan soon enough.
