LANTANA



My quest for all things Geoffrey Rush moves forward with Lantana. 

A wise Rusie commented one time that these blog post's are a Rushie's P.O.V {point of view} and I agree. Its quickly becoming a study of the man's performances and his face, pushing the RushOlogy Study forward.

By no means am I the ultimate Rushie because I have met more dedicated ones. 
Also by no means are these blog posts meant to be hard driven reviews of his work. They are just my musing's and they make me happy to ramble on about. 

When I first watched Lantana I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who did what and what happened.  

Mr. Rush does not have a lot of action in this movie, but I still managed to get quite of few pictures from him. 

With A LOT of his work under my belt I have noticed a couple of things about him.

In "almost" all of his movies the man is either dying or having sex. 
His list of conquests in the bed out weigh a lot of hot male actors now a days!
Believe it or not.

 

He really does have a cute butt, sorry Mr. Rush - I'm Just Saying!

 

The reason for this post is to point out the freckles on his back. Not her face so much.

 

 So I leave you with that and I will move on to the next film.

I'll close this with a small shout out for all of my fellow Rushies at The Geoffrey Rush Fan Club.

Another Thrift Store Haul & Styling Video

Goodwill has dollar days which are days where certain tags colors are a buck. This means its packed and you got to dive in. Plan on spending a couple hours too! I spent $50 on all of the things I got, some items where regular price and some where $1. You know how it goes all the cute stuff is regular price - not that that's too bad in a Goodwill.  So I leave you with the video for now.

FYI I have FaceBook and have been more active on it vs. Twitter as of late. Matter of fact I posted a quick OOTD shot on FaceBook I mean FoxBook  today for one of the dress's.

Now A Warning:
As of late my computer has been frustratingly temperamental. Its been getting slower and freezing a lot! Its 5 or so years old and its time to get a new one but that won't be anytime soon. I could be looking at simpler projects that are quick to get uploaded with minimal editing OR not being able to get anything up. So if you see a break in my activity - now you know why.

DIY Fashion Accessory - RePurpuse / ReVamp Knit Gloves





You Will Need The Following


1/2 Yard of fabric 
Pair of knit gloves
Needle and thread, scissors
Tailors chalk
Sewing machine OR lots of time to hand sew


Start with folding your fabric in half so that you will have two squares when you cut. 
Measure out a 12/12 square of fabric. Cut on the bias [turn fabric to the side about a 45 degree angle] This creates stretch in the fabric, which you will need when sewing it to a stretchy knit glove.





Take one square fold it over in half wrong side facing out. Pin it down and sew it. You will end up with a long rectangle tube. 


Begin to fold the tube back onto itself, now you have a little tube and the pattern is facing the right side - the side you see.

Grab the tube and open it up raw edges at the top. Take your glove, slip it in and pin the seam of your fabric to the bottom of the glove. This insures that the seam will remain somewhat hidden and give you a nice finish. Also make sure to keep track of your left hand and right hand, thumbs up. Add one more pin to hold it into place.





Take the fabric and glove to a machine. Use the arm to stretch the glove over it and begin sewing slowly and carefully. If you hand sew, make sure your stretching the glove as you go.


Once you have sewed all the way around slip on and flip the cuff up.


Project complete.


Now that I have shown you the basics its up to you to personalize this project. Consider using a different color for your glove and a contrasting fabric. Also there are a million colors and fabrics out there - you can find one that suits your mood & your friends =]






Until next time my friends,
