Feeling the pressure.

Hello!

As the title of this blog post suggests I am feeling the pressure. School is almost over and it is getting harder to focus on it when all I want to do is go to a beach (even though it is ridiculously cold out). I am currently working on my video project for class, as well as a photography project. I'm excited for those. Also I have to write to essays which is not exciting at all. Anyways, enough with the school talk. Here is a drawing of Audrey Hepburn.

That's all folks.

Doctor Who?

I'm back!

After a lovely, freezing holiday in my home town of Thunder Bay I am back with an internet connection and a new obsession. It is a little TV show known as Doctor Who. Perhaps you've heard of it? I decided to watch it finally because I was tired of perusing the "Geek" section on pinterest and not understanding the references. Also, I love Sherlock and it seemed that there was A LOT of cross over between the two fandoms. I don't know why I waited so long. I should have watched it sooner because it's great! I'm currently on season three, but I don't think I will be there for very long. I'm a little afraid to continue because I know that season 4 is emotionally traumatizing. Speaking of emotionally traumatizing... A few other news worthy things that are going on in my life are the third and final episode of Sherlock series three is going to be on tomorrow (I am not prepared) and I am also going to a university run Yule Ball. Wow. I'm really turning into a geek. 

This is a page from my sketchbook that I drew while watching Doctor Who. 

Au Revoir!

Heyyy

Another day has passed and so I have another one of my obsessions to share. I think it's safe to say that I'm just a fangirl at heart. Today (and for the past few years) my obsession is Marie Antoinette. I first discovered who she was when I read one of those Diary of a Princess books that were like fake diary entries about a real historical figures when they were young. I read this book and thought she was so important and classy (this book didn't say that she was beheaded and was really narcissistic and greedy). Then I saw the Sofia Coppola movie, and it was so stylized and beautiful and excessive, and my interest was peaked. Also the 1938 movie Marie Antoinette is really good. It has the same excess and stylized quality as Sofia Coppola version. I've been looking for a good biography to read, but whenever I look at Chapters I am disappointed. Maybe I should ask for one as a Christmas present.

Fun fact: Marie Antoinette was one of the first people to have gossip headlines written about her. She was treated how celebrities are often treated in this day and age.

Of course I had to include "let them eat cake", even though historians aren't sure she even said that.

Check out both version of Marie Antoinette if you can! From a purely visual stand point they are gorgeous.
