Last night I watched Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette". I've watched it two or three times before, but every time I find something new to love about it. Whether it's the style in which the movie was shot, the unbelievably beautiful set and scenery design, the perfectly created costume pieces, or the amazing soundtrack that combines both period music and songs by The Strokes... anyone who can do that deserves recognition.
After watching the movie and analyzing how the young queen lived like a modern day rock star, I found myself thinking of something else I loved; the idea of throwing a party like they did in the good old Louis XVI days. Although, it would have to be more like a series of parties to really get into the role.
There would have to be a dinner party, in a garden filled with candles, a perfectly well cooked meal on a perfectly well set table. Endless champaign to last the entire night and a hand picked group of lovely people to share this soirée with.
Then, there would be a second party. A real kick-ass party, that would look something like the "Lighworks" video form Acid Girls (

And finally, there'd be a third party, with and invitation that would say: You're invited to "Let Them Eat Cake // Watch Movies // Talk Fashion - Girls-Night-Only". Please R.S.V.P. - There would be more champaign (obviously) thousands of tiny french pastries and pedicure to heal our sore feet from all the dancing from the night before.
That does sound lovely, doesn't it? But that's just my personal fantasy. Anyway, if you're a BIG Marie Antoinette fan and want more cool related stuff, please go here >>
