Nothing Left Remarkable, by Amrita Chakraborty

Aiya Van Kooten everyone

When Aiya Van Kooten stood face-to-face with a burglar in her bedroom, her left eye twitched, then she went into “predator mode”.

“I screamed at him… jumped off my chair, leaped over my bed and sprinted after him down the stairs,” she said.

So in summary:

This lady doesn’t just defend her home and loved ones, she will hunt you down, team up with other skilled individuals, get you put away, and then teach you the consequences of your actions until you’re a valuable member of society once more.

I refuse to blame the costume department for this, because Emma had went in there and ultimately, was given creative control. She has spoken about working with the head designer, Jacqueline Durran, on the gown. From they way she spoke about it, it seemed like Emma was given more creative control than what she lets on. It’s unfair that an actress with no costume designing background was given control of her gown. Complaints and adjustments are okay and are actually apart of the costuming process, not giving the lead role complete control over their outfit. 

Instead of a corset, Emma gave herself a bodice that has some sort of tinseled plastic mesh underneath it. 

Over a 300 million dollar budget and they used glitter glue (in a striped pattern) on a delicate fabric. 

It’s obvious that while the dress could be pretty for literally anything but a movie, it doesn’t work in a live action remake. It’s unfair to Durran that her job was taken over by someone who doesn’t know anything about costume design and they decided to blow their money redesigning the dress until it fit Emma, not Belle. 

Who am I? I am a girl who loves my island I’m the girl who loves the sea
