This blue gown with latticed detailing on the sleeves and skirt   was designed by Carlo Poggioli and Ann Roth, for Nicole Kidman’s portrayal of Ada Monroe in the 2003 film 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘔𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯.   The dress was spotted again in behind the scenes photos of the 2019 version of 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯, where it was worn by an extra as a wedding guest.   Learn more at Bit.ly/VicEd299

This pull quote comes across as faint praise, no?

This movie breaks my heart every single time..

JOIE DE VIVRE Inman: You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place. Ada: But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments. Inman: A thousand moments. They're like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck, that's real. — Cold Mountain (2003) 🎞 Nicole Kidman (Ada Monroe) and Jude Law (Inman) in the photograph #modelcalifornia #joiedevivre #connection #ambition #selfdiscocery #coldmountain #judelaw #nicolekidman https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DBRlDoDUz/?igshid=1ju6vefj96dzd

Finished! Still processing this one, it's a difficult one to summarize. It's a novel about a confederate soldier who escapes from a field hospital & tries to make his way home without being caught; it also follows the woman he loves as she learns how to fend for herself after her father's unexpected death alongside another woman who has lived a much harder life than she. The book is filled with warring philosophies on humankind's responsibilities to others, our relationship to the natural world, the nature of happiness & its worth, & all sorts of other substantial themes. I found it a little difficult to engage with at times, but I'm so glad I stuck with it, it's a really high-quality piece of writing. #nofilter #noedit #book #books #bookstagram #reader #reading #bookworm #literature #fiction #historicalfiction #civilwar #coldmountain #charlesfrazier https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ab1ZDhh8O/?igshid=1cn9vos7gwct5

• Happy #InternationalWomensDay fellow fandom friends! • I’ll be the first to admit that the amount of favourite male characters I have in my heart outweighs the female ones. • I think we can all agree that when it comes to writing women, few in Hollywood and television do a good enough job even now. So the women we see onscreen are often lacklustre or tired stereotypes rather than full fleshed our characters. • That being said, when I think of my favourite fictional ladies, these are some of the awesome people that come to mind! There are many more that I could list, but for now, here are the ladies that own my heart :) I’m happy to say I’ve cosplayed at least two of these (Rapunzel and Elphaba) and I hope to add a few more to the list in the near future! • #Women #Anastasia #LegendoftheSeeker #CaraMason #Pocahontas #Disney #AdaMonroe #ColdMountain #Elphaba #Wicked #Titanic #RoseDawson #RoseDewittBukater #OnceUponATime #ReginaMills #KahlanAmnell #BlackPanther #Shuri #Ariel #TheLittleMermaid #MCU #AgentCarter #PeggyCarter #Tangled #Rapunzel https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwYiU4DevP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m6mvd1uhrmpj
