Adrift

As we are transported into the summer of the seventies in Brazil, we see the lives of a family changing, Adrift presents the fun, awkard, confusion, lies, love, rebellious life of a teenage girl. The film stars the amazing Vincent Cassel, telenovela actress Deborah Bloch, and introducing Laura Neiva, also a small part of Camilla Belle, who I thought her character was so interesting that she should have been more developed. I do not want to give the story away, but it begins with Vincent Cassel's daughter discovering that he is having a affair with Camilla Belle.
The style was appropiate for a summer vacation in Brazil, fresh, bold, colorful, lots of bikinis and throw ons, all I wanted to do was go to the beach. The most stylish character was Camilla Belle, she wore the trendy clothes of the era, the head pieces, bold prints, big jewlery, long and flowy, as well as bikinis. Her character was as if she read Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, was a fan of Bianca Jagger.

The Lady is a Tramp


Lady Gaga is a tramp. It is the new version of the song by Tony Bennett with Lady Gaga on his new album, Duets II. "The Lady is a Tramp" was written by the greatest Rodgers and Hart in 1937 for the Broadway musical Babes in Arms, and since then it has become a classic and has been recorded by a variety of performers giving their special touch to it. Lady Gaga fits perfectly to sing this song not only because of her stage name, but because she has real talent to be singing next to Bennett. Tony and Gaga make a great duo, they combine the old and new, the classic and the avant garde, he is old school New York and she is the biggest pop star in the world.




The music video is just great, it is simple, classy, the audience could really appreciate the song and the talent. I think it was Lady Gaga's best outfits because she looked classy, ladylike, she looked how a woman in the thirties and forties would dress to go out an evening with thier husbands to the opera. Gaga wore an all black lace, see through gown by Tom Ford, and with her mint blue wig done in 1940s curls, very Old Hollywood Glamour.
