Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at Tiffany's

While Friday nights usually consist of cosmos to start the night off, hours of getting ready to go out, small-talk with acquaintances at the bars followed by serious shot-taking to dull the awkwardness, and ending with a long walk home only to find out the next morning everything previously in your possession now belongs to your fellow Boulder blackoutees...I decided that my Friday nights need a change of scenery. While I have always known of Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffanys, and while I had always wanted to see it, the box next to it on my to-do list remains unchecked. I felt like I was doing womanhood an injustice by not having experienced the movie, so I took care of it. And what did I think? Did it change my life like I though it had all previous viewers? All I can say, man that girl has got it. There's nothing like sipping some Celestial Seasoning's Sleepytime tea, cuddled up on the couch watching a 1950s flick. And I'm glad it was with Audrey. Now I finally see what has been the hustle-bustle around Audrey and why she deserves it. This woman, owner of her 20in. waist, revolutionized fashion in Hollywood. While most girls in the 50's were sweater girls flaunting big hair and big bras, Audrey was going in a different direction sporting capri pants, cinched shirts, turtlenecks, and ballet flats. Rivaling fellow starlet Marilyn Monroe, Audrey introduced a style of clean lines and simplicity. But however simple it was, she knew how to work it. Not only did she have great style, she knew how to pick styles and clothing that complimented her tall and thin frame. Men's button down shits, trench coats, turtlenecks, pearls, white and black gloves, pixie bangs, ballet flats, sashes, capri pants, fabulous hats, perfect handbags, and of course, the little black dress. I don't know if it was the little black dress complimented by a pair of black gloves and pearls, or her elegance and wit she possessed in the film, but I too wanted to be sitting in front of Tiffanys in a little black dress, gloves, and stellar shades. There is no doubt in my mind, Audrey Hepburn was and is THE "it" girl. She is not only inspiring in the world of fashion, but in the world of women. To sum, I dont want to have Breakfast at Tiffany's; make it breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
