Cold Warrior

A new short film is being made about a gymnast from the 1970's/80's addressing the issues of abortion and what a country's government will do to win. I have become increasingly interested in this project and have been in touch with the director, Emily Greenwood, who infact played a huge part in creating the movie 'Sweeney Todd." They are trying to reach a goal of $10,000 worth of donations to complete the film, which will be filmed in London this year. Whatever you can do to help contribute to this worthy cause would be appreciated by their team. To find more information on the project, please check out these websites:

So, that's your bit of HBC inspiration for the day.
Sorry that it's been forever since I last posted.

HBC Day!

I have declared March 3rd, Helena Bonham Carter day! Seriously, there needs to be a holiday for that woman. So March third from here on out, I am celebrating, (and the rest of the world should follow suit), by dressing up as Helena and doing anything that honors or is related to her.

As such, I celebrated Thursday, March 3rd, with my girls. We all dressed up and worked out with our stylish hair and make up. Our outfits were pretty spiffy as well! Mine was the most bizarre and the most like HBC in comparison, but that is, afterall, because I want to be just like her! Here's what I looked like. I didn't get many pictures unfortuantly. :(

I only managed to get a picture of one of my best friend's and I, at the gym, before we had to switch out of our HBC clothes and into leos. Here we are!

I think the dress I'm wearing, looks considerably like something HBC has worn in public before!

I was told by like 3 people that I should write to her. I am very much considering it. I would love to tell her she is my idol and I look up to her. She has impressed me immensly and challenged me to step out of my comfort zone!

Newest Montages

I finally have a trial of sony vegas! YES! I have played with it a little. There's a lot I have to learn but I posted a couple of montages I've made on my youtube channel and I thought I would at least post them here.

Number 1, is, of coarse, of HBC!



Number 2, is a montage of another amazing actress, who plays some nasty villianess's as well. I love me some, Miranda Richardson!



I also rented Sweeney Todd this week, I've already watched it twice since Saturday. ;) I really need to just go out and buy that movie!

Royal Doggy

Corgi's are known for being a dog of royalty in Britain. This breed of dog even shows up in the film, The Kings Speech!

And since I love this movie and love that HBC is in this movie, and plays a significant role as a queen. I have to show off my own pooch that is also definitely full of royal blood. He is completely spoiled and very photogenic!

He is a very affectionate dog, as is the rest of his breed. He loves to play with toys that squeak or make noise. Here's a picture of his bunny, which was his favorite toy for awhile. His new favorite, (which he is working on currently), is a toy squirrel.

Although he looks like he is about to pounce on the golf ball, he is merely posing for the picture. I wouldn't let him play with a golf ball since it's small enough that he could risk swallowing it.

Definitely loves snow! His fur coat keeps him warm enough to handle being outside in cold weather without complaint. He also loves chasing and catching snowballs.

He's a happy dog in all seasons, but he wont stay outside long in the summer since as beneficial as his coat is in winter, is as detrimental as his fur is in the summer.

He is very young at heart and spoiled rotten, but I'd like to believe that he is wise beyond his years. He was born with royalty in his blood and he's well aware of it.

A Little Bit of "Toast"...

"Toast" came out in December, 2010. The screenplay was written by Lee Hall, who is best known for his movie, "Billy Elliot". Another movie I absolutely adore!

"Toast" is based off of the true story of food critic, Nigel Slater.



In the film, Helena Bonham Carter plays the housekeeper and later, the step mother of Nigel. Nigel is not fond of his new step mother and likewise, she shares the same distaste for him. Yet again, another horrible relationship I love! I also love HBC's character, she is phenomenol in every film she does!

I found this montage of "Toast", which is why I decided to make a post about the movie.

Montage 1 created by bellaLestrange1-



This particular montage I found awhile back and everytime I heard the song, it reminded me of a particular woman who was, in a sense, a Mrs. Potter in my life. It was funny the amount of times I heard the song too while she was in my life. And even though, my plan was to leave her and everything behind. Instead, she was removed from my life from another source...

I tend to love BBC films, I've noticed...

Coming soon...

Coming up...

'A little bit of 'Toast'' 

and

'Oscar Awards & Nominations; The laughs, tears and greatest moments of cinema!'

But first, I'm gonna get some sleep.

Be back in a bit!

Jennifer Lawrence

I just saw a glimpse of the Oscars tonight and was incredibly surprised when this girl, that had to be around my age, stated that she hadn't been on a computer in almost a year!

This girl knows who she is and why she's here on this planet.



Seeing her, reminds me that, I too, know who I am and why I'm here.



Good God! Just listen to her! Talking about the scripts she picks:"They're not stupid. A lot of scripts are stupid, especially for a young blond girl. It's very hard to find a good story, with a good character."

Couldn't agree with her more!

I know she's not HBC, but she is a brilliant actress and I think all brilliant actresses can compare to HBC in some way, shape or form...


'Oscar-nominated for the first time for her role in Winter’s Bone, this year could see her crowned Best Actress in a Leading Role. Here are 10 things you should know about the actress:
